1. Of course I like yogurt, I'm Irish and German! 2. Haha oh Cait, I can't wait for you to hulk out so I can call child services and have your children taken away 3. Julie I want you to go to France like today so you can talk and they'll throw tomatoes at you... What? It's the first produce that came to mind. 4. (my personal favorite) oh KrizzyDear Jimmy, Sorry we give you a hard time about sleeping all the time and about being a little confusing haha. As such a good friend and blog enthusiast (haha I sound so old), I thought I'd dedicate this post to you. I'm sure you're creeped out by it... your face might even be starting to bruise because of it, but it's all yours anyway : ) Love, Krizzy
This is also dedicated to you because you can single ladies like no other
Because it's almost Christmas and no one says Merry Christmas better than Hanson...
I was creepily in love with them. I am also a little bit in love with our trip to New York. It was so much fun but freezingggg. We saw and did so much (Macy's, Sak's, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, New York Public Library, MOMA, FAO Schwartz, Tick Tock Diner). We also decided that gypsies, cream in tubes and people who buy things can't be trusted. We traveled with Manta Claus, went to the dollar store, asked a security guard where exactly Ghost Busters took place in the NYPL, made Keiran stand in a giant armpit and more. It was so cold that we had to stop at H&M to buy hats, gloves and tights to put under our jeans. The turquoise tights I bought were perfect for the 2082 dance party we went to later that night. They said to think future but 80s so sweat bands and tin foil. Caitlin, Keiran, Beth, Lindsay and I got dressed up - but apparently in the 2082 people wear the same things they wear now because no one else dressed up haha. Here's to being "Those Girls" and loving every second of it.
This is Ron's solo at his a cappella concert. He arranged the rest of the piece too. I'm basically in love with it.
This semester has been so weird. I've had fun but I guess it's just not what I expected or hoped for. Maybe it's sophomore slump, maybe it's my perspective, or maybe it just is. Maybe I put too much pressure on myself but not doing so is easier said than done. I wonder how things will be next semester. Whatever tomorrow we're going to New York and then I'm almost done with finals and junk.
Okay blog, I've been neglecting you. I apologize and I promise to update you more.
Last week me, Caitlin, Keiran and Corrie went to see Ted Leo & the Pharmacists at the First Unitarian Church. It was an awesome show - especially because "we were those girls," and as Caitlin said by those girls we mean the girls that danced like crazy and had fun the entire time. It really was so much fun dancing and being carefree with good friends and DP. We even got a real car ride home- something that's rare but appreciated in the city.
I've had my ups and downs this semester, but the concert and the weekend that followed were positives. Saturday we went to a friends' house where we haven't been in a while. It was another fun, carefree night. I re-encountered the guy who doesn't deserve me and reaffirmed my belief that he doesn't deserve me - but we can still be friendly. Then I met weird, funny freshmen boys and had a random, hilarious time with all of them. Overall it was a good night with new friends and old.

I'm back to the blog, and I'm gonna keep it for myself and not worry about how 'professional' it looks.
This weekend we had a huge family reunion with my mom and her siblings, all of their kids and spouses, all of their kids and my mom's cousins and their kids. We've never had all of us together, and while it was a treat, it was bitter sweet because we were gathering to celebrate my Grandma's life.
I can't even explain what an amazing woman she was and how much of an influence she had on me. I can say without a trace of a doubt that I would not be at Temple without her, and I would not be anything like myself had she not been a part of my life.
A ton of my cousins have been married and had babies since the last time I saw them. There were so many babies at this reunion! The weirdest part of the whole thing was that I went from Philly to NY by myself. My cousins picked me up and then we met my parents at the reunion. We stayed in the hotel together and Sunday they went home while I went back to Philly.
It was bizarre to like go somewhere to visit with my parents and then go our separate ways. It was kind of surreal to catch up with my parents just like I was catching up with family I haven't seen in years. It made me feel very grown up and independent, but I don't know how I feel about that... This weekend kind of made me miss my parents, sister, brother and Chloe more than I had.
I'm really starting to question what I want to do in the future, and this weekend reminded me of how important it is to consider my family (immediate and extended) when deciding on my next steps.
