Zit and other things...

Well. I have spent the evening studying (finally!) and what do I get? Not an A grade, but a giant ZIT. Right between my eyes. Yes. It looks just like a third eye. Thank you stress, for manifesting yourself in the worst way possible. 

IN OTHER NEWS....


I have seen this picture all over pinterest and I must say, I find it HORRIFYING. Most of the comments are positive but this is truly the worst thing I have seen in a long time. A bow, on your head, made of your own HAIR. Gross.

PS- I wore my lion sweater today and it made me feel good.
PPS- In my sex class I was the first to be STD free. (I would explain in detail, but I like it better this way...)

12/7

 December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy —




It happened 70 years ago.
I began studying it 10 years ago.
I visited 3 years ago.
Still an incredible experience today.

Babies


I had the wonderful opportunity of babysitting the geege last night. Although her mom was a little weary of what the night had in store, it went swimmingly! She was as sweet as ever, and didn't cry once (even when Elena did everything she could to change that fact...). I also get the credit of putting her to sleep, even though she ended up on grandma. What a sweet, sweet, baby.
PS- She took a step. Maybe two. No lie!!!!

Finals Week

Well. It is finals week. The library is packed and classmates you have never spoken to before are asking if you want to study with them. I have two finals and 3 papers due this week and two more finals next week. I should say yes to those classmates or at least lock myself in my room (after throwing my TV out the window). But alas, I can't bring myself to do it. After successfully avoiding any kind of social situation because "I have to study..." this is my life: (keep in mind I really should be studying or at least writing my papers)
 Catching up on all my shows. Or re-watching the good ones. I am seriously thinking about marrying hulu...
 Making Christmas cookies!! If you're close, expect a giant plate of deliciousness. 
 Shopping. I have such a love/hate relationship with it. Mostly hate, but anything to get out of homework...
 Staring for HOURS at our beautiful Christmas tree. Decorating was long, but totally worth it. We went all out and I love it all!! (not ours, but just as spectacular.)
Listening to this guy on repeat for days and days. Buble, you're next.

Here's to hoping I don't lose my scholarship! 
(I won't mom, promise.)

The Goobie

Wednesday, 11/23/11,was a great day. It was GG's first birthday! She is the sweetest, cutest baby ever! 
She loves to:
 crawl
 play with Wanes
try to walk
screech (and I mean SCREECH)
 suck on her hands
ironing board
 smile
eat baby food- preferably meat
be sweet!


So Marie asked if I could make a monkey cake for GG to mess up. I thought it might be a challenge, so of course I accepted. Above is the end product. I thought it was cute. GG on the other hand....


Did not. This picture is deceiving. About 45 seconds after this was taken GG started to FREAK out. Marie put her hand in the frosting and she was having NONE of it! Then she saw the face and all hope was lost. Luckily Bum caught it all on camera so we can taunt her for the rest of her life. But the thing to take away is, my monkey was terrifying. I will not be making one again. 


Since GG was not having anything to do with the cake, we tried a cupcake. Of course she LOVED it. Who wouldn't?


GG- full and slowly slipping into a sugar coma.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet baby girl! I love you!
