Lands End Canvas

I know what you are thinking...Lands End is for soccer moms and i agree.  it is and its at places like sears and Kmart.  but hold on, they have this young and fresh line Lands End Canvas.  It's super cute - super cute - i actually really love it and i may have just placed an order.  style is preppy and classic.  new love.

 jersey shore...its so outta control, like whoah...

Rocketeer

I wish i was as cool as these dudes.

SNOW!

I love snow.

Maybe I should say, I used to love snow.  it's pretty and fun to play in.  but i got stuck at work last night.  let me explain.  all of the rookies sent out emails at 3pm saying that they were leaving for the day as there was a projected snow storm moving in.  heh.  WHAT?!  are you serious?!  there is work to be done - how dare you.  needless to say, 5 pm hit and it got dark.  next thing I know, there were 8 inches in the parking lot, covering my pathetic front wheel drive toyota corolla.  i spent about a half hour digging out my car...hmm, well, more like kicking snow out of the way.  i did not make it out of my parking spot.  luckily, there were several of my collegues who were also stuck in the office and we chatted for awhile joking about working through the night.  well, luckily our firm put us up at the hotel across the street to stay the night....so today....i am wearing the same outfit that i wore yesterday, my eyes and contacts are dry, and i'm hungry.  i feel so nappy and last night i asked the front desk for a complementary toothbrush.  i think it may have had 2 bristles on it.  ugh.  i will be digging out my car later today.

I still think he's the hottest...and he plays soccer

That's it - stare.  it's a beautiful picture.

what a great friday

It's Friday brahs.  But today was a good day, well, i am still at work, but relatively "good."  why is that you say?  ok, first thing's first, last night i saw country strong and that in itself was just a booster to get me through today.  fridays during busy season are special.  not only do we get to wear jeans and flannel, but today in particular was dunk'n donuts day.  i def licked my fingers of some of that glaZe.  the coffee was outstanding.  next...i decided to buy sugarland tickets on the second they went on sale (coming to merriweather PP in May with Little Big Town and Matt Nathanson). 

got some dang good seats or should i say standing room spac-es.  Ok, then the best thing of all, i got this great email from my soccer coach at Messiah.  great for several reasons.  first being the fact that he took the time to write us (the MWS alumni and I was first on the list) on his update on life email.  sooooo, i took a time out at work and decided to respond with an update on MY life and even better, he responded to my response email...and then this cycle continued amidst some LOL moments.  shooot, i have to work tomorrow.

Loungewear

I'm glad it's a Friday night, because tomorrow's Saturday and the Ravens play...and i can wear sweatpants to work tomorrow.  yessss.  btw, i love every single look at hush-uk.com.  too bad everything is overpriced and in UK.  i wanna wear loungewear everyday, specially when you can be stylish like this:

oh and those slippers are super cute.  

Here's a zoom:

so, Yes i have to work tomorrow and NO, busy season is NOT my favorite.  although, i guarantee that someone will show up in slippers and purple sketchy flannel pajama pants with a thin t with like crusty stains on it.  yeah and i'll laugh in their face.  do you wear that to work?  i'm mean aren't i...

My Year in Cities 2010

So maybe I should have done this on 1.1.11. or 12.31.10. But I didn't.  I was inspired by an semi-old post.  I spent 1 or more nights in the following cities in 2010 (this should be lame):

Baltimore, MD

Jarrettsville, MD
Cambridge, MD
Deep Creek Lake, MD

Seaside Park, NJ

Englewood, NJ

New York, NY

Outer Banks, NC

Norwalk, CT

Elizabethtown, PA

Philadelphia, PA

Grantham, PA

I was only in 10 different places and only on the East Coast. 

Lame.  I am hopeful for 2011.

Glorious Day

Glorious Day is a great hymn - but aren't they all.  I love when an old hymn is transformed into a new song...same lyrics, but a slight change in the tune.  love.love the remake by Casting Crowns on their recent album, Until the Whole World Hears.
so good. so powerful. so true.

