So we were sitting in engineering today, all pretty bummed out because that's what that class does to you. I mean, I have a friend that refers to our dorm, the engineering one, as the "Pillar of Sadness." Complete truth in that statement, ladies and gentlemen. Anyway. It started to

!!!

I don't think I've ever wanted to drop whatever I was doing and run outside quite as much as I did at that moment. Big, huge flakes just blanketing the ground. I don't think I have ever seen flakes as big as those ever, and I've witnessed blizzards.

Snow definitely agrees with College Station.

A winter wonderland right before spring shows up!

WHOOP!

**I will preface this post with an apology. It has been a while since I've posted and I've been super busy, so please forgive me for this post if it turns out to be uber long. I've got a lot to tell you.

******************************

First and foremost, a huge thank you to Sara-Jane for bestowing upon me the  

"Brighten My Day"

award! Whoop! I'm honored.

The rules...
Name 10 things that make me happy
Pass it on to 10 blogs that brighten my day

I will try my best! 

1. Hot chocolate and a warm bath with relaxing music.

 

2. Concept art for Disney-Pixar movies. I would kill for one of these books. 

3. A pair of really good-fitting, comfortable jeans. Thank you American Eagle. The last pair I bought from you fit both of these requirements wonderfully!

4. A clean, uncluttered room. I need to get on that...

5.That first big stretch when you get out of bed in the morning that energizes you. Amazing.

6.Being creative and my imagination.

7. Music. Any and all kinds. Well, except almost anything played on the popular hit station. Like Austin's KISS FM or College Station's Candy 95.

8. Team 17 minus Adam, plus Nathan! Well, Nathan is not in this picture. Daniel, me, and Javi at a Quelf party. Without these guys, I would have lost my mind months ago because of engineering! They rock my world!!!!

9. Sleep. Did not get enough of that this semester. I'm going to try harder next term to get more because I know I'm a better person when I've slept for 8 hours.

10. Smiles and laughter. Always the best. Being around happy people makes me happy.

Blogs that make my day brighter: 

Rae Gabrielle

Shelby: College Life Rantings
and I'm now going to use a cop-out and tell everyone else to do it because it's fun to think about things that make you happy! Get in the holiday mood!!

******************************

So, the personal life has been a little crazy. Jacob and I ended. Daniel and I began. I'll tell you more in person if I know you. ;) And I'm really only posting this so NOBODY ELSE can accuse me for not telling them about my life!!! I've had it!

I'm kidding. It's nice to know that people are curious and concerned and care about what's going on.

CHRISTMAS IS ONLY 5 DAYS AWAY!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

What are you wishing for?

My list consists of Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume, a yoga mat and a bag for it, a Jane Austen anthology, an art book of any kind, Glee Soundtrack Vol. 2, a Chi Low EMF Hairdryer, world peace, possibly a Kindle or Sony E-Reader

... and a New Year's Eve kiss. I'm hopeless, I know!

We shall see... I'm just excited to be home and with my family, out of school. No more tests or homework or projects to worry about. No more horrible food. Although I do miss my roomies and my friends terribly. But it is so nice to sleep in my own bed and have a car. And knowing that any food I want is in the pantry!

 And a very happy birthday to my mother! It was actually yesterday but better late than never!!
I guess that's it for now! Have wonderful holidays and feel the love!!!

I'm in total shock right now. Excuse me while I get a paper bag...

The Interwebs Continue to Thrill Me

I'm really loving how the Internet is becoming more unified. Information is easier to share and it makes me so so happy. Well, expect when people plagiarize. That is just no bueno. But look at this!!!

P.S. I did NOT draw this, although I really wish I had because it's freakin' gorgeous!
See what I mean?!? Way to go Facebook and Intel!!! I love you!!!!
Mmmmmm.... Christmas is on it's way. I'm so happy. The music, the lights, the family, the love. I love it all. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'll actually get to enjoy it instead of dreading over-the-break work that those silly high school teachers gave us.  I feel content.

I absolutely love it when people draw from animated movies! I don't know why, but it just makes me happy when people interpret something in their own way. I have a high respect for creativity and people that utilize it. And yay for Kevin!!! (I love Pixar...)

I just love this.

These are my two favorites from my own hand:

Facebook Graffiti is one of my favorite applications. So much talent! Make the world beautiful, people! Make the world beautiful.

I think this is enough for now. :) Have a gorgeous Friday, guys!
OMG I FORGOT. IT SERIOUSLY SNOWED IN CS TODAY!!! It was quite exciting!
