where to start...

my goals for winter break:
1. organize the computer room and unpack boxes and repack boxes of stuff I dont need.
2. catch up on Dexter, Pretty Little Liars, and Gossip Girl
3. scrapbook at least one page.
4. sleep in!!!
5. go to the gym, at least 4 days a week.

other thoughts:
Im currently watching a Baby Story on TLC and this couple already has two sets of twins, all boys. And now she is prego with another set of twins, 1 boy/1girl. I'd looooove to have twins! its like killing two birds with one stone!!

The only reasons i am posting this is because my friend 'Becky' wanted me to read her blog and it encouraged me to update mine. anddddd im trying to procrastinate writing a 6 page paper due on monday. blah...

I'd like to fast foward the next two weeks of finals, that'd be nice. But im still pissed that 'winter break' is only two weeks now instead of the original four. Thanks ASU.

I'm really stressing out about what I am going to do after college. I have not really applied for many job or internships, mostly because i dont have time and im too lazy because it is a lot of work.
Why dont we go ahead and add that as #6 to the winter to do list!

i miss having the time to cook, and people to cook for. it doesnt help that pretty much everything i own is in a box somewhere.

I think thats enough thoughts for today. I'll try to be back tomorrow, that is if anything exciting happens within the next 24 hours of my life.

ohhh...

AND ONE MORE THING...HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN!!!

MY 21ST FREAKING BIRTHDAY IS IN 39 DAYS! OMG AM I EXCITED!!!!!!

wowzers.

I haven't posted on here in forever. And by the looks of it, neither have any of my friends. LOL.

That being said:

1. I'm ready to go back to school next week and just get the last two semesters OVER WITH.

2. I'm reallllly sick of not having my own house.

3. I'd like to have enough money to visit all of these states within the next two years: Oregon, Washington, Washington DC, New York, Florida, Colorado, South Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, Maine, Rhode Island, etc.

4. I'd like to have enough money to visit every beautiful country outside of the US within the next ten years.

5. I'm having major baby fever because every friend i know has such freaking adorable children, now I've gotta have my own.

6. I can't wait to get married.

7. THEE END. until next time :)

[probably a year from now]

Best Christmas present ever!

So for my birthday my mom bought me a crockpot. For Christmas she bought be the fix-it and forget-it slowcooker recipe book! Aaaaamazing. theres sooo many recipes i had no idea where to start. But on Wednesday i decided to start with Herbed Beef Stew! mmmm it was sooo good! thanks mom! Cant wait to keep cooking all this delish stuff!!

date night

This year, we spent quite a bit of money at Ashley furniture and for our christmas present from them they sent us two movie tickets to Farrelli's cinema supper club in scottsdale. We've never heard of it but i checked out their website and it looked pretty awesome! you sit at a table in these really comfy chairs and eat your dinner while you watch the movie. We saw Due Date and Shannon had a buffalo chicken wrap and I had chicken with mushrooms and artichoke hearts with a side of vegetables. It was kind of expensive but I think the experience was totally worth it and the date was much needed <3
