Merry Merry Christmas!

Christmas is almost here!

This year I have actually gotten to spend quality time with friends. Cara is leaving for the South of France in a few days. :( So I am really glad we have gotten to go on a few adventures in the past few days. We were able to pick up our pottery today from Pail of Paint in Starkville. All the pieces turned out so nice! Tomorrow Janie & I will continue our tradition of going to see a movie on Christmas Day. Last year we went to see Les Mis. This year I think we might be seeing Saving Mr. Banks. I absolutely adore Walt Disney & Mary Poppins, so I know it will be lovely! 

Speaking of Disney movies....After Wassail Fest last week, Cara and I went to go see the new movie, Frozen. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS. I can't get "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman" out of my head. If you haven't seen Joey Richter's reenactment of it, please check it out.. I put it in my Christmas Playlist on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG__TDO206XY8igfFKE7HcYJe70jMZW8A&feature=mh_lolz

Christmas isn't all about the presents, but a lot of my babies surprised with really thoughtful gifts. It's nice to feel appreciated every once in a while. They weren't crappy gifts either. I don't know how the parents knew what I love, but they did! I received a coffee cup gift set, Country Chic lotion & spray from B&BW, Puppy Chow, a purse, fun socks, money, and homemade jelly. I don't really mean to brag, but those are all things I love. Maybe it was a God's way of telling me to keep up the good work. 

But my favorite part of Christmas is being able to spend time with friends. Whether we are baking cookies, watching movies, talking about life, or even just reminiscing, time is the BEST present anyone could give. It can't be bought or returned. Make sure to spend time with your loved ones. Cliche I know, but it really is good for the soul. 

The Attic, in Columbus, had gotten Elvis and Priscilla to make a special appearance at Wassail Fest. 

I made enough Reindeer Noses to fill 18 Mason Jars. It was definitely worth it.

Meet Pirate.

He has been my boyfriend for at least 7 years now. Cara just doesn't realize how sweet her dogs are. :) 

I got this little happy in the mail from Taylor! Bath bombs are one of my new favorites. THANK YOU, TAY!

Thanks Pail of Paint! 

Mom & Joey know what I like. I need to start buying more records for my collection. 

This kid is going places. 

The feels.

Big, this picture is beyond words. I love it. May I frame it?

My Bucket List

There was a guy who was in my graduating class that was recently killed in a car accident. We weren't close, but the thought of him dying so young makes me sick to my stomach. I know he isn't the first to die young, but he is the first that I have personally had to go through. Cara, Janie, and myself decided to go to the visitation tonight. We probably waited almost two hours just to hug his family. It was so heart breaking to see his family in so much pain. I have been thinking about this all week. There are so many things I want to do before I kick the bucket. If I never get around to then all, that's fine, but I at least want to try.

• Travel to New York. While I am there I plan on having a picnic in Central Park and seeing at LEAST 2 Broadway shows.
• Grow a pineapple.
• Watch all 33 Marilyn Monroe movies. 
• Be kissed underneath the mistletoe. 
• Go to a book signing.
• Attend a Sara Bareilles concert.
• Go to London for a Harry Potter Tour. If this ever does happen, I will more than likely be dressed as Luna. 
• Have a Manicure/Pedicure day with the girls. It would be my first Mani/Pedi!
• Move into an apartment with a friend. 
• Go skydiving. 
• Visit San Francisco again and REALLY experience it. 
• Fall in love in Paris. It doesn't have to be with anyone. I could fall in love with the weather or scenery. 
• I would love to work in the media somehow. 
• Buy a new camera. 
• Make YouTube videos. 
• Visit 221 Baker Street. 
• Take pictures with all my favorite characters at Disney World or Disneyland. 
• Own a Mac Laptop.

There are so many more things that could be added to this list. I honestly just want to travel more. Someone help me find a job that would pay me to go to different cities to stay in different hotels. I could also watch movies for a living. Anything that has to do with the entertainment business really, it fascinates me. 

I just want to start doing more things that make me happy.

What's on your bucket list?
