I decided to post again because there are a few things that have happened since my last post that are worth mentioning. So, whenever I sneeze, I always say, "Bless me" because that's what you say when no one says it to you. This is probably Rose's least favorite thing I do (I know, it's hard to believe) but she makes a point to say, "BLESS YOU!" whenever I sneeze. Anyway, today in one of her classes the guy behind her sneezed and said, "bless me" and his friend was like, "umm did you just say bless me? everyone in the class thinks you're lame" or something like that. And then he sneezed again and started to bless himself, but his friend said, "BLESS YOU!" I wish this kid read my blog so he would know he's not alone and it's totally acceptable to say "bless me." Sneeze on.
Also, before I offended Ben at dinner, he came in our room and watched the rest of Mean Girls 2 with us. Probs the dumbest movie we have ever seen, but we did give it the benefit of the doubt and watched until the end. Then we went to dinner and I didn't really offend Ben, he was just pretending, but I was super concerned that I offended him because I started to say, "I would be freaking out if I didn't..." and what I was most likely going to say is "...know my major," but Ben is undeclared, so I then explained to him that I would be freaking out because I'm such a freak and have my whole life planned. Anyway, it was chill.
Just did some work in econ and caught up on J. Shore. Can't wait to get home after work and go back to sleep ALL DAY.

Here are a few things I'm not a fan of:
Mondays
Tuesdays
Wednesdays
Mean Girls 2
Getting in trouble
Learning about graphs in bio lab
Getting judged in bio lab for saving Lia a seat
Missing Ryan
Econ
Ice
Ok that is a long enough list. So anyway, Rose and I are watching Mean Girls 2 because we thought Gilmore Girls was on, but it's not and we think this movie is super dumb, but we can't turn it off. I'm watching a commercial for Jenny Craig and Carrie Fischer is on Jenny now. Interesting. OH NO. Now it's one of those really sad commercials about animals. Aw, so sad. Ok, on a lighter note, tomorrow is a snow day. I still have to work at 7:30, but I'm going to come home and sleep super late. So today I had work from 5:15-7:45 and then I stayed and worked out and my 9 was cancelled, so I showered and watched A Haunting. Such a great idea. Then I had bio lecture and I sat with my new friend Trish. Then I had Easy Mac for lunch (thanks to ryan's family for sending me back to Como with so much food) and then I had Econ and then Bio Discussion. So basically Econ and Bio have taken over my life. Sorry this isn't a very exciting post. Another sad commercial. UGH. Ok, I feel like this post has been especially whiny, so here's a list of things I like right now:
Chips and Salsa
Muh bed
Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson
Warm socks
Caramel Lattes
Getting answers right in bio lab
Ok, I might blog again later to make up for this lame blog/lack of a blog yesterday.
Love,

Target
Sorry for my lack of a creative title for this post, but I'm too drained from the Target adventure to think of anything. What started as a simple afternoon trip to Target with Mare and Lis, ended as a 4 hour ordeal. We got to the first bus stop at 2:40 and got on our first bus at 3. We drove around for a long time and Lis was getting super nervous in her fratastic shoe/sock ensemble that we weren't getting off at the right station. We eventually got to a station at 3:20 and waited until 4:05 for the next bus. We finally got to Target and I got some more leggings that were super on sale and some other boring things like plastic baggies and dish soap. Anyway, they had these really cute boots on clearance, but they were for little girls, so I didn't get them. By the end of our Target adventure, we were ready to kill each other because we were tired and hungry and Rose wasn't there to keep us (Mare and Lia) under control, but luckily there was a TacoBell in the mall and we survived. So that was that story. I think you had to be there and I'm kind of jealous of you if you weren't.
On to other things...
So I made two new friends this week. One girl from my bio class who lives in my dorm and another girl who is in my econ class. I'm glad I have study buddies now, especially in econ. Do you ever feel like when you're making a new friend that it's like you're asking them out or something? Sooo yeah, we should like study together or something...just text me...#imnotacreep. Anyway, I'm excited to have friends in all my classes now. So I was up pretty late last night, so I'm just going to stay in and chill tonight. I'll probs work on some homework. Right now I'm watching some movie on ABC Family. Quality television, people. Oh and now there is a commercial on how to style your hair like Aria's on Pretty Little Liars. OH! Maybe I'll do some reading and catch up on that show.
Love,
Cares
p.s. 13 days until Ryan visits!

