smokey blast eye shadow


-so do you need any new makeup? go to rite aid. They are seriously overpriced but they have this great buy one get one free sale. I went in there to buy this new eyeshadow by covergirl called "smokey blast eye duo" and they had it and it was buy one get one free! So I got two for 9.00. a pretty good deal. They have several colors also. On the back it also gives you directions on which part of the eye to put them on so it is even good for people who do not wear eyeshadow often!

update

Well I have not updated too much this week. This is midterm week which I thought I was prepared for but it has ended up being alot more than I anticipated! My professors assigned alot of work that is due after spring break so my goal this week was to finish ALL of that so I did not have to worry about it over Spring Break. My goal was to not do any school work next week! I cant wait.

Yesterday Alex got me a bouquet of my favorite flowers! Daisys. I was very excited. He also took me out to dinner at Zias. We ate 2 bowls of that salad, 3 breadsticks a piece, and finished our dinners. Can we say pigs?! We acted like we had never seen food! It was very nice to spend some quality time with him. He stays at my house all week but I have so much school work to do that I hardly get to talk to him at all.

Well I am going to make dinner (salmon and lobster!) so I will blog later!

ciao

4 days till spring break

-well I am sick. It's just a cold but I hope its gone before my spring break!

-Has anybody else who has over 100 mutual friends with me on facebook noticed how many people are engaged/having a baby?! Most of them are atleast 3 years younger than myself too. I look at my group of friends and just kind of laugh...I definitely won't be in any weddings anytime soon!

-I take vitamin E pills everyday for healthy hair, nails and skin. It just occurred to me how stupid that is lol

-speaking of nails, I have had these acrylic nails on for 3 weeks. I really like them and hope they never break :]

-I got side bangs! They are cute. I have finally found an awesome hairdresser (which are hard to come by)

-my brain is already on spring break I think. I don't feel like doing a damn thing when it comes to schoolwork.

how we met

Well for those of you who don't know how Alex and I "met" I thought I would tell the story!

I have known Alex for as long as I can remember because his parents and my mom shop at Sysco together. I also knew his sister who tried to strangle me in kindergarden. But him and I did not really know each other in our teen years. I used to date one of his friends when I was 17, 18, and 19. Alex was my absolute least favorite of my boyfriends friends. I hated going to hang out with Alex and I couldn't stand when my boyfriend would hang out with him. Alex was a bad influence (haha). One day I reluctently went to his house and it was freezing cold. We were all standing outside and Alex offered me his huge gothic black leather coat. It was love. HAHA just kidding. But it definitely struck me as sweet and I decided he wasn't so bad after all.

A few years later, Jessica, my ex, and I went over to Alex's house to hang out. I was trying to hook Jessica and Alex up because I thought Alex was kind of, sort of, cute and thought they would be nice together. We all watched a movie and then drank a few beers. Then we decided to play some poker. A game or two later we thought HEY lets play strip poker. So we did and of course we all ended up in our underwear. Then if that wasn't enough, we decided to play spin the bottle.

Here we are 19 and this is my first time playing spin the bottle. It was almost romantic, the fireplace was going, candles were lit, we were all semi-nakie. So first I had to kiss my boyfriend at the time, then Jessica had to kiss Alex, then I kissed Alex and it nearly turned into a 5 minute make-out session right in front of my boyfriend. As soon as our lips touched I knew we would be together at some point.

A few months later him and I began seeing each other here and there. We would see each other for 2 weeks straight and then he wouldn't talk to me for a month. He definitely played a serious game of hard to get. We had such good chemistry and had so much fun together that I could not figure out why he was so off and on. I was so heartbroken that entire summer. I made some of the worst decisions of my life that summer and was hell on heels basically.

Finally it was the end of the summer and my roomate was gone for the week. I was at work bitching about how Alex had broke my heart and Diane said, "Jamie call him up and ask him to dinner". So I thought oh why the hell not. I had nothing else to lose. I asked him over and that night he told me he loved me. I really felt like Diane put a spell on him and my dreams had come true :] We became official shortly thereafter.

So it is almost 3 years since that all took place. I don't know where time goes but I am very thankful to have him in my life. He has taught me so much about life and I feel like for the first time I truly know what it is to love and be loved.

Passion fo fashion

Jess wrote a blog about what she was passionate about so I thought I would do the same!

-Having a pretty house. In this category I include gardening: love everything about it. I also strangely enjoy pulling weeds and cutting grass.

-having people over: this sounds stupid but i love having parties, especially summer parties where we can slip n slide. its also a good excuse to show off my garden to my friends :]

-fashion: new, old, love it all.

-my family, friends, and pets.

-trash to treasure. taking old stuff and making it new.
