Yet another free gift!!!

Believe it or not, Christmas is only 8 days away!!!

With that being said...here's another free present from me to you, with much holiday cheer!

Watch this video! You will laugh, or at the very least smile! It's well worth the 3 minutes and 30 seconds!

Enjoy! :)

I just don't know what to do with myself...

Imagine me singing that like Kimmy does in My Best Friend's Wedding! Don't know what I'm talking about?? Watch it on Hulu, for free!! Consider it an early holiday present from me to you! :)

Speaking of presents...

Call me Mr. Grinch!

I've bought zero gifts this year. A big fat zero. $0. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

It's not because I don't want to! I've got people I need to buy gifts for, but here's the problem...

For weeks now, WEEKS, I've tried to go shopping. Each time I go, I can't find anything that screams the recipients name at me.

Another question I've been pondering...what ever happened to the joy of the season and being merry??? Seriously! Why is it that to just get a parking spot, you must first sit in traffic for at least 15 minutes, get cut off by at least 5 other people, get cursed at for letting a car out that had lost all hope of ever getting out of the mall parking lot, and almost getting in about 3 car accidents?? Once you do find a parking spot, you have to run across the street because the "slow, pedestrians crossing" sign suddenly fails to exist or apply. Then, once you get into the mall, you must be pushed at least once per store.

Yeah, I left the mall in tears, without any gifts, running to dodge cars as I crossed the parking lot.

So, instead of using my hard earned money to buy gifts, I gave it all to the Lord today when the collection plate was passed my way. I have no problem giving my money to the work of the Church to teach the world the Truth, especially after my horrid shopping experiences! I'm all for saving some lost souls! Saving souls is what will count on Judgment Day, not worldly gifts.

I have one last free gift from me to you (just an fyi, keep your eyes out for more free gifts these next coming days)...

Go read The Simple Life blog. It will take 2 minutes max to read one post. And I promise you won't regret it!

Ready ... set ... GO!!!

What's that you say??

Have I heard correctly??

All of my work is turned in, and all of my finals are completed??

You mean, for the next 6 weeks, I won't have to look and live like this??:


Does that mean I get to do stuff for me now??

Wow... I haven't done stuff for me since...August...

What to do these next 6 weeks, what to do??

Hmm...

How about celebrate the twin's graduation from college!!

Followed by some good quality time at home:


And I think I'll finish it off with attending some holiday parties in the retro dress. Since I've already started the tradition of leaving every party sober, I think I might just continue doing that! Afterall, it's what we Christians do (choosing not to drink and remaining sober, that is)! ;)


Yep...I think that sounds like a great way to wind-down...

5 semesters down...2 to go...

Here's to completing yet another semester of college!!

P.S. Pictured above is a nice warm glass of chai tea latte! It contains zero caffeine!! And it's SUPER easy to make! Seriously, you should try it! It's FAR better for you than coffee, warms you up quick, and smells great, too! :)

November Run Down

I could write out what all I've been up to here lately (a lot!)... But, I'll spare you all from being bored to tears with having to read about it. See, I am looking out for you all!!

Instead of telling you all about it, I've decided to show you (and include some captions to help explain things)! How does that sound?? I know you're excited, you don't have to tell me! ;)

So, here goes nothing!!

I felt and looked like this...

When I tried to read, I felt like I was spinning in circles and this is what I saw...

Went to the doctor. Was told I had vertigo. Got taken off of work. Took some pills to help which knocked me out cold. Feeling MUCH better now. Moving on...

Road-tripped it to Ohio for Thanksgiving.

Got bored during the long car ride...

Accidentally knocked my dad's papertowels out of the car. He rescued them. Whatever would we have done without those 6 sheets?!? "My papertowels, Mere!!!"


Spent some great quality time with the twin including riding in different cars with different family members, laughing till I cried, my bed collapsing while the twin was making it, a movie, getting gas in the ghetto, having WAY too many inside jokes...

Read this book and fell in love...


Pulled off the highway to come back to the apartment and Beamer freaked out. Haven't driven him since. Taking him to the repair shop Friday. Currently rocking out the Benz and missing Beamer... :(

And now it's time to get back to studying for finals...

Oh the life of a college kid!!

Stay tuned for life after finals!

Until then...
