Lots On My Mind

Goodness, I’ve been meaning to blog for days now.  It’s been on my mind because there’s just so many things that I have an opinion about and want to thrust on all of you. First off, Happy Mardi Gras!! I’ve made it a life goal to celebrate it in New Orleans at least once.  My RA freshmen year went and she had the most amazing time. Secondly, do we all realize next week is March? What the heck happened to February?  I’m so not okay with this.  There’s so much to do and so little time! But alas, I actually finished my orgo lab tonight before the day it’s due (shocker, I know) and now I get to blog.  And seeing as I want to go to bed soon because I actually can I’m making this a short update about the things I will blog about in the coming days.  So think of it as a little tease. Ahem, I realized that the only things I email my sister about are food, nail polish and occasionally something serious and work related, occasionally.  Those cute decorations on my wall and that delicious looking cake in my last post? Details to come, details.  I’ve recently realized how much freaking makeup I own.  Then I discovered the youtube page for this girl I went to high school with.  She has some killer makeup skills that she vlogs about and I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched since Friday.  Last year I got a BananaCard when I bought my suit for my interviews and have since become obsessed with Banana Republic. And in case you’re living in a hole and didn’t realize it, they had an amazing limited edition Mad Men collection last August that I drooled over for weeks. They had this leopard print trench coat that I still want. Then I started watching the first season of Mad Men with my little brother because we wanted to watch it and I’m sad to report that it didn’t intrigue me very much or grasp my attention. Daniel felt the same way, so we stopped watching but I’m still obsessed with the show’s fashion.  Let’s be honest, would I not fit in perfectly with that era? Yes, yes I would. I’d also fit in with the twenties and the forties.  Which brings me to my point: I got a postcard today from BR and they’re having ANOTHER Mad Men collection.  It doesn’t come out until March 1 (although I can get a sneak peak Feb. 29 since I have a BR card and get 30% off) so you can’t even see the clothes online yet. However the pictures on the postcard are to die for. If anyone wants to get me a gift there are some truly beautiful dresses in the collection.  Ugh I just want it all. And that leopard trench coat. Lastly, I will probably have some big news to report soon as long as everything goes accordingly.  Sorry this was kind of sporadic; I just have lots of things on my mind.  Oh, and apparently I didn’t spell gastrocnemius wrong on my practical :)

I also forgot to put this in my five things last Friday! I think this is the oldest candy store in the country, however, I'm not sure. It underwent some renovations though and just opened back up! It's right next to the Franklin Fountain, on of my favorite ice cream parlors.
