8 Days Late

Hope you all had amazing Thanksgivings.

(I am so very aware that this post is like over a week late but I have had one of those weeks where you only get 
5 hours of sleep.)

Mine was filled with yummy food, family time, Christmas tree decorating, and of course hanging with my friends.



Went black Friday-ish shopping with my friend Vanka. I say "ish" because we actually went at 8pm on Thanksgiving but still the same right?



I totally forgot to take Thanksgiving day pictures but I did manage to steal some Christmas tree decoration pictures from my mom.

My mom looks a little unsure of this picture.

Trying to fix the topper, it took FOREVER to get it straight. 

Not sure

Even more unsure

We had tons of fun and will have even more fun after Christmas when we have to take it all down.




Enjoy your weekend. I know I won't. Mine will be filled with presentation preparations, papers, and everything else that sounds mind-numbly painful.

No Turkey

I truly love the Thanksgiving holiday. The poor thing gets ignored because everyone is in the Christmas spirit the second the clock turn 12:01am on Nov. 1st. I love cooking and baking, Thanksgiving is the perfect time for all of that. Although last year I tried this new recipe, it was a brownie cookie thing that was no good at all. In my house we don't have turkey we opt. for yummy ham. I am a huge fan of baked ham!

Why?

1. It is perfectly acceptable to eat 4,000 calories in one day in one sitting. And the best part is you don't get sick.

2. Leftovers for days

3. BLACK FRIDAY. My friends and I have had this tradition for a long time now where we go out on black Friday at a ridiculously early time. We complain about it each year but still on Friday we are out and about. Pretty sure we never really buy anything because we are an impatient bunch of ladies.

4. Friday Nov. 23rd the Christmas music goes on the ipod and speakers start blasting the joyous music

5. Christmas trees for sale everywhere

6. 2 more weeks left in the semester

7. Family. I truly believe that I have one of the most amazing families on this Earth. And on Thursday we spend the entire day together. My brother tends to stick around for this day also, well until the night time that is. Last we all went black Friday shopping together from 12am-4am.

8. We have this tradition in my family (when I say tradition I mean we do it like every other year if we remember) where we write what we are thankful for each year on a napkin. I love going back and reading what I have written in past years.

9. The house will smell like scrumptious food for days

Have a marvelous tomorrow

21 Truths

21 truths from the girl who refuses get older

1. I am semi obsessed with giraffes ( when I say semi I meant completely and totally)

2. I judge people who have bad breath. Most times I really have to stop myself from throwing a mint into their mouth while they talk

3. Can not stand watching the news (don't worry I do read the paper on a twice a month basis)

4. Love awkward/tense situations. You never know what someone is going to say

5. Love, Love, Love to hear gossip as long as it's not about me, but I hate drama....

6. Billy Joel is my absolute fav.

7. Red is my absolute least fav. color. Mainly because I can't wear it.

8. Probably puts perfume on about three times before I leave in the morning. I always forget that I just put it on so I re-apply. Pretty sure it annoys my suite mates

9. Finally taught myself to enjoy black coffee. There is just something about that yummy bitter taste in the morning

10. Currently obsessed with grape fruit. Bought five of them yesterday. Two remain and the evening is still young

11. Thought my friends and I were the coolest things in high-school when we would drink. Let's face it, we were pretty bad-a**

12. Plan on doing my morning devotion everyday, in reality it only happens 4-5 days a week.

13. I don't tend to not listen when someone responds to a question I ask them which results in me having to ask them again. They get annoyed with me, I lose a friend.

14. Awkward silence scares me. I HATE HATE HATE it.

15. Can't sit through an entire movie without doing something else like playing a game on my phone. When I'm at the theater, halfway through the movie I start to think "When in the world is this 123423 hour movie going to end" (funny thing is that I love going to see movies I've never seen before)

16. I don't have the world's best memory, without my planner I would probably curl up in a corner and cry

17. I have this amazing talent at creating awkward situations on accident

18. Constantly burst out into rando song. Most of the time they aren't even real songs, just ones that my mind has made up

19. In the process of perfecting my dinosaur calls. Because once they come back and take over the Earth, I have to survive somehow.

20. Pretty sure I have an unhealthy obsession with the following movies: All Mummy Movies, All Jurassic Park, The Zorro Movies, and Matilda.

21. I truly believe that I will never be older than 21, because lets face it, why would I ever need to be any older?

Because a tutu is the only acceptable piece of clothing for an elephant to wear

With a Touch of Glitter

Well it finally happened. FRIDAY graced us with its presence.

Usually I would be more excited about such a day but I have loads of homework to do this weekend, combine that with the fact that I'm on duty, and you get a pretty cranky Elizabeth. (Well as cranky as I can get. Usually I'm pretty happy)



Weekend plans?


Mine will consist of group projects and papers. But I do get to go see "Little Shop of Horrors" again on Saturday, so I'm pretty stoked about that.



This entire past week really seems like a blur. The fact that I was just home last weekend seems like it was in reality light years ago.


Main accomplishment this week: Finally get my schedule for next semester hammered out. I assumed three weeks ago that I was once and for all finished with the whole signing up for classes party. But I had a Monday night class and like most normal people, the idea of sitting through a three hour class give me 1,000 migraines. So I had been looking forever for a different class to replace it. Finally a class became available and you better believe I jumped right into it. So for all of you who are probably waiting in suspense to find out, I got out of that horrible three hour bore and into an online class.
                       

                                Online classes are the best because you can do them in PJ's, bed, drinking coffee, watching TV, or listening to music insanely loud so to drown out all other sounds. 

The only other productive part of my week was cleaning out my arts and crafts drawers. I always just throw things in them but never take them out. So in my attempt to delay studying for a test, I dug through those drawers at 2am. Sadly there was nothing amazing in them except for the 11 containers of glitter that I found. Excitement? You better believe it. Glitter goes with everything, the more the better.




Jealous of my fun filled week? Should be, obviously I got a lot accomplished.

Check this out. So many memories. CLICK ME NOW!


Lastly: Found out today that Chick-Fil-A now has their Peppermint Chocolate Chip shakes back! My year has been made.

If you need a distraction

I hope you all had a fantastic week.

I was actually able to come home for the weekend. It was a very last minute trip, mainly because I totally forgot that Saturday was the last day to early vote. Also lets be real I will not be coming all the way to Clemmons on Tuesday. Because when I come home I like to make it worth my trip, I don't drive three hours just for fun.



This past week was very very hectic and busy. No real free time but I guess that's how senior year is supposed to be. But I must say I am getting very annoyed with the fact that I can't chill all day with my friends and do absolutely nothing. Maybe in 70 years I can try that again.




Although I did manage to find plenty to distract me for being productive.


1. The Oatmeal

2. These owls

3. This Pic

4. Quotes, Quotes, Quotes, and....... Quotes

8. ADORABLE.
