Celebrating Alone

Since the bf isn't here to celebrate our 5 year anniversary I only have these pretty flowers to keep me company. jk I am going out to a sushi dinner with some friends, my outfit is below.

Since he was leaving for cali two days before our anniversary he showed up at my doorstep with these beautiful flowers and a card. We celebrate our anniversary every month so it was a lot of pressure to make the big 5 super special, but I like that we didn't do anything fancy.

I changed my mind and wore different wedges, but didn't take pictures.

Maintenance

Plane ticket to Dallas : $160.00

Gas : $35.00

Tire Warranty : $15.00

Oil Change : $30.00

Brake Flush : $110.00

Where is my priceless?? The other day (yesterday) my tire got another flat -.- I was able to get it to discount tire so they could replace it. Thanks to the bf for getting me the warranty! Anyway I decided to go ahead and take care of my car and a bunch of errands today so I could be worry free. All of these necessary expenses add up, must stop runaway spending.. No more purchases for awhile.

Instead of shopping I made a collage of fall favorites, perfect for the beautiful weather we are having!

1. Leather Gloves, motorcycle style

2. Hooded Cape

3. Military Cardigan

4. Varsity Cardigan

5. Simple Varsity Cardigan

6. Olive Green Cape

7. Thigh High Socks

No Rest For The Weary

I just booked my plane ticket to Dallas :) The end is in sight! Break down of my schedule for the next few weeks :

Sept. 30th : A&M

Oct. 8th : UTH

Oct. 16th : UT-Southwestern

Oct. 22nd : Baylor

YAY, also I have been catching up in all my classes after the terrible start I had. It's easy to let procrastination get the best of you. I tried to justify my laziness by saying I deserved a break after such a crazy restless summer (except for one crazy week in Vegas), but it's time to get down to business again. It can be hard to motivate yourself, but it is a habit I need to get used to. Some things I need to keep in mind :

1. Work-out regularly

2. Do not give in to cravings

3. NO more online shopping

4. NO skipping classes

Anyway this is a long, but picture-filled post :)

Shot of the birthday, he is tipsy already :P

All of our Hut's burgers ! So juicy...

On top of Mt. Bonnell in Austin, TX

We are fancy *pinky out*

Red velvet with cream cheese frosting from Hey, Cupcake! YuM, but so big I couldn't finish it.

The WALL of rubik's cubes at Toy Joy, made me think of the bf.

Kerbey Lane Cafe for brunch. My english muffin was so good...

I didn't photoshop this picture, the water tower really was smiling at us.

Back to the present, we went to the cousin's house today for a birthday. Jeanne from Far&InBetween made orange flavored cupcakes, the BEST!!

Can you spot how many poodles there are?

Tires Hate Me

Basically as soon as I made it to school I ran over a nail and got a flat tire. I was able to park it in the garage and went to class thinking it could easily be fixed. After I got out my good friend Morris helped me out, but we couldn't even get the spare tire out of the trunk... O.O Apparently the screw was rusted in or something... Then we called for back up and Catherine and Eric came to my rescue! Only we still couldn't get it out and I ended up borrowing Morris's spare, ugh tires hate me. Anyhoo all was good after about 4 hours, thanks you guys!

Catherine, sorry bad picture but still cute!

I spent 2 hours making cupcakes and decorating them with Linnie for the Pre-medical society bake sale. All funds go to Nicky's Journey a charity to raise money for children with cancer.

Please read, it is worth the time.

Torturing Myself

I said I would blog after my test Thurs, but I am being so unproductive right now it makes me upset. I am studying for pchem, a class I don't need for a minor I don't need, that doesn't interest me whatsoever. Not only that but its at 8:30 AM, so I wake up at 6 to beat traffic... WHYY, why do I do this to myself. I *gripe (keeping it pg) and moan about this all the time and it's only a third into the semester. Sigh.. it sounded like a good idea at the time...double minoring, but my time and money could be better spent on something else.

Me "studying" but really taking a picture to send the bf to show him how good I was being. I was smiling really cheesy until someone walked by my desk right when the flash went off.. Embarrassing.... I've been studying in a closet in the bio building.

So my second beanie post in 2 weeks, I'm obsessed. I like to wear them on days I wake up superrr early for pchem since I can't really do my hair and also it makes me feel kind of gangster.. or dorky? So many outfit posts, I finally found the right set up, I stack two shoe boxes on top of my chair at it's very highest and ta da. :/ I guess back to studying...

Oh yeah this is my song suggestion :

Kelly Rowland - Rose Colored Glasses

Some Days

Some days everything goes right. Good test scores usually brighten up my day :) I woke up this morning with a full 8 hours of sleep, ate a real meal and had time to put myself together. This is what I wore. I try to dress for how I want to feel. If I'm sick to my stomach I will try to dress a little nicer.

At first I thought this print was too leopardy, but its not too out there. I'm trying to make an effort to add jewelry, since details matter but most of the time I'm really lazy.

I've worn this jacket so many times... I love it. This past weekend has been full of big events (i.e. the bf's birthday, Austin road-trip) that I will blog about after my test Thurs. Time to study for physical chemistry now :)

Black on Grey

Hi. I decided to do something different and not crop my face out of my outfit pictures... the result... cheesy smiles. I am coming down with something the symptoms are there... lack of energy, sniffles, fat face. When I start feeling sick I usually take hour long naps and wake up with the sweats and a swollen round face. Not good, especially considering my cell bio test tomorrow.

Today I dressed for fall, and I don't care that it was 93 degrees today. My classrooms are freezing and like I said I'm sick. haha I'm sure people where wondering why some girl was walking around campus all bundled up. Oh and the knob on my head was from a beanie, no time to do hair today.

Oh yeah and this is my favorite tee-shirt, that I stole from my bf, obviously it doesn't fit him. It was given to him by our friend Jessica from Korea! *hi Jess*
