hello, happy birthday, the year begins!

January 7, 2008

Hello friends. Funny thing. I just got back from vacation, and I wrote a whole post before I left, but then I forgot to publish it. Sorry about that. But before I get any farther, happy birthday David, my love, and I hope to spend many more with you. :) Had to get that out of my system, but before I get too sappy, a brief rundown of my vacation. For the fourth year in a row I traveled with my good friend and former roommate Carmen and her sister Lauren to stay in a cabin in Angel Fire, New Mexico. We decided that three years of doing something makes a tradition, and so this has become one of ours….

A Brief Christmas Review

December 27, 2007

We all had a good round of Guitar Hero, even Mom and Dad. I am very proud of the fact that I have not once gotten booed off stage in this game. Anyway, Christmas was great. The best. I loved it. And then, later in the evening, I got the blues. The post-Christmas blues. I just love it so much and I never want it to end, really. So when it did, I started stressing about applying for the nursing board exams and going back to school, and stupid finances. Also, I’ve totally relaxed over the holidays and haven’t been running much or really eating that great, and now I have to whip myself into shape in just two months…

Christmas Is A-Comin

December 21, 2007

Katy tagged me to complete this Christmas survey, and since I am full of holiday cheer, I would like to share it with you. Also, I tag Tabaitha, Megan/Peter, and Erica to complete it, if they so wish. Without further ado: 1. What kind of tree do you have? We have about a 3-foot high artificial tree that we take very seriously. It is decorated with a theme of gold and cream colored ornaments, and it took us a good two hours to get it just right. Every time Cleo knocks an ornament off with her tail it is a crisis. 2. What is your favorite Christmas movie? I think I have to say Home Alone. So hilarious, so classic….

Christmas List

December 8, 2007

Around Christmas time I really get the urge to shop, which is normal, but it really stinks that I don’t have any money to speak of. So what I did instead was go “shopping” for things to put on my Christmas list. Everyone in our family is required to make a list and send it out, and I can’t imagine doing Christmas shopping without them. I make sure to make mine complete and send it out to everyone, not just my mom, well in advance every year. :) In case you’re interested, or even if you’re not, these are some things that I came up with this year. >Of course, Gilmore Girls – seasons 4, 6, and 7. Also House…

Holiday Decorating

November 24, 2007

My roommates Amanda, Courtney, and I are hosting a game night at our apartment tonight, so we decided we wanted to decorate the place for Christmas first. We all love the holidays and are very excited about it. So this morning, before Courtney woke up, Amanda brought out her share of the decorations, which include some creations she hand-painted herself. When Courtney woke up and emerged from her room, this was (more or less) the conversation that followed: Courtney: (sarcastically) Ahh, the ceramics. I’ve missed them. Amanda: I just don’t see how you don’t think they’re cute! Courtney: Um, well, hmm… Amanda: I mean do you see how much work I put into this? Look at the bricks on the…
