2.0.1.0.

Holy Smokes is 2010 really coming to a close? Why is is that years just flash by? How can a Monday drag on for ages but a year can just come and go in a blink of an eye?  I'll never understand.

Here is my 2010 recap...
* The Colts went to the Superbowl...but sadly lost.

* I started my blog!
* I got licensed to sell Insurance in the state of IL and had to make a sign to motivate myself to study. Insurance is hard!

* I danced the night away at The American Cancer Society Disco Gala that I helped plan

* Ran Sonny out of gas...TWICE.
* Said goodbye to my Sweet Penelope.

* Spent a week in Mississippi volunteering with my Church
* Moved into a house with my best friends

* Worked more than any 21 year old should
* Planned alot of weddings
* Spontaneously got my cartilage pierced one morning

* Had my first of many panic attacks
* Started my Senior Year at BU wearing this..cried and had a panic attack that day.  

* Taught a Sunday school class for kindergartners and first graders
* Went to Puerto Rico with my Momma for some much needed girls time
* Ended a five year relationship
*  Visited Graduate Schools
* Applied Here

* Met the man of my dreams

* Made a snap decision to pierce my Tagus

* Went to my First COLTS game!

* Turned 22!
* Went to my first Blackhawks game!
* Started my 2nd blog

All in all I suppose 2010 was a good year!
I laughed alot, cried alot, traveled alot, worked alot, loved alot, prayed alot, sang alot, danced alot, took some chances and lived alot.
I over came some challenges and grew as a person.
I can not wait to see what 2011 has in store for me!

Happy Thursday!
One more day till Jeffrey!

Hoot hoot, your cute.

"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly."

-Rose Franken

Have I said how lucky I am to have a wonderful boyfriend? Well I am. I am so lucky. We were talking the other day about how we are both so dorky and silly. I really love how we let our dorky sides shine. It's perfect.

Gosh, am I a huge sap or what? Grrrr....I miss Jeffrey. Can't wait till Friday!

So I started watching Dexter. I watched disk one of season one last night, and it was pretty good. I'm not hooked yet, not dying to know what happens next, but I will say I am a little curious. Jeff loves it and the guy at Blockbuster told me that I would love it (because we are bff's and all.). So I will watch disk two tonight and hopefully I will like it a little more.  It's a little creepy...but in a not meant to be creepy sort of way, ya know?

I got a new Owl Mug...isn't he cute?

I also got two other mugs, that I will make an appearance sometime. Yepp I love mugs, almost as much as I love coffee!

I'm in the process of doing some big things...I'll tell you about them when I get good news! I'll keep it in for now, in case I get bad news. lol.

Happy Wednesday!

Merry Merry Christmas

Even though I am glad Christmas music is off the radio, I am sad to see Christmas go.

One of my favorite things to do, is wrap presents! I love to pick out wrapping paper, and coordinating ribbons and bows and wrap away!

These are the presents from me to my brother, mom, and dad. I got my brother the movie, McGruber, which is actually hilarious! I got my mom some jewelry, and my dad Kid Rock concert tickets and his new CD.  Aren't the packages just lovely though? Yeah, I was kind of proud.

But with wrapping presents comes...a MESS!

Even though my packages look nice, I am not the best wrapper. I measure wrong, because I am lazy. I don't trim enough off, because I don't want to cut off too much paper then have to do it all again. So I get left with a big mess!

Christmas was great this year. I got to see my extended family, hang out with my immediate family and relax. Usually Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are h.e.c.t.i.c. Our holiday tradition is usually to drive to Indy, back home, back to Indy and then back home again. But for the past two years we have done away with driving back to Indy on Christmas day. So we go to the movies instead.
This year we saw  The Fighter and I thought it was really good. [Last year we saw Sherlock Holmes, it was not so good.] Mark Wahlberg is fantastic, but Christian Bale is amazing! ...next movie to see Black Swan!

Jeffrey came the day after Christmas to visit, which made me so happy. I hate being away from him. He also got me the best present ever!! A PG85 Jersey! Woohoo, I am pretty pumped about that!
Now I only have to wait until Friday to see him again!

Also got my nails painted OPI's Sparkle-licious. LOVE IT!

