Thursday Thoughts!

Whoa whoa whoa, when was the last time I did a Thursday Thoughts? Pretttty sure it was November, since I was just reading that post a minute ago trying to remember what I called my Thursday column...LOL! 

I've been itching to blog all day, but with a million chores and errands to do, along with having the puppy trainer come over, I've been one busy stay at home dog mom. Seriously. This entire week I've been getting up 4 times a night with this little angel....

^ that's Sunny, and we brought her home exactly 2 weeks ago today! Getting a puppy has been a dream of mine for as long as I could remember, and this summer all of the pieces finally fell into place for my family and we brought this little booger home to live with us! I post pictures of her pretty frequently on my Instagram, so if you can't get enough, ya best be followin' me, ya hear? @elleohelle86 is my username, come join the party!

Baby dog vs. mountain lion

My first story of the day will be a description of a moment I REALLY wish I'd had a camera for....I brought Sunny over to our neighbor's house this morning to meet their puppy (her first puppy playdate/friend!) who's a 5 month old, some sort of Shiloh Shepherd....basically she looks like a German Shepherd but is huuuuge for a puppy! She's referred to as a "lion," for goodness' sakes! And they say she'll DOUBLE in size when she's full grown! When she was Sunny's current age, she weighed 25 pounds...Sunny is around 6 ha ha ha. Watching them play and chase each other was just hilarious because of the size difference, and Sunny's cutie pie attempts to paw at this massive dog were too adorable to handle. 

Get ready for lots of unboxing hauls!

The mail lady came today, and she had so many packages for me that she actually had to hand-deliver them to me where I was hanging out on the porch! I got a subscription box sent to me to review, and a bunch of packages of things I've bought off of Depop! I've been getting some great deals on MAC products I've been looking for (which I will do swatch / review posts on shortly!), and will still have plenty of packages to come in the future :) P.S. I've decided to start shipping internationally on my Depop shop and just uploaded a ton of makeup items last night, so if you download the app, be sure to follow me: @MissGlamBam

My embarrassing gothic encounter...

So while I was opening up my packages and trying on some lipsticks later in the day for swatch blogposts, yet another mailman came up to the porch to deliver YET another box (this one wasn't for me though... aw :/ ), I happened to be wearing the Lorde Pure Heroine lipstick that I was trying on, but didn't have any other makeup on because, let's face it, it's summer and my day off, and ain't nobody got time fo dat. So he walks up to me and I'm just wearing this dark lipstick that probably looks black from a distance, and he probably thought I was writing emo poetry while out on the porch instead of taking close ups of lipstick boxes....totally casual / embarrassing... whoops. Awk.

OOPS I DID IT AGAIN

That's right, I placed my second order from erincondren.com in the past month or so. Her new On the Go Notebooks came out and I just couldn't resist (and somehow talked my dad into getting one for me as a gift? What? I'm magical sometimes), and I've been spending days designing my perfect collage for the covers! They're stupidly expensive but ridiculously blinged out and meticulously thought out notebooks, and being the freakishly organized person that I am, I just had to put my order in for one while I was in back to school shopping mode. They're so new that I couldn't find any online reviews for them (unlike when you look up the Life Planner and a million and one videos come up...most of which I watched while trying to decide whether I needed a planner or not...hehe #guilty). They look really similar to the planners feature-wise, and I'm super excited to use it for one of my major classes I'm taking this fall! Can it just be school time yet, or...? I still have to post my unboxing post for the Life Planner, but if you're interested in one OR the notebooks, click on this sentence to get $10 off your first Erin Condren purchase! (She's a goddess omg)

I guess I'm technically cheating because it's almost 1am on Friday, but in my head it's still Thursday. Off to finish this episode of Friends (my latest obsession) and continue editing my July Favorites video, if my laptop wants to cooperate!

As always, thanks for reading! Lots of posts coming soon xx

So What Wednesday!

This week, I'm saying So What to.....

~So what if my crappy dorm wifi wanted to take 600 minutes to upload my video yesterday? Yes, it's a slightly longer than normal video, but obviously something was up with the wifi. So I'm just re-uploading it today. Obvi I was slackin' yesterday cause there wasn't a Tuesday Tidbits blog yesterday either....I was just in a super grumpy and nappy mood yesterday, so sorrrry about that.

