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.

sorry for being a whiny little baby sometimes i cant help it. i really cant.

It's a dashboard kind of day.

Sometimes I love it that very very few read this. I can type what I want to and not feel judged. Today needs to be one of those days. 

My day started out great. I woke up before my alarm...like 20 minutes before. So I stayed in bed and watched Sports Center. Then I got up and took a glorious shower and my hair dried perfectly into lovely little spiral curls. My hair has not looked this good in years. I stopped by DD and got a delicious ice coffee and came to work. Work was good all morning, slow and steady. I was able to get so much work done. Then I remembered that I register for classes at the end of this month....that's when things turned ugly... My advisor last semester told me that (at that moment, spring 2010) I needed 24 hours to graduate. 12 hours in the fall and 12 in the spring. And it worked out perfectly. I only had that many classes to take. perfect. wonderful. easy.

NO.

Today I get on, and see something confusing...91 hours completed 33 left. Excuse me? No, I only have 12 left, now. So I thought, okay I'm bad with math, lets calculate. 33-12 (that I am taking now...) = 21. Okay that's weird, still doesn't work out. I know I do not have 21 hours left, I only have 4 classes to take. What am I missing? Not sure. So I had a small panic attack (yeah, I have them now, a lot) and e-mailed the associate dean who is fantastic and way smarter than my advisor. She confirmed that I do indeed need 21 hours to graduate. I cried. Sobbed, actually. At work. I cry a lot at work now a days. She assured me that we will make it work. We set up an appointment for Friday.

It really sucks to think you are 4 classes (easy classes) away from graduation but really you are 7? So next semester will be a crappy one. And my parents are going to have to pay the outrageous costs for me to take a J.Term.

My schedule for next semester was going to be awesome, too. I already had it all set. Hopefully I can still take the piano class I want to take. I'm thinking it will calm me down? Maybe...

So after crying three times today, a large cherry coke and a disgustingly greasy cheeseburger (w/bacon) from steak n shake I am ready to cuddle up in bed with my snuggle bear and watch a movie, something sappy.  But I still have to work until five and then finish painting the office. Why the hell did I volunteer to do this? It took me two days to paint my office, and Brad's office is at least 4 times the size of mine. So I will be here until late tonight.

I am such a baby.

I wish I were still in Puerto Rico with my momma. Not worrying about anything. I always worry. I worry so much. I need to stop.

Why did my good day have to get all crappy.
Why do I let it get crappy.
Uggghhhhh.

On a brighter note, my nails are OPI's Jade Is The New Black. It's pretty funky. I like it.

Ciao.

Puerto Rico!

I had a very relaxing time in Puerto Rico with my wonderful Mother.

But it went by too quickly.

It is still hurricane season down there so it did unfortunately rain everyday.

But it was the kind of rain where you can still be outside...most of the time.

 It did pour at points.

But when it would rain we just move from our beach chairs to the hot tub or to the ocean.

The ocean water was so warm...like 80 degrees warm and crystal clear.

A gorgeous turquoise color.

But I hate being in the ocean, so I had to force myself to not have a panic attack.

The ocean is just scary. But I do love it.

When the sun was shining it was HOT.

I can't remember ever being so hot in my life.

I loved it!

The plane ride home was terrible.

I'm a big chicken anyways.

I hate every little bump and noise.

The flight from Charlotte to Chicago was terrible.

It was so  bumpy.

Like SOO bumpy!

I almost cried it was so bumpy.

I'll post pictures later.

Even though I didn't take many...

I don't think to take pictures.

I need to though.

P.S....I am at work. And it sucks.
 I have not seen Brandon since Tuesday and it kills me to know he is so close now!
Tonight we are having a date...well he is coming to help me finish up painting the office. He said it's not a date. I said if I buy beer and dinner it is...and maybe give him a few kisses.
He obliged. But he didn't have any choice.

P.P.S....I also can't wait to see Coop-dawg. I'm sure he didn't miss his mommy, but mommy missed him.

Did you know it's freezing outside?

Well it is.

f r e e z i n g

So I visited Butler and IUPUI on Friday. I LOVED them both so much. They are two completely different schools and both appeal to me in so many ways. Butler appeals to my small town girl side; while IUPUI appeals to my city girl side. It's amazing how these two schools, seven miles apart can be so different. Can't wait to see where this takes me.

And I love going to Indy because I get to be in land of the Colts and get all kind of new colts gear! So I bought a really sexy new 87 jersey..it's black. sexy. But guess who can't wear it today because they boys sucked it up yesterday. They also fucked my confidence picks. Gave them all 14 points. So boys, take the week to relax, practice, come back next Sunday and kick the shit out of KC. That would be great.

Okay, I had an awesome weekend. Went to the bars on Friday with my fantastic friends, and danced the night away. Pocket dialed my mom and 1:30 a.m....she told me she liked the song she could hear so she listened for a while. ha. First we went to Cams and it was dead! There were seriously 20 people there...they all happened to be our friends so we stayed and danced until closing. For some time Kate and I were the only ones on the dance floor. Totally my kind of night. Then we headed to Sullys for more dancing then off to the WONDERFUL Richards where Kate and I ate a whole Sampler by our selves. Fat kids. Got home at 4:30. Wild.

Woke up Saturday at 9:00 because Brandon left his work shirt at my house and needed it. Went back to sleep at 10:00 and woke up at 1:00. PERFECT. Looked like a super hot mess but needed food. Went to Schnucks for mac n cheese before I washed my face. gross. Then lounged on the couch with my roommates and watched movies.

Brandon and I went to best buy before meeting up with some friends for dinner. And I got the best new CD's ever...(can you tell I really love to buy CD's? This is my 6th CD Since last month!)

I got this wicked awesome, yes wicked awesome CD. It's Rock Symphonies by David Garrett. I saw it and thought this looks cool, then flipped it over to check out the track list, #1 is Smells like Teen Spirit (which is one of my all time favorite songs). I was sold. Right there. Bought it and it's fantastic.



Isn't he totally bad ass? He is.

I also got the 2nd Foo Fighters CD, The Colour and Shape

It's a great album. And one time I touched Dave Grohl's butt.

It was nice.

And The Goo Goo Dolls Greatest Hits

LOVE them.

Such a happy girl! I love buying CD's. Music is probably my favorite thing ever. I can't wait to pack for Puerto Rico tonight with some good music on in the background!

Whew, think I said enough?

Happy Monday.
