good & plenty

i always thought i hated black licorice
until i recently became addicted
to these things
(but mostly i like The Store brand holiday color ones)

my favorite quote

i really do believe that my life will be everything i want it to be.

so long

well tomorrow starts a new semester
and i'm not living at the deeg.
the feeling is bittersweet.
as nice as it is being at home with my family,
i will miss the deeg and all the great memories i have there.
the past two years at the deeg were amazing!
i compiled a list of things i will miss about the good old deeg:

7-11 runs on the daily
dance parties in the bathroom in front of the giant mirror
late night chat/bing sesh's in the kitchen
the white room, pink room, little shop of horrors, and the grandma room
sac of jems
staying at the sig till the wee hours of the night just laughing
pam and her amazing cooking
dg being my life
musical chairs and dancing in the chapter room
the lips of fame
miriam
staying out back in our cars chatting because we are too lazy to get out

but mostly..

constantly being around my best friends who are absolutely amazing

vegas

so we went to vegas for new years.
i have to admit,
i've never wanted to not go somewhere
as badly as i didnt want to go to vegas.
well it ended up being the most fun night of my entire life,
and everyday i wish i could go back and live it all over again!


trip highlights:

• sleeping (well...lying uncomfortably) with two others on a blowup mattress made for one
• a drunk man telling lil she was "the chosen one" and all the other funny quotes from the night
  
• us being sober, and more excited and hyper than any drunk person on the strip
• the beautiful fireman we couldn't take our eyes off of
• laughing all night long, and the whole ride home
  

simple little treat

yesterday while browsing at the mall,
i discovered OPI's new collection, matte nail polish.
the colors are the same, only not shiny.
i decided it was time to retire the red polish
i have been sporting for the holiday season.
i decided upon my favorite color,
you don't know jacque..
luckily for me, my mom shares my adoration
for nail polish.

it's like candy that doesn't make you fat.

time to run

a couple of days ago i heard on the radio
that the average person gains 15 lbs during the holidays.
then i got to thinking, i can't even remember when the last time i worked out was.
this summer i would exercise daily, and i have decided it is about time to get back into the habit
i have a lot of work to do, so tomorrow morning at 9:15, i will say hello to my new home:
Xcel Fitness

falalalala

christmas was a success! from dressing up like an elf, to
dressing the turkey with my family,
it was just what i needed.


note to self: be sure to find home alone 2 before next christmas season