~So what if I only remembered to watch the last 10 minutes of Ravenswood last night, and by the time I turned it on I was getting so upset about the possible death of one of the characters that was happening that I accidentally punched the remote and changed the channel and couldn't see the end? Yes, I did have a temper tantrum about it at the time, but now that the episode's FINALLY up online (yes, I've been stalking the website ever since), I know what I'm doing this afternoon... (;

~So what if I currently look like a 40 year old English teacher? With my topknot, glasses, grandma sweater, scarf, and cup of tea, I look like I should be in a library reading Shakespeare. However, I'm sippin on my Gingerbread Sweet tea, and it's freaaaaking delish!!! So worth the grandma effect it's having on my overall failed fashion choices today.

~So what if the new hair serum I bought stained my favorite pair of Hollister jeans....I'll get over it eventually, right? Tide To Go will take it out, right?

~So what if I have no idea what I'm going to put in my What I'm Loving Wednesday post yet? I totally spaced on the fact that it was Wednesday until I saw someone else's.....I don't think I have that many new favorites from last week, oh nooo00o0o0o000!

~So what if the campus shuttle driver who brought me to one of my classes today had a head tattoo on his bald spot? He's kind of my hero for it. Lolz.

I think that's all....what are you saying So What to this week?!

Monday (Late) Night Musings!

Tonight I'm musing about.....

~It is SO nice to be able to take a shower while standing, you have no idea. My foot healed SO much over the weekend. Prayers = finally answered.

~I'm also not dreading my class 1st thing tomorrow morning on the second floor of the only classroom building without an elevator because instead of having to hop up with my crutches and facing a near death experience with every step, I can actually normally-ish walk-ish up them!!! WOOOO

~I got all 4 of the Celestial Seasonings limited edition holiday teas in the mail today. I saw them in someone's Youtube video, but couldn't find them in stores anywhere. So, Amazon it was. Can't wait to test them out for you all! People keep asking me how I like them so I'll probs review them too (; So far I've just tried the Candy Cane Lane (I actually had 2 cups of it today, hehe)

~Tomorrow is my last Spanish class until Thanksgiving break! 2 of them got cancelled for my professor's trip to South Africa/America....I can't remember which. Yay yay YAY!

~Z is the cutest boyfriend in the entire world, and I was so incredibly lucky to be able to spend some time with him this weekend, if only for a few hours. It's so worth the drive, every time. I'll have to post some pictures of our date night in a post tomorrow, eek! I'm so excited! It's not every day that I have new pictures of my fabulous boyfriend to share! I also need to post a Man Crush Monday picture of him soon....only 43 minutes left of Monday remain!

~I'm. Exhausted. All last week I was too, even though I got more sleep than usual (?) Last night random stuff going on in my building (I'm looking at you, jerks who decided to slam their door 6 times in a row at 2 am!!!) kept waking me up, so I got a terrible night's sleep. I wanted to take a nap about three different times today, but as I've said before and will say again, napping in college is near impossible. At least for me. So just a few minutes more of studying for an espanol quiz tomorrow, and I'll be off to my cozy, cozy bed with way too many pillows in it at the moment <3

Thanks for reading! Hope your Monday was fabulous, but if it wasn't....at least it's OVER!

Thursday Thoughts!

I've had such good vibes goin' for the past few hours...this may just be the best Thursday Thoughts ever cause I have some great news!

~I just got out of a class that I thought was going to be super long and boring 25 minutes early, so I'm back with plenty of extra time to blog about the good news I'm brimming at the rim with!

~It's freaking gorgeous and sunny and beautiful outside, and is climbing slowly back up to the 50s for the weekend. HALLELUJAH! I kept doing all of these crutch-themed photos...I could like start an Instagram or Tumblr and call myself Crutch Girl and just have all of these mysterious photos with my crutches peeking out of them. Lol anyways...

~MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, I GOT THE OKAY TO WALK AROUND IN PLACES OTHER THAN THE PT OFFICE WITHOUT MY AIRCAST/BOOT/BIONIC FOOT ON! I mean I could've taken it off whenever I wanted since it's just velcro, but I was told to bring my matching shoe to my appt today, and I left wearing it too! It hurt a little to bend my foot that way to put it in the shoe, but after that it hasn't bothered me. Their reasoning is that "I'll have more support in my sneaker than in my boot," which makes no sense to me because the boot was MADE for support, and has like a million layers of foam and air cushions in it. But either way, it was a super good day in that department. 

