mondays and moods.

I'm pretty sure this is the best Monday ever!

(knock on wood)

It's only 9:30 am and I'm already having a wonderful day.

Here's why...

1. I woke up in plenty of time to be presentable* for class, and wasn't falling asleep in class! It was one of those days where I woke up completely rejuvenated (which is a rarity now-a-days) and it was so nice!
2. I get to meet Jack's mom today! She's in town to help Jack's sister to move to a house somewhere north? of Decorah and is visiting Jack in the meantime, so I'll get to meet her at some point! (This is exciting because she lives in Oregon, so I was worried that I might NEVER meet her)
3. Track practice tonight shouldn't be too bad! My coach sent me the game plan for today last night in an email, and I'm feelin pretty positive about the practice, and am getting pumped for the dual against Wartburg(our arch rival) on Thursday!
4. I HAVE CHEERLEADING TRY OUTS TONIGHT!! I am so excited! We had a clinic thing on thursday where we got scored on tumbling and stunting which went really well. And the cheer and fight song are going to be judged tonight, so I'm pretty excited!! =]
5. Cinnamon Roll for breakfast... enough said.
6. Paideia lecture= NO CLASS... muahaha!
7. Talked to some good friends from home (Rachenda and E-Loser) and they are gonna come visit me before school gets out! =D
8. I just got an email from my Mom via FB that said that me and my sister get iPhone's as soon as I get in town! We've been planning with my Mom to get new phones for awhile now, but weren't expecting to be getting them until like... August when a bunch of our plans ended. So not only are we probably getting them THIS weekend, but we get to keep our numbers, and I'm PUMPED. AH!

So you can just imagine how effin happy I have been today. And all before 10 am! AH!

Good start to a pretty hectic week. Maybe it won't be as hectic as I thought! Let's pray that things don't take a turn for the worse!

* Sweatshirt, hair not looking a wreck, and JEANS! =D

Listening to- SWITCHFOOT, all of it. Ah gooood stuff

sperry's and straws

So yesterday was the first day I attempted to wear my Sperry's that I got on my Spring Break trip back in the middle of March. I've been meaning to wear them but have been so obsessed with my wonderful $2 target flippy floppy's that I almost forgot about them! But since today was a little chilly, I decided it was the day to try them out. So I chose an outfit that I thought would do them justice.

Sperry's

Target Shorts

F21 Tank

J. Crew Cardigan

Only problem with this outfit(and I actually worried about this before I left), was that it would look like I wasn't wearing pants from behind, because the cardigan is pretty long. Ends up I'm not the only one that thought that, cause one of my guy friends proceeded to point it out after one of my classes... great. Oh well, I still got to wear my Sperry's! And that was the point right?

I decided after taking the first picture that you couldn't see my Sperry's very well and don't

have a surface that was the right level that would show them, so after about 20 different attempts to get a good angle, this is what I settled on.I figured it was the epitome of a college student picture, lofts, desks, fleece blankets, bright colors. You know how it is!

On another note. My roommate tends to get very interesting treats for our room. She is constantly is getting packages from home with baked goods and candy and coffee and all sorts of other stuff. Today, she offered me a straw that makes your regular 2%, skim, or whatever white milk you have, chocolate. So I tried it out and it was absolutely delicious!

Here's what the straw looked like, it was cinched on the sides so that it could hold in the little chocolate balls that reminded me of cocoa puffs.

(And don't judge my mug, I'm in college =P )

And here is me being pleasantly surprised by how good it was!

I want them, all day every day.

Seriously...

They were that good :)

You need to try them out. I'm not sure what they're called, but I'm sure you could find them. Or who knows, maybe on your next birthday you'll get them from me... that is, if I know you, and love you, and you're not lactose intolerant. Cause then they would be a little pointless =/

Oh! Thought I'd throw this in. I got distracted from taking pictures of my outfit, so here is me loving Edward who is conveniently placed to intimidate my boyfriend when he is sitting on my futon with me. :)
