Martha Stewart in the House!

So I've decided to take some time and actually try to have a "vacation". And by that, I mean, much hasn't changed. I have however changed out of my sweatpants a few times and showed myself in public. Much improvement! But other than that, I am still doing a lot of laying around watching Criminal Minds from the very beginning because Matthew Gray Gubler has climbed pretty far up my list of nerds that I would love to get to know. And hold conversations. About nerd things. And stuff.

.....

Anyway, when I do get away from Criminal Minds, it's mainly because the videos aren't loading fast enough on my computer so I have to take a Pinterest break. When this happened, I glanced upon a treat that looked too scrumptious to pass up. AND because I have unlimited amounts of time, I decided to try this out. I felt like a younger less pre-felony/"hatred to the general public and my own children" Martha Stewart when I made a pull apart cinnamon bread dessert and icing dip. It was great other than the fact that I got about one bite's worth.

 I told you I'm a little bit of amazing....

Last night I ventured out into what is known as Fondle Sack (aka Fond du Lac) for the very first time. It was...interesting to say the least. I think I will forever appreciate Menomonie bars. Yes folks, I found something worse. HOWEVER 1 dollar domestic bottles and ladies night rail drinks on Fridays as this little place called Ziggy's. I mean, we'll see how often I go there. But I did get to catch up with people I feel like I haven't talked to in approximately 3 years. Give or take a few. 

Today I spent a lovely amount of time in the Princeton Farmer's Market. It. Was. Beautiful. Other than the fact that my goal of losing 15lbs this summer was quickly washed down the drain when all I bought was food. The Amish have a way to my heart with their yummy cookies and bread. Damn them! We also spent some lovely time in Ripon where I was able to do a little vintage shopping (and not at a thrift store! Strange!) at a little boutique. I only bought a necklace. Don't worry I'm not going crazy! We may have hit up Target after and I might have divulged in my past love of $2 crossword scratch-offs. Weakness. Every once in awhile I relapse. I lost. It was worth the thrill.

Who doesn't love pajamas...

So I haven't stayed at home in le village for a period of more than a week since my freshman year. I've realized I'm an idiot. Summer has only been going on for approximately 5 days and I've already done nothing with my life and I love it. I'm finally catching up on all the sleep I've missed out on the 4 years I've been in school. I'm taking a minor work break before I start working on that tan that will never come whilst gardening for my parental units. My favorite part of the summer thus far is never having to change out of my pajamas. I'm still keeping up with my hygiene, however, nothing is more comfortable than a 3pm nap in your pajamas while watching marathons of Say Yes to the Dress and Criminal Minds. Don't ask me why I've chosen those two. I do however, have a new love of my life. Matthew Gray Gubler - super nerd, super sexy. He has a way to my soul with his nerd glasses and intelligent speak ;)

Crap. Forgot about finals...

So, the fashion show is over. It was lovely. My models rocked it! In fact, one of my models won the Best Female Model award and another one was nominated. I like to think my clothes had a little something to do with it ;). My mother and lovely sister came to support and watch my show. It was great to see them, and anyone familiar, because it's been about 2 months. It was a fabulous time. The three of us shared the futon which was an experience in and of itself. I'm not the correct length to sleep the short way, that's all I'm saying. We went out to eat SO much which I'm definitely okay with getting real meals. It was so great. I finally went to Zanzibar after 4 years of being here at le Stout. I had a glorious martini and some pasta. Yum. Too good. They also gave us a free dessert for moving tables. Definitely worth it. I finished all my projects and only have one final left. It's weird to think that this year, my Senior year, is almost over. I should be graduating but I love Stout way to much to leave it after 4 years. Gotta give it one more great year. I've also had some nerd love come my way. I've fallen even more deeply in love with Marvel. What I mean is, I went to see the Avengers movie after waiting for it for about 2 years now. IT. WAS. AMAZING! I would be willing to marry any of those men and have any amount of their babies. Done. They  make me so happy. I was very please with the tone of the film as well. There were nerd jokes in it. Superheroes making fun of LOTR. Too good. Now I just have to wait until the Amazing Spiderman comes out this summer and then Iron Man 3 and Thor 2...and Avengers 2.....Ah! The anticipation of nerd. I live a hard life. First world problems. 

Mi Modelas looking fabulous!

Who needs sleep anyway....

I'm am so ready for summer. It's bittersweet. I want summer to come so I can do nothing but sleep and garden with my mother. However, the faster summer comes, the closer my project due dates are and that I am not excited for. These next two weeks are going to be hectic. I still don't know when I can move into my new apartment. I really want that to come! I've been pulling all-nighters left and right. My stuff is looking spectacular but sleep is a beautiful thing. I knitted a sweater dress the other day. It looks lovely (pictures will come in a few days). I'm also designing an accessories line and I LOVE IT! The fashion show, in which I am one of many designers, is tomorrow. I am stoked! I turn into a little girl as soon as I see my stuff on the runway. As far as I know people like it so yay! This weekend was interesting. I went to the Pickle Promo Party and I was by myself for some time. I look super lame. BUT, there was free beer so I made myself useful. Finally some ladies arrived and we played beer pong. Now, I never really got into the whole college party thing so I suck at pong. I am much better at tippy cup because that mainly involves drinking fast and that's my thing. Beer Pong involves hand-eye coordination. I don't have that apparently, until I'm a little drunk. I got much better as the night went on. Anyway, by the time 10pm rolled around I was feeling really good about myself. People had showed up and were having a great time on our behalf. From there I finally made an appearance at the Waterfront for the first time EVER! I don't know how this happened to late in the game because it is my joint! I am not sure how many times I told someone they have a spectacular mustache/beard. I was minorly ridiculous in the best way possible. Anyway, I had a wonderful time. My was accompanied by my little ginger drinker and we've decided to frequent that arena more often together! Until then I will continue to work on more projects on very limited sleep. I get to see my mother and sister this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to finally see someone in my family for over a month. Once Monday is over, I will finally breathe a little more. Only one project after that and then I'm in my Super Senior year! Can't wait...

The game I helped win....Booya!
8:30 at the Pickle...gross...
