Love Actually

I'm watching Love Actually. Such a good movie! (However, I'm not encouraging it because it is Rated R and has some inappropriate clips, which I just fast forward through.) Anyways, I've decided this is one of the best wedding clips. So happy. I get a little teary eyed every time I see it. All the videos block me from embedding it so click the link below.

Also, it's very fascinating to me to see who views my blog. I get the most random people from all over the word. I always wonder how they stumbled across it, but nevertheless--thanks for stopping by! Also, thanks to my other readers. =)

I am writing a paper. It's very unique to see that everyone is done with the semester and I'm still writing a paper. My professor emailed the class and said there is an extension on the paper until December 28th. Yay extra time!! However, that means more procrastination--hence the blog writing. Ha. I'm getting it done by tomorrow night so I can focus on work and going home for Christmas! Yay!

Also, I have an itching to get all dolled up and go somewhere fancy-ish. However, getting dressed up would be quite silly because it is freezing in Utah. I guarantee I'll go home and there will be a huge snow storm, just in time for when I get back out here. Boo. 

I think I got my classes figured out for next semester. 13 credits, down from my original 16. School and working like 30+ hours a week would not be good with 16 credits. Want to hear my classes thus far?

• Computers Literacy/ Applications
• Interpersonal Communications
• Descriptive Astronomy 
• Doctrines of the Gospel
• Psychology

I may add Economics so that would mean I'd be back at 16 credits, but I'm not sure yet. Such a dreadful class. I have a hard time taking classes that bore me. haha. Probably why I haven't graduated yet, I put off things. Oh you know me!

I downloaded the App of Awesome. It's just liker the books, I've mentioned on here before. I freakin love it! Well work the $1.99. I love the happy things!

Ummm I'm just rambling now. I had some great things to say and now my mind is drawing a blank. So Lame!

Oh hey there Christmas time....

Happiness is....

•  getting a root beer float and then the waiter bringing you a refill without charging you.

• cleaning for 3 hours and having a clean apartment!!
• Christmas lights!! Especially squinting because it makes them more glowy and pretty. Ha

• almost completing my must-watch-christmas-movies-list. I just have Eloise, Single Santa Seeking Mrs. Clause, and It's a Wonderful Life (which I'll watch with my Daddy when I get home). Also the new ABCFamily Movie 12 Dates of Christmas is suuper cute! I watched it like 3 times already. haha. 

• discovering other good movies! I watched this Lifetime movie called Sundays at Tiffany's. (I feel like I've said this before.) Anyways, it is about this girl and her imaginary friend. I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of my imaginary friend--Sara. ha. Apparently there is a book? So I'm going to have to read that!

• finals are done! Wooo. I have one paper left to write....due by Dec 28th. 
• almost done reading The Help. Seriously, I am so surprised how good the book is. May go down as one of my top favorite books. So if you haven't read it, go read it. So worth it. Although, I have heard if you don't understand southern talk it is a little bit harder to read because of the language and dialogue; personally I think it is fantastic and very well written!
• selling my contract!---Although,  I haven't actually sold my contract yet---but here is to hoping it goes in the next week with the people who have contacted me about it. I'm still looking myself for an apartment to move into. I just want a private bedroom with it's very own private bath without having to pay $450 a month. Is that too much to ask?
• I'm kind of diggin the new facebook timeline. It looks more organized and personable. I mean grant it, I have no idea how to use it but I like it!
• knee socks! Why haven't I bought these before? They are genius!! They are cute, don't suffocate my legs from being too tight on my fat calves, and they are so warm!! This is what I've been needing in winter because my legs get soo cold and so do my feet. With knee socks, I don't have to be awkward and adjust myself like when I wear leggings or tights under my pants--yeah judge me. You'd do crazy things too when you're in the freezing cold and dying for warmth (Especially when your work has nothing but concrete walls separating you from the outside). Haha. 

• These commercials:

It reminds me of my parents. haha. But in a good way, not embarrassing. Ha

Also, this commercial makes me cry---every stinkin time!!!

• I'll be going home for Christmas in exactly one week!!! I am sooo excited!! I've been kind of home sick, even though I was just barely there a month ago. Anyways--yeah Merry Christmas!

the the the the GRINCH!

You see I'm not avoiding school, I'm just choosing not to think about it...tonight. 

I choose the Grinch instead. 

What's not to love about that face?!

I choose Christmas instead of finals. haha.

Which by-the-way I haven't done like any Christmas shopping. Yikes!

Okay so obviously I'm thinking about school if I'm writing about it. I only have one final paper to write, 2 days of class, 3 finals (one next Monday) and then boom give me the good grades! I should be studying right this second. But there is just so many other things I prefer to think about.

My Mom used sky miles for a plane ticket for me to get home. $100 is all she had to spend. Can you believe that?! The good news is that I can still work the busiest week of the year, get money, and make it home in time for Christmas. So for all you Georgia folk December 24th -January 8th is when I'll be home. Make the plans. Which also means I'll be home for Target Christmas 90% sale!! Yes!! Plus this year Dayne will be able to go without complications. YAY!

I'm ready to move out of my apartment. I'm done. I've had it. I need something else. Something that doesn't suck. The problem? My landlord. Talk about being a pain! She is causing all sorts of issues with me trying to end my contract early. Who cares?! The place is falling apart anyways. Plus, new roomies would be awesome! So Utah folk let me know if 1) you find a sweet place for me or 2) find someone who needs a place. 

I've been reading. What have I been reading? The Help! (All thanks to Miss Natalie) I must say the book is awesome. I'm only like 1/4 of the way in but still I love it! It puts a different perspective on slavery. Also, the Southern language spoken--Rocks. I love being able to read it and know how it sounds in my head. I am looking forward to watching the movie when I'm finished reading it.  

Pretty Little Liars starts up again in January. SO EXCITED! Seriously, I love this show. I'm so pathetic. 

Oh yeah and uh Harry Potter Lego's Years 5-7 is in the mail! Thank you Best Buy Cyber Monday- $34.00! Next week I'll be sucked into playing. Perfect timing since finals are so soon right? I know! It's awesome!! 

I'm so addicted to reading blogs. Everyday is bad. So if you have great blogs to add to my list or you yourself have one, do send the url my way! 

Hmm I think that is enough random for now. Oh and I am determined to enter the 25 Days of Christmas Sweepstakes every day and win the $25,000. That would be so sweet!!

Happy Festivus!

Oh Me oh my and pudding pie

Uh, thanks to my avid reader--Dayne, he made me aware that is has been quite some time since my last update. Sheesh, silly ol me! What a shame too, because hello I love blogging!! Silly life getting in my way. Ha

I'm making a Christmas ball wreath, and I am SOO excited! It's super easy. Plus I think they are so pretty. Mine will not be so much as the one above. There is too much color and odd designs. I want like blue and silver, or red and silver, or something. haha. 

Mmm finals are soon like 2-3 weeks. Yikes.