My PT person put it on my backpack because I had no other way to carry it... do you like my new keychain?! I'm actually not too embarrassed of how dorky this looks, I'm more proud of being able to walk without it, and I kinda feel like SuperWoman about the whole thing. It's casual. 

~One of my physical therapists is a reincarnated version of George Lopez, I swear. He looks so much like him, has his voice, AND HIS LAUGH! That's the scariest of all, the laugh. His sense of humor is slightly different though, thank goodness. Today one of the exercises they had me do was to start with my feet shoulder-width apart, then kick with my good foot (while standing on my bum foot, EEK!) and kick "George" in the back of the leg. They kept telling me to aim for his butt, but 1) that was a little...weird...for my taste and 2) I physically don't bend that way yet.

~Class registration went well, I only got locked out of one class, which is pretty good! I mean, this is supposed to only be the second day for freshmen to register, but a lot of freshman classes were practically full already, so there must be a loophole! Anyways, I had picked out a second choice for that class anyways, so on Mondays I'll have a whopping 4 classes (starting at 9am, ugh), but on Tuesdays I'll only have one, and it starts at 11 (so I can sleep in to get rid of the torturous memories of my jam-packed Mondays). Good thing my Monday blogpost is at night, cause I'm gonna be busy! The only thing that bummed me out about this lock out was that Miranda and I were gonna be in the same class together, along with possibly my other friend Emily. Boo :( 

HEADLINE: Crutch Girl sighted with two matching, real shoes on, for the first time in almost a month.

~My registration time was during my PT appt., so I had to stop my gait-stepping to go log on and pick my classes. I did it in exactly 3 minutes, because I was so well-prepared and had all the course numbers, etc., written down (; George Lopez wanted to put me in the torture tub of Arctic death and destruction while I was registering, but I was like uhhh no way, my laptop is smooth as a stone and would probably have slid off my lap and into the whirlpool in .025 seconds had I attempted that. Clearly my coordination is crap....that's how I ended up in PT in the first place, right?

~I'm debating about whether to miss the first hour of a capella practice tonight to go to my third merit point event this week (I'm gonna have amazing housing next year, fingers crossed!)....there's this cool women empowerment thing going on, so of course Miranda and Emily want to go (I'm the one that told them it was going on, so you're welcome ladies). I haven't missed practice in awhile, so I feel like that could be excusable...possibly? What to do, what to do...

~I guess that's all for today. I'm just super excited about wearing matching shoes!!! And also about the fact that I can walk around with only one crutch now- I keep doing that to go to the bathroom, and it's so nice to be able to go to the bathroom without a wheelchair taking up the entire room! I'm shaky and look like an old person when I do it, but progress is progress, and walking was all the wanted all along.(: 

Keep on the lookout for my Thirsty Thursday post later today- I'm reviewing a tea this week! How unusual, I know.

Thanks for reading! What are your Thoughts this Thursday?

P.S. I forgot to post my beauty video that went up later in the afternoon yesterday in my What I'm Loving Wednesday, so here it is so y'all don't miss it! (: 

My Throwback Thursday video will also be up later today! Love you all! <3

Target Haul: October 2013

You may have seen this pic on my Instagram @elleohelle86 or my Facebook page! MissGlamBam- formerly Elleoenigma

This haul is actually from the weekend before Halloween, so some items are H-ween-related, while most of them aren't! Sorry this is up late- I'll have a blog haul from this month up shortly as well! I love me some Tarjay (:

Aerial view of my haul!

Skull Mug- $1 First off was the dollar section- who can resist? It was all festive and I had a big blast wheeling myself around in my wheelchair through these aisles! I got this little skull cup/mug- I thought it was so cute, and I can never have enough things to drink out of! Idk if I'd brew coffee right into this since it's plastic, but it would definitely be a good glass to put juice in with some ice or something. They also had goblets identical to this, but my mug looked like it would hold more! 

Mamba Fruit Chews, $? These were in the bargain section, but I'm not sure of the price. Probably only a dollar or two! I'd just seen a post on Instagram with a haul someone had done of a bunch of Asian candy, which this looked like it fell into the category of, so I had to pick these up because they were talking to my sweet tooth. Rare candy is a must for me!

AirHeads Xtremes Candy Belts, $? These were also in the bargain category, and like Mamba, I'm not sure of the price. I LOVE LOVE LOVE candy belts like this, and I found these over the summer and have since been obsessed and craving them. They went into the basket without a second thought. 

