Our Bucket of Awesome Is Full for the Day...

So Kristin got this idea off the internet and we modified it a bit.

It originally said 

"Swag On"

"Swag Off"

But since neither of us are even remotely close to "ghetto" we figured this would be funnier and more like us.

Please enjoy

It brought us great laughter

Online Shopping

So you know how I said that I have a pair of earrings for almost every holiday?!?

Well I was lacking some for Thanksgiving and I have found the perfect solution to my problem.

As soon as I saw them, it was love at first sight and there was no turning back. It was as if they had cast a spell on me.

Aren't they just the cutest things you've ever done seen??????

Secondly, I ran across this second pair (not for turkey day) but I could not pass these up either. Although it is a little early to wear them, I will be satisfied, due to wearing my turkey earrings up until then.

AND, they light up! I'm so excited I just can't wait until they come in!

That is all for now

Something New

So, upon starting up my "food blog" as I like to call it, it seems to be that my original blog has suffered some neglect.

"there there, poor baby"

Ok, now we're all better. Yay!
So in order to come up with a way to not show favoritism, I have decided to go where no blog of mine has gone before... Series....
but a series of what you might ask... a series of lists. You see, when I'm not consumed by college I enjoy writing things that just "PoP" up in my brain. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're interesting, sometimes they're boring and get deleted.

I have devised a "regiment" of sorts. My goal is to submit at least 1 list every 2 weeks. Seeing how I post 1 blog per week on my other blog, this will be a great deal of writing, so please bear with me, and don't get all "well you said..." on me.

New post soon awaits you my dear friends.

Simply Me

You Might Be A College Student If...

So last Saturday, my wonderful best friend Brittany had her 20th birthday party. Kyle and I both went and basically hung out with her and her family, enjoyed cake and TONZ of food.
Upon asking my beloved boyfriend Kyle if he wanted to go with me, his response wasn't a "yes" or "no", better yet it was, "will they be watching the football game?".. what a guy
How was I to know. I'd only met Brittany's parents before this and wasn't sure if they were "football people".
Needless to say, he went either way, and as soon as everyone left, the topic of football arose. As kyle sighed and sunk into the couch another question was asked.
This time it was by Brittany's father.
"Why didn't you say something sooner!?! we could've turned this on as soon as it started!"

I couldn't care less about football personally, so Brittany and I decided to head into her room and put on a movie.

Only 1 problem.

No dvd player in there....

I won't take the time to sit and describe to you the process we went through to make this movie happen, better yet, I will show you.

If you are curious to know, the very tiny box on top is the actual dvd player... everything else underneath it, is a variety of board games, books, and shoeboxes.

NEW BLOG!

Ok. It is finished.

The new blog has been created, and I will put a disclaimer on it, after I published the first post, I was like, "holy cow, that's a really long post!" so for future posts, I will try to cut them down in size, most definitely, so bear with me. The url is

And...

Let me give a shout out for my new friend Sean Varnedoe, who was first to follow this blog.
