My past month!

So I have been slack this past month...so here's a quick summary.
I went on a Mini break to the beach....was awesome. It was like 50 degrees and perfect to be alone and deep in thought. Was great ...



Then came thanksgiving...mixed with my personal days. I created my vacation mix on my ipod...creating mixes is possibly on of my favorite things! Thanksgiving was good...got addicted to Lost. Ran a 5k in 35 minutes (not 1 hour and 6 mins like in the picture)...pretty good for me. (especially becasue I hate to run). Twila and I are running in another in Feb in Tampa...Pirates meet you at the finishing line!
Then came my last weeks of CCF...it was sad. I'll miss it horribly! I personally think my white elephant gift was awesome...Grable now has it hanging in his dorm room! The ladies and I went out to the Cheesecake Factory for an end of the year celebration...we dressed up and all I have to say is that there will be pumpkin cheesecake in heaven!!! Oh and I finally figured out how to change color with my camera...the one of me is with vivid!

So last week I randomly got asked to go to Disney World (for free). I discovered after sitting in front of a kid freaking out during it's a small world ride that I never want to take kids to amusement parks. It was fun and I really really enjoyed epcot! We ate in Morracco...it was sooo good! I really enjoyed it and at night in epcot it's quite romantic...strolling through the streets of different countries...white Christmas lights...a slight chill in the air...hmmm. It was fun. Oh and when we left we saw the space shuttle discovery in the air and watched it till it faded! That was awesome.



So now I'm back in to the same old same old. My car needs 4 new tires so that's what I'm praying Santa will put under my small pink tree! I'm staying here for Christmas...apparently it's rather expensive to travel during Christmas. I'm actually looking forward to spending some more time alone and organizing my room. My mom got me a sewing machine and I'd like to set it up. So yeah...life is good. Missing family and friends and I turn off I'll be home for Christmas every time it comes on but other than that good. Oh so random...I think I'm allergic to soy. Everytime I eat it I get nauseas and a headache... I tried it again for lunch and I don't feel well! But tomorrow is the work Christmas party and I have a hot new dress and shoes!!

So after one exhausting COAT group, being tossed around in like with a boy and nothing happened, and a busy semester with CCF I am finally getting some rest. I feel bad but I'm more than glad this coat group is gone and some of us at the office are getting a break. I mean I loved them all but it was exhausting running all the time. Andrew, Bob, and I looked like Zombies at the office on Thursday and Friday because it was the first time we actually let our bodies slow down...I didn't know any of us were that tired to be honest. So I'm offically not leading the summer internship to India (which I'm way bummed about it was my first choice and somewhere I'm praying about serving but who knows maybe I'll meet that handsome Scottsman and move there!) I've got Monday and Tuesday off of work so I'm trying to find a good deal on a hotel to get away. I'm terrified about running in the 5k...I haven't run in 2 wks since I got really sick and then exhausted from COAT. I think I have a winner for who I'm spending Thankgiving with...Starr from CCF. Then hopefully I'll be going to Orlando to watch some soccer with Craig and some others. I went camping last night...ohh Florida is finally freezing to me!!! It was in the 50s...I had 2 layers on and was still borderline cold! It was great the fire was so nice and warm. Losing weight has definately messed with my internal temperature..I'm cold a lot now! Uhmm I'm almost finished with my second quilt...pictures to follow...it's a baby one for my neice! Other than that I'm doing pretty good. Bored right now becasue everyone is out of town but enjoying the quiet. Ohh my ipod works...I'm listening to the Sign by Ace of Base this exact moment...such a good song!!! I'll let you all know if I die in the turkey Trot aka 5k!!! Welcome to my new reader Karyn and one of my favorite people...ever and will be setting me up with her single quality male friends (please feel free to follow suit...heheh)

Happy 95 thesis day!

If you don't know what it means goggle it or ask me!

So I had a great October 31st! Phil took the office out for some needed encouragment. We left the office at 7am to an mystery place which ended up being this swamp nature reserve. It was so beautiful! It was like a school field trip and was all educational even! I saw a 13 ft gator! It was 2 miles of board walk in undestrubed Florida wild...what it looked like 100 years ago! It was really relaxing and great not to be in an office or doing COAT but it was great being able to relax and enjoy the people I work with. Then some of my college students had a party and I was Pippy Longstocking (something I've always wanted to be!) next year Strawberry Shortcake - old school version! Ohh I am most likely leading an Internship this summer...Kenya is out and they offered me Bulgaria or Malawi...I'd like India but we'll see... The decision is made in Jan. Other than that I'm sick and my throat hurts real bad but I worked all day and now can crash and watch movies and sleep!

Elise and me...she was a cop

Bane of my existance

This is my brand new ipod that I've saved and coveted for so long. It's crap! After 3hrs on teh phone with apple and 10 hrs of frustration it's still not working. Then I took it to best buy for them to fix and guess what...no workie still. ughhh sometime when I have time I'm going back to Best Buy and they WILL make it work or replace it! I'm none too happy about this!
