Read it, then go back and re-read verses 1-5. It could change your life.

Not 100% happy with this one, I might go back and play around some more.

Two cool cats

So it's time to take my picture of the day, and I had an idea in my head, so I walk out of my room to start doing it, when I see my cat just perfectly laid out in the middle of the floor. I decided it was to perfect of a scene to pass up, so I put on some shades and worked it out.

Check out the stink eye, haha she's so funny. Just don't mess with her, she'll take you out!

Thrifty Coffee!

After starting my day right with "Noga" (What my roommate calls the Christian Yoga class) somehow in the afternoon it got turned around. I knew I needed to change my attitude, and quick if I wanted to get anything done today, so I stopped by a thrift store right down the road for a little shopping therapy. I went specifically looking for cool things to wear for a self-portrait. I had such a great time exploring that treasure cove of stuff. I found wedding dresses, but old wedding dresses, with lace/puffy sleeves. And they were only 25 bucks! I wanted to buy one and do another Trash the Dress session. But I don't have the money, so I consoled myself by trying on two ridiculously fabulous 80s party dresses and then two modern dresses I would actually wear out if they didn't have stains on them. I almost bought one, but bought a hat instead. That is going to be an epic picture I'll take soon. Get excited. :) If I ever get some money for my creative endeavors I'm so going to go back there and buy a few more things as props and costumes (hint hint).

(Check out the sleeves!)

So after this I went back to the apartment to do homework. Amy and Patrick were watching a movie so I finished that with them and then we put in Mr. Bean's Holiday. Words cannot express how much I adore that movie. I could watch it over and over again, it never gets boring. 

 Last, I took a trip out to this great little coffee shop to hang out with a random dude I met on the bus my sophomore year here. He's an online writer and my junior year I happened to read one of his articles and commented on it. He remembered me and we started talking through twitter and facebook about different aspects of Christianity. Well, he came back to school this semester, so we wanted to actually meet up face to face. Worked out really well, we covered a lot of topics and had some really great conversation. It's so awesome when you become friends with someone over social media and it still translates over to real life. 

*Note, I might post some 80s dress pictures on Flickr, not sure yet though. 

What happens when...

Your hair gets a trim? It can actually live again! I got my hair cut by Brittney and the entire time she was like, "Beth, it's breathing now. It can actually breathe!" Yes, I was pretty much killing my hair by not properly caring for it. Swimming a lot over break also did not help. But it's much better now and I give her mad props for her skillz. If anyone at my school needs to get their hair cut I cannot recommend her enough!

Directly after meeting with Brittney at her dorm I had to walk back to North campus because I was ushering at the Opera tonight. It was really funny, everyone did a great job. I freakin' love Opera so much.  I had really wanted to be in the Opera this year, but decided I didn't have time for it. Now I'm kind of regretting it. Oh well. My friends performing in it were awesome!

Rushed.

Today, was a rush day. I had a hard time getting out of bed, I had a quick lunch with an old roommate (Love you Sarah!), got stuck in traffic and couldn't find a parking spot. Then I was supposed to have shot a video today, but because I couldn't get to school on time due to there being no parking, the camera guy left and the other girl who was supposed to be in it asked me to reschedule. I should have called to let them know about the traffic, I wasn't thinking. Oh well. Hopefully we can work this out and do it on Wednesday instead.
Anyway, I've been running around for most of the day, getting things done and working on homework. So my picture today is pretty basic, and completely different from the one I took yesterday. For starters, it was warm, and I was able to have my jacket off. Second, instead of the winter wasteland location, I was in my school's parking lot, about to change to go to the gym. Thank God for sun flare!

It's a snowing out there!

Wooo got out of school early because of the snow! It was an easy day anyway, but I went back to the apartment and watch Beauty and the Beast with my roomies. It was nice. Now we are all being super quiet and working on homework, with praise music in the background. What a great day. And I just got a text from a friend saying if school is canceled for tomorrow then he is going to walk over for a coffee/study day. Just gotta say, I love snow!

LOVE IT! Yes, I was super cold, I forgot my gloves... but I think it was worth it. 

So what do you think about snow? What are the best ways you spend a snow day?

*On a more serious note, please be praying for Egypt. There is some very scary stuff going on right now, with the police beating, shooting with rubber bullets, and tear gassing the people who are protesting. Twitter was blocked for awhile, and there is talk of blocking facebook so people can't organize as well. A revolution is happening, and I hope that only good things come out of it. 

Gym day

The only time I left my apartment today was to go to the gym. I was definitely working on stuff, I just didn't have to leave my room, so I didn't. It was nice. Very peaceful, and Lauren cooked up soft tacos for lunch, so that was amazing. I'm mad jealous of her cooking skills... but as the same time I don't want to put in any of the hard work that she has had to to gain those skills. Such is life. You get what you put in.

I took this while waiting for my aerobics class to start. It was worth the wait, but I was so bored before going in!
