Oh Hai

It's been a while. Sorry, life likes to kick my ass sometimes. So, here's the update.

My brother's birthday was this month. I decided to make him his favorite pie since I had to work all that day. Peanut butter pie. It's delicious. Really. I'll post the recipe later.

I had to work all that day for the Athens Augustana show. It was a good show but I couldn't stop laughing that one of the band members has a smaller ass than I do.

As for school, it's kicking my ass. Between woody ID and Chemistry, I've been busy. I'm also planning on participating the the PLANET competition in the spring.

PLANET is a competition for Horticulture and Landscape Design students held every year with events in plant ID, equipment, design, construction, and other things geared toward the market. It can also come with great connections for the future.

I posted a bit back about the Hort Club trip to Charleston. For the spring they're going to San Diego. I don't think I'll be able to go though. I'll be taking 17 hours of classes and working full-time in the spring. The extra hours are so that I can graduate December of next year like I had planned on. Graduating when I want is more important than the trip to me though. I'm ready to get out to California.

Speaking of California, my flight out there is coming up fast. I'm so excited. Even more excited that T's Sgt asked that I make T-day dinner for the three of us since his wife will be gone. It sucks that she won't be able to be there with her husband for the holiday, but I'm excited none the less.

Today's plan had been to go spelunking with a friend but everyone else bailed on him so no luck today. The trip got postponed till after finals. Yay! I still get to go do this.

I think that's all I've got. Till next time...

peace out.

Oh the Lust

Laser hair removal at home. I want it. Having sensitive skin does not play well with razors. Enter the TRIA Laser Hair Removal System found at triabeauty.com. Sweepstakes has been entered and eBay has been stalked for one. I want!

Thanks Ashley for the tip.

This is Halloween, This is Halloween

Mmmm Halloween. One of my favorite days of the year and because I'm a lazy ass I'm not dressing up this year. I have also yet to carve my pumpkins. Maybe, I should get on that, but first to staisfy my Wa-Ho craving.

Ze Dress is Beautiful

It is absolutely perfect actually. I don't even need to make a train for it. I love it. It was a rather interesting wedding dress shopping experience. I was browsing a designer's website that a friend tipped me off to and the picture made my jaw drop. So, I went on a hunt for it and finally found one in Dalton, GA @ Eva Mae Formals. If you're shopping for formalwear and you're in that area, go to them!! They were so helpful and nice to me. It turned out that the only dress that had in the style I wanted was the color I wanted, my size, and they shipped it to me, all for a total of $200. Amazing deal, amazing shop to work with.

So, the make my own train idea is out, gone, not being thought about anymore. Woo-hoo! I already have my something old as well to go along with that tradition. It's the necklace I wore when T and I went to his prom almost 6 years ago. I already have an idea about shoes, hair, and makeup.

I'm excited and happy about all of this. But, most of all I'm happy that I will be spending my life with the one I love.

I'm In Love

The trip to South Carolina was ah-may-zing. Really, I'm in love with Charleston now. So, here's the quickie breakdown of the trip.

Day 1

- Riverbanks Zoo & Garden

- Charleston

Day 2

- Alejandro's Garden

- Demetre Park





- Private Garden 2





- Middleton Place









I had a blast and took many more pictures than I posted. I plan on going back someday.

In other news, my wedding dress came in the mail today!!! I have yet to open the box because I promised my MOH (maid of honor) that I would wait to open it till she could be here too since we didn't do the whole in store wedding dress shopping. I hope she calls soon. This box is staring at me. It wants me to open it.

And finally, I have decided on how I want to carve my pumpkin. I'm going to do a wraparound scene of Rivendell. This is going to be tricky but fun.

I hope you all had as good a weekend as I did.

Charleston

Yes, Hocus Pocus. That was our movie tonight. The theater nearly got to half capacity, which is generally not seen unless we're doing a sneak peek. Good choice University Union, good choice.

Dress update: the shop couldn't find a train for my dress. So, I got the dress anyways and am going to make the train. This is going to be fun and the dress will be something that no one else has.

On the workout front, I still haven't had a chance to get out and go do a workout. Likely won't be able to till next week. Definitely going to get at least one workout in next week.

I guess that's it for the day. Off to do some studying and hit the sack.
