Final Friday Favorites of 2012

Tis Friday at last....although I haven't much about which to complain; it's been a fairly smooth week without conventional work. Just busy busy busy with the holidays and shoveling. I honestly love shoveling. It's a great workout and for somre reason, I just like doing it.....strange.
It's the last Friday of 2012 [as indicated by the post title] and only a few days until the new year....what will you be doing for New Year's Eve?? How 'bout watching the movie? Fun movie, along with Valentine's Day [even though I don't celebrate that terribly commercialized holiday but enough on that].

Hmmm...perhaps it should be the favorites of the year:

• Going to the beach with Lovely

• My sissy being with me all the way

Xmas 2012 Photo by Mummy

• Lady A, Darius Rucker, and Thompson Square concert!

• Being accepted into the Kingston University in London for study abroad

• Beautiful Tiffany's ring from my Nana

• Alumni band

• All-American Rejects and A Rocket to the Moon concert

 

 

• Valleyfest!

• Discovering Tard the grumpy cat

• Not to appear self-centered, but my birthday makes the list despite the raging storm on that day. Being surrounded by friends, what could be a better way of spending the day indoors?

• Horseback riding tour in Gettysburg

• Riding a camel at the Philly Zoo

• NeverShoutNever concert

• The other concerts with Lovely...Warped Tour in Buffalo, The Band Perry, Hot Chelle Rae

• Winter Formal 2012: An International Affair

• Halloween time spent with Lovely

I felt so modern with my outfit yesterday....Mia2 boots [gift from Nana for 19th bday], PacSun tights [gift from Lovely], H&M skirt, Express sweater [gift from Sissy], handmade bracelet [gift from Mum], Tiffany's ring [gift from Nana], and Chewie hat [gift from Lovely].

Tonight my bestie and I are totally geeking out by having a sleepover, exchanging prezzies, and having a LOTR trilogy marathon! Woot woot! Let the nostalgia begin with the Heidi and Jill sleepover traditions :)

I believe one is never too old for sleepovers with one's bestie.

Now...debating on whether or not I should get out of bed yet....

Xmas Friday Favorites

This post has been in the works for a while...finally home for a little while and glad, too. Hmm I'm missing sleep, though.

• Dragonite!

Oh yeah....Xmas...

• Prezzies all wrapped

• ONLINE SALES

Here are some of my favs: Charlotte Russe, American Eagle, Forever21, and Gap

• New PostSecrets
• Winter = wrestling season

My team! I miss it...sometimes, I really do. It was tough, but...not sure how exactly to explain it. Wrestling was worth it. It pushed me.

• boots and booties and booty [just kidding about the last]

• Festive nails

• Hats

Happy holidays, lovely readers!

Here is a kitty you can enjoy:

Onto the highway and through some towns, to Nana's house we go....tomorrow.

Naturally, I'm not packed yet. I love traveling but packing is not high on my enjoyment list. I know what I'm packing...just a matter of doing so.

It came upon a midnight clear

I absolutely love this version...her voice...wow.

Hello, hello! No, I'm not buried in the backyard...goodness, it's been over a week. I'm sorry it's been so long! I had every intention of doing a finals' week favorites...eh that seems rather much like an oxymoron. But Mummy sent goodies for finals!! Fat chex and hot chocolate mix nom nom nom

I made it home Saturday afternoon and saw Lovely for a short time while we ate buffalo chicken dip with a TON of hot sauce, just the way I like it...then he had to go to work :/  on the brightside, I went to my Grammie's house and visited with her and my Sissy :)

Hmmm I do have some outfit pics somewhere...."somewhere" being wherever my camera is....

I do have a few rather lovely pics to share on my phone, though.

I'm off to snuggle in bed with Yoda, Chewie, and my stuffed cat and hippo. It's always a party of stuffed friends in my bed when I'm home. Curling up to Anna Karinina on my Kindle....

 

 

It's the final countdown

First day of finals. 1 paper and 4 finals.  First one this morning at 10.

To all my fellow college students, good luck on the final stretch before break!

Le' go.

December Friday Favorites

• Classes are finally done for the semester!

• Braids that double as a headband....new hair trick
• Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo....I like the character portrayals better in the American version but the story itself is much better in the Swedish.

• Lo-carb Monster

• Dreidels [no, I'm not Jewish]

• 6pm.com
• Five Guys burger joint

NOT a December Favorite

• Hideous Xmas jumpers [as the English would say]

Have a lovely ugly sweater day.

My friends are wearing them tonight to dinner......I'll proudly be seen with them.

THAT is friendship hahaha

Uncle Joey from Fullhouse is going to be performing at our campus tonight! Woot woot! Happy start of the weekend!

Mean Girls

"On Wednesdays we wear pink."

On Wednesdays I don't wear pants. I wear a skirt or dress. Creating special days for the average week gives you something to which to look forward :)

Have a beautiful hump day and enjoy this beautifully unseasonal weather whilst it lasts!

Cozy Sunday

What better way to relax on Sunday than listening to Nora Jones belt out some Xmas tunes and sip some hot chocolate?

Best instant hot chocolate? Put a little bit more water than normal (milk is even better) in a large mug and use double packages of hot chocolate mix. Delish. College hot chocolate 101.

Sassy Saturday

More like sleeeepy Saturday. I was still productive, however.

Formal was great!

The theme was international affairs, perfect for an international business major ;) Lovely and I had a retro look...bowties are awesome alternatives to long ties! Don't forget the ruby lips and pinning your hair to the side ;) complete with red nails.
