How was your day today? The weather is b-e-a-utiful outside and I hope your all enjoying it.
I just got done with a huge paper and am looking forward to movies, wine and sleep in the upcoming days. Unfortunately, I have two more papers due in the upcoming weeks with lots of research to do. I really don't want to spend the next few beautiful days in the library... I think my procrastination has reached an all time high.
Annie Hall is one of my all-time favorite movies because of the one and only Diane Keaton. This is my favorite scene in the movie and I thought I would share it with all of you. I love how awkward she gets in the end and calls herself a jerk... Enjoy!
P.S. Annie kind of reminds me of myself. I love the fact that someone else may share the gene of over-talking and spilling your nonsense guts to someone else. La dee dah, la dee dah, la la.
My friendMeredith and I were rummaging through the food court one day looking for our favorite frozen snicker bars as a reward for our hard work of the day (goofing off through art history classes and chatting over our break). I like to people-watch wherever I am and was listening in on people's conversations (it's not a crime).
McKenzie: "I don't think I fit in here."
Meredith: "Are you kidding me... I look like Long Duk Dong!"
So, you're probably thinking "oh, mexican night... that sounds like a lot of fun"... Well let us tell you- you have no idea... Read on for the details of two interesting evenings in the life of these bloggers...
Part Uno:
The night started out as innocent as any other night- we had the idea to make nachos... Because it was mexican night, and I have an affinity for Patron tequila- as well as it being a necessary evening for Coronas- we indulged ourselves in either 7 or 8 shots of patron (we both cannot remember how many we ended up taking... whoopsydoops). As well as shots of delicious Patron, we had a corona with dinner... So- by now you are thinking- man, these girls must have been trashed... Well that is only in-part true... We ended up cupid shuffling down the middle of the street to my boyfriends house (he was having a little get together- and instead of sinking into the couch and banging ice skates together, it was good for us to get out)... Once at the house, one of us does not remember a whole lot of the evening, and the other broke a lamp (as she was trying to prove her relationship with a track star- and thought it would be a GRAND idea to hurdle over a table... I broke a lamp... enough said)... Overall, it was a night that both of us will remember forever (well, one of us, will remember parts of it)...
Part Dos:
Again, the idea to make nachos and drink some patron sounds like a good idea- and it was a nice day out- so how could ones such as ourselves resist such a temptation... We walked down to the store, got the necessary ingredients, and on the way back- we picked up one other little gem- the Patron (keep in mind this was at 4:30 in the afternoon, also)... We made our nachos, drank some Patron, and enjoyed each others nonsensical ways- laughing, singing, etc... We had began to plan going out that evening, and were waiting for some people to get back from a track meet- so we decided to watch a little of our favorite show- GLEE! Once our comrades arrived, we went out dancing... Again, this was a night that we both can remember the whole of- and we had a blast...
Now some words to you followers out there... Get yourself a bottle of Patron, grab a few close friends, make some Mexican food and enjoy the evening... You never know quite what will happen!
It's obvious I'm ready for summer. I am the blogger who is constantly counting down days till Christmas, spring break and now summer. What can I say, I love the time off!
So this particular post is not about my love of summer but the plans for summer. Do you have any fun travel ideas or plans in the upcoming months? I'm thinking about Twins games, boat rides, picnics and maybe even a road trip to New Mexico. Doesn't that sound fun? I really want to see the Lightning Fieldby the earth art artist Walter De Maria.
Have you guys taken any cool road trips? I think they're really fun especially with the right people, a good amount of junk food, no bears and a blow up mattress for my tent (I'm the worst camper ever). That's the one thing I'm not so ready for - camping. I've had some really bad experiences... an extremely loud owl, rocks under the tent, humid night and a horrendous rainstorm. But, I will get beyond my distaste for the uncomfortable outdoors and enjoy the beauty of this country... and then get back to my boat and making margaritas and guacamole for my girlfriends. Who doesn't love summer?
So- we were at Target the a little while back, and we noticed these little treasures hidden amongst a rack of clothes... My theory is that someone was hiding them- I mean who wouldn't want these beauts... So- I guess all I can say, is when trying to figure out what is sexy- look for things like these... See-through, colorful and with frill... Please, take our advice... Clearly we know... I mean look at us! (Kidding... Really)
