Going to the Galleria in half an hour.
Thats one more thing to cross off my list to do :)
Im invited to go to Six Flags on Saturday but its like 35 dollars and im not sure i want to go crazy spending money :/  We'll see what happens.

Galleria is so pretty.
(Stock photos)

I really need to do my homework :/

Glee!

All caught up on Glee now :D
Its amaaaazing!

Went to Fry's today hoping to be able to play DJ Hero but APPARENTLY they've taken it down some time in the past week or so.  That pissed me off :/

Afterwards Aivy and Alexis came over and we chilled.  Then we went to Miller park again and filmed things for our music video.
Haha, we looove making music videos.
This one is to Tik Tok by KeSha.  Exciiited.
So far its suuper funny.  But not done.
I'm counting this as CAS ;)

The Fame Monster

Oj.  I love this cd.  Soooo much.

So yesterday I volunteered at the animal shelter.  Fun fun.

Today I called Aivy and we decided to go out for lunch and then head over to the dollar theatre.  After all, its Tuesday.  We both commented on how everyone in IB had such huge hopes and planned on applying to like NYU, Cornell, Brown, Stanford, SMU...And now everyones going to like UTD, UNT, or A&M.  Usually because of money issues...

So yeah, we had IHOP for lunch.  I had a grilled chicken caesar salad :) Yuuumm.  Haha and aivy had pancakes.  I wanted to.  I was going to get the New York Cheesecake Pancakes with the fresh strawberries and whipped cream...but it made my stomach hurt just thinking about it.  so i went with the salad.

Oh my goodness.  And then we watched Law Abiding Citizen.  It was like a cross between my understanding of Saw and Inside Man.  It was suuuper good.  Intense.

Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler were amazing :)

It was snowing when we got out of the theatre so we went home and picked up some extra jackets and went to Miller Park :D  FUn stuff.  They taught me how to do the stanky legg :P fuuun funn.  and the running man.  and jerking.  hahaha we had fun on the basketball court in the snow.

Afterwards we got too cold so we went to Alexis's house to have hot chocolate!

Haha (clockwise starting at the bottom left): Alexis's, Aivy's, Mine.

The Zoe-ster

Had a huge scare yesterday when Zoe got some form of indigestion.  Spent half the evening waiting for her to poop.  Constipation is one of the leading causes of death in rabbits.  Sounds awful but it's true and we love Zoe so much, we were genuinely concerned.

Woke up this morning (after a suuuper weird dream) to Jenny going "SHE POOPED!"
Probably one of my more relieved moments in life.

We've been relaxing lately.  Christmas was nice but now we've got to y'know...take it easy.  We cleaned the house a bit today and finished a puzzle that we received from my uncle i julklapp.  Then we went to Chili's.  Omg.  Soooo goood.  Chili's is definitely one of my top 3 favorite restaurants ever.  Unfortunately, they've redone their menu so my favorite meal (Cajun Chicken Alfredo with Fettucini) has been replaced with Cajun Pasta (with Penne).  Not as good.  I ended up getting the Country Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob.  Looks exactly like this: (webphoto)

Super good ;)

2 of my most favorite artists ;)

That Was Christmas.

 

The day before Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

(First snow on Christmas Eve in Dallas ever recorded)

Haha me and my brother used toothpicks and mini-marshmellows over a candle

It was a miniature campfire :P

Omg I'm so grateful.  My family knows me too well.  3 CDs (all that I've been dying to buy but havent had the funds to do), a new battery for my laptop, new earphones, and gloves since the stupid cheap ones i bought in stockholm already broke.  The purse and clothes were from my mom :D

Haha and then 500:- for next summer when my sister comes to visit.

I think this was the most presents i've ever gotten for christmas :P

But as great as all of those were, I think the white christmas was the best gift of them all.

Of course, we do live in Texas so it was gone around 2pm the next day.  But just that it snowed was so amazing.

I hope everyone else had a fantastic christmas as well and hopefully New Year's Eve will be loads of fun as well ;)

I should start planning.  I'm really interested in going to the Big D NYE thing.

Suuuuper interested.

I mean, hockey, live music, food, fireworks.

That sounds pretty fan-freakin-tastic.

Being home has made me reconsider (yet again) where I'm going to be next year.  Laos, Kenya, Umeå, Dallas?