These boots were made for running....
....to Strickland at 8:54 because I woke up at 8:50 for my 9 am class. Luckily, I set out my outfit last night, but picked high heeled boots because I thought, "Hey, I did my laundry and finally have some clean clothes and I have an easy so Friday, so why not rock the boots?" But I was cursing myself as I was running past the bookstore and really starting to feel my workout from last night with Lis. I was sure not to slip on any black ice like Lia did last night. Sadly, I did not witness this, but I heard it was quite entertaining. Anyway, I'm really glad it's Friday and I'm taking a nap as soon as I get home from class. Oh sheesh, just remembered I forgot to bring a snack because I won't eat lunch until 2. Oh well. Someone is eating pizza right by me at the Student Center and it's making me really hungry. I JUST FOUND FRUIT SNACKS IN MY BACKPACK! Also, I could go buy food at the Mizzou Market, like 15 yards away, but we'll see.
Anyway, yesterday I only had two classes, and despite a little bit of craziness in the laundry room, it was pretty good day. I went downtown to Kaldi's with my friend Sarah and we just studied and drank coffee and looked like serious college students. Then I did this class called Hip Hop with Rose and Lisa (Lisa, Lis=Lia. Maybe I shouldn't have told you that so it seems like I just have a lot of friends) and it was a really good class. Then Lis and I did Ballet Fit, but we were kind of over it because it was crowded and we were hungry. After class, we got pizza to go for dinner and it was really good. Until I spilled Dr. Pepper all over it. Not going to lie, I was really hungry and ate it anyway and it was fine. Then I had three loads of laundry to do and I don't think any of the washers spun out because my clothes were sopping and people just left their clothes in the dryer all night (#rude), so I had to wait for a dryer for 30 minutes and my clothes were still wet and I dried them twice. But I have all clean clothes now, so I'm a happy camper. Then I skyped Ryan and he showed me his physics homework and it gave me a headache. So that's a little recap of yesterday since I didn't blog. Well I should do some homework before Bio.
Happy Friday!

Meeeh
I can't think of any good theme for this blog, so I'm going to take this in a different direction tonight and being totally random. That's a joke, this blog is always random. Anyway, here's what I've been up to/what's been on my mind today:
9 am- Brit Lit. Made a new friend. Yay Me.
10 am-Waste time at the Student Center while waiting to go to bio.
10:20 am- Ate a muffin that was waaay too chocolately for breakfast. But I got over it.
11 am- Bio. Blah blah blah.
12 pm- Lunch. Researched a potential minor. (More to come)
1 pm- Econ. It was a Journalism day. Rock on.
2-3:50 pm: Bio lab. Nothing induces more panic in me than a histogram and measuring seashells. Ask Lia, I was getting pretty stressed about graphing. I did not sign up to do graphs, thank you very much. I have a history of doing the whole graph and then realizing I did it wrong. Thank God Lis is in my class otherwise everyone would judge me for my lack of math skills. Anyway, it was extremely long and torturous.
4-5 pm-Gilmore Girls
5- Dinner
5:30-8:45- Work
8:55-Read the following texts from my mom: 1. hi i got a new phone. 2. did you get my message. 3. maybe you're sleeping or at zumba. 4 did you eat dinner? 5. where are you? 6. are you at work?
9- Kicked butt on the Elliptical
The rest is not all that interesting. Well, really none of it was very interesting either, but I have a fan base so I have to blog and give the people what they want.
Anyway, I'm trying to change my major, but it's a lot harder than I thought. My intense dislike of math/science/politics/economics/business/blah blah is really limiting.
Three reasons why I'm saying "UGH" in my head right now:
1. I need to rinse this bowl on my desk but I don't feel like it.
2. Ryan is in STL. I'm in Como.
3. These leggings are too thin and make me look fat. I need to do laundry asap.
Anywayz, I'm really happy because I don't have class until 11 tomorrow. YAYYAAYAYAYAY. Sorry, too much. Too lazy to go back and censor my excitement.
Night friends,
Carrie

