fridayfridayfriday

considering i passed out after i got home from the hours of 5pm to around 9:30pm, this isn't going to be a long post.
today has been a really odd day and i'm still not quite sure to make of it. and taking a nap actually made me feel horrible, because, for one thing, i still haven't done my 750words today and this and... ugh. so i have a major headache.


anyways, here's your fill-in-the-blank friday from lauren at the little things we do.


*the holiday season is something that i both love and dread. it gives me an excuse to bundle up and be cozy, and it also coincides with the beginning of school musical season, and nobody looks at me weird if i drink gallons of hot tea. plus i use it as an excuse to be antisocial and read and write a bunch ;)


*snow makes me um. well. i love it but at the same time, i want every friday in may off. it's beautiful, for sure, and makes for amazing pictures {if i can actually get my ass out there in the cold, which is not something i'm fond of}. it's going to scare the hell out of me when i start to drive in it, and after a while it does annoy me. but at the same time it's sort of romantic...


*the best comfort food to eat when it's cold out is {are} cookies. and hot chocolate with tons of whipped cream. basically anything that's sweet and warm.


*winter is the best time for spending time with family, going ice skating, reading a bunch of books, writing a lot, being cozy and lazy.


*i can hardly wait for a friend's birthday party next weekend. it's going to be a blast and, while it's not anyone from my group of best friends' party, we're all going. and i need the opportunity to spend time with my boys. {and evvie, too, of course. psh.}


*when it comes to holiday gifts i prefer to give and receive. i really like seeing if someone has gotten me something i'll love without having to tell them what i want {my sister ami is notorious for doing this. actually, all of my sisters are pretty damn good at that, and so is my mom. and occasionally judy, too. must be a female thing} and i like doing the same for someone else. it's a sure sign that you really know someone, even if it's just an album or a mix cd.


*if i were to rate my excitement about the holiday season on a scale from 1-10, i would say i am about a 7.25. i'm not as big on holidays as i used to be when i had gramps to celebrate them with, too, but i still love them. even if my dad is a grinch and neither family really does much for holidays, aside from a huge christmas party with my stepfamily. anytime i get off school is welcome, though.

I can not refuse your eyes,
Please don't look at me tonight.
My heart beats fast I know you're there,
And I pretend like I don't care.
It hurts so bad to know the truth,
But I am still in love with you.
