Friday: First on Friday I went shopping to pick out some new clothes for work. :) I got some sweaters and pants. I also got the copper bra I wanted. I also went to Tiffany's and tried on the ring I wanted. MY RING SIZE IS 6, you know, in case any boys reading this want to buy it for me for Christmas. ;-) Friday night I went out with Nadia, Bryan, Jenny, and Adam to Olive Garden. My mushroom ravioli was yummy and of course there were lots and lots of breadsticks. The table next to us was having a birthday...

in food, school

1. I should be obese. I could not decide what to get for dinner so I ended up going both to White Castle (chicken rings and cheese sticks) and Wendy's (double stack and fries). I have always wanted to do that but never have before. At least I stopped short of getting a blueberry doughnut at Dunkin Donuts. 2. You learn about the five paragraph essay in high school, then go to college and find out that is all crap. Apparently you learn "show don't tell" in college and when you get to grad school, you find out that that's crap...

We moved JoeJoe to his new place yesterday. MattyK made a decent joke (for once): "El stop. That's Spanish for THE stop." He also stole my good joke: "OOP, unpack it all and start again!" I forgot to mention last week that he lives right across from the Urban Outfitters. When I saw that I knew exactly where he was in relation to everything. Yeah, I only know where I am based on stores :) We got him all packed and unpacked fairly efficiently. Joe packed almost as much of MattH's stuff as his own. I lucked out and basically had the job of holding...

1. Applied for a good sounding job today. But it's only part time and in Orland Park. We'll see. 2. I joined Facebook finally. I just found out from Sid last week that UofI alumni email addresses are free. Who knew? I joined because JoeJoe told me that people from his work are forming a group on there so I can go window shopping in it for cute single men and give him my shopping list. :) Add me as a friend so i look more popular than I am! 3. Went out with JoeJoe and his friend from work to Giordanos....

in food, Kirsten Dunst, Val's best year ever, weddings

Congratulations Jenny and Adam! Aw, two of my best friends got married last night and damn, it was about time. The wedding was simply amazing because Jenny was just the perfect bride in so many ways. We started the day out bright and early at 9 meeting at the salon to get our hair done. Appropriately, Nad brought the Starbucks along with some fruit and croissants. Our last Starbucks as all single people, ah. Jenny wouldn't let me get a faux-hawk though (at one point while she was getting hers done it so looked like a faux-hawk was in the works, I told...

in food, Random Awesomeness

So, I bought myself a box of Hostess chocolate cupcakes. I hate Hostess chocolate cupcakes. I think they are dry and taste icky. However, the chocolate sheet top is by far one of the best tasting things in the world. I mean, come on, how can you beat the little white swirl down the middle. Yummidyyumyum. So, I buy the cupcakes, peel off the top, eat that, and throw the rest away. Somewhere an Etheopian child is dying a little. Sid says i have to find someone who likes the bottoms and marry him. I agree. Any takers? ...