CTFO
I am considering writing another note to myself. Here's my draft:
Dear Caroline,
CTFO.
Thanks.
I don't know what has gotten into me lately, but I have been hyper organized, which has made me hyper anxious. I figure out my clothes the night before, pack my backpack, clean my desk multiple times a day, write my homework all over the place so I don't forget. I write down all important days in my planner, in my iTouch and on my Ical. I write all my shifts everywhere. (They are the same all semester, like I could forget them.) I thought being so organized for this semester and planning everything in advance would make this a smooth semester. But I hate it. I hate everything being so planned out and scheduled all the time. I think I've overwhelmed myself with all the constant planning. And when I have free time, I feel like I need to organize a binder, work out, rearrange my food. I have myself so stressed out about things that haven't happened yet, and then I just crash and burn and get really cranky and do things like break out into a really dorky fast run at the Rec and sass off to my friends. I really need to take one day, actually, just one hour at a time. Lists do help me a lot, but I really need to take a chill pill because I'm eventually going to run out of hello kitty paper and a "To Do" list on plain paper is just not as exciting. So I finished all my homework and now I'm watching Legally Blonde and resisting the urge to read anymore econ and look up other potential minors because for about two hours tonight I was going to switch from an english minor to a nutrition and fitness minor so I could write for a health magazine, OR work for a Rec center if I can't find a job right away after graduation, but then I nixed that idea because then I'd have to take chem and that would be a disaster. One hour at a time. I'm working on it.
God, Legally Blonde is such a great movie.
ok. keep calm. watch chelsea lately. carry on.
love,
carenpants
p.s. 2.5 weeks until Ryan visits!

Note to self
Earlier this evening, I was trying to find anything to do but econ, and I discovered a note to myself. My first thought was, when did I get little boy handwriting? But I read on, curious to see what I had written to myself. The note reads as follows:
"I love Lia oh so much! I wish I could be her. (originally I wrote here, but then realized my mistake and crossed it out, silly me) I love her red hair and like everything about her. I should def try to be more like her. Also in bio lab I should do all her work for her because she's so great and she obvi doesn't have time for that. ok g2g to write a blog about her byes! <3 carriepants"
What a great note to myself. Although, I probs shouldn't be blogging about this because then Lia will see it because she's obsessed with me and reads my blog religiously. (the only thing she does religiously. JK. sort of.) But anywayz, I was very entertained to find this note to myself. I really love notes. I write myself notes all the time. I like to write other people notes. I like when people write me notes. I like to write myself notes in my stocking to find the next year at Christmas. Sometimes, I send Dwight faxes from himself. From the future.
Well, it's been an extremely long day, you're lucky I'm sparring you the details, so I'm going to pick out an outfit for tomorrow and head to bed soon.
Sooo I mean just write me a note because it's almost easier to do it than to not do it.
love,
carenpants

Lazy Saturday
I didn't get out of bed today until 1 pm. It. was. awesome. It was so nice not to have a single thing planned today. I definitely needed a day off work. I finally did get out of bed and had some mini muffins for breakfast. I tried to go to lunch and shower multiple times, but Sex and the City was on like all day and I'm now addicted. I finally started on my econ homework and spent the better part of the afternoon/evening doing that. Unfortunately, a lot of things interest me more than econ, so it's takes me a really long to finish it. I have it every day and we already covered three chapters this week, so I will pretty much be spending most of the semester doing econ. I also redid my bulletin board tonight and organized all my food, sheets, towels and miscellaneous things. I'm such a cool college kid. Although I did go to bed at 4 last night (this morning?) so that's something college like.
Now, a word about my wardrobe. Last night I tried to find something to wear and ended up trashing my room. You know, for someone who loves clothes, I really don't. I have a lot of clothes, but I have a lot of really similar pieces. Like jeans have some variation (skinny, dark wash, flare, etc), but I have SO many black tops. I have at least three black tank tops in Como right now. Plus a short sleeved v-neck, a long sleeve plain black top, an off the shoulder black top. And I can't even count how many black sweaters and t-shirts. I also have a problem with purple and navy blue. Anyway, by the time I went out (midnight) I had piles of clothes on the floor that I deemed unwearable. You should have heard the conversations with myself. Can you really wear boots with a tank top? What are you 37? Is it acceptable to wear rain boots to a frat party? I need some nutella. You look like a total mom. Ok, preggo. OVER IT. Anyway, I would really like it to be summer all year round so I could just wear a swim suit and a cover up all the time. P.s. Ryan thinks he's going to be tanner than me this summer. I'm soooo worried.
So now my finger is bleeding because I got cardboard box cut. It's stinging a lot and looks gross.

