Couple Crush

I think it is totally acceptable to have a crush on a couple. And today I am sharing that my couple crush is none other than Travis and Erin. Every time I read a story about something they did together I throw up a little in my mouth from the utter cuteness and thoughtfulness and fun that they have! I adore that after however many years it has been that they still have that adventurous spirit in their relationship and I strive to be like them!

Red, red, wiiiiiiiiiine

Twenty-one brings many beautiful things. It brings the ability to stay in bars past midnight. It allows me to try all the fruity drinks on the menu. But I think my favorite thing it does by far is that it brings my nightly glass of red wine to me. I LOVE red wine. Not in like a crazy drink a bottle a day kind of thing but after rehearsal I really enjoy curling up with some good TV or my computer and sipping a glass of red wine. They say that it is good for my heart and I won't argue. So as I type this, I have been sipping on my glass from the bottle from my Easter basket and feeling uncontrollably sophisticated in the process. Blogging and wine. I'm so COOL!

Thursday Blunders

I didn't have class yesterday. I barely had class Tuesday and Monday my class was taught by this incredible deaf actor so it was more fun than class. So Thursday comes along and I have a project due and two full classes each two hours long followed by four hours of rehearsal and producer petitions for an hour and a project after that so my evening is ending at 11:30 when I get to go home and start all my work watch some TV. It has been a long day. But there have been some fabulous things...

1. Quesadillas. Quesadillas are fantastic and portable and warm. So today when I was running very late after throwing together the last part of my project I was able to toss some of Carlos' (Theta's Chef) Quesadillas on a paper plate and run to acting. They were steak and cheese and pepper with guac and I could not be happier. 
2. Sailor Dress. I bought this dress for $5 from Urban with Lo Haines last Christmas during one of their fantastic sales. It is see-through and short and gaps at my breastises but I always get complimented when I wear it and it always makes me feel so preppy and reminds me of home a bit. 



This is the dress. Though this is not me.


3. Text Messages. Ray sent me a text asking me how my day was going but the way he phrased it was so cute that it made me smile even though it was short and simple. Those are special things. 
4. Friends. While it was yesterday's event, I can't help but loving when Lo, Erin, and I all are having the same kind of day at the same time and all decide to tell each other at the same time. That is a kind of connection people spend their lives looking for. I have found my soulmates in my best friends and that is really incredible. 
5. Rehearsal. The show is really coming together. We open in a week and a day and I actually feel like we will be ready for it. I enjoy going and relaxing and loving on my castmates.

While there are other things that are fun and exciting (y'all should really check out the iPhone game Triple Town)  these five really made my day survivable even after relaxing all week.

Oops

Guys. I am a really terrible blogger. I just go through these phases where it is a hassle or I am just not in the right mindset or I just don't have time. Well... I don't really feel like it now either but I am bored and stuff is happening.

So. I had a birthday... I like being 21. ERIN!!! Catch up to me and Lo so we can play like adults this summer!

a Mai Tai I ordered. legally. yeah!

This weekend has had beautiful thunderstorms and I have played in them with friends!

When I came back to Evanston from Dallas we went to Dave & Busters for my first time and I hit jackpot on TWO games!

Ray and I did a puzzle. I forget how nice it is to sit down with no technology and just be with someone.

My easter basket had wine this year. JJ's had whiskey. We were both pleased.


So there are a bunch of pictures of my life. On top of that, I am applying to be both a tour guide and on DM exec right now so we will see what comes of that. And I think I caught y'all up on the world!

Back To Heavenston

Well... This long weekend has been lovely. I have gotten more sleep than I will probably get all quarter so that is an upside. Bonus, I got this dress yesterday... downside is mommy won't let me take it back to school because she thinks I will ruin it. So boo... But I also got a maxi dress and that is allowed so yay!

I packed today. i always seem to take back more than I bring home so I am taking back two bags instead of one... oops...kinda... I tried packing in a new style. Here is a video from the interwebs that demonstrates it. I'm not sure if it really worked or if the amount of clothes I was packing would've fit anyway. But I am sticking to it!

I painted my nails:

And here is a pic of my haircuts:

Looks like I'm ready to head home!!! Just got to make my bed...

Big D

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't bummed that my Disney World spring break plans had to be bailed on because of poor girl problems but the wonder that is home is SO good.

First off, I get my hair done tomorrow which is the best feeling after a Chicago winter. I know Elsa will be mad at me and yell about taking better care of it and trimming it more often but the truth is she loves my loyalty to her the same way I love that I barely have to say anything to her for her to get my hair right. It is the mutual understanding that my hair has to be one way and that is that.

Secondly, I will eventually see Lauren and Erin. While napping won out today... I will win tomorrow!!!

Thirdly, new bras. Bras are expensive. My parents consider bras a necessity. Therefore, I get to buy new ones with them so it is practically like getting bras for free!!! Also, I have actually been feeling some back pain from the lack of support my old ones have been giving me.

Fourthly, family. Mexican food is my family's way of telling me they love me. So with each bite of my Mariano's steak fajitas I could feel the love.

Lastly, crafts, Crafts with glitter. Crafts with sorority letters. Crafts.

Why does photo booth only print in reverse?!?!

this is for my birthday which is coming up. made on an old button from an old friend from our old high school drill team...

One heart. One love. One dream.

I have never been more overwhelmed in my life. There are too many people to thank for this experience. I am going to miss it so much. It has been so much of my last 4 months. Below is a picture of Ned and I after the final total was revealed and we had raised over $1.1 million for those kids. They have such a spark that I wish I saw in more people nowadays. I love what Dance Marathon stands for and what it does for this university. Thank you Exec, DM and Ned for being with me for 30+ hours, I love y'all!