Hello Panda Candy Crackers, $1? I'm pretty sure these were $1, since they were in the dollar section (although Target has been sneaky lately and putting things in there that are $3 or some weird number in between....humph!) These are so yummy, I remember my friends in middle school used to come back from visiting their home countries in Singapore or China, and would bring these back and I would fall in love with them instantly. Between the cute little panda faces and the fact that they melt in your mouth, I couldn't pass these up, especially being on an Asian/rare candy kick!

Frankenstein Sticky Notes, $1 These were definitely a dollar, which is pretty good for sticky notes these days! They are just starting to charge an arm and a leg for those suckers. Anyways, I am a sucker for cute sticky notes, and needed some normal square ones, because my current ones are round and don't stick to anything. Plus I loved his "Why did I get out of bed this morning" facial expression, because that's me everyday. Haha just kidding. Or am I?

Sterilite Medium-Sized Trash Can, $8 This is a terrible picture because the garbage can practically blends into the chair, but this sucker is the entire reason I wanted to go to Target! Actually, it was only half the reason, but they didn't have the other thing I wanted. Grrr! Anyways, I needed a large and second trash can, since my little zebra one (it's in my College Dorm Haul that you can watch here- )

doesn't fit much trash and I found myself needing to take it out twice a day! I currently use the smaller one for bottle recycling, and my new bigger trash can works much better for me (:

Coffee Cup Wall Decals, ~$14 These were probably the most expensive things I bought haha. They fit into my wall theme more than PERFECTLY, and looked really easy to apply! There's so many of them that I can arrange all the cute little cups however I'd like. Why can't I figure out how to get these pictures side by side!? Anyways, I was so super excited to find these! They're perfect for my room, and I've never seen them at Target before, which is saying something since I've practically memorized the wall decal section!

6-Pack of Vanilla Almond Luna Bars, ~$7 This is a brand new flavor! I'm utterly obsessed with Luna bars and have one for breakfast practically every single day while I'm in class, so these were a must! This flavor sounded delicious!

Peanut Honey Pretzel Luna Bar, ~$1.50 This was another new flavor that sounded wonderful! I decided to try just one of these instead of buying an entire box though, but I did want to try it so I picked up a single bar instead (: 

Up & Up Adults' Gummy Calcium Dietary Supplement, $? I always take calcium gummies, and mine were out, so my mom insisted I get these to replace them. They're actually delicious and I like every flavor in this bottle, which is unusual because there's usually at least one flavor I can't stand and feed to Miranda in order to get rid of them. Hehe. 

Revlon Ultimate Tweezers, ~$8 These were another thing I needed- I lost my favorite Revlon tweezers during move-in and haven't been able to find them since!!! Argh! I'm the kind of person who touches up their eyebrows practically every other day, this just would not do any longer, so I picked up some new ones, even though I had a pretty deep-rooted relationship with my long lost pair of tweezers. Also, I found out that tweezers are getting dang expensive these days- why are Tweezerman's $24?!!?!? I hate slanted tweezers and think they're impossible to use, so these are what I picked up!

Up & Up 100 Pack of Cotton Rounds, $2 My cotton rounds were all out, and I use them on the daily for stubborn eye makeup removal and for my cleanser, so I needed a new pack before I went crazy. These were a lot cheaper than the $4 ones I usually dread getting at CVS, and are a lot thicker too. Target is my new place to get cotton rounds! Take note, ladies.

St. Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub (Full Size Tube), ~$5 This is my personal favorite product in this haul, and sorry that the picture is somewhat blurry! I'm not sure what happened there. I talk more about this in my October Favorites video, which should be up later this week, since I just exported it yesterday! Yay! This stuff really works, and previously I had only owned the sample size which is almost out, and it did such great things that I NEEDED the full size!

So that concludes my first ever blog haul! I do lots on my channel, so check out MissGlamBam.com if you're in need of more shoppaholic-ism. Do you like the idea of me doing blog hauls? Let me know because I have at least one more to share as of right now!

Tuesday Tidbits

Pretend I have a really cute Tuesday Tidbits button! If someone wants to make me one I will love you forever and possibly send you some beauty items....jussayin. Mini secret giveaway goin on right here!

Hey hey hey guys! I'm so peppy and happy today even BEFORE my coffee today, and here's why:

~My Public Safety driver today was the one who calls everyone "hun" and whose car smells like coffee. Seriously, it was like straight up Starbucks scent this morning, and I was in dire need (only just now am I getting my daily dose of coffee!) so I was almost tempted to reach over and pretend that "oh, I thought that was my cup! Whoops, sorry!" But I didn't. Round of applause for self control, please.

