Lazy Saturday...


It has been far too long since I've had a Saturday with nothing to do.  Today I slept in, Made coffee with my new French Press (Thanks Kimberly), Watched Sisterpants 2, Went to Barnes and Noble with my dad (They are having a one dollar sale), and did Darrens Dance Grooves!  What a perfect Saturday!

Tender Moments...


I want to go to the Zoo... badly!

Alcott got it all wrong...


First off, Let me start by saying that I am a HUGE fan of Little Women.  I am currently re-reading the book, and I have just declared Little Women as my favorite movie of all time (this is a big deal).  However, I think Louisa May Alcott was mistaken in her choice of men for the March girls.  Here is my quick synopsis of the men of Little Women:

Mr Brooks = Boring... (No Mom, Boring does not equal good)  I seriously do not get how anyone could like him...  Meg is way too good for him

Laurie = PERFECT... Theodore Laurence is absolutely fabulous in every way... He is fun, adventurous, smart, but still kind and sensitive when needed... and of course he was rich :)

Professor Behr = Pretty cool guy... Smart, well educated... Not right for Jo

If I wrote the book Meg would marry the professor, Amy and Laurie are actually  a pretty good match, and Jo would be single forever and live with Beth...  But I'm not an author...

Did You Hear...



Did you hear that there is a serial bank robber currently loose in LA.  He has robbed 4 or 5 different banks in the LA area.  Did you hear that I work a bank???  Good times... At least they made me watch a bank robbery video!

Word of the Day...

Reverie:
Daydream;
A State of Idle and Pleasant Contemplation

Work was really slow this morning, so in order to look like I was working, I was looking up words on an online Dictionary/Thesaraus (I know I'm a nerd). Shelly and I have been listening to Priscilla Ahn, and in one of her songs she uses the word Reverie. My co-worker and I were talking about how a lot of times we understand what a word means, but the dictionary definition really sheds a new light on it. That is exactly what happened with Reverie for me. I feel like it is such an eloquent definition. New favorite word!!!

Say Hello To Your Friends...

Babysiitters Club...


Believe it or not, The Babysitters Club has been brought up randomly throughout the past couple weeks by several people. I was a huge fan (I still remember the song) so I decided to see if I could find anything on YouTube. Not only did I find old t.v. episodes... I found an episode guest starring Zach Braff! Ha love it! Now I'm going to go watch the movie:)

If Only...

If only I could sing like this...

I am completely obsessed with this song. Shelly & I were at the movies seeing Bride Wars and this song came on. We both immediately recognized the song, but could not place where we knew it from. It turns out Shelly actually has the CD (still don't know how I know the song) and I have been listening to this song on repeat since I got it! Love it!

LoL Cats...



It makes me laugh every time...

Sephora Adventures...


For the past 3 years my parents have gotten me that perfume sampler from Sephora. I spend many days (weeks this time) testing and wearing them all until I find my favorite. Well, the first year they did this there was a misprint on the voucher that just so happened to be for the perfume I wanted:) It allowed me to get the bigger size at no extra cost (cha-ching). The second year nothing happened. But tonight, I went to Sephora and they were out of the perfume I wanted in the size that the voucher allowed for, so they let me pay $15 more for double the size! WooHoo! The Sephora god's are on my side!

Side note: Tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary of working at ECCU... crazy!

Words of Affirmation...

I found this blog that was doing a words of affirmation project of sorts. People could send in affirming messages (meant for someone in particular) and the website would turn them into a cool sign/icon. Some of them are corny, some are clearly inside jokes, but some are awesome! I think I'll post them from time to time because they make me smile:)

Weird Animal Picture of the Week...



I Love It.

2008 Recap...

Technically this is a little late, but 2009 snuck up on me... 2008 has been quite the year... Honestly it feels like it has lasted forever... Some of the highights would have to be last semester of college, graduating! going to Hawaii, Nashville with the bro, learning to drive, working at a job that I am so thankful for (while it lasts), and most importantly,countless treasured moments with dear friends (concerts, movies, diz...) All in all it has been an excellent year! Here are some of my favorite things of 2008...

* Favorite Movie... This had to be a 3 way tie between Prom Night, Sisterpants 2, and Pineapple Express (not only did I love the movies... I had amazing experiences with the people I saw them with!)
* Favorite Song... I would be a traitor if I didn't say Womanizer
* Favorite Book... Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (even though it wasn't written this year, I read it this year)
* Favorite This American Life... "A Little Bit of Knowlegde" ... the birth of the term modern jackass, which I often want to use, but try to refrain from (seriously go listen to it)
* Favorite TV show... I'm going to have to say Gossip Girl... it made me love Monday...

Even though 2008 was great... let's hope 2009 is even better:)

Here is a recap of 2008 in pics...