Happy Tuesday.
Happy last few days of 2010.

Booky Wook 2

I really want this book. I love Russel Brand and I love Katy Perry; and I really love them together.

So I was on Amazon, checking out how much this baby costs and decided to flip through the book and came across this;

" I knew I'd marry her on that first date,"

"She chose me, bottled me and cuffed me. And now this is my life, my girl, this beautiful woman. Just her and the revolution."

Oh my God, is that not Romantic?
Russel, I didn't know you had that in you.
Jeffrey take note.  ;) haha j/k, you are pretty romantic.
So after Christmas, once my bank account beefs back up this bad boy will be mine :)

I recently got a book to read over xmas, and so far it is pretty good.
Earnest Hemingway's, A Farewell to Arms
Hopefully I can get it done this weekend in the car on the way to Indy
I love me a little Hemingway.

Here are a few other items on my Amazon wish list...yes I have an Amazon problem:
* The Great Gatsby... I want to re-read it before the movie comes out, and since it is one of my favorites I figure I should own it.
*Italian Phrase-a-day desk calendar ... you know to brush up on my Italiano
* The Keri Hilson CD ... don't hate me cuz I'm b e a u t i f u l
* Going the Distance ... amazingly adorable and hysterical movie

Happy Thursday, It's almost Christmas!!

Oh...PS...have I mentioned lately how fantastic my boyfriend is? Even when he is far away, he is the best.
I heart you michael jeffrey.

I have a new blog!

In addition to this blog here, I now have THIS blog too!

I am a little excited.

Enjoy!



Baby Hedgehog.

Jeffrey and I were talking about this the other day... I think I would really enjoy having a baby hedgehog. I think Coop would like it too.

Does this not melt your heart?

I am in l.o.v.e.

I think if I got a baby hedgehog I would name it Marco. That seems like a fitting name for a dashing young hedgehog.



On a different note, I had an incredibly random dream last night. My dad was driving me to school and we drove past a church "yard" sale. So we stopped and loaded up on all kinds of goodies. I got Vera Bradley patterned cups, plates and bowls. I got Disney Princess coffee mugs and Indianapolis Colts place mats. Why am I dreaming about kitchen things? Maybe I need to get myself some new cups, bowls and plates?

{...maybe it's because I can not wait to move to a new place, maybe even a new city next year! Yes, actually I am very excited for what the next couple of months will bring...}

Grades came out yesterday...I did alright...this semester was pretty hard for me. But I snuck away with a 3.0 which is decent, I suppose. Maybe I need to work less and study more? Maybe I need to sleep less and study more? IDK...but this is my first semester in many semesters not making the dean's list and that is kind of a bummer. Senioritis got the best of me.

Today I have to do the last of my Christmas shopping, do some wrapping and pack up all my laundry for the Laundry Fairy. Then tomorrow I work half day, get my nails did, and gggoooo hooommmeee!!!!

Yeah, I am a tad excited to go home.

Happy Wednesday

4 days until Christmas.

10 Days until I see Jeffrey!

Happy Tuesday.
Only 5 days until Christmas!

Since last Thursday I have tried to watch Despicable Me not once, but twice! The first time I only saw about six minutes of the movie until I fell asleep. I tried to watch it again yesterday, and only saw an additional half and hour before I dozed off in to a much needed nap. From what I saw it seems like a cute movie, but it just puts me right to sleep.

I also recently watched The Town and oh.my.goodness it was good.
Real good.
Ben Affleck was dreamy as usual and his Boston accent is to die for.

Anyways....
My boyfriend went home to Chicago for Christmas break today. :(  :(  :(  :(
So I am a little sad. I am making a pouty face right now. 


Have a Happy Tuesday.