Happy Squirrel Appreciation Day, everyone
I was just on twitter and I saw a story tweeted by the Huffingtton Post about Squirrel Appreciation Day. I thought I would dedicate this blog to how much I do not appreciate squirrels, or anything similar to squirrels. It all started when my mom was 12. She was swimming in her backyard and a squirrel jumped on her head. Needless to say, she was scarred for life. Obvi. Since then, those little bitches have followed her around and harassed her. And not just squirrels, but birds and mice too. A bird once went to the bathroom on her head. And my mom's a pretty cute lady, so I don't know why things always mess with her head. Anyway, she has also seen a lot of mice. And she has passed this awful bad luck onto me, her favorite child. It all started for me one night when I was babysitting a screaming baby. He just cried and cried all night. When I finally got him to bed, I turned on a movie downstairs, still on edge from my stressful night. I was finally beginning to relax and watch some weirdo movie about these old people and a pool and cocoon when I met Hector. Hector is a mouse that has been following me since I was 15. I saw Hector run across their kitchen. I stayed frozen on the couch for the next 15 minutes. Then that little *&#@!% had the nerve to run right under my feet. I stood on their (very nice) couch and screamed. The dog just looked at me and obvi thought I was acting a fool. I called my dad and he came over and sat with me until the family got home. The next day I woke up and it took me a long time to get out of bed, because naturally I assumed the mouse was in my house too, just waiting to scare me as I got out of bed. I finally made my way downstairs to my dining room table and started in on some homework. I was there about an hour when I heard a weird scratching noise coming from the fireplace. I tried to ignore it, I really did. But I was getting really freaked out, so my brother came with me, and we investigated. I won't make you wait any longer to find out what happened next. There was a squirrel in our fireplace that was trying to escape into our living room. At this point, I needed some heavy drugs to calm my nerves, so Mikey got a bunch of boxes and stacked them in front of the fireplace so it couldn't escape. Long story short we had to call someone to take care of it. And I stood on a chair for the next 48 hours.
Back to Hector. Last year, I was sitting on the floor in my family room minding my own business (actually talking to Ryan, funny) when a mouse ran right next to my hand. I screamed and jumped on the couch. My dad and brother searched, but couldn't find anything. I went and sat on a stool in my kitchen because I needed to be as high off the ground as I could. Then, hector ran through the kitchen. I screamed for my dad, but it was too late, Hector had already gone into hiding. Hector and I didn't meet again until August. We were on vacation and my brother and I stayed up late watching a ghost show. We were both pretty freaked and heard the air kicking on, but Mikey was convinced it was a ghost, so he went to go make sure the front door was locked. On his way, he saw a mouse in the kitchen. I could not believe my effing ears. I leapt from the couch to the stairs, up to my room and got on my bed so it wouldn't find me. I tiptoed around the house for the next day. We weren't allowed to tell my mom because she would be too freaked. Luckily, we were staying in a different cottage the next week, so we moved our stuff into our new cottage. I was so relieved to be mouse free. We still had the old cottage for a night, so my dad stayed there for the night and finished packing. I was doing my nails in the kitchen at the new cottage when a mouse ran under my chair. I am not making this up. I nearly had a heart attack. Mikey had to carry me to our room. We put towels under our door to keep Hector out. I also had to pay him $5 to go get my retainer from the kitchen. Again, we were allowed to tell our mom, but she got suspicious about the towel, so I finally told her. It took days for us to catch Hector and I was an uptight mess. I was never so happy to get home. I thought my Hector sightings were over. But I was wrong. I was doing laundry at Hudson and sitting in the kitchen waiting for my stuff to dry. I was chatting with a fellow H2Flo member, when I saw a mouse across the room. I didn't do laundry for three weeks (I have a lot of clothes, luckily). I haven't seen Hector since, but when we do meet again, I will not be ready and scream my head off.

