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!

off to a GREAT start!

we all know that Mondays can be awful but today has gone surprisingly well.

i got out of bed at a normal human-beaning hour thus there was still hot coffee!!

killed like 8 flys (this is sick i do not know where they come from the house is CLEAN!!!)

went to spinning and it was a good class

went to the post and mailed a few letters (there is nothing like the act of sending a receiving a hand written note. i think it is one of the most valuable things you can do. and it cost all of 43 cents!)

WON the kiehl's acia twitter challenge... amaz! i am their number one fan so it does seem fitting
btw you should follow KiehlsNYC and go to the website!!!
AND found out that

JC alex's bf passed the bar!!!!!!!!!!

while this news does not include me it is most amazing and awesome and totally note worthy. JC gets to start his new job on Wednesday!!!! for any of you who are unfamiliar with this is it AMAZING and i am so happy for both of them!!!!

additional even more AMAZING THING....

kate winslet and daughter sporting room it up!!!!!

congats to alex and the gang what a awesome thing!

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!!!

the working life

i am just so proud of alex... here is what she has been up to (probably why she is always absent from the blog!)

ROOM IT UP!

as for me i am getting more and more excited about the post-post college life... i.e. grad school.

7 days until the GRE

i took my first practice test today. (i know all you over achievers out there just winced but its going to be fine i will be prepared)

the results:
while you cannot tell from my lack luster language on the blog i pride myself on having a large vocabulary. its all in vain. apparently i know nothing.

good thing i want to be a math teacher... i scored well in the math!

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!!!
