I know it’s been like a year since I’ve updated this thing. School has just been rediculous, but the semester is FINALLY almost over. Plus, Todd has helped me set up this pretty lil website and that’s taken a while for me to get around to setting it all up. This is going to be my main blog, so if you’re wondering which of my many places to check from now on, this would be the one.


Now to a few pictures..

Jessica and I went to Memphis for a couple days around Thanksgiving.

First night..

The next day was seriously exhausting. We spent the afternoon hours hopping around to as many thrift stores as possible with a pit stop at The Cupboard.

My little castle in the ghetto over near Graceland.

Yeah.. I really doubt this claim to fame..

After a lovely dinner with my dad we wound up at the insanely packed Glass show.

Robin + Me + Sparks

The next day was Thanksgiving and we helped my stepdad prepare his famous orange rolls. Since my mom & him just moved into their new house a week before, we spend dinner at a family friends house.

After dinner we met up with Kerri, Brandy, & Joel and I saw Walk The Line for the second time.
Although I am only a little lavendar blur in the background for like 2 seconds, it was really cool to see all these scenes that I was there for.

I have so many more pictures to post and already a couple more trips to go on before this month is up. Hopefully with school being out soon I will actually be able to stay on top of things. Till then…

Todd, Jessica, and I drove the 4 hours up to Kansas City on Friday to meet up with friends and have some out of town fun. That night we saw Lucero, Decibully, & Blackpool Lights (the old singer of the Get Up Kids’ new band). Although the show was great, the venue was pathetic. If you wanted to drink, you had to stand in the back – in a CAGE. Then on top of that, the “bar” menu consisted of a piece of cardboard with PBR and about 3 other drinks scribbled on it. Then, of course, the “bar” ran out of drinks. So before the end of the night, the cardboard had lines drawn through just about everything. After the show we were all starrrving, so we ended up eating breakfast at 1 am. Once safe & sound back at Seth’s loft we slept till almost noon the next day.

Although it looks like a picture of a Suicide Girls flyer.. I really meant to catch the flyer underneath, which I first thought was for a metal band called:

The next day a bunch of us met up at a breezy lil pizza joint that had THE biggest slices of pizza I think I’ve ever seen. We ate every single one of them too.

From there it was on to the first casino that I’ve been to since I won enough money to buy this little iBook that I love so much. The only big winner this time was Aaron who hit the jackpot when he won 10 bucks on the penny slots. I only lost 15 dollars, but still managed to have about 2 hours worth of fun.

I didn’t think anything could be as fun as slot machines and bloody marys, but I was most definitely wrong. We headed straight out into the fields of Missouri for a Corn Maze adventure…

View from above… It’s freakin huge.

Life is good.

I have been taking so many pictures, I can’t keep up with myself.

A short recap of the week:
School keeps getting more and more intense. However, I was one of the few to test out of my Journalism writing course, so now I get to sleep late every Thursday for the rest of the semester.
The Canadian Tuxedos won their first softball game!
Finally got around to selling another round on Ebay.
Got a new dress (see above).
Went to Kansas City… again.
Had girls night for the first time in forever…

Just a few of the pictures from that night.
(Somehow we ended up with free shots, bottles of wine, and a kitten on our table.)

Yet another busy, busy week has passed. School just about killed me with three exams and a paper due, but at least the semester is half way over and I’m looking at some A’s.

Built To Spill played on Tuesday. As much as I love them, I wasn’t exactly excited to see them since I just their show in Memphis a few months back. They still jammed quite a bit after each one of their songs, but they were good nonetheless. Jessica and I made our own fun by dancin and playing air bongos (not only did they jam, but they also strummed out a reggae-ish song).

My days also consisted of bunnies and roses. Can you get any cuter than that?

As for the weekend, Todd and I watched about 2287 episodes of Six Feet Under. Now every where I go I feel like I’m going to die in some random & tragic way. We took a break on Saturday night to meet up with friends and walk in a single file line on Dickson St. for Bikes, Blues, & BBQ. I’m glad I went, but it seriously got old after about 15 minutes.

Mmmmm – corn and thongs.

Now it’s Sunday, the calm before the storm that is next week. I’m off to enjoy it..

I went to my very first Razorback football game on Saturday! We bought tickets at the very last minute but somehow ended up on the third row from the field. Todd and I had to walk to the stadium as soon as I got off work, so I didn’t have time to change out of my black shirt and gold dangly earrings. I was kinda disappointed that I didn’t plan ahead and wear a red shirt like every other person in the stands. However, I was ultra disappointed to see that when we got to our seats and looked out in the field that the rivalry team’s colors are, of course, BLACK and GOLD. Boo.

Now it’s Sunday… my one day off of school and work. School by the way is going great. It’s already a lot of work, but most of my classes are at least interesting. Oh and in other news, my mom and step-dad just bought a house in Memphis (they’ve decided to leave DC). It’s a big, yet cozy, old house over by Rhodes, but the best part is that it comes w/ a hot tub inside a screened-in porch. All in all I’m just excited to have my mom in my home town again.
