I LOVE back to school shopping. For anyone who knows me, I am not a huge shopper (like some others I know, ehem Steph). But one think I have always enjoyed is BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING! I love it!
So...I finally narrowed down my new boot choices, they are really really cute!
My fave is this one, in tan:
over the knee boots
I can see them going with a lot of things, sweater dresses, skinny jeans, leggings and long sweaters...yah!! Exciting. I have another few pairs in mind but that one is firt choice. I alse need a pair of black old faithfuls but I can get those puppies another time, I dont need them yet.
I also need some other things like a bag for my books, since this semester carrying them in my hand won't cut it. I would probably topple over head first with my luck. Also, its not 1995 and I am not gonna Jansport my crap, so I need a new bag from somewhere to tote around my junk. Any thoughts? Are messenger bags still in?
Help!

College Orientation
I have already taken a class, and I know my way around the school pretty well.
I wont be given any advisment, and yet I need to pay $60 for a MANDATORY transfer student oreintation tonight at 5pm? Stupid!
Why are people made to waste money on things like this at colleges? And whats with all these "fees"? My classroom was practically falling apart this summer!? Where do these fees go? I understand, shit is pricy, I get it. But you are going to make me pay to go to something I dont need to attend?
Doesnt that drive you insane?
Drives me insane.
Another crazy fee....parking! $180 to park in a fucking lot for a semester that will require me to walk like 1/2 a mile to the campus? Bullshit I tell you.
But I do like my school a lot...so I guess in the end its worth it right?
I cant wait till May 2011.
:D
B.S. of Food Science and Nutrition, with a concentration in Food Managment
Sounds delish doesnt it! Not that I will be able to get a job with this god damned economic crisis!
If it wasnt for all the money MSU is making me hemorage, I would be more excited than I already.
I really am a college student....a REAL college student. Its an amazing (and scary) feeling but its awesome.
Even when all is said and done, and the diploma is hanging nicely on my wall (if I have a wall left after all the money I am putting out) I will smile to myself, and know that for only the second or third time in my life, I finished what I started.
To have my baldy behind me is amazing. He is such a lifeline I tell you. He puts up with me and the hormone crazies...he puts up with me forgetting vitally important things like my credit card and money, he helps me whenever I ask him to around the house (wish I didnt have to ask but you know...) and he loves me. Unconditionally. The support I have from him is inasanly wonderful. I dont think I would have even gotten through the last two years without him.
I am a ball of mush today..
must I tell you.

Oh me, Oh my, GI
Yoga! Friday evening yoga...how I love thee!
Not that I do much but, um, childs pose (lol) I love Yoga!
The feeling of zen...total peace and relaxation....
Namaste....
My sweets made me a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich this morning so I can eat it for lunch-like I said, takin it easy today.
Oh how I love him.
His mom is grieving over the loss of her brother and cat-all in a span of two weeks. I will be staying home, I think his mom deserves some alone son time...

Anyways, its a weekend full of R and R (and cleaning) boooo...I feel like there is never enough time right?

Tonights Din Din Agenda...
Recipe here
My mom said when i was little I used to call Cauliflower "Califlowf"
Aren't kids strange? I guess I couldn't say the whole word.
Anywho...I am going to serve it in a pumpernickel or sourdough bread bowl, not sure which one yet. Ta-da!
Maybe I should make a little appetizer to go along with this, I don't think boyfriend man will get filled up on soup alone. Why do men have to eat so much?!
Only 1.5 hours remaining in this gloomy dungeon of recirculated air. Why couldn't I have a cool job? Like Chef, or ringmaster of a circus? Or maybe a politician? How about Obama makes me the Secretary of Food? That would be a job! :D
Its just that work is so LAME! I feel like it is this constant monotonous mind numbing, head hurting, crap-over and over again. For example, since I work in Marketing Research, its the same shit with clients all the time. DO this, do that, make these changes, take them out. Its enough to drive someone off a cliff! And forget about writing a report. Charts and graphs...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
So tonight me and the bald one will be cleaning and eating...the usual fun and exciting stuff.
Is it bad that I am excited for school to start back up already? Or am I just excited over my first A at a reputable school?? The county college experience was very, um, informative/easy/any monkey could graduate from there!
Im out!!!
:D

First Times
Technically this is my first "blog". Blog as in like, "go read my blog" or are you a follower on my "blog". I's.Be's.Bloggins.
Life as I knew it in the online world consisted of Journal Community and In the Wire...May they RIP. Sweet little sites that contained unfiltered, private writing where I had a small clan of readers who offered their unending support or love daily, they accepted me for who I am and my musings werent for the public eye.
They will be now, I have nada to hide anymore! "I'm comin out!"
So I will start blogging today. I know if I don't generate much of a following this site will eventually turn into a source for venting, but to be honest my superfilous venacular and the awesome little snippits of a 25 year old, full time college students life should draw a bit of a crowd. If not, oh well. Me is Me.
I wont give too much away, since I dont want to spoil the intrigue! HA
To sum things up, I am 25 and I am still waiting for my life to really "begin". I am not a celebrity, a politician, or an actress, although I am totally interested in reading about them on Perez every day. I am not a chef, a firewoman, or a scientist. This is starting to sound like a riddle...lol. My point is, I am still "getting there". I live in New Jersey. That says enough. The place is a shithole and my whole mission is to"get out of here" one day...Baby it WILL HAPPEN.
I am in love...the kind of secure, strong foundation kinda love that sticks with you. Not the emotional, rip your heart out of your chest and beat it with a stick kinda love. No my love is generous, but meak. Strong, but timid. And Silly, but serious. My love is that love you think about when you see the old couple bickering at 90...we are a rock.
My life is pretty entertaining at times to say the least. I have gone on a campaign to avoid drama, which has been the highlight of my week so far. No. More. Drama.
Yeah...like that will last.
Because no matter where you hide...it will find you.
"they" will find you!
:)
welcome!