I could not believe my effing ears. I leapt from the couch to the stairs, up to my room and got on my bed so it wouldn't find me. I tiptoed around the house for the next day. We weren't allowed to tell my mom because she would be too freaked. Luckily, we were staying in a different cottage the next week, so we moved our stuff into our new cottage. I was so relieved to be mouse free. We still had the old cottage for a night, so my dad stayed there for the night and finished packing. I was doing my nails in the kitchen at the new cottage when a mouse ran under my chair. I am not making this up. I nearly had a heart attack. Mikey had to carry me to our room. We put towels under our door to keep Hector out. I also had to pay him $5 to go get my retainer from the kitchen. Again, we were allowed to tell our mom, but she got suspicious about the towel, so I finally told her. It took days for us to catch Hector and I was an uptight mess. I was never so happy to get home. I thought my Hector sightings were over. But I was wrong. I was doing laundry at Hudson and sitting in the kitchen waiting for my stuff to dry. I was chatting with a fellow H2Flo member, when I saw a mouse across the room. I didn't do laundry for three weeks (I have a lot of clothes, luckily). I haven't seen Hector since, but when we do meet again, I will not be ready and scream my head off.

Hungry Thursdays
Well Columbia had a huge blizzard and none of my classes were cancelled, but it's fine. I'm actually done for the day now and have no plans to leave my dorm. Well except for pizza to-go for hungry Thursdays with girls, but I don't have to go outside for that, thank goodness. Anyway, the dining hall in my dorm has the best pizza in the world after 8 pm (ok, actually breadsticks, but whatever) and I could eat them every night. But I don't because I really hate working out. Speaking of working out, last night Lis and I tried a class at the Rec called ballet fit and we are SUPER sore, but proud of ourselves for getting such a good workout. I really liked the class because I used to be a dancer and like to relive my glory days. Although, I wasn't that good. I just liked the costumes. The only thing I didn't like about the class was that they made us do the plank TWICE at the end of class for 30 seconds. It got to be a little too painful, and luckily Lis and I were in the back, so we just talked about how tan I look. I'm using Jergens Natural Glow lotion. I used to use Hemp lotion (which was a bronzer plus a firming lotion) but it made me break out and super itchy, which is super weird because I used it for a year and it was totally fine. I swear, the water here is so weird. It turns my hair green, which for a blonde, is just a disaster. Oh my god, I just looked at the TV schedule online and Arthur is on at 3! I haven't seen that show in so long. An oldie, but a goodie. I really apologize to my three followers for the total randomness/lack of structure of this blog. I like to think of it as stream of conscious writing (that means writing your thoughts as they come to you, for those non-journalism majors out there). OH, I got coffee this morning because I had to hike across campus, so I used my own cup at Starbucks and got 15 cents off, which is exciting because I thought it was 10 cents. So sore. Should I go work out? Meeeh I can't decide. I'm in a really good mood today, despite all the snow. Ryan and I planned a weekend for him to come visit last night, so I'm excited for that!
Ok, time to clean up and order warm clothes!
peace ya'll,

