winter break!!!

finals are over.  

i am still awaiting my VCLA score, but so far i know i got 88% correct so i'm hoping that's passing!

whats on the list for winter break: staying in bed extra long today with my Hanukkah present from ALEX!  don't you love the new print. 

get it here: room it up

it is doing wonders for me today:

making my first morning of break amazing; next on the list coffee and Cheerios!!!!!

tonight i am seeing Coco Before Chanel at my friendly neighboorhood cinema.   maybe my french skills will kick in and i will not have to read ALL of the subtitles.

perhaps i will bring my knitting project with me!  i'm making alex an infinity scarf!!!

FINALS

so ironic for me to write about finals on POST college project but i must. 


oh gradschool why can't you be more like undergrad???


in undergrad i had a fabulous study nook in King Library.  it was glorious and i could watch the squirrels and snow and wander aimlessly during study breaks.  Food was allowed and was availble for purchase.  it was heaven.

now i am stuck at the words LOUDEST starbucks because i cannot bring my coffee into the library and cannot leave my things unattended because they WILL get stolen. just like my id - i did not blog about this saga because it was too tragic- which has been found and i can return to the rec!!!

Even with my hotpink earplugs in (can you see them above they are a life saver!!!), i can tell you every problem the people at the table next to me have with their co-worker (she is not present) and what they are going to do to get her fired...  The "boss" just told them their plan will not work because it involves falsifying records and that it is acceptable to take your PTO when your child is sick... SERIOUSLY. oh wait i just found out all these people are managers...

would it be rude for me to ask them to A. lower their voices, B. LEAVE or C. stop being so LAME



In other news it is getting colder here in va, no snow in the forecast, but colder is nice.  Yesterday, a large brown box showed up at my house from room.it.up.  i won't be opening it until Christmas so you too will have to wait to know what is inside.  Today a brown box arrived from Kate Spade, i will not get my hopes up this is for me (last year i did and was disappointed).

update on the managers meeting: the "boss" will not be checking his blackberry over his break, he keeps referring to it as leave.  all others are encouraged to call and message him but he will not be responding.  he followed this up by saying he needs to know if the others make any important decisions they need to speak to him first.  (this sounds like M.SCOTT)  boy do i not envy any of these people. 

hope you all are being more productive than i!

i phone

as many of you know, i long for an i-phone but will not give up my free verizon service.  (thanks lisa and pa-thug!)  however, my need for an i-phone just grew to a large gaping hole in my soul.

today i got an e-mail from kate spade telling me taunting me with their new i-phone app.

are you in love? because i am.  hopefully alex has already downloaded it (its free! my early chanukah and christmas gift to you fine reader with an i-phone/i-touch)

let me know how it works out.  i can be reached on my second generation motorola razor...

winter wishes

below are the three items i'm going to be asking Santa for (he only brings three b.c that's what the baby jesus got)

can be purchased at The Laundress

can be purchased (with free shipping) from Tory Burch

can be purchased at lululemon

what are you giving as gifts this holiday season???

busy week.

the curse of the procrastinator is that everything is more exciting then the task at hand.  my tasks for the week in a very important order are:

a. go to post office
b. study for test 1
b. see julie and julia (this could move down one...)
c. take test 1
d. go to class
e. VOTE!!!!
f. study for test 2 (and do the 6 chapters of reading that i just cannot DO!)
g go to class
h. take test 2

i got up at 7am to start on this nonsense and have been looking for jobs.  my life has come to resorting to looking for jobs as my procrastination tactic.  pathetic.

in more glorious news... I am loving my set of kiehl's rare earth .  no i did not purchase these they were my prize for winning the contest all of you so lovingly voted for!!!! 

thanks daily candy!

if you ready daily candy today you saw these:

perhaps JC and MLF would like this!!!

more can be found at raredevice.net

love!

room it up

lately alex maire has been super busy at her J.O.B. i decided to bring a bit of her job to the blog!

thus we give Room It UP some love.

you can find them on Twitter: @RoomItUp and on Face Book.

The Room It Up products are amazing! and i have loved being able to watch the company grow and transform over our friendship! the LapDesk is the original product and is a MUST have for anyone with a laptop, in college or prone to doing work in bed!

i really like the train cases! i have a few and used them for a variety of things! as a lunch box, a make up holder, a head band case, and lastly and jewelery holder! i am tres in love with the Merci print but just palced an order for a few pieces (a new train case for mommy!!!) in the fun flower!

my other favorite part about room it up is that practically EVERYTHING is monogram-able!!!

this is one of my train cases:
note the awesome fishtail monogram!

the are your one stop shop for everything back to school i.e. a pencil case that can hold your calculator! and MINE should be arriving any day now!!!

GIFTS

to make this week even better today i got a large box from room it up!!! via alex marie of coarse!

in it were two wonderful treats!!! in the pairs print naturally!

first is a new SPA WRAP!!

you cannot see my fav. detail about the spa wrap... it has a ruffle detail about 5 inches from the bottom. i think my monogram will fit perfectly below it!


secondly is a wallet!



i cannot wait to use these new items. they are perfect for SPRING!!!

HOME

for the first time since i scored my own big kid job i am traveling home on wednesday. this is a v. big deal as now i am a true adult. pa-thug and lisa better respect. however since i no longer have a home ( my parents moved a-la LC) i am going to the g-rents.

one of the not so good perks that comes with being a big kid is the fact that i have to now give gifts to all those i love. while i LOVE giving gifts (AND GETTING THEM) this year i have found it v. hard. probally b.c i am so BUSY.
so busy i have not even decided what i want santa to bring me...
