Gifts for everyone!!!
Does Matt know me or what? <3 (Taken with instagram)
Merry Christmas all!
My dad stole the show this year. He took things out of our rooms and wrapped them as presents for us. It was absolutely hilarious.
He also bought me a pound of dry salami. Hell yeah!
Now it’s time for bacon, eggs, and all day basketball.
I hope you all are having a nice day with your family and a happy holiday season! <3
Wham! - Last Christmas
As much of a downer as it is, this is hands down my favorite Christmas song
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on


One of my mom’s students (she’s an art teacher) made her Christmas tree earrings, so naturally I stole them. They’re awesomeeee.
Also awesome: the awesome As Tall As Lions shirt I’m wearing that my awesome boyfriend bought me for my birthday.
Also awesome: watching Parks and Recreation on our big 73” TV instead of my 13” laptop because of Netflix instant streaming. Woooooooooooooooooo!

A magical 1:30min of Christmas lights. I can’t even imagine their electric bill!
- I have written 11 of my grad school essays. Exciting.
- Except not really because I still have 12 more to write by the end of the month
- GMAT round 2 studying has begun and I’m so excited about it. Dec 29th is the day
- AT&T sent me a promotion for a $10 credit for signing up for paperless billing which they weren’t supposed to cause I already had it…so long story short, they gave me a $25 coupon to restaurant.com as a thank you for not getting mad. Stoked
- I cannot believe Christmas is in 4 days. It does not feel like Christmas in the slightest
- And I think that’s because Matt comes in 10 days. Ten! TEN!!!!!!!!!
- I’m really jazzed about my new alarm ringtone
- I got a little crazy with the bold button today
Water boiling in the kettle, getting napkins for my daughter, something something fire in the chestnuts
“Pitter Patter on the Rooftop Surprise” by Agent Sparks
This is the most seductive sounding Christmas song
A night of beautiful,
Tonight is mystical
Christmas is already here in Starbucks (Taken with instagram)