GSR
I'm currently sitting in the GSR (also known as the Girls' Study Room in my kick ass dorm) with Rose, my roomie, and Ben my friend from down the hall who shares a love of robes with me. I'm trying to rewrite my Econ notes from earlier today (What happened to syllabus week?) but it's so boring and i just want to play Tetris. I took a two hour nap earlier when I meant to go to the Rec. But I slept like a baby and it was fabulous. I eventually did go to the Rec and did the stairs. Then I watched Teen Mom and then went to my friends' room for a movie night. I'm trying to ease back into this semester. I think I stressed myself out a little by filling out all my calendars from now until the end of the year. I got really overwhelmed with work and school, so I'm trying to take a chill pill. Lia and I realized earlier we are in the same bio lab and we can be lab partners! Thank goodness because I was so not excited for that lab. We took a lab science senior year and we never did the labs right. It was an AP class with only two other students (one of them being Rose and the other a junior), so we just ate a lot of puppy chow and pretended to know what was going on. Def one of my favorite classes.
Anyway, tomorrow shouldn't be too bad. Class at 9, 11, 1 and work at 5:30. I'm SO excited to not work on Thursday and only have two classes. It's supposed to be two degrees on Thursday and I have class in a building that is literally on the opposite end of campus, so we'll see if I make it. Meeeh I'm hungry and should get to bed.
laterz,

Back to Reality
I got back to school last night and so far I've unpacked, organized my closet, labeled all my binders, put my work and class schedule into my Itouch, iCal and day planner and went to a work meeting. Can I go back on break now? I'm about to go work out, but Knocked Up is on. I've seen this movie so many times, but I have to see the end before I go. It's so weird to be at school but not have anything to do. P.S. Being pregnant and giving birth grosses me out, but I can't stop watching this movie, or 16 and Pregnant or Teen Mom. And thinking about all the gloriously trashy TV on MTV just reminded me there is a special episode of Jersey Shore on tonight. I have a feeling my school work is going to get in the way of my shows. Oh my god, the doctor just gave Katherine Heigel an IV and I might pass out. I accidentally left my Ipod at school over break, so I justified not working out because I need to have it to work out, so now there is really no excuse for me not to go. Meeeh I need to get into a routine, but I just feel so lazy. All I want to do is watch How I Met Your Mother and drink some QT coffee with my faves at home. I'll probably watch it tonight and maybe catch up on Pretty Little Liars. Oh and Jersey Shore. I really don't watch that much TV. Let's see if I can get myself in bed at a reasonable hour tonight because 6:50 am is going to come too soon. All right, time to make my way to the Rec.

Ok, seriously I have a problem. I get so hungry at 10:30 every single night. Not just like oh, I'll snack on some grapes hungry, like I'm starving and have to eat now hungry. Thank god I don't have a car at school, or else this bad habit would continue. Pretty soon I'll be back to grilled cheese and salad every day. I'm starting to pack up all my stuff and it's making me sad. It's so weird to pack to leave one home to go to the next home. So not looking forward to getting back to school and homework. At least I am finished with my torturous 8 am Poli Sci class. Oh my goodness, talk about wanting to skip class. I did look up the fitness class schedule online and they are offering ballet this semester! I normally dislike overusing exclamation points, but this is a totally ok situation! (Sorry Lia, I know this is annoying you.) I took ballet for a long time when I was little and I think I will actually like this class. I can go to it before my first class on Tuesday. I'm planning on waking up around the same time every day and getting into a semi normal sleeping pattern. But we'll see how that goes. I will miss sleeping in, but before I know it, it will be spring break and I'll be home again. And then summer. My favorite thing about sleeping in is waking up slowly. I like to stay in bed for a bit after I wake up. That's why I always set my alarm for half an hour before I need to get up, so I can try and trick myself into waking up slowly, which never works because I fall back asleep right away and accidentally turn off my alarm. Last night I was having nightmares and trying to scream in my dreams, but couldn't. I didn't sleep very well the rest of the night, or this morning because I had to work, so I'm super ready to put on the warmest and comfiest PJs ever and crawl into bed.
Sweet dreams,
caremic
p.s. sorry for the lack of structure/flow/organization (purpose?) in this blog. (I'll probs right something similar to this every post, but continue to do it because this is so fun!)
p.p.s it's 12:34, my favorite time. :)

