random babble from yours truly

i think the title sums it up pretty well.

okay, if pharmacy school doesn't work out, and event planning doesn't work out, i'm becoming a personal shopper.

i was looking at family picture from christmas and the sweater my brother's wearing, the shirt my nephew is wearing and the sweater my bro-in-law is wearing were all gifts from me! apparently people like the clothes i buy them. =)

in other news, I ABHORE this weather. today i got so pissed with all the puddles and wet snow that i went out and bought a pair of weather proof shoes. they are like giant clogs but if they'll keep my feet warm and dry, i'll be happy.

two more weeks until a lil freedom. wish me luck....

so... call me crazy, but watching tv tonight made me feel SO much better about my life. no seriously. it did.

quite honestly, i cringe every time i watch a television show or a movie that involves a storyline where boy sleeps with random girls in the mist of a break-up or boy cheats on girl then lies about it and tries to win her back. i don't know why it bothers me so much because well... every TV show seems to reuse those storylines but it just does.

anyhow! back to my point. i'm watching tv tonight and the girl on the show (whose fiance cheated on her) freaks on when she's on a date with an incredibly nice and sweet guy. she literally FLIPS out on the guy and the guy just tells her to chill out and that he isn't looking for anything serious and just wanted to take her out and show her a good time. why i found this comforting, i don't know but for once it made me think that all guys are not the devil reincarnated.

i'm probably not making much sense and that's probably because i'm developing a GPA-downslide induced depression and am sleep deprived. on the bright side, i got 2 pairs of pants today that i can wear to work that don't require tailoring! yay!

all right, i really do need to get some sleep. blog later and umm.. drive safely.

okay, aside from seeing the giants beat the patriots (take that mr. brady!) i am just happy to be alive. seriously.

you know, driving in WHITE OUT conditions is NOT fun. nor is it a good thing when your windshield wipers are clearing off CHUNKS of snow, instead of melted snowflakes off the glass. Furthermore, you know it's bad when you start hearing this horrible noise which only happens when you're starting to drive OFF The road (because the sides of the roads have those bump borders and you can't tell the lanes because the roads haven't been cleaned and all the cars are making up lanes for themselves) AND! the top halves of all the road signs are covered in snow so you can't tell where the hell you're going. yes folks, wet snow sticks to metal road signs.

i honestly was scared that i was going to miss my exit and end up in iowa or something. no joke.

this just goes to show that despite my utter disdain for driving, i am competent enough to drive in snow now. (it only took what... 10 years?)
