V-day Weekend!

So, I went to atlanta for valentine's day to see my caleb....and it was fun.

on friday we went to a party where i wore an awesome dress- i'm not sure how long it will take to get the pictures because some girl took them on her camera. caleb knows her but i don't, so i can't hurry her along in sending them to me. the only bad thing about the party was that it was SO FAR from caleb's apartment and we had to walk for a while. we road the bus as far as we could but the guys live off campus so we had to walk a few blocks. i ended up taking my shoes off for a little while, but quickly put them back on before we got to the sidewalk with broken glass and bottle caps. the party was ok- i didn't really know anyone and anna didn't come, so i felt a little out of place. they had cool decorations- rose petals everywhere and streamers...it look really cute and high-schooly. they also had yummy cupcakes that i ate two of while we were there....they were pretty awesome. strawberry frosting- yum. just what i like. we got back to caleb's a little after midnight and changed, then i fell asleep while we were watching tv and woke up at like 3:30 and then actually went to bed.

caleb let me sleep late on saturday (sometimes he has trouble with this because he gets up so early) and he brought me breakfast! a blueberry bagel. it was pretty yummy. then we ate some lunch and got ready for the day.......and then we worked on my website for like 2 hours! it took a long time, but i got most of it done with caleb's help. then we went to the grocery store, where we got our valentine's day meal- lemon rosemary salmon, baked potatoes, and sauteed zucchini. yum. the salmon had a little too much rosemary for me, because we didn't know that it would be so strong after it cooked, so that was sad. then we made chocolate covered strawberries- my favorite! oh my gosh, they were SO GOOD. we froze them for a few minutes and they were awesome. i loved them. then we watched SNL and went to sleep.

sunday we went to IKEA!! i love that store. it is pretty much my favorite store ever. i can't wait to buy stuff for my house one day. i did get some drinking glasses that look really cool- i desperately needed some because all i had were four mugs that came with my plates/bowls. then we watched some more tv- Monk!- and after that i had to come back to athens....sad.

it was a pretty good weekend. today i had to work on my website a lot- i was in the for about 2 and a half hours and finally sent it in around 3:45. hopefully she'll send my grade back soon so i can know if i need to go back and work on wednesday.

thats pretty much all i have to say today. i am exhausted but have to go to chapter....hopefully it won't last too long so i can watch secret life of the american teenager and get some chickfila!

My Awesome Website

I worked on my website for over 2 hours. I actually got a lot accomplished! I have almost finished my homepage, about me page, and favorite websites page. I still have to make a resume and put it up, and add pictures and one more website. AND figure out how to get the pictures to actually show up instead of just a box with a red X on internet explorer. but i got a lot done- yay! and i will work on it for like 3 hours again tomorrow......

My Twenty-five Things

Again, I really hate doing notes on facebook, so i am just going to do it on here.

1) Exclamations points are my favorite punctuation mark. I use them frequently.

2) I would really like to see J. Edgar Hoover's "secret files" on all the presidents and political leaders. It would be SO cool........and I'm a really big history nerd.

3) I am pretty excited about learning how to make a website. My e-tailing class is my favorite! I think I will be really proud when I finish this semester.

4) I was not cool in high school, but two of my best friends were in the "crowd." They were really the only people I liked from the group.

5) The first flowers Caleb gave me were pink and yellow roses. We looked it up and those colors stand for friendship and rejection when they are put together.

6) I tend to buy things for people that I love myself. Like the earrings I got for Sara and then asked for at Christmas.

7) I love books. New books have a great smell, and I can get lost for hours. I have stayed up until all hours of the night because I can't put books down once I start them.

8) My favorite band is The Monkees. They are from the 60s, had their own TV show, and are super cool. One of my dreams in life is to meet Davy Jones, one of the members (the one with the English accent).

9) Van Gogh is my favorite artist. I have a copy of "starry night" in my room above my TV. I want 2 more and then my collection of favorites will be complete.

10) My dream car is a red '67 corvette convertible, fully restored. It will be beautiful.

11) I am afraid of trains and train tracks. For legitimate reasons.

12) I love love love playing poker. I am SO happy Caleb and Ryan taught me how to play.

13) We went gypsy hunting this weekend and we were successful! Oh yeah.

14) I love Michael Douglas and Nicholas Cage. They are my favorite and 2nd favorite actors. I don't really have a favorite actress, but I like Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

15) Music is my life. I don't know what I would do with myself if God didn't give me the voice I have. Although I guess He would have given me another gift...but I'm glad I got musical talents.

16) I absolutely love Christmas. It is my favorite time of year. I love to buy presents for people and eat the yummy food at everyone's houses. And I like presents. And JESUS!

17) I really like TV. I have a massive list of shows to watch (starting on monday and continuing on through the days of the week): secret life, one tree hill, CSI:Miami, house, 24, NCIS, scrubs, lost, jay leno, CSI, smallville, Monk, psych, that 70s show, friends, and a lot more.

18) I love the Duke University Blue Devils. J.J Redick drew me in, but Coach K made me stay. If I had the money to go there, I would in a heartbeat. Maybe for graduate school.

19) I love chocolate. A LOT. ice cream, candy bars, cookies, brownies, cake, etc. I will hate it when my metabolism slows down and I have to limit myself on how much I eat.

20) My favorite restaurant is Mikatas Japanese Steakhouse. I love the soup, the salad dressing, the (double) rice, the shrimp, the steak, the chicken, the veggies, and the orange sherbet. Everything except the coleslaw. I am so sad that Caleb and I can't go there for Valentine's Day this year. I also go for my birthday with my parents and sister, so at least I have that to look forward to.....over 3 months from now.

21) I want to either have my own CD, be on Broadway, or be on a TV show/in a movie. All of them would work though.

22) I really like cooking and finding new recipes. It is a little difficult because I am so picky with my food, but I think I do a pretty good job of eating different things every week. I haven't exactly mastered cooking steak yet, though, but Caleb has so that's good. I just make him do it.

23) I really want some new shoes and clothes. I know I have a lot, but there are still some different things that I really want and just can't find anywhere.

24) I want to have enough money one day to buy everything in a Coach store. I want to have a Louis Vuitton bag, and maybe a Hermes Kelly Bag too.

25) I miss being at home. I am liking Athens more now, but I miss my family, my dog, and all my friends from church/poker night/school. I feel really out of the loop with everything that is happening down there and I don't like it.

well that was fun. it took me a really long time- like 40 minutes. i had trouble thinking of things.
