FEELS LIKE HΦME

I am full of so many emotions right now! I am: 1.happy that GREEK WEEK 2011 is coming up soon! 2. sad that I only have 44 days until Graduation (& even worse. . . . 34 days until 3D) 3. nervous about the future. 4. EXCITED about the future! I can't even explain all of the other emotions. . . . I would try, but would most likely fail. SOOOOOO. . .. .I decided to channel my energy into making a list of some great quotes! (If you have any more, LET ME KNOW! I looove quotes & want to hear them)

"I would rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime full of nothing special" - Shelby, Steel Magnolias (Phi Mu, a lifetime of wonderful)

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides" -- Audrey Hepburn

"Dancing is just a conversation between two people. Talk to me." --Hope Floats

"Phi Mu ladies are the light to my darkening life" - Gen. Robert E. Lee

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections."

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Southern girls are God's gift to the entire male population. There is absolutely no woman finer than one raised below the Mason-Dixon line. And once you go Southern, may the good Lord help you, you never go back." -- Kenny Chesney

"Today we salute you, sisters of Phi Mu. You are the true example of what a woman should be. With a closet full of pink and the best spirit around, you carry with you the second oldest history to all greek women. You are a true goddess, with your pink boa always at hand. You know the true secret to being beautiful- having fun. Rather than worrying about what other girls are saying about you, you show that you have better things to do with your time. Every girl wants to be you, every man wants to date you. With your Phi Mu values at heart, and that splendid southern charm, you set the bar for all the rest."

More to come soon! Love you dearies! :)

TOMS!

I want a pair of TOMS shoes SOOOOO badly! I just can't decide what color to get!

I kind of want the Ash Gray ones. This way, they would match almost everything pretty well, but also won't show too much dirt.

I am also thinking about a colored pair, though. Maybe the Navy ones or the Olive Canvas ones.

Any ideas? I am so torn on which ones to get!

Lions, Quatrefoils, and Pink. . . . OH MY!

As you know, I am a proud member of Phi Mu Fraternity for Women. I love finding our symbols out where ever I go. So, I decided to share some of the spottings here with you!

First, I will remind you what our symbols are:

The LION! (you can get this picture at Walmart.)

The Quatrefoil! (I LOVE this mirror! You can get it @ Lowes.)

The Rose Carnation! (obviously these are fake, but pretty nonetheless!)

This Shower curtain (& the entire bathrrom set that matches) can be found at Walmart.

This was a child's valentine box full of chocolates. (once again @ Walmart.)

These cookies were GOOD, but even better was the Quatrefoil on the side :)

Rainy Day Blues

A good rainy day is spent curled up on the couch with a good movie/book, a bowl of soup, and hopefully some good friends to share it with. Sadly, my rainy days are never spent that way. Yesterday, I spent all morning working on my papers for one class. (Ok not so bad to start out, but just wait. . .) When I go to leave, I realize my umbrella is in the back of my roommate's car. She already left for school. (Now, it is getting good) So, I run out to the car and drive to school. Upon arriving, I realize that the papers I spent all morning on are still sitting on the table in my room. Normally, I would take the grief and turn them in late since I was already running late (& the downpour rain!), but this was workshop day. On workshop day, if you do not have your papers, you are counted absent. So, I turn the car around & get the papers. I get out of my car and realize that the bus to the top of the hill is already here. . . so I run. I walked into my class right as it is starting. (Crisis averded) This class got out early so I went and sat in front of my next classroom.(FINALLY things are looking up!) I pull out my book to catch up on the reading I didn't do. My book for this class is a two volume set. Yesterday, we started work in volume b. I had volume a with me. (dum dum dum) So I sat through class without knowing what we were talking about at all. Finally, class is over & the weekend has begun. (no Friday classes! yay!) The only thing seperating me from the joys of a few days without classes is the walk down the hill in the pouring rain without an umbrella. By the time I got to my car, every inch of my body (& my bag) are soaked.

The best thing about my last rainy day, is that it is over! I think Jo Dee Messina describes my feelings best in her song "Bring On the Rain".

"I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it." - Meredith Grey

Growing up is scary.

I have been putting the thoughts of graduating, getting my first 'Big Girl' job, and saying goodbye to the life I have come to love in college. I was doing so well at putting it aside by focusing on other things, but the time has come for me to accept the changes that are close. For now, I am taking things one step at a time, while still grabbing on to fun and youth I can still enjoy.

SOOOO. . . I have decided to pick up a new hobby (since making sorority related crafts after graduation is not cool.) I have decided to take up cake decorating! I am so excited! I love arts & crafts, so I feel like I could be good at this. I have a long way to go, though. I have to get the utensils needed and start practicing. But, I have been reading up on different techniques. Not only do I need to get the tools for decorating, but I also need to find people to eat the cakes! ha I am going to get one if the 6" pans, so that my trials are small, but I DEFINITELY DO NOT need to be eating lots of cake!

Well, that is about all for now. . . Playing in the snow & a girl's night out is calling my name. :)

Hello Friends!

Sorry I haven't been on here in a while! I just got caught up in holiday rush :)

As crazy as it sounds, I have never been to Disneyland or Disney World, but my dreams are coming true! I am sooo excited about my upcoming trip! I planned on documenting the experience as much as I could, but with my wondeful luck, I got a stomach bug. :( So, ?I missed out on a lot of experiences, but the trip was not a total fail.

I stayed at Disney World's Swan and Dolphin Resort. It was GORGEOUS! I could not believe how beatiful (& MASSIVE) it all was.

LOOK AT THIS FOUNTAIN! I now have a favorite fountian. This is located in the center of the Swan hotel lobby. It served as a nice place to sit and rest while meeting up with others.

What would a trip to Orlando be without a trip to the WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER! I want to live in Harry Potter World. I would be so happy. We were a time crunch and had to squeeze our trip in, so we were not able to get the full experience, but the time I spent there was very much enjoyed. Though, I would have liked to see The Leaky Cauldron or Grindenwold'store.

Well, my trip was a blast & I hope to return there soon (by car not air~ once was enough). I hope that you get a chance to go, too! Talk to you soon :)