12 Blog Posts in one....get ready.

Finals and school are finally over!
After almost a week of non-stop paper writing and studying I am finally done.
In the course of four days I wrote one seven page paper, one ten page paper, and one 21 single spaced beast/bitch of a paper. That's a lot of words.
It was painful, but I am so glad it is all done and over with. I don't know what kind of grades I got on the two short papers, but I got an A on my big one!! Woohoo!!! And I only cried once over it all. YAY me!
Now only one more semester to go! That freaks me out, but it's also exciting.
It's almost Christmas!
I love Christmas. I love all the fun traditions that come along with Christmas...well except for the music, I hate Christmas music. Barf.  But I love baking cookies, going to parties, seeing my family, the tree, and of course waking up early Christmas morning to open presents! I am twenty-two years old and I am still always so giddy on Christmas Eve. I get a terrible night's sleep because I am always checking the time, I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I will forever be a seven year old girl at heart when it comes to Christmas. C:

Look at our beautiful Christmas tree.

Even though it is filled with EVERY SINGLE Christmas ornament my brother and I made in preschool and elementary school, it is still gorgeous. My mom is the best Christmas tree decorator ever. She puts pretty poinsettia's on the tree, which ties it all together and makes is beautiful! I will say, it's almost time to put the box of Elmer's glued ornaments away forever. Branden and I are big kids now. But I still love it. I always get a good chuckle every time I pull one out, my brother and I were not the best crafters as children. In fact...we sucked.

I also love our Christmas tree because every year my brother and I get a new ornament, it is personalized and has something to do with us directly. My parents put a lot of thought into our new ornament and I love it. The ornament present is one of my favorite presents to open.

And our tree is the best because Christmas presents under it. A lot of people I know don't do this until Christmas...like everything is from Santa. That's weird to me. Presents have always gone under our tree right away. Plus, I love to browse through them all and give mine a good shake. Yes, I told you, I am seven years old.



This is a terrible picture, grandma wasn't ready.

But check out the new jersey. LOVE>



I went to Indy this past weekend to see my Grandpa, my Grandma, and to attend my mom's side of the family's Christmas party. And my Grandma got me the best gift everrrr. A new Peyton Manning Jersey! My old one has gotten a lot of use, it was time for an upgrade! So with the luck of my new jersey, the Colts won this weekend! ....but next weekend they play my second team; the Raiders... eeee I hate to see the Raiders lose, but I guess it's gonna happen. The Colts need to win! And the Colts will always be my #1.

Well I have a lot more to blog about...but I am at work...so that means I should work? Right? Yes.
I hate busy Mondays.
But Happy Monday, nonetheless.

Someone like you.

Yesterday Jeffrey and I watched Charlie St. Cloud. It was pretty good, a little depressing, but overall it was cute.

Look at how cute this girl is. She had the cutest wardrobe through the whole movie. And in the end she and Zac sailed off into the sunset (or something cheesy like that) wearing the most adorable white outfits.

I think Jeffrey and I are going to move to wherever they lived (Oregon, Washington?) and be the cutest sailing couple ever. We will wear boat shoes and coordinating outfits and it will be lovely. :)

That's all.

Happy Monday.

Letters.

Dear July,

I miss you.
Only 8 more months until I can bask in your wonderfulness again.

Until then,

Kati.

Dear Snow,

You make me gag. I hate everything about you. I don't even like to look at you in pictures.

Please go away and never come back.

Warmly...so you'll melt,

Kati.

_______________________________________________________________________________

Dear Wendy's,

I love your new hand cut & sea salted french fires. I also love your spicy chicken nuggets.
I am so in love that I think it is becoming a problem. I have eaten at your establishment three days in a row.

XoXo,

Kati.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Cozy Banana Republic Sweater,

Thank you for being so warm and comfortable. I wore you yesterday for the first time this season, and decided to wear you again today. You make me so happy. I even love that I don't have to wear pants with you, because you are just that perfect. You know that I hate pants. Especially when I eat Wendy's three days in a row.

Snuggles,

Kati.

Dear Senior Year,

You are going by WAY to fast. Yes, I am excited to be done, but I am also a little frightened. So please...slow your roll. Just a little.

Thanks,

I can not wait to get off work and see you.
You are the best.

Dear Friday,

I have been waiting for you.

A random collection of catching up...in no particular order...

1. Jeffrey met the parents.
 It went very well. I was pleased. My parent's liked him. Even though I was super embarrassing and said some naughty things. I have made a new rule for myself...no more drinking with my parents until I learn to keep secrets.

