New Years, a game, and my fabulous life!

First and foremost, Happy 2011!

The one thing I hate about New Year's is forgetting to write 2011 on documents/papers instead of 2010. I'll forget for at least a month...I already know! 

I had a great New Years with great friends and we all watched the ball drop in Time Square, drank champagne with frozen berries, soaked up love and laughter, we all kissed our lovies at midnight, and ended the night with a 2 AM hot tub session and a 3:30 AM catch-up session talking about nothingness. It was the best..I missed my roommates so much and once again, it brought me back to college and how much I miss it! But, I am grateful to have them in my life and to grow/love with them forever! :) 

Before we all went out, we pregamed a bit at one of my roommate's houses, and she taught us the FUNNEST game. It wasn't really a drinking game, though we drank anyway :) Here's whatcha do. 

*Each person gets a piece of paper (lined or blank) and 

writes a sentence at the top..the sentence can be anything at all!

*Then, they pass their paper to the person to their right. 

That person has to read the sentence, and underneath it, 

draw a picture that represents the sentence.

*Once they draw the picture, they fold back the sentence so you 

can only see the picture, and pass it to the NEXT person on their right. 

That person then has to write a sentence that they think goes with

the picture the last person drew!

*You keep passing around and folding back the pics/sentences 

until you've gone all around the table. Then when you get yours back,

it's hilarious to see where your sentence went!

I hope you understand the rules and I wasn't too confusing! It was an AWESOME game and I suggest you play it once night with a bunch of friends! And sometimes the pics/sentences get dirty and inappropriate which makes it even better lol!

2010 was so good to me. I loved every minute of it! Even the dreaded weeks of me pulling my hair out and screaming that I couldn't find a job and the dreaded application process and interview process. But I got through it realizing that life wasn't just about finding a job after college and moving onto the real world. Life was about finding good people to help you through situations like that. Life was about living in the moment and I found through 2010 that no matter what happened to me, I had the people there with me..that's all that mattered!

I graduated college.

Lived with the most AMAZING girls anyone could ask for and had the best senior year. Seriously. It was the freakin' BOMB.

I got a real life job with a real life salary!

I went on amazing vacations to Hilton Head, Disney World, and Las Vegas.

And I started this blog..which I had no idea would be such an amazing little place to hear all of your stories, share fun things with, and just grow in my writing. I love it!

Here's to 2011 being just as amazing! Cheers!

xoxo

Money spendin' Diva Extraordinaire

Bonjour Lovelies!

Okay everyone. I need some thoughts on this so I don't feel like I'm crazy.

What do we spend too much/unnecessary money on?

Last night was the premier of Toddlers and Tiaras. Yes I am a sucker for shows like that. Anyway, if anyone watched it last night, there was a family with twin girls who were absolutely adorable (and freakin spoiled rotten) Their parents spend $250,000 A YEAR on their pageants, and their mother prances around in Loubitons and Dior and Prada shoes! So it got me thinking. What do Americans spend too much money on?

I admit I'm guilty of this..as is a lot of people! I spend money on stuff that really doesn't matter, but in the end, makes me happy.

Take this for example. I went into Neiman Marcus one day..just browsing, not really planning on buying anything extravagant, even though a hideous pair of fur lined 500$ jeans caught my eye (Not!) I found these chocolate candy sticks that I used to eat and had to buy them. So I stood in line to buy my candy, while people stood in line buying hundreds of dollars in clothing..yeah that was me!

So anyway, this woman in front of me has a heaping..and I mean heaping pile of clothes in her arms as she is putting them one by one on the desk to be ringed up. But I wasn't focused on the clothes (though I creeped and saw that she spent almost $1300 on her stuff). I was focused on her kid in a stroller. Okay, even further than the kid. I was focused on the damn stroller. I felt like the kid needed a black batman suit to go with this stroller. I was in awe struck at this stroller and saw the name of it on the side 'The Roddler.' Because this woman was taking forever, I had a few minutes to look it up on my phone. Here it is.

It looks like a mix between the bat mobile, a motorcycle, and a Rolls Royce. But boy..this was the Rolls Royce of strollers. I practically fainted when I found the price on my phone. $2,900!!! WHAT!? Lady, you spent that much on a stroller where you're kid was just going to piss and poop and drool and drop food and bang toys on it? I found this ridiculous! I couldn't stop staring at it. I almost wanted to take the kid out and see for myself if it was comfy enough to cost that much. The stroller doesn't even look comfy in the picture. Looks hard as a rock. It probably feels like wood. Or cement. Okay, now I'm just getting angry!

Why do we do this! Like I said, I'm guilty of buying expensive things just because, but why? I understand our children deserve the best, but not $2,900 worth for ONE ITEM that they're in for maybe 2 hours a day if that..especially when that money could go towards buying diapers, food, toys, clothes, or taking baby on trips! But again, this woman just spent a shit-ton on herself, so she must be loaded.

Oh people..I love observing. I cannot help it! I think because I was a journalism major in college, I have a knack for creeping and finding things out and people watching. It's a lot of fun and you definitely learn a lot..even by standing in Neiman Marcus buying candy!

xoxo love all my bloggies!
