Maid of Honor

I got a dresssss for the wedding! It was like $90 from Lord and Taylor but if I find a better cheaper dress I may return this one and get a different one. I do like this dress but I just never wear dresses unless I absolutely have to.
Here it is:
It's hard to see the details/color from this crappy phone picture.


In other news, it was so windy the other day this tree across the street from my house fell over! FROM THE WIND.

It's sad, the old woman whose tree that was, her husband just died. Now her tree fell over. At least it didn't fall on her house.

Picture Time

It's time for a cellphone picture blog! Yay! The weather is unseasonably warm. It is freakin' AWESOME I am loving that groundhog right about now.

Here is my Sethy on Valentines day, we are about to eat the Pho we made!



Look what I found right next to the drive-thru ATM at the Bank of America!!
Stay classy, Jessup



This is the edge of the pool cover at work.
The stain on it looks like a cartoon lady's bust!



The hallway at work. There's something weird about a long hallway.


Moira visited over Christmas and we went to DC.
The Washington Monument at dusk.


I took this picture outside of my house a few months ago. I just love the clouds.

My precious sleepy kitty Ender snuggling on the bed!!

My handsome fluffy-pants.


Ok back to the tedium that is my job!

Back Again

I think I should start blogging again now that I'm out of school. So here goes nothing.

I received my diploma in the mail yesterday! My first diploma in 10 years. Associate of the Arts, General Studies with a Science Emphasis, High Honors, Phi Theta Kappa! Sounds so fancy. It feels good to have accomplished something like that, but I have so much more school to go before I am where I want to be. So far, I have applied to Towson, College Park, and UMBC, and for Colorado State all I have to do is write any essay, but I have been avoiding it with all of my might. It is just so stressful to write, but then again maybe I should just write something, anything, and as long as it's decent just send it off and leave it to the gods of academia to decide. No reason to stress over it, it will be worse if I just never do it. Yeah I'll get right on that...

So Elise's wedding is in 2 weeks! I am the maid of honor, and I still need to buy my dress and finish planning the Bachelorette party. So far I have 7 people on board, and we are going to this DC club called Secrets where they have nude male strippers. That's as far as I've gotten. I don't even know what else I'm supposed to do! The bridal shower is this sunday, and it's a "By the Pound" party so we have to bring a pound of something..how weird is that? I think I am going to go to Michaels and buy a Elise a pound of glitter. And on it I will write "In Case of Emergency". I think it's pretty hilarious. Or I might just buy a bunch of arts and crafts stuff and put it in a nice box type thing. I'll have to feel it out when I get there.  As for the dress, I was waiting until the last minute because I have been wanting to lose some weight, but I think I have done a horrible job of that. I have been so slacking about exercising, but I am going to blame that on Shirley being in Jamaica. Also, I have been eating way too much junkfood, especially in the last couple of days over Valentines day. So much choclate fondue...MMMmmmm....and pasta and cheetos ugh it's disgusting but it was so delicious. I know I am going to regret it on the day of the wedding though! When I am standing up there in front of all those people in a dress, and in all those pictures...but at least I whitened my teeth. I will probably touch that up a little when it gets nearer to the day.

Speaking of Valentines Day, Seth and I cooked the best food! Vegetarian Pho and Edamame Burgers. Seriously, it was freakin good. I have to make that stuff again in the future.

I just read the greatest book, the Hunger Games! It was so awesome. Then I read the sequel, and I am onto the third book now. I will be sad when it's over, although through this series I have learned to truly love my Kindle (Even though their book lending policy is ridiculous). Also, when I am done this book i will have read 5 books since January, a month and a half. Go me! I also read 2 books by Tom Robbins, Still Life With Woodpecker and Jitterbug Perfume.

That's all for now!
