- Since my last post about my lack of holiday spirit, M came up with the idea to have a girls sleepover filled with holiday cheer. It's happening tonight, and I actually have to say, I'm excited.
- Because a ton of my FB friends were commenting on Jersey Shore, I watched it online today. And I laughed at all of them the entire time. Seriously, I can't believe these people actually exist. And no, I won't be watching it again. Unless I need a laugh.
- I've had two alums from my program find me either on Twitter or through e-mail. They all want advice on how I got my job and blah blah blah. I really have no idea what to tell them. I don't even like my job anymore. But I'll try my best to come up with something.
- I'm going to the mountains next weekend for a retreat and I'm excited!
- My dad is coming home from China forever in like less than two weeks.

Because I don't wanna think...
We all know how much I don't like thinking. So that's why you're getting bullets today. Deal with it.

My BFF
*****Hey ya'll, this is guest post #1 by my NYC favorite Linda...HOLLA!*******
Courtney asked me to guest-blog while she was away in China, and I was happy to help. I currently blog for 8Asians.com, and I used to have a Xanga. Anywhosers.
It’s absolutely fitting that my first post here be about how Courtney and I met. We were in a few classes together in college freshman year, but I don’t think I really got to know her until sophomore year. We were brought together by mutual friends, Nikki and Gwen. Back in college, I had a different rotating group of four friends each year. Someone always rotated in or out. Courtney was in that rotation for my last two years in college, along w/ Sarah and Gwen.
I don’t remember how we started hanging out. I think we started chatting on IM, and we’d run into each other at the dining hall or something. We always brought our own Tupperware for takeout.
Courtney and I have an inside joke. It came about when we were hanging out in my room senior year. We were on my computer talking to this guy Rob she knew who lived in my building. Courtney had talked about him before so I wanted to see what he looked like (besides just on Facebook). So I made Courtney ask him if we could visit, and he said sure, he just needed a minute. Before Courtney could stop me, I took the laptop and IMmed him, “Are you getting dressed?” We started laughing at picturing him naked. When we went downstairs, we couldn’t knock on his door right away, because we were laughing too hard. Ever since, we have called him Nekkid Rob.
I have a picture on my desk that I look at every once in a while. It’s me, Sarah, Gwen and Court. We are in the Lawrinson lounge on Super Bowl Sunday. Sarah is holding an Eagles pennant and Gwen, who is obsessed w/ the team as well, was wearing an Eagles T-shirt and hat. I am carrying the Donovan McNabb bobblehead doll Gwen loaned me. That was a really fun night of watching the Super Bowl together. I think of them every year during the big game.
On my last night in college, I celebrated with my old roommate Stephanie and Courtney. The three of us met up for Chinese food and Insomnia Cookies, where Steph worked. Those cookies were right out of the oven and warm and delicious. Afterwards, me and Court went back to my room and looked around. Almost everything was packed. It was sad to see how empty it was. Court and I were both wearing Syracuse sweatshirts, and we took a couple of pictures for old times’ sake.
College wasn’t that long ago, but it feels long ago. Still, Court and I have kept in touch, talking nearly every day on Google chat. She has come to visit me in NY, and we went to Paris together. She is one of my best friends, which can be hard because she’s so far away. She’s the person I tell everything to, and she knows she can do the same with me. :)

Care Package for One
I remember how cool it was to get mail while I was in college. Half the time my mailbox was empty; the other half it was filled with spam, but on those times that I did get a letter from Grandma or a package slip--those were the best.
My brother is a sophomore in college and is attending Northeastern State University--yes the same one that Carrie Underwood went to. He's on a soccer scholarship. I didn't send him anything last year, but this year I'm determined to send him a care package. Granted, I meant to send it last month, but as the saying goes, better late than never, right?
I called him to get some guidelines of what he would like, so here's the list:
Anything else I'm forgetting?

- Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
- Tortilla Chips
- Queso dip
- Double-stuffed Oreos
- A CU t-shirt
- A pair of Skull Candy headphones
- A Carls Jr. gift card (compliments of mi madre)
Anything else I'm forgetting?
