Make way 2009: Twenty Ten is on your tail!

   Twenty Oh Nine was a big year for me, however cliche that sounds. In February my boyfriend of two and a half years and I broke up. In March I turned the big One-Eight. May rolled around and I started dating Hunter and graduated high school with Honors. The summer was full of firsts, like finally getting my driving license! Once Fall was here, I was enrolled at university and diving headfirst into college. Four classes and much procrastination later, I came up with straight A's. (Applaud here!) I worked my tail off at the flower shop doing deliveries and trying to make enough money to fund my less than swanky lifestyle. And now, it's already halfway through Winter Break, can you believe it? My new laptop and Grand Am are just two of the highlights of this vacation. But tomorrow night? Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve already. When I look back I realize that this year flew by me. Proof of this? Just look at my status updates from Facebook:

   My point is, this year was so exciting. So many things occurred and I was put into tons of new, weird situations. It definitely feels like Oh Nine was a learning experience, to say the least. Through it all, I've managed to come out on top and become a better person.
   What will Twenty Ten hold for me? I do not know, but whatever is in store will be worth it. I'm already planning ahead for the new year: five college courses, Spring Break, Hunter's Graduation, Maymester courses, work work work, the summer trip to Boulder, Sophomore year in August. I'll probably be busier than ever, but 2009 has prepared me for whatever comes my way. Here's to a fabulous new year! XOXO.

Psstt.. Pass it on

  I bought the StarbucksLove CD at Starbucks a few weeks ago for Mamma and we absolutely love it! (No pun intended..) We also went on the website and made our own cute little pictures for the campaign. I may or may not find those again and share with you all.

  But without further ado, I must share with you one of the coolest videos of the year:



  How amazing is this!? A friend on Facebook posted it and (of course) I had to see what the deal was. And boy oh boy am I glad I did. This year was surprisingly a really good year in music I think. How about you dollface? Agree or disagree? Think about it: Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Kings of Leon, and Beyonce all in the Top 25. It was such a unique year for musical talents. There were so many different types of popular songs and I LOVE! when that happens. My musical taste is pretty eclectic, so it was a fabulous year for me.

  OH! And PS: MY DADDY AND SUZ BOUGHT ME A NEW CAR FOR CHRISTMAS! It's a gorgeousss Pontiac Grand Am in Bronze and I adore it. We got it registered today and technically I will be able to drive it at 12:01AM tonight when the insurance kicks in. I'm pretty tired, so I'm just gonna drive it out to the boyfriend's in the morning for breakfast with him (before he heads out to Miami to see Phish).

XOXO

Live Your Life

  Class of 2009's song was Live Your Life by TI and Rihanna. I must admit, I was disappointed at first. Really?! We're gonna have a song about "paper chasers" with the Numa Numa song stuck in there randomly as our class song? For real? That's what we want to be remembered for? Ehh, oh well. I hated it for awhile, but have finally come to terms with the poor song. I figure that I might as well like it since it's not gonna change. When it came on the radio the other day, I actually turned the volume up rather than down.
  All of this thinking about Senior Songs made me start thinking about Senior Prom. That night was possibly one of my best moments in all of high school. My outfit was amazing. It was unique, gorgeous, my favorite colors, and I never wanted to take it off. I felt like a Barbie doll. Or a giant cupcake!

  Look how flouncy my skirt is! And how big my silk corsage is! It was honestly an amazing ensemble to wear. Mamma found the dress at Ross for under 40$. The shoes were found by my stepmom, Suz, for around 30$, the corsage Mamma made for under 10$, ditto with the necklace. I had already owned the pink tutu that I wore underneath my dress. Overall, I spent much less that 100$, and it turned out to be my favorite outfit of all time.
  On top of feeling like a Princess, I was finally realizing that I liked the Mister. I wish I had gotten more pictures of us, because we both looked really cute.

  Before he realized that all that dancing with him and sitting next to him and whatnot was actually me falling in love with him. It would take us another week before we actually starting texting every day, and then a couple more before we took the plunge.

But just look at those sunglasses! They're gorgeous baby girl pink and heart shaped and I insisted on wearing them indoors for most of the evening. Finally, I leave you with the first Polyvore post I did, which is basically a repeat of my lovely Prom '09 clothes.
