Ahem...

My birthday is this weekend and there is a SLIGHT chance for snow on Saturday.

All I want is for my birthday is for anyone who reads this to PLEASE hope that the snow comes.

Thank you!

It's been quite a while!

So long since I posted last! I've been very busy. I wanted to be finished with a portion of school by last week but that didn't work out so I'll officially be finished by Dec21. Speaking of December, it will be a VERY busy month for me.

Dec 6 - Salon Christmas Party
Dec 11-13 - Florida for a Wedding
Dec 15 - Start Moving!
Dec 16 - Exam 1
Dec 17 - Exam 2
Dec 20 - I'm 25 Years Old!
Dec 21 - Last Day of School
Dec 25 - CHRISTMAS
Dec 31 - Last Day of the Year

WOW

Almost TOO much but it's ok because the good definitely outweighs the mediocre. I have been VERY moneyless lately but Nate has been beyond helpful when I can't afford to give him rent or something comes up like car stuff. He has also been paying for most everything to furnish the apartment.

Nate and I went to Ikea in Charlotte today. I was a nice little road trip. Mostly I loathe being in my vehicle for any more than 10 mins at a time but my boyfriend is never less than the best company.

We came home with these items:

• 2 of these for the side tables in the living room
• 2 of these, the side tables for the living room
• 2 of these, night stands for the bedroom
• this dining set & chairs (which was only $60.00!!!)
  

• red cutting board
  

• and this SEVENTEEN piece tupperware set for $5.00!! (microwaveable, dishwasherable, freezable!)

Needless to say, we felt VERY accomplished today. Haha... AND we fit it all into the back of my Jetta. Between assembling the couch, coffee table, desks, side tables, nightstands and reassembling the bed after the move... don't be surprised if you don't hear from me for another month or so.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE. I hope it's a blessing.

Check it out!

Now I'm home and that's a relief.
But there's no boyfriend here. :/

belief is not enough. there MUST be faith.

'... one wants to be careful about the word "believing." We too often mean by it "having confidence or assurance as a psychological state"-- as we have about the existence of furniture. But that comes and goes and by no means always accompanies intellectual assent, e.g., in learning to swim you believe, and even know intellectually that water will support you long before you feel any real confidence in the fact. I suppose the perfection of faith would make this confidence invariably proportionate to the assent.'

It's a beautiful evening :)

employee of the month of june :]

i've been waiting on this for a while, and i finally got it.
i am NOT one to boast, but i KNOW i deserved it. :]]

i got a $50.00 prepaid visa and spent it within an hour of leaving work.

this is what i got:

• printed on recycled paper with soy ink
• sustainable beige linen cover
• has all text that mentions something about the environment printed in green (over 1,000!)

(i really just like how it looked :])


and this:



which i am very excited about. i HAD to get it because when i just flipped through it at the store, i immediately opened to a page that had my FAVORITE quote ever on it. i took it as a sign.



quote:

"You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve," said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content."
