A Post for Me

Hi all! I'm sitting here watching the clock and counting the seconds to spring break! It is just about the only thing on my mind these days and I can't wait! I saw this post on another blog "In the Pink", so I thought I'd copy it and do it myself. I think these little introspective posts are fun sometimes, so definitely post it yourself!!

If I was a month, I would be late May or June. 

If I was a day of the week, I would be Friday.

If I was a time of day, I would be dinner time.

If I was a direction, I would be East like the water.

If I was a piece of furniture, I would be a bean bag chair (90's throwback style).

If I was a liquid, I would be Cherry 7-Up.

If I was a gemstone, I would be a pearl.

If I was a flower, I would be a Gerber Daisy.

If I was a kind of weather, I would be an Annapolis summer day minus the humidity.

If I was a musical instrument, I would be a electric guitar.

If I was a color, I would be PINK!

If I was an emotion, I would be happiness.

If I was a fruit, I would be an apple.

If I was a food, I would be a sugar cookie.

If I was a place, I would be home.

If I was a material, I would be printed cotton.

If I was a taste, I would be cupcake.

If I was a scent, I would be Lilly Pulitzer Beachy.

If I was an object, I would be a shell.

If I was a body part, I would be a heart.

If I was a facial expression, I would be a big goofy open mouth laugh.

If I was a song, I would be "On the Street Where You Live" by Willie Nelson--that's my new favorite, from the Valentine's Day soundtrack.

If I was a pair of shoes, I would be platinum Jacks--my signature!!

Now it's your turn!! Try one out for yourself! I had a lot of fun with this one!!

Care-Package

The other day my mom tried to send me a care package, but since all the snow came, it was TOTALLY delayed. Typically packages from home take about 3 days to get here, 4 days maximum through UPS, so she was not expecting it to take that long. It was chock full of Valentine's goodies and snacks that were very much appreciated! I love getting packages from home and I especially love the cards that everyone includes. My Aunt Patricia always sends me little seasonal presents and I love the cards she sends me. I actually cut up one of the first cards that my mom sent me when I was still having a tough time at school and she signed it "I love you! xoxo Mom" and it's now framed up on my wall and you can see that she drew a heart around the little note and the outline of that is at the top of the frame. It's just a little bit of home that I like to see on my wall.

Included in the most recent package was this fabulous pair of yellow and plaid boat shoes! How much fun are they? I can't wait to wear them with my J. Crew 5'' chino shorts!! I absolutely love these little gems! They're just making me WAY too excited about warm weather and it getting sunny. Today I gave a campus tour and I was freezing in black pants with leggings underneath, tall black Ugg boots, and 3 different shirts on underneath my big North Face Denali fleece. I am SO over all this cold weather crud.

On a completely different note, I want to wish my sister a GIGANTIC "Break a Leg" for her show tomorrow. She's in the musical Good News at her high school (my alma mater!) and I couldn't be more excited for her! Thursday night is the opening performance and I am dying to hear how it goes!! Here's my card to you:

I miss you so much and I wish that I could be at your show!!

Groundhog Schmoundhog

So, whatever groundhog result means more winter was apparently what we got, but let me tell you, that ground hog was pretty incorrect. Now, I hope I'm not jinxing the weather, but it has been SO unbelievably nice here! As the weather people say, it has been "unseasonably warm" recently and I love it! It makes me so so so excited for spring break and lacrosse season! The other day, we had a "free dress" day at school, meaning we can wear whatever we want and you pay a dollar for it. Usually there's a fundraiser behind it, but some weeks the money just goes to student council. Anyway, I was able to wear my new black Jacks to school and they were fahhhhbulous! I love them!!!!!

My mom finalized our spring break plans, and I have to be here one of our two weeks because the boys have like 80 games (just kidding!) that I have to statizize (I'm the stats girl). I think they have 3 or 4 games and then they head down to Atlanta, GA, for some warm training. When they go there, my family and I are heading to Arizona! I can't wait! It is going to be so much fun. We're staying at this resort that's like a water park and has all this cool stuff and then one day we're going to the Grand Canyon. I've never been West before and my parents got really excited about it too! Then when I get home, we start school a few days later and the season picks right back up where it left off!

There is so much going on right now that I have to write about. Last night, with my friend Caroline, I saw He's Just Not That Into You. Oh my goodness! It is so cute! you must go see it! The cast is fabulous and I don't care what the critics say, but it is great! There is a huge Love Actually vibe because (without spoiling) there are a bunch of couples that the movie follows, but the couples never like interact with each other (I'm pretty sure...minus like 2 couples). Anywho, it is adorable and a must-see!!

Also, today I got a new pair of running shoes! I love them! They are bright blue, white, and turquoise! I have gotten into working out at least 3 times a week since cross country ended and I lift and do cardio each day. I actually am seeing results and my dad seems to be pretty proud of me! He says now that I've gotten carrots (poking fun at my muscle size) I have to look forward to getting sweet potatoes!

I'm sorry that I haven't really been writing too much, but school is just nuts! I've been at college after college every weekend and have yet to make a decision, and I won't really know until about mid-March. I will be sure to keep everyone posted!

Happy Valentine's Day Eve!