2. Thanksgiving
 Instead of the usual "Nice, girl, niiiiceee" phrase it was "Fat, girl, faaaattt". As I stuffed my face with all the deliciousness that Thanksgiving has to offer. Super yummy deep fried turkey, ham, dumplings, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, mac.n.cheese, rolls...mmmm ssooo good! Followed by pie, pie, pie, and some no bake pb dessert :) And almost a week later I am still having to squeeze into my jeans. I am not thankful for that.

3. School
I have yet another 75 minute presentation to give today. Thanks Dr.Kasch. You really are amazing. I also have 3 very long papers to write.

4. My birthday.
Yep. I am officially old now. I'm 22 a week and a day old. Eh, I guess it's kind of cool. Kind of weird to grasp though, I'm 22. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks about these things. And I got an fabulous coach purse! I am so loved..and a little spoiled.


Love.



5. My favorite thing in the whole world.
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. 2010. AMAZING. I would give anything to have Alesasndra's body. All the Angels are amazingly gorgeous, so confident and sexy. Maybe I should stop eating so much pizza and drinking so much beer and start eating celery sticks and drink more water...maybe I should also hit the gym?
The show last night was g.r.e.a.t. though.
Even though I was sad though that Heidi didn't do anything. I thought for sure she would make a guest appearance.


I.heart.her.

Happy Wednesday.
Happy Pay Day!

Now I'm 22...and I am thankful for so much

Maybe I should have done this on Thursday...I've been busy...alright? Well not really...err kind of, but Thanksgiving break was wonderful. I ate lots of food...put on 4 pounds...took lots of naps, hung out with my best friend, celebrated my birthday, spent lots of quality time with my parents, and the boyfriend came to good 'ole Mahomet to meet my parents! ....More on all this later.


But first, here is what I am thankful for this holiday season.


*A Great best friend that I can always count on

* OPI Nail Polish & my nail lady...they know how to make a girl feel sexy
* Warm cups of coffee
* Cooper















* The Colts, even if they do suck.
* My parents who are beyond amazing...even when I am terribly obnoxious
* A boyfriend that always says the right thing and makes me incredibly happy

*My Roommates 

* Deliciously scented candles
* My big cozy bed
* Noodles with butter and Parmesan 
* Scarves
* Pepsi Max
* Pandora Radio & My iTunes

Happy Holiday Season.
...but can I just say, I'm not thankful for Christmas music on EVERY radio station. Not everyone is obsessed. Just sayin.

Happy Monday.

One more day

Tomorrow.
I turn 22.
eeeekkk.
22 
Today is my last day being 21.
I don't like that.
Next year though is my golden birthday.
So maybe turning 23 will be alright.
Okay, gross. I don't wanna think about that.

Anyways...This weekend was the b.e.s.t.
Lately all my weekend seem to be terrific, but this weekend was really terrific.
Chi O formal was a blast.
Jeffrey and I tore up the dance floor.
Even though he is selfish about twirling.
Boy loves to twirl himself.
It's cute.
He's cute.

Saturday and Sunday were lazy days.
I slept in sssooo late on Sunday, the latest I have ever slept.
It felt so good though.
Sunday turned out to be a little crappy when the colts lost.
and the giants lost.
and the raiders got their asses kicked.
It was a bad day for football.
And the Manning family.
Gosh, it was bad.

My wonderful boyfriend is taking me out on a date tonight.
For my birthday.
We are going to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants and then to the movies
I am very excited
I am such a lucky girl
Very very lucky.

Happy Monday
Happy last day being 21 to mee

I wish the sun would come out.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Amazon?
Well, I LOVE Amazon. So on Monday I pre-ordered Rihanna's new CD Loud, and I also ordered Taio Cruz's Rokstarr. I got them both yesterday! It was great. And I love how I am probably the last person on Earth to still be buying CD's...but I like to have something to hold. I hate spending my money on things that I can't really see or hold or play with. ha. Like gas....maybe that's why my gas light is always on?

I also have two stupid tests today. uughhh. They brought on many tears last night while I was trying to study. For some reason this semester I am just bad at school, I am not real sure what's going on, but I need to stop and get focused or finals are kick my butt.

Luckily my boyfriend ( love that ) is wonderful and made me feel all better. He wasn't even scared off by my puffy eyes and snotty nose. Thanks boyfriend.

