2010 Re-cap
I thought hard about doing this or not and I’ve decided I’d really like to so here it goes.
I graduated high school and left a lot of things behind in 2009, so L and I decided to ring in the new year with a bang. We had a party at her house and well… things got a little out of hand.
In January baby Tucker turned 1. :)) We had several b-day parties for him since his parents...
Busiest Christmas break I've ever had..
This has been the busiest Christmas break I’ve ever had. Since I’ll only be in Okay for A week and half of my break I’ve been rushing around trying to spend as much time with family and friends as I can.
Yesterday, my mom, L, and myself took my cousin Chance and baby Tucker to see Megamind, which was an ultimate flop but the kids enjoyed it. So that was nice.
We had dinner at...
Tudor Dynasty
I’ve been reading up on Henry VII lately, partially because I’m particularly interested and partially because I’m taking Tudor-Stuart England History class next semester.
Henry VII married Catherine of Aragon and they had a daughter named Mary. Henry broke with Rome, in order to annul his marriage with Catherine and marry his love interest Anne. They had a daughter named...

Today mom and I took my sister to the airport where she’ll be joining her future husband? in Conneticut. She won’t be back until January 6, 2011!
After dropping her off, mom and I continued on to do some heavy grocery shopping at Sam’s Club(which is basically wal-mart except it sells giant groceries?)
Obviously we got plenty of groceries to feed me, chris, and sister for a...
Also.
I got a new pair of jeans from old navy called “jeggings”. I’ve had a pair like them before but it was totally obvious that they were leggings. These new and improved “jeggings” come with pockets and a fake zipper. They’re super comfy and warm. Anyone who loves leggings would love them.
New purchases!
1. Hair bows: I’ve been inspired by childlike things recently and am newly interested in things small girls would wear, hair bows in particular.
2. Sweaters/tank: From old navy I got a light sweater in dark grey, a ruffled white tank, and a new black turtle neck.
3. Tops: (Left) New shirt from Charlotte Russe? It was only five dollars! (Right) Button up from Target.
4. Upside...
Last night, we had Christmas with Aunt M. We got some cash, make up, new purses and handbags, and a ticket to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway :)) SO EXCITING.
The bf and I drove back to Stillwater and crashed earlier than I expected. (Note to self: I need to quit referring to my bf as “the bf” he’s going to be Chris. Plain and simple.)
Today, I woke up with Chris at 9, so...
Weekend w/bf @home
Well the weekend turned out great, but it could have possibly been better.
Friday: Because the bf is cursed with ADD, ha ha, I took him out to play Friday day so he could run all his energy out. I took him out to Party rock, which is a beautiful scenery-the graffiti.
Bf was skipping some rocks. lol
We went to see Burlesque, which was amazing. If it ever went Broadway, I have slight...

‘Water for Elephants’ Trailer
Watch the trailer for the film ‘Water for Elephants,’ based on the best-selling novel by Sara Gruen. The film is directed by Francis Lawrence and stars Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, and Christoph Waltz.
Welcome Home.
The bf and I got in to Okay at about 6:30, which is only 15 min later than expected. We stopped at Pizza Hut in Wagoner and saw most of my family.
When we got to my house who was waiting here, L and baby Tucker. He’s so precious. L and I exchanged gifts and I hope she really liked her’s. She got me a movie reel decoration, because next year I’m hoping to decorate my room in a...
Poetry Final
is done.
Bless. Goodnight.
Success.
Dinner went over smoothly. My sister’s garlic mashed potatoes were a hit! Everyone left about 11:30. We’ve got plenty of left overs and the bf helped me clean up so my sister could go study.
Now we’re playing video games and editing poems. Boo.
Tomorrow my mommy and aunt T are coming up for lunch, shopping, and the Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of Dawn Treader!
Funday Monday.
Today’s been great thus far. The bf FINALLY fixed the driver’s side window on my car so I can roll it down. YAY!
My sister and I have been in the kitchen all day slow cooking ham, rolling cheese logs, boiling potatoes, and baking cookies. We’re having a holiday dinner tonight to give a everyone a little relaxing break from finals. Bless.
I’ve cleaned just about every...

Movies in December.
December is the busiest month of the year for movies, at least for my family. We go see everything. Here is a list of up and coming movies I’d like to see.
Tangled: Newest Disney Pixar movie starring Mandy Moore:
Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The third in my second favorite collection of books
The Fighter starring Mark Wahlburg and Christian Bale.
Burlesque: New...
Irritation of the day:
My roommates. They really are a huge problem in my life. I’ll have all four of you bitches know that I pay $325 dollars a fucking month to live here. I’ll be as loud, crazy, inconvenient, obnoxious, and rude as I want to. Here’s a few fucking tips:
Before you leave a note on the microwave bitching at me to cover my food because the microwave is gross, how about you rinse out my...
Someday Sunday
I feel so relaxed while everyone around bustles around shopping for gifts and studying for finals. Lucky me, I’m already done with two of my classes (Philosophy and Modernism) and now I’ve got nine poems to edit for poetry and take my Spanish final. I completed all my Christmas shopping last week sometime.
So today: I’ve been cooking all day in preparation for our Holiday dinner...
So much to do.
For today, I finally went to my first class this week :/ ha ha I’ve been slacking a lot. I’ve got a lot on my plate for today starting with:
Finishing up my philosophy paper, final touches, then turning it in online.
Attending Rizzuto’s office hours to make sure I’m not failing.
Having lunch w/ the bf.
Studying Spanish.
Taking my Spanish oral exam @1:05.
Writing my...
Slideshow..kind of.
Well picking up where we last left off… On Friday, the bf, his sister K, and myself met my mom at Rhema in Tulsa. We looked at all the new beautiful LED lights. It was truly amazing, K and the bf had never seen anything like it, so it was nice that I could share that with them:
On Saturday the bf finally helped me hang the Christmas lights up!
So as a surprise on Sunday, the bf...

– Sarah Dessen, Just Listen (via kari-shma)
Haven't been on in awhile.
Well rather than summing up where I last left off, I think I’ll just pick up on today.
Today I’ve got lots of plans, like my honey-do list for the bf. Which I’m going to help him do.
Bring in the blow up scarecrow in from outside.
Rake the leaves.
Cut down the wood so it can fit in the fire pit.
Sweep both porches.
Vacuum my room.
Dust my room.
Shower and head to Rhema...