Snow My Goodness
So in the past two days a few things have happened:
I haven't blogged.
STL had a blizzard.
I got some new sweatpants.
I've slept an inordinate amount.
I've been on break so long that I'm losing track of the days. It's been really nice at home. I love being able to drive places and run errands. Although I spend a lot more money at home than while I'm at school. I have a Target addiction. I love the dollar section (have I mentioned this before?) and just wander around. It's like therapy, really. Anyway, they already have swimsuits out and it made me really want summer. I have a swimsuit fetish, but stopped myself from buying this super adorable olive swimsuit. I will wait a few months. I am on the hunt for a 2011 planner. I don't really like my school planner because the lines aren't big enough and I need more space for each day. I'm such a fan of post-its, highlighters, calendars, notepads and anything organizational. My mom got a "GTG" notepad for Christmas. It's super cute and I might steal it.
One of my friends from school just texted me to say he saw an Audrey Hepburn Calendar and thought of me, which made me miss all my Audrey stuff in my dorm. I have two posters and three movies. I like my room at school a lot. My roomie (my BFF Rose from high school) and I did a black and white theme with a pink accent. It's so classy and fabulous. I've been redoing my room at home and it's so weird that half of my stuff is still in Como (Columbia, Missouri). I'm a little nervous about going back. I really like being home and I think it'll suck to have to get readjusted again, plus I really don't want to go back to classwork.
My mom and I are starting a workout plan on Monday. We're writing out our plans for how to be healthy and get in shape. This is what we have so far:
Yeah, a lot of blank space. We are so not into working out. We used to be really good about it and go together all the time when I was in high school, but then I got a job and had newspaper, and she's always busy and gets up so early for work, so we stopped. But we're going to start slow and ease our way into. Sorry for the total randomness of this entry, but I have a feeling a lot of my entries will be like this. I really like blogging though, and I'm surprised at how much I can write. I have to work tomorrow from 9:30-3:30 and I'm SO not excited. QT coffee anyone? Then a new episode of Jersey Shore is on at 9. My boyfriend is a big fan, so he's going to come over and we're going to dress up. We like to dress up, and yes, we are the coolest couple of the year.
Time for me to go figure out my plans and outfit for tonight.
Oh wait, just kidding. Sex and the City is on E! and I'm going to watch with my mom. Love the clothes, Charlotte is my fave.
Time to end this rambling novel.
Bissous,

Oh my goodness, I love Christmas break! Aside from working, I've been taking it easy, de-cluttering my life, catching up with friends and family, shopping, not working out, watching "How I Met Your Mother" (love this show so much, Marshall and Lilly are my faves!) and spending time with my boyfriend. I didn't realize how much stuff I had until I went to college and lived without half of it for five months! I found a lot of great stuff for organizing at Target. They had really cute storage bins for $2.50. I also rearranged my closet and I must say, it looks fabulous! It feels so good to be almost clutter free.
I worked Wednesday-Sunday and it was super busy and hectic, so I'm really excited to be off tomorrow. I'm going to sleep in, shop doing some more organizing, plan to work out and then not do it and go to a hockey game with my boyfriend. I have no Blues attire, eek! Anyway, I can't believe my break is over, I know this week is going to fly by!
I'm so sick of the cold. I got home from work and changed into comfy and cozy clothes, rocked a headband and fell asleep. I can't wait to take a warm bath and chill out for the rest of the night. My skin is so dry and pale. All these bronzing lotions are making my skin break out like crazy. Vaca anyone? I am dying for my summer wardrobe and the sun. Before I go watch gloriously trashy reality TV with my mom, I'll leave you with my top five current obsessions:
1. Coffee from Quick Trip-so cheap and good!
2. Tetris-AH! I think I have a problem. (I like to tell myself it's good for my brain. HA).
3. My fake crocheted grey Uggs- so warm and comfy!
4. Blogging-This is so fun, even if no one is reading it!
5. My new closet-so organized!
Pax out,
caremic
p.s. one month until my half birthday!

First Post
I'm new to blogging and I'm excited to share my random thoughts! I'm studying journalism, so I like to write. I really like reading, fashion, beauty, friends, family, music and movies, so a lot of posts will probably be related to my interests. I am super exhausted and heading to bed, so my first real post will have to wait until tomorrow!