I am just waiting for the weekend. Friday is chi-o formal and I think Saturday will be my birthday celebration! EeeKkk...my birthday is on Tuesday!!! Gotta enjoy my last few days as a crazy 21 year old.


Well Happy Wednesday.

I'm just sittin on top of the world

Last week I colored my hair. I love it.





Can't really see the color in the pic. but it's there.





I also got my tragus pierced. It hurt like hell.

In a couple of days I get to change the hoop to a stud.

Ps...remind me to never take a pic from this angle again. Is my nose really that bumpy?

I also went to my very first Colts game! We sat in row 18!! Kind of awesome, right?

I could hear Peyton calling out plays.

BALLER

The view from my seat. My crappy phone pic. really does not do it justice.



I seriously have the best parents ever. They love me to the moon and back and I am so thankful.

I also don't have a FBF anymore...I have a BF. : ]

Great weekend. Great life.

Happy Monday.

Dive on in like honey bees

FBF...look I do like country music.
I know it's not your favorite type of music...but I feel like you like it more than you let on.

I go to work smiling

I am just so happy.

So So So Happy.

Thanks fbf for making me so happy.

Today I am getting my hair cut. Maybe colored too? Can't decide. We'll see what Janell says. 

Nothing too drastic if I do color it. Just want to spice things up. I just have boring brown hair. It needs some life, some sass. I'm kind of sassy, right? Good. I thought so.

Anyways, Happy Wednesday.

a letter or two or four.

Dear Colts,

Next Sunday I will be making the trip down to the wonderful Lucas Oil Stadium to watch you boys play. Please win for me. I don't like the loosing bullshit you sometimes pull. And Austin, I hope your head feels better. I would like to see you play.

Sincerely,

Your-forever-fan-Kati

_______________________________________________________________________________

Dear Winter,

Please stay away. I don't care to tromp through any snow or scrape my windshields quite yet...or ever. I wish it would be 100 degrees and sunny every single day. I just got new sunglasses and I would like to be able to wear them.

Thanks so much,

Summer-lover-Kati

Dear Birthday,

EEEEE! You're almost here. 15 days! Though I have a love hate relationship with you, I am excited. Not to turn 22,  but just for my birthday and a yummy ice cream cake, and presents. You know how much I love presents. Even though I think the Colts game is my present, I know my parents won't let me not have anything to open on my bday. Yippie!

See you soon,

I-can't-believe-I-am-almost-22-Kati

_________________________________________________________________________________

Happy Monday

TGIF

Yes. I rocked this look all night. vom.

Sometimes...a really awesome Thursday makes waking up for work on Friday really hard.

But oh so worth it.

I am a little hungover today, but I am crazy happy and can't really stop smiling.

Except for when the phone rings...then I scrunch my face and pout for a brief second.

Sometimes life is just so good.

Happy Friday

I hear her playing that same old song.

I love music. I could listen to music all day every day. I have a million favorite songs, it seems like every time I hear a song, I think to myself...YES this is my favorite song, and then I turn it up and sing along terribly. And they usually all come from the 90's or early 2000's. Puke I know. I just listened to great music when I was little, and I could never let go. I still own and listen to the very first CD's I ever got. Jewel-Pieces of You and The Wallflowers-Bringing down the Horse. Yeah, gay, I know.

But anyways, I for real have some favorite songs. More like a large handful of favorite songs. Here they are.
the Songs I will LOVE forever; ....so dramatic right?
-Slide...the goo goo dolls
-Bad day...fuel
-She Says....unwritten law
-She Says....howie day

oh.ps.20.days.until.my.birthday.

AAHHH!

23 Days until my 22nd Birthday!!!

puke.

I remember my whole life being so excited to turn the next age. I couldn't wait to be 10, 13, and 16, then 18, and 20 when I was no long a teenager, and duh 21.

But 22-what is cool about being 22? Uh nothing. It's just old.

I mean obvi. I am pumped for my birthday? I love birthday's, just not the ages anymore.

Annnddd 14 days till I am going to my first ever COLTS game! Woot. So excited for that.

Anyways, enough.

Happy Monday  

Happy November

This is how we do.

