a little crush

As most of you know, I am now a MadMen junkie.  Within the past two months, I have successfully watched 2.5 seasons and caught up with the show {to be honest, I think I caught up in two weeks but who's counting and I had swine flu?}  So throughout this process, I have become quite the fan of January Jones and Jon Hamm.  If you haven't seen the show... where have you been? And they both very much resemble a modern day Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. Bottom Line: they are dashing!

owloween withdrawal

Lastnight, I had "owloween" withdrawal.  I was envious of everyone that got to dress up in a ridiculous costume and hang out with their friends for the night.  I missed the amish costumes, the robots, the jamaican bobsled team, the goths... and all those c. vines costumes.  So friends, what are you being for halloween? Right now my top contender is Taylor Swift due to the fact that I love her and I will take any excuse to wear a sparkly silver dress and cowboy boots... Thoughts? Ideas are welcome.

Happy Owloween! hoot hoot

sitting around our apartment {sorry roomie}

studying. {test on thursday in marketing}so...

i will be trying to find this in a size 14 kids.

dallas cowboys game

i was skeptical at first but...

last semester blessings

my little brother. christmas 2008

he pretty much tops the list.

i am so thankful that we have gotten

to hang out this semester.

he just seems so much older this year!

just because:

No matter how crazy things are...

REMAIN LIKE A DUCK.

Calm on the outside.

Paddling like hell underneath. 

*just because its been that kind of week. 

and on another note:

NYLON MAGAZINE!

wild thing, i think i love you

TONIGHT at MIDNIGHT! 

i will not be seeing it at that time but 

i will see it this weekend if i feel better.

i love the tag line and the movie posters, 

"there's one in all of us."
in my opinion, this is one of the best 
marketing campaigns for a movie that i 
have seen in a really long time.  kudos producers!
new york even experienced where the wild things are
movie week with activities all over the city. 
i couldn't find anything like that in college station-
and another point goes to the big apple.

Obama in Aggieland

He is here in Texas!

{not in Austin, in College Station}

Roads are closed. Airports are on lockdown.

Only the "cool important people" have been invited.

not me.

I pray that people are not idiots tomorrow.

I can only imagine the stunts that some

people (conservative republicans) here are thinking of...

Dear college students, please please please

do not embarrass our university. 

We are already known as the the 

number one conservative school 

in the nation... Lets be smart Aggies!

Welcome to Aggieland, Mr President.
