knit head bands

I think everyone needs to have one of these:





I have searched high and low for one of these knit head bands.... only to be disappointed so many times. I was getting close to giving up when suddenly, I found them at the most unexpected place: Tai Pan Trading.

I came across one when I was looking at these Coca Cola glasses (that I also want)


Suddenly, I looked to the side and there was one head band just sitting there in a bin next to the glasses!! I thought, "strange... why is there only one here? Could there possibly be more???" I wandered to the front of the store and low and behold, there were HUNDREDS of them! Of course, I had to get one and I love it! Words cannot express how delighted I am.

You can also buy them here. I am not sure if it's the same person who makes them but they seem exactly the same to me.

Thank you for letting me share my excitement with you, I hope you enjoyed my story.

Peanut m&m's

I love these little guys. Any type of m&m really will do.

But lately,

I am beginning to think the fellows in the yellow bag don't love me back.

I eat a few of them and I feel like this:



Like my heart is going to come out of me...
and yet, I continue to eat them.

The other m&m's don't treat me like this.

It's a Holiday!

Christmas time is a wonderful time of year; from Christmas music playing on the FM100 starting November 1st to trying to persuade Annie to drink Eggnog (one of my new favorite traditions). Here are a few highlights from our Christmas celebrations.

Setting up the Christmas tree

Muse tickets!! Don't worry, they're legit.

Reindeer glasses.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I did it.

I did it. I took the plunge and dyed my hair!!! My friend who is in beauty school did it for me and I think she did a pretty good job. I just look even whiter than I did before.




I'm sorry I look so grumpy in this picture. I'm not sure why I do...

It's OVER!

Finals are OVER!!! I finished my last final last night and this semester is officially over!! (although, steven has a few more days to go.)

To celebrate the semester being over, I thought I ought to post a few pictures.

We put up our first christmas tree this weekend.





What a precious little tree. We are excited for our first christmas together as a married couple.


What plans do we have for the holiday season?? eating, sleeping, partying, new hair styles, and painting dining room chairs.

Finals

I'm sorry, I know you heard me whine about homework in my last post, but I really need to whine about finals. Finals week is technically next week, but I swear all my teachers conspired against me and decided to make almost everything due this FRIDAY!!! This is what my finals schedule looks like:

Friday, Dec. 11th

- Final project for Children's Lit. due. I have already written 11 pages and I am still not finished. I get to rewrite Cinderella! kinda fun... kinda not.

- Final paper for Middle Childhood Development due. Haven't even started and this need to be 6-7 pages

-short socioemotional online post due also for Middle Childhood. only 150 words, thank goodness.

- 1-2 page socioemotional paper due ALSO for Middle Childhood. ugh.

- Final test for History of Rock n' Roll. Sound fun? they are actually some of the hardest tests I have ever taken. Sample Question: Who was David Bowie's first rockabilly influence? let me know if you know the answer.

Monday the 14th - Final for Middle Childhood available online until the 15th. I'm sure I'll wait till the last minute.

Tuesday the 15th - Final paper for Adolescent Development due. 8 pages in length... supposed to be based on a book I'm supposed to be reading right now... too bad I ordered it on amazon a week and a half ago and it still isn't here yet.


why all the papers?? I've never had this many papers due at the end of the semester!!! I'm probably going to have to put my hand in a cast after this week from all the typing I'm doing.

Ok. That was my rant about finals. I hope your finals go well for you!!

Make me do my homework.

Finals are coming up... I have a draft of a final paper due on Friday... and I just can't bring myself do it.


Why do we even have finals?


I don't know why.

I just want to go Christmas shopping.
