Feliz cumpleanos

a mi.
I had a lovely birthday today. Thanks to my fantastic roommate who gave me a fresh box of Reese's Puffs.

 And Ali who gave me a very nice necklace from her mom's store. And Shmam who created an incredible work of art just for me (aw shucks). And TK who bought me fresh-chesta for lunch ;] and the cajillion people who wished me a happy birthday on facebook. I love them all. (If you didn't, you're dead to me.) (Just kidding.) (Kind of.) And the girl who gave me my phone back. And the boy who decided to look really fine while he was sitting next to me. Yeah that was a plus.

Then I spent the evening at my cousin, Nanette's baby shower. I don't think I ever realized the word "cute" could be used so many times during a single event. But I enjoyed it. I have such a beautiful and talented family.

As the cherry on top of a wonderful day, Trevor treated me to a midnight snack (uhh feast) of 50 chicken mcnuggets<3 (Don't be alarmed I only got down 15.) And he thoughtfully stuck a candle in one of them and lit it. :) I adore that boy.

Speaking of candles, it just came to my attention that I got to blow out 3 sets of candles and I didn't make a birthday wish for a single one of them. Do you think I still get one?

you rock.

Late last night I went for a run, but it was disrupted by my realization that my phone had fallen out of my pocket. Therefore it could've been just about anywhere. And despite my best efforts and state-of-the-art ipod backlight to aid me, I couldn't find it. Which, you know, sucked.
But I have some really fantastic news for you! Apparently some nice girl found it and returned it to my RA for me to retrieve when I get back to campus. Since I'm at home today to attend Neal's and Sam's mission farewells (atta boys). That means I won't be stuck using my sucky phone for the next two months which is really a win for everbody quite frankly.

In anticipation of my coming of age

I'm turning 18 on Monday. Next big milestone: the big two-one.
Here's a little preview of that, courtesy of shmam.

Me: Virgin apple martini.
Bartender: Comin right up
Me: Don't you need my ID?
Bartender: Um.. no?
Me: Uh, yeah I think you do.

So apparently.

It would seem Wednesday night is the new official laundry night. Remember when I didn't do my laundry on Sunday cause I thought there was a greater chance of the laundry room being less crowded during the week? Haaaa I'm such a sucker!

Bright side: It rained today. It rained like nobody's business! It was beautiful. And then when it got sunny, the leaves were falling and I was overwhelmed with delight. I LOVE FALL. Besides the fact that it's the season of my birth aka quite possibly the greatest gift to the earth (I'm kidding guys, really.), it's the perfect temperature, the scenery is breathtaking, the best clothing styles come out, Gossip Girl starts again, and if all that isn't enough to tickle your fancy, there's Halloween and Thanksgiving. And i don't know about you but I always welcome an excuse to eat. So there.

And then I watched the season premiere of Glee which, naturally, was outstanding. AND then I went to the gym and this spicy man smiled at me and it was so sexy that it was almost creepy but not quite because he was just that attractive. And while I was on the exercise bike (terrible method for rapid calorie burn; I don't recommend it to anyone) I exchanged words with a nice man named Peter. I consider this a successful day.

Score.

I bought a drumstick from the dorm vending machine and when i went to retrieve it, guess what the heck else i found! Yup, you guessed it: a Butterfinger ice cream bar! That's karma, people. Let this be a lesson to you. Sure it was a little melty, but hey. A couple hours in the freezer. Good as new basically.

I got yet another 4/5 on my accounting quiz and I gotta say I've had quite enough of that. On the bright side, Katy Perry has managed to cheer me right up. Ugh I currently have a lady crush on her. Who can blame me? No one.

If I went to bed right now, I could get like 7 hours of sleep. Haha. Let's be real. That's not gonna happen. Instead I will be studious and read :) Stay gold

Good thing I have a blog or I'd have to find some other way to procrastinate.

I'll have you know, I stepped on no fewer than six crunchy leaves on my way to class this morning. Ladies and gentlemen, I smell fall, and I daresay it is the smell of success.

Maybe it's just me,

Am I the only one who thinks google instant is kind of a waste?
