I’m freaking out a little less now. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Still so much to be happy about!
Freaking Out
I’m usually pretty good about stressing myself out over things that will eventually work themselves out despite my overstressing. But right now I am overstressing. I don’t know what/who/where I will be in a month. I am officially freaking out. Alright, back to the mountain of work I have to do.
Witchy
Went to Salem last Saturday to visit my old roommate. In the words of Andrew Thomas Cole, it was adorbs. I got my tarot cards read for the first time. Verdict? I should eat more bananas and drink less coffee. Well, the last part I already knew, but I didn’t think the tarot card reading would turn into a nutrition consultation. No matter, I still had the best time ever.
My Parents Know how to throw a party
I hope to be just like them when I grow up.

The end of an even better week
I don’t want to jinx anything, but I’m fairly optimistic that the Nashville Predators are going to make it to the second round of the NHL playoffs, which will be the furthest they have ever made it. Fingers crossed.
And even if they don’t, I’m still having a very good week. Even though this weekend will be the first Easter that I will not be spending with my immediate family, I’m still looking forward to it as I get to see both sides of my extended family. And lemon cake, there will be LEMON CAKE!
And at sundown on Saturday there will be ice cream. Ice cream, I have been missing you something fierce.
Dear readers, I am curious if you gave up something for Lent, what it is, and how you will be enjoying it for the first time when Lent is over?
Emma and Becky at the Wedding Expo
Starved for alternative forms of entertainment, my friend Becky and I went to the wedding expo today at Twin River Casino. Since Becky is the only one of us who is in a relationship, she got to be “the bride.” When asked about her wedding date, she randomly chose October 23, 2012, which is a Tuesday. (BTW, you can get crazy deals if you get married on a Tuesday… but then, it’s a Tuesday.)
While in general I had a great time, I do have a few complaints about the expo.
1. The dresses were crap.
2. The DJ circuit has not yet entered this decade.
3. I gave up dessert for Lent, so the only foods I could sample was a meatball and a lobster mac-n-cheese ball. Both delicious, but I don’t plan on having any “ball” foods at my wedding.
4. No mimosas. What is this, amateur hour?
But you guys… I think I found my wedding dress. I seriously think I would look great in this. (Talk about cart before the horse, but that’s alright…)
Ahhhhh, too much fun. I need another friend to get married once I have a job (and thus income) so I can actually do it right this time.
A Saturday Morning at Target
Since I’ve all-but vanquished my ability to sleep in, this morning I decided to go to Target when they opened. Here are some of the gems I found…
Blu-Rays for $5 – wow. Just wow. A selection of movies that really need to be Blu-Rayed. Thank you, Another Stakeout!
Harry Potter movies 1-6 on DVD in a special collector’s set. While I actually have no doubt that they sell quite a few of these, seriously who is buying this??? Why would you but movies 1-6 in a box set, and then have the 7th one (or two) hanging out next to it? I can’t wait for them to put out another collector’s box set for movies 1-7 part 1, and then you just have to pick up part 2.
Books. Lauren Conrad’s Style… I always walk by and think I would really like to have this, and then I never buy it. It’s not that expensive, I don’t know why I leave without it. But today I left without it again. And hey Mortal Instruments series, could you please get better cover art? I want to read you but I would not be caught dead reading you with that cover art. Also I love how everyone wants to get Stephanie Meyer’s endorsement on the cover of their book. Gag me. I think it’s a sign I shouldn’t read them.
The candy aisle. Ugh. You taunt me. This has been the longest Lent ever. All I want is a bowl of ice cream.
And lastly… P-fresh. I heart you. I feel like I’m shopping at a SuperTarget again.
TV to Get Excited About
Now that the Jersey Shore is over for the season, it’s been a very trying time for me and my friends, as we look for another TV show that we can unite weekly over. By fear not, for there are two shows premiering within the next two weeks that are definitely worth getting excited over:
- Extreme Couponing
If you didn’t watch this back when it was just a 1-hour special in December, make sure you watch this Wednesday. It is intense, and oddly inspiring… just makes me want to coupon! - Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution
While watching the first run of this special, I was shocked at how unwilling some people were to accept his free help. I’ll be interested to see how he takes on a city as opposed to a small town.
