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!!

Oh Christmas tree!

How much would I LOVE to have this Christmas tree?!

It's only $400

{I do have a mini version}

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.

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!

on my nails now...

A very lovely shade of (Duke) blue

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.}