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises

One day when sin was as black as could be

Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin

Dwelt among men, my example is He

Word became flesh and the light shined among us

His glory revealed

Living, He loved me

Dying, He saved me

Buried, He carried my sins far away

Rising, He justified freely forever

One day He’s coming

Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain

One day they nailed Him to die on a tree

Suffering anguish, despised and rejected

Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He

Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree

And took the nails for me

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer

One day the stone rolled away from the door

Then He arose, over death He had conquered

Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore

Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him

From rising again

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming

One day the skies with His glories will shine

Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing

My Savior, Jesus, is mine

OH,GLORIOUS DAY

Love for Madewell

Love Madewell's semi-nautical look for the upcoming season!...

'specially those wellies...

and this jacket.

Recycle your vespa

I recently started to recycle.  Check out this sweet Vespa rocker! 

Um, I want this...and a Vespa and a cute matching helmet.

Love this lady's double belt action.

These wood lamps are cute.

What if I wore a chain and rings as big as Kanye's...do you think I could pull it off?

Ok, wait, how about this.

Busy season day 3.  Can it be done? 
I'm starving, but i love the intensity at the gym.  yeah dawg. 

Snooki's Novel

Today, Snooks released her novel.  Awesome.

New years' non-goals...OK and resolutions

I guess when a new year begins, you are supposed to come up with a list of resolutions for the new year.  Maybe not a list, maybe just one...i bet the most popular new years resolution is losing weight or perhaps a generic "spend more time with family or friends."  These are all good...they are.  and I hope that I am able to do these things too in 2011.  But I was recently inspired by this gal's non-goals...very creative - love the idea so much I will share my own - actually mine weren't necessarily things i love about myself, but i guess things i gave myself credit for doing in 2010:

1. Blogging:  Something about blogging is very refreshing.  It's like sharing thoughts and slightly diary-ish, but not.  or maybe just venting on paper.  I think since September, I've blogged at least twice a week, if not every day.  and i like random thoughts and fragments.  and talking slang, but not ghetto.  and putting a lowercase i instead of I.  Horray.
2. Fill the DVR every week:  well, almost.  I will continue to watch as much TV as I want.  That's why I pay for the bloody cable box.
3. That girl praised herself for brushing her teeth every night before she went to bed, so I will too.  If you don't you are nast. foul.
4. Hug my little niece often:   ok, well maybe this one doesn't count bc how can you resist this little ball of cuteness?! 
5. Tweet.  I like Twitter alot.  and i brought it back this year.
6. Drink coffee every day.  This is a good habit and don't tell me otherwise.
7. Wear sweatpants often.  This is also a good habit.  Although slightly sloppy, they are sooo worth it.
8. Not obsesssing about germs.  I can't stand people that do the paper towl thing in the bathroom and don't touch things with germs on them.  Get over it.  Only the strong survive.

Yo don't stress - Here are my goals for 2011.

1. Wear my hair down more often.  This is bold.  I never wear my hair down bc, first of all - so annoying.  secondly, it takes way too long to manage in the morning bf work and I'd rather get to work 10 minutes early.  third, when i wear my hair down at work, so many people comment, oooooo, your hair is so long.  what are you supposed to say?!  yep. the end. or nope. liar. or thanks, but not really. or duuhh. retard.
2. Paint my nails one time this year.  I think the last time I did was when I was interviewing for a job after college. But it was only the clear stuff.  Maybe it wil be my toenails, maybe fingernails *gasp* why am i saying this?!
3. Compete in a race.  This one is pending a healthy ankle.  I hope, I pray, but only time will tell.  I really wanna do a triathalon.  Even though I suck at swimming.
4. Travel this summer.  I want to travel outside of the USofA.  Any good ideas?  Anyone wanna come?
5. Cook more often.  and by this i mean, wholesome meals.  like fish and vegetables or venison and couscous.  not egg-white breakfast sandwiches every freaking night, and morning, and afternoon.
6. Make more of an effort to visit friends and family.  I have no excuse for not.
7. Play more scrabble.  I am addicted to online scrabble.  scrabble is an educational game though.  it is.
8. Drink more water.  I am dehydrated all the time.  Let's change this for 2011.
9. Go see a movie in the theatres.  I cannot remember the last movie that I have seen in the theatres.  I never go.  I used to fall asleep.  It is kinda a waste of money, but I always see the movie previews and say, i wanna see that.  and then. i. never. do.
10. Complete P90X...again.  it's fierce!  I dare you to try.

What are your New Year's Resolutions?  hny.
