Sending Hugs and Kisses




        This is that best valentine's day ever, and I hope it's the same for all of you (sorry D, I hope you get better soon!)  I am entirely happy with life at the moment, and figure that I might as well eat candy while I can avoid feeling guilty about it.  We had our valentine's dance at school on Friday, and it was great (there's nothing better at lifting my spirits than a party!)  The somewhat bad news is we have to wear T-Shirts at swim practice for drag (it wears your arms out so much).  However, the good side of that is that I don't have practice next week because most of my teammates have vacation  More good news is that my speech about poverty and optimistic ways made it to that semi-finals in the Fay School speech competition, as did my friend D's.  Also, I found the cutest most blair-like top at forever 21 yesterday (sleeveless, ruffled navy with white polka dots.)  Once again, I hope your love lives are going well, happy valentine's day!

ARod Finally Caught for Being an Idiot


           As of yesterday, one of my most hated Yankees(second only Johnny Damon) was at last prosecuted for being an idiot.  As of now he is being tried for illegal use of steroids.  The second most recent news about athletes and their use of drugs, one word Michael Phelps.  I was so sad, as most of you know he recently went to the Beijing Olympics and broke tons of records with eight gold medals in 2008.  He first went to the Olympics in 2004, and I have been a huge fan ever since (yes back when nobody knew him.) I was in love with him in 3rd grade, and was convinced that I was going to marry him, you can go to my friend D's blog and ask her all about in (hehe) her blog is  called Fashionably Late.  On the note of sports, I have great news!  This March when I'm on vaca in Florida, I'm driving down to Fort Myers from my beach house to go to Red Sox spring training with my family. YAYAYAYA, I've always wanted to go.  Also please vote on my blog layout poll (afterall this is the third time I've changed it) btw thanks to D for changing it for me.  


XOXO

They Only Good Store I Know That Doesn't Cause Me to Become Broke (Forever 21)

I Never thought that I would like Forever 21, I always thought that whoever created has multple personalities dissorder, but last weekend by friend O made me go there because it's one of her favorite stores. I love it so much now!! They have great prices and while some of their stuff is crazy they have some really cute, preppy dresses, sweaters, and jewelry! It is now one of my favorite stores too. Today is my friend A's birthday, so congrats on being a teenager! Yay, swim practice and cupcakes!!

Mid-Winter Weekend At Last



Thank god tomorrow is February 6, the start of Mid-Winter weekend, which means a half day, and no school on Monday!! This winter has been the longest possible (cold, wet, and dull too) and I finally get to escape to Florida for the long weekend. This funny part of all of this is that the other day I was telling a boy in my math class that I was going there and the following conversation took place.

J: Whoa your going all the way to Florida for a long weekend?
Me: Ya. We have a house down there, and it's only a three hour flight.
J: No way! You have a private jet, that's soo cool!
Me: Ahh no, try Northwest airlines, it's always about a three hour flight.
Haha, I guess he doesn't travel much!

Carrnel Knowledge


   If you haven't seen the latest episode of Gossip Girl, you have to it's great.  The evil Ms. Carr has finally been exposed but there has been no proof of her affair with Lonely Boy.  Blair gets back into Constance Billard, but it looks like it's only to be expelled again.  Unfortunately, it looks like Serena has no idea that Dan has actually been cheating on her, this is so unlike him.  Blair's change at going to Yale has been seriously compromised, and it appears that Nelly has helped to cause this, her goody two shoe nature forced her to rat Blair out, and everyone hates her for it, and after Serena's huge sacrifice that might just get Blair into Yale.  Make sure to vote on whether or not you think that Ms, Carr should be fired forever, and make sure to look at the picks from the last episode on the CW website (Blair is wearing some really cute plaid shoes). 

XOXO

Virgin Pina Coladas and Guitar Hero

Yay haha I beat D at guitar hero once when I was at her house on Saturday, and I am so proud! We stayed up all night watching Gossip Girl and playing on her Wii. Haha revenge.  As a side note, she has had much more practice than I have!  Also I must suggest that you see the Notebook.  It's a wicked good movie, even though it's very sad at the end, but it's a great romance. Bad news, at school the acting department is putting on the Sussical!! Oh no, this means war, hopefully if everyone refuses to try out then they might change it(keeping my fingers crossed). 

XOXO
