I'm a big girl now :)

Finally placed on a project for work .. AND I don't have to travel - check me out ;). I should be on this project until at least June .. and it's right in McLean! SO EXCITED!

So I'm currently in Marvelous Market with Ches (our home away from home). She's working on some school and Best Buddies stuff, and I'm just kinda killing time. I may do some research for the project, who knows. Cutest baby ever sitting next to us :). This morning I went to Pentagon City by myself ( :( ) .. BUT I was very successful in Macy's and Journey's. I bought two pairs of jeans (Mackensey .. I got Jeggings, bahahaha), and I'm really excited about my new shoes! --->

I can wear jeans and chill clothes to work so I'm pretty excited to not have to get all dressed up lol. Still gotta look cute though ;). I'm pretty excited about this project and to get more into it!

So yesterday I worked from 9:30-5:30pm and headed home - traffic of course, but I was in a good mood so it didn't bother me. It still only takes me about 20-25 mins to get home in traffic, so I guess I really can't complain much! "Just Go With It" just came out last night, so I really want to see that soon! Nothing really big otherwise. My mom wants to fly up during the beginning of March, so I have to try and make that work! She has classes on Saturday, so it has to be once those classes are over. I hope everyone is doing well. I really miss my family - been talking to CJ a lot lately .. he's taking his ACTs today. I'm sure he's rocking them. He is looking at UC Berkeley for school now. How cool would that be? I'd be visiting him frequently ;).

I feel like I have so much to say, but nothing is really coming to mind. Grey's, Private Practice, and Jersey Shore did not disappoint last night. Gotta love my shows <3. Have a great day everyone.

Official Starbucks Gold Card holder

I officially received my Starbucks Gold Card in the mail today -->

Pretty awesome right? Haha, just goes to show that I have good taste in coffee!!

Anywho, this show, Toddlers and Tiaras is on right now, and I feel like I may throw up. Why would ANYONE do this to their child? These poor little kids have been turned into monsters because their parents are trying to live vicariously through them. HURL. Poor kids.

So, I spoke with my boss today about my Q1 goals - it was a good convo, but long overdue. I'm hoping to get some work on my plate, instead of being "on the bench"!!

Today the new show "Mr. Sunshine", starring Matthew Perry, began and I think it was pretty funny. Definitely not the best show I've ever seen, but I think I will continue to watch it. Wipeout, Grey's, AND Private Practice tomorrow night. WHOA I'M ALREADY EXCITED. Bahaha.

I know that I had something else that I wanted to write about, but I honestly cannot remember. I always do that, and I hate it. I hope everyone had a great day. My mom says she wants to fly up in the beginning of March, so I am hoping that all works out! Sweet dreams.

**ADD-IN - I remember what I wanted to say .. I took point on the On Deck Circle newsletter for the Hoya Softball team, so look out for that each week! If you would like to be added to the e-mail list, let me know!**

andddd the Pack wins the Super Bowl!

Hey all!

It was a very long and jam packed weekend .. and I loved it! So Friday night was changed because a few people couldn't make the night that was planned, so Jordan, Mac, and Antonio ended up coming over to my place and we played Jeopardy (rematch awaits us) and watched "Jerry Maguire" (awesome movie). It was a lot of fun!

Then Saturday I went to hang out with Jordan a little before the women's bball game .. so we watched the men's game on tv (we JUST barely beat Providence by 2 points). So at 2:45, we met up with Mac and Ches (and her family) at the women's game in McDonough. We ended up staying still about 8 minutes left in the game (the girls ended up winning), and then Mac and I went shopping .. the mall and a bunch of other stores .. for some Valentine's Day and birthday presents! We had a BLAST (and were successful!)... Even though we had some slightly awkward moments throughout the night!! bahah "... there's only one" .. "yeah girl" .. "ok then"..... <3

So then Sunday, I went grocery shopping with Ches (for the Super Bowl party) .. Safeway was PACKED, and it was lame trying to get around everyone, but we had fun as always. So we came back to my place and hung out until I picked everyone up and we started cooking. She was a huge help cooking and the food was a great success! We had guac and chips (thanks Mac), cheese and crackers, queso, and tacos :). OH, and Ches made pigs in a blanket, which were a huge hit. Then my awesome friends helped clean up (thank you all) .. It was such a great night and the Packers won! Great food and great friends are always a good combination.

Went to sleep pretty late, and must have really passed out because I didn't wake up today until 12:30. :) It was very nice though, I can't complain! Some good shows on tonight - Harry's Law, Castle, and the new show The Chicago Code (starring Jennifer Beals). I'm excited to see it because I've heard some good reviews so far. I hope everyone is having a great day. Talk to you soon.

Marvelous Market chillin' with Ches

Hi all.

I'm currently sitting in Marvelous Market with Ches (new fav. place btw) .. enjoying a coffee and a chat. Their coffee is also very enjoyable :). She has a meeting soon in the B school so we're gonna head out soon anyway.

Yesterday was a good day .. it was long, but I kinda broke it up with a short trip to the Burger Joint and Starbucks. Then Jordan came over and we watched the (finally) new episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice! Oh, and don't forget the Jersey Shore ;). We enjoyed them all very much, considering we've been waiting for these new episodes for weeks! They ended up being pretty good, although one of the side plots in Grey's was a little weird. Oh well, I'm still hooked (7 seasons and counting ....)

I'm still waiting to receive more information on a possible upcoming project I may be on. Who knows if I will receive more information today, but hopefully next week if not? I'm excited for this weekend .. I have a lot going on! Be back soon.

Ciao.

Happy Birthday, Daddy :)

This might be a record. Two days in a row .. I know. Crazy right?

So today was very productive/fun-filled. I woke up at 10:30, showered, and went to campus .. grabbed coffee from sbucks and waited for Ches to get out of class. We walked over to the dry cleaner on 35th and N, to drop off her work shirt, and then proceeded to the hardware store next door. I should have made copies of my apartment key a long time ago, but I finally decided to today - wait the story gets better. I'm speaking with the very nice gentleman, and he's making me feel good about my purchase of 3 keys. Little did I know, the keys do not fit, and I must return to the store tomorrow. Yeh, I don't really want to discuss that any further! :)

So then we went and hopped in the car and made our way over to the Marvelous Market (next to T-Sweets), and I absolutely fell in love with this place. We each made our own sandwiches, and enjoyed a nice lunch! After that, we drove over to 31st street, parked, and went into the Post Office so she could buy stamps. Then we walked down to The Walking Store so she could buy the HOTTEST work shoes ever (jk, love you ches!). --->

So then we walk down to the Paper Source, which is most definitely "our" store. We each bought discounted cards and envelopes cuz they were so dang cute! Then as we are walking back to the car, Ches points out a nail place so we decide to check it out. She ended up getting a mani & pedi and I got a pedi. We both got the color purple on our toes and she got a french manicure :).

THENNN we went to TD Bank, and Safeway and finally back to her place. We made PUMPKIN DOUGHNUT MUFFINS there. UM YUM. :).

After that, I went and visited Mac and Antonio at sbucks for a little bit :). Georgetown basketball was on as well .. I watched the game at home .. WE BEAT LOUISVILLE WHAT WHATTTT.. :)

It was a splendid day. I hope all is well with everyone. Sweet dreams
