Christmas at my apartment

My little tree that almost fell over when I put the star on top!

The old school big lights I put outside on the deck along with 'Rosie' the snowman.

The giant ornaments tied to the chandelier.

My pink shiny tree! LOVE it!!

Little stuff animals and my Duke snowman.

Hello there snow!

This was about all of the snow we got
but it was pretty.

Here's hoping...

for some SNOW today!!
We get excited and freaked out by snow here in NC.
Schools have already annouced they are closing early...
And there is nothing happening right now.
I heart North Carolina.

The cutest thing you'll see all day

Seriously, try not to smile when you watch this. Tim and Jane are just too stinkin' cute!!

Another December baby

Today is my friend Alex's birthday!
{two back to back!}

And here are 5 reasons I heart Alex:

1. Alex and I have almost the exact same sense of humor. We find really silly, ridiculous things very funny. Like posing beside the TMI Realty sign in Vegas or all things SNL {especially Kristin Wiig} or anything Britney or Whitney related.
2. Alex literally knows ALL of the words to every song on the radio. I've never seen him stumped. I try to tell people about this but you have to see it to believe it. It's amazing. My favorite ones that he knows are the 90's techno jams. One of the funniest things ever.

3. When Alex goes into, what Mia calls, "A Right Now Situation" mode. He gets so focused and determined to do whatever it is and will not stop until it's done.
4. Alex is always "Photo ready". You can never really catch him off guard and take a bad picture of him. See evidence above and below. Such a good model!

5. Alex is one of the most fun, kindest and best people I know. I am very lucky to have him as a friend!

{6. Alex is also a Duke grad who has camped out for basketball tickets so that also makes him super awesome!}


Happy Birthday Alex!!
From NC to NY, I miss you buddy!

Two very important things

1. The Glee finale tonight!! Oh. My. Goodness. I was DYING (Rachel Zoe style) over the ending!!

2. Dark Chocolate Peppermint at Cold Stone Creamery. Amazing. I took advantage of this random warm day and had a cup of this little gem of a flavor with graham crackers and marshmallows. It was like a delicious minty s'mores. I would highly recommend it!!

Aemart, Anwar, Supercenter.

Today is my friend Aemart's birthday and here are
Five reasons I heart Aemart:
1. He is one of the most fun people you will ever meet.
You can't not have fun when he's around.
{He also has a magical ability to get anyone to drink a whole lot}

2. He's a Duke fan!

3. He can rock some ripped up jeans like no one else.



4. He has great hair, a great laugh and some of the all time best nicknames.
{I know that's 3 in 1 but they're all very true}

5. He is one of the sweetest and best friends anyone could ever hope to have.
I miss you very much! All the way from NC to Cali!
Happy Birthday Aemart!!!

On Courtney's nails now...




This is Courtney's description of 'Dear Santa' by OPI:

"Dear Santa" is a ruby red delight. This unashamedly crimson shade declares the wearer to be bold, fun, and most of all, festive. Purchasing this polish puts the glitzy gal on the fast track to the North Pole, where she will always be on Santa's good list.

She wrote that in like 2 minutes on GChat.

She is good.

ice skating girrrrl

I swear this song was ALWAYS on the holiday music CD when I worked at Gap. I've probably heard this thousands of times. It makes me grateful not to be working in retail anymore. Oh, the memories!

the good and the not so good

little letters...
dear pee wee herman,
watching your christmas special this morning made me so happy! and reminded me of being a kid.

dear crazy,
if somone is ignoring your texts, myspace messages and facebook friend request, that probably means that they DO NOT want to talk to you and you should stop trying to contact them.

xoxo
{p.s. you should really watch the pee wee herman christmas special- it's amazing.}

things making me happy

1. the return of duke basketball. oh, how i love it!
2. Free Chick-Fil-A!! My apartment complex gave away free chik-fil-a chicken biscuits this morning. Score.

3. Games on msn.com- I wish I had found these earlier. They have so many free ones to choose from. My favorites are Jigsaw, Bejeweled and Bubble Town. Good times.

ghoulish good times

halloween 09...
good things from this halloween weekend






1. having miss courtney as my house (apartment) guest for the weekend! staying up late watching 'the amityville horror' and debating over how much James Brolin looks like Christian Bale. i was pro, she was con.

2. breakfast at the flying biscuit with court, emily and brooke. it was so yummy! i got full way too fast couldn't eat much but i can't wait to go back

3. driving all over searching for the perfect pieces for our costume. reminder for next year: try drugstores first, they are much cheaper than halloween stores and had lots of good things.

4. walking around ulta smelling tons of perfumes while we waited for our to-go from chili's and court's reaction of "no, no, no, no... never. never. never. no." when she smelled a perfume she really didn't like.

5. getting dressed up as 'sexy gandolf' and 'sexy darth vader', glittering my mask, putting on the super, super long glitter fishnets, cutting up court's dress- which almost ended up being very short- i got a little carried away. there are still bits and pieces of costume scattered all around my apartment.

6. seeing all of the great costumes at the party. i always love to see what people think up.

Halloween last year...


Halloween 08 was definitely one of my favorite ever. There were 3 costumes- the one in the picture of the faux all percusion girl band "The Squad", Rainbow Brite and Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl.
This year there will only be one costume but I'm sure it will be just as good! Especially if Court and I manage to pull off our crazy costume idea

Fair photos







This post is a bit late but I wanted to post some of my pictures from the state fair. I haven't been in years! My Mom and I got there when it opened so we were able to walk around and see the rides with no people on them. It was so much fun and such a perfect, cool fall day.

GLEE!!



Glee is my (and everyone else's) new favorite show! It's funny, weird and charming and there's lots and lots of singing! Watch it Wednesday 9 o'clock on Fox.

Helpful tips from Whitney

"Whitney was funny as she tried to explain to Oprah her exact drug use with Bobby. "We weren't doing pipe- smoking. You put it in your marijuana, Oprah. You lace it, you roll it up in your weed. It's like heroin, cocaine speed-balling, but you level it off with marijuana."

Thanks Whitney.
