I love Ziplock baggies.

Its true. I absolutely love them.

I buy a box of every size before I go to camp. I will go to the store immediately to buy more if I run out. And if I am traveling anywhere I have a handful of empty ones, just in case.

And when I am preparing to spend 37+ hours in Hardeman auditorium this week, I use them to store pre-made snacks. Or to store grilled chicken, that I can put on a salad.

Take a look at this fridge.

This says I have 10 minutes to run home change clothes and grab a sack of carrots, sack of grapes & orange, breakfast drink, water, salad w/ pre grilled chicken and low in sugar salad dressing, orange juice, or a glass of Earl Grey tea. 

What lead me to this crazy organization.... Fear. Straight up fear that I would have zero time to eat. 

And I love to eat!

After:

After searching for the perfect turquoise spray paint.... I gave up. 

I then bought a small bottle of craft paint and found perfection in $1.19.

Guess what happened when I stayed inside ALL weekend.....

I rediscovered my love for Joshua Jackson.

I loved him in Mighty Ducks, especially the third one, when he cried. You know that part where Emilio Estevez says "I told him you were the heart of the team" LOVE THAT.

And I LOVE him in Dawson's Creek. Now I never got to watch DC because like every good CofC girl, I was at church on Wednesday night at 7:00..... (that also meant I didn't watch 90210).

But there was one glorious semester at Harding, where my roommate and I would go to early worship at 5:30 pm on Wednesday and then run to the student center to grab dinner and then run back to our dorms, so that we could enjoy what we had been deprived of for so many years, Dawson's Creek.

Now I did end up transferring to OC :) and thus my semester of deviant behavior was over. But lucky for me by the time I was a senior, TBS was showing the re-runs and thanks to a my trusty VHS timed recorder, I finally found out if Joey and Pacey were at long last together.

And now due to the SICKNESS THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY.... I have watched seasons 1, 2, & working on 3. I know its disturbing that anyone would spend that much time watching anything.
BUT, If I am going to be sick, at least I am sick with Joshua Jackson.

*PS. In season 3, episode 15, Pacey wears a jacket from American Eagle and I totally bought that jacket my senior year in high school. We are soul mates.

My Friday night is spent with....

200 freshmen, and a cold.

Just in case you didn't know what 200 freshmen look liked on Hardeman stage.

Since I am sick, I had yesterday off and started the first season of Dawson's Creek. 

Joey and Dawson just hooked up.... I will keep you updated on the 1998 drama.

This is how I welcome Fall....

Another reason why I love Hobby Lobby...
Pumpkins that are fashion forward.

Sorry Hannah we missed you!

Its my Christmas Time!

I love a little thing called EYW. (read here to fully understand)

And truth be told, I probably love it a little too much. 

I am surround by sweet friends who are now showering me with Christmas gifts..... I am a little embarrassed cause I have made up my own holiday and now people are giving me gifts..... 

This was not my intention but never the less, I am humbled by their generosity. 

Laura wrapped my gift in cute paper.... and gave me Emma. 

Which I will be watching as soon as this week is over. 

Lindsay gave me my favorite candle..... And I mean my favorite candle!!!!

And my sweet, sweet director from last year, Miss Stevie White, left a note on my door.

It was full of pictures from previous years at EYW.

This pic is my fav.... but I love them all. 

Any of course she references N'Sync.

Merry Christmas!