Happy Halloween! 

I had the greatest weekend ever. 

Not sure who this dude is, but Kerry and I made awesome Power Rangers. 

Oh just hanging with Ke$ha 

I also had an obsession with someone else's teeth. gross i know. But I kept taking them and wearing them. I did always want braces.  

Happy weekend. 

happy happy happy 

T.G.I.F.

I am in this terribly retarded class, but sometimes we do fun things. Like spend a whole class doing stupid fun shit like this....


The Sticky Leavings Camp Fire

 Jokes.

I am in a slight panic, because registration for next semesters classes did not go as easily as I planned. So I am panicking. what else is new?

But this weekend is HALLOWEEN! Yippie. I am totally pumped for all the weekend festivities. Like being the yellow power ranger while Kerry is the pink one. :) We are going to be totally bad ass. like fer real.

Also one of my most favorite-est books ever finally came in the mail today! I ordered it at the beginning of October! UGH. But I am so excited. It's called Project Everlasting and it was written by two bachelors. It is such a lovely book. I recommend every guy out there reads it. Major inside scoops on relationships. :)


Happy Friday. Happy Weekend. Happy Halloween!

Let Me Entertain You



My new favorite OPI color.





It looks way better on me. It's more magenta than red. And I have much better nails.
ha.



My nail lady, Lynn, is the best. She is so fun and I love chatting with her. Yesterday I had lots to share. Told her about my break up with Brandon and the new and exciting things coming my way. Even told her about this cute guy I know. That's mostly what we talk about. 

I'm really happy right now. Really happy.

Happy Wednesday.

....I thought you would never come.

Whatever. :)

Seriously...I had a fantastic weekend.

Like, seriously, fantastic.

Thursday- started the weekend... and it was great. Went out and had a blast, one the best Thursdays ever.

Friday- I faked sicked and left work early so I could go shopping with Kate.

...I am such a little rebel!...

Then Kate, Kevin & I (yes, I was a third wheel.) went to see Hereafter.

Oh my God it was terrible. Just terrible,.

 I am speechless on how bad it was.

Saturday- I drove home for the afternoon. My parents seriously are the best. They had gone shopping the day before and bought me a scarf, two shirts and a sweater. LOVE. (So that means I got three new scarves this weekend!) And ee carved pumpkins. As my dad and I were talking about what we were going to make I said "I am going to make a Cyclops," and he said, "Don't you make a Cyclops every year?" haha, thanks dad. I do indeed carve a Cyclops every year, but they always look different. I think they are cool.

After pumpkin carving, we went shopping a little more. It was a bust and the mall was packed because it was the U of I's homecoming so there were lots of people there wearing their blue and Orange.

My momma made me a scrumptious dinner and then I came back to Ptown and went out with the girls.

So fun.



Meet Igor.

And Sunday was completely lazy. I went to church and the Mr.Chi O pageant. But other than that I did nothing but watch football all day. I am still a little shocked that the Raiders kicked the shit out of Denver, but you know I am always pleased to see the Raiders win, even if it does cost me 11 points. I am also not to pleased that New Orleans got their asses kicked too by Cleavland. For Real? New Orleans is so over rated. And that was 13 points down the drain.  

But I still won my confidency pool. Like...kicked ass.

Now I am at work, doing a whole lot of nothing. Waiting until 1:00 when I get off so I can study for a test I have. Then class all evening.

Class won't be so bad.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. A lot.

If you want to be happy, be.

Happy Friday.

I have a long day ahead of me, since I only got an hour of sleep last night.

Pumpkin carving tomorrow.

Football on Sunday.

Happy.

Love. 

You and Me...

"it'd kind of be like cats and dogs. Oil and Water. Sand paper and bare ass."

...but I'd still like to try...

Definitely Maybe was on T.V. the other day...two times, right in a row.

So all the roomies (minus Kerry who was in Chi for her Teach for America interview!!!) sat in the living room watching. I have to say, it is a sweet sweet movie. I love it.

Then Kate and I proceeded to drink a bottle of wine. Much needed.

This week has really been kind of hectic, when all I want to do is sleep, I just can't.

Today is the ultimate sucky day; work (now), an exam at 4:30, followed by a 75 minute group presentation at 6. Let's just say that I have barley studied, and my group finished our power point yesterday. Today will be a little hectic. Thanks Dr.Kasch for giving an exam in class 1 and assigning a group presentation in class 2. You really freaking rock.

But after today the week will get much better. But I do still have a lot to do.

I still need to start applying to grad schools, I need to start studying for the GRE, I need to clean my room and de-stress, I need to print pictures, I need to carve pumpkins, I need to buy a new pair of shoes. I need to talk to you. I need to get my nails done and my hair cut. I need to pay bills. I need to play with coops and dress him in his football costume. :) Oh yes, he will hate it.

Even if I don't feel good/happy today, at least I look good..outfit wise. I am wearing one of my favorite ruffled shirts...from NY&Co. A bright, cheery and soft, yellow cardigan from NY&Co. (my pants are also from NY&Co. On most days it's pretty safe to assume I am wearing NY&Co. Favorite!)And my favorite shoes from Nine West. They are so me, arn't they?



Ignore the slept on hair and the fact that I cut off my head...it's about the clothes. I didn't say I looked good...the clothes do.



Happy Wednesday.

om nom nom

I am so hungry!!!

Like I think my vision is blurring because I am so hungry.

But I am craving three things and can not decide what to eat...

1. Pizza...I really wanted pizza so bad yesterday, but yesterday I was so busy I didn't have time to eat

2. Mac n Cheese...I just had a craving for this ten minutes ago. Always a solid choice.

3. Tacos. mmmmm....but I had Taco Bell on Thursday, so maybe I shouldn't do it again? 

Mmm...so hungry.

...................................................................................................................................................................

Anyways.

My weekend kind of s.u.c.k.e.d.

Had some good moments.

-Got to see my family...and both my grandmas.

-Bought a new lap top. yippie.

-Had Woodsy...only fun for a few hours.

Had some craptastic moments too.

But I don't feel like talking about that.

I can't yet.

...............................................................................................................................................................

Have a Happy Monday.

Tomorrow is Woodsy!!!!

WOODSY!!!

Senior Year Woodsy.

It's bitter sweet.

But so exciting.

We are having a "Big Willy" party, only with us five and our dates.

I am so excited to hang out with the roommates and go to Woodsy!



Big Willy!



We are all making/buying an appetizer so we can munch...we all love to eat.

I think it's all we do. Eat and girl talk.

So I am making this and buying something like this.

Yes, I  hate that I am going to buy it.

But I such a picky eater, that if I know what's in it I won't eat it.

The recipe's I am reading are calling for mayo and sour cream or ranch and olives.

YUCK.

So I will buy it. Because I know it like it from the store. :)

But yumm yumm to a chocolate chip cheese ball...I think it will taste like cheesecake.

And I like that.

I think we will be drinking Goldschalger, or Rumplemintz.

Even though Rumps is a Hogger thing... hmm

Oh yeah, Thanks Mom for getting me hooked on Goldschalger.

Your the best.

Tonight is my office "Open House". I am kind of excited. Kind of worried, I hope people come.

The office is fully pained and lookes pretty good.

I'm still a little iffy over the blue trim, wish I would have picked a green or a maroon.

Oh well.

My today will be a long one. Been here (@work) since 8:30 will be here until 7.

Then a group meeting...for our 75 minute presentation that is next Wednesday, and oh yeah we haven't started anything.

Awesome.

Followed by Pan.Fra.Sing practice!

 Then making a chocolate chip cheese ball and trying to catch up on Grey's & P.P.

Since I missed it last week.

Whew. Makes me tired just thinking about it.

One more thing....look at my cute little monsters I drew in my notes.

Yeah.

I'm pretty awesome.

Happy Thursday.

Today is fall

I am having a much much better day today.

And I am kind of enjoy this fall weather...but ONLY kind of.

It is so crisp and fresh outside...

Makes me want to take a real deep breath then put my hands in the air and twirl around.

yepp. it does.

Maybe I will.

I kind of like it.

And I am the proud and r.e.s.p.o.n.s.i.b.l.e. new owner of a State Farm Credit Card.



Yippie!

.Happy.Humpy.Day.