~It was a really positive day for everyone in physical therapy today- the other guy who injured his foot and had previously been wearing an AirCast like I am now finally took his boot off and is walking without it! You go boy! His bruises are every shade between black and purple, I swear. I didn't know there were that many different colors on that end of the color spectrum....

ANYWAYS!

Livin' up dat PT lyfe.

~I had to be put in the torture tub again today, but apparently it was only 45 degrees, which the guy who works the tub area says "is too warm." So of course he was taking shovels of ice and dumping them in the tub, but he didn't dump them on my foot again today, so that made me exponentially happy. It was bearable today & there were no cold-water anxiety attacks, thank goooodnezz. I was so proud of myself for putting up with it comfortably, unlike on Thursday.... Another impressive thing I did today is that I picked up a cup and a half of marbles with my toes, and it took me a lot less time than usual because my sausage toes have finally stopped swelling so much! This happened over the weekend and made me super happy. My foot looks normal when by itself, but then you put it next to my un-sprained foot and it's practically purple. Gross.

~Most importantly of all, on my journey to the torture ice tub of Arctic death, they got me to walk. On both my feet. At first I only had one crutch, and since I wasn't wearing a shoe on one foot, it kind of looked like I was going to face plant, so they gave me my second crutch. I wasn't even wearing my AirCast and I was PUTTING WEIGHT EQUALLY ON BOTH FEET and actually walking like a regular human being! It really was starting to feel like I wasn't going to be able to walk normally again, and today gave me hope. I'm really so excited about this- I can stand on both feet without too much pain now too!

~IT SNOWED TODAY! It was more like sleet and didn't stick to the ground, although my mom sent me pictures from back home and there was definitely an inch sticking to everything there. Here, however, it was just really wet rain that looked white while it was in mid-air. I was terrified with all of the wetness and my crutches on the rubber stairs in the art building and the perfectly polished and shiny lobby floor in the business building, since I've wiped out when it's rained in both of those locations before :( I've been good so far today, probably because I can walk when I crutch now, so I'm relying less on my crutches.

~My roommate from CA just checked the weather for back home and the low today is 54....which is the high for the next week here. It's currently 70-something there, as we were sitting in the snow this morning...why, East Coast, why?! She also just said to me, "Guess how many pairs of pants I'm wearing today!?!" I've taught her the rules of layering well. Good job, my young grass hopper. 

~I've been testing so many new products lately...face products, a toothpaste I'm in love with....What I'm Loving Wednesday is going to be chock-full tomorrow! I'm super excited and should start gearing up now....at least with the picture-taking! 

~I'm uploading my giveaway to my beauty channel as I type! I'll talk about it a bit more in a separate post when it's live! Let's just say that if you're following my blog, you're already one step ahead! (;

What are you tidbitting about this fine Tuesday?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Ever since I saw RamblingsofaSuburbanMom do this post last week, I've been thinking of what my favorites this week would be! A lot of them are random, so let's get started! Here's what I'm loving this week:


~The fact that I now have 5 followers on my blog! I literally just got my 4th a couple of days ago, and now I'm at five!!!! I haven't had new followers since spring, so this is a great thing! So what if one of them is me....awk. I don't know how to unfollow it anyway! But if you enjoy this blog, please share it with your friends and maybe they'll like it and follow it too! I freak out in the happiest way possible when I see that that number has risen. Thanks guys!

~I've been mentioning her in every blogpost lately, so I'm sorry to sound like a broken record, but I literally want my life to be like this woman's one day. Look at her cute kids! Her blog is at RamblingsofaSuburbanMom.com, and she does reviews on just about every subscription box service in the world, which originally got me hooked on her. Since then, I've been addicted to her daily posts, like today's "So What Wednesday," and have been modeling some of my posts after hers. The daily email I get from her telling me what all of her new posts of the day are is my favorite email I get all day! She is the reason I've started blogging so much again, and I really love it. It's a great release, and she's adorable and funny, so check her out if you'd like!

~The NYC Big Bold Plumping Lip Gloss in Pleasantly Plump Pink! I've worn this twice this week and it's just a really great texture. I'll be writing a whole blogpost review about it because I got it in my Influenster Varsity Voxbox, so stay tuned!

~Twizzlers! They're more like a monthly favorite, but my monthly favorite video schedule is all messed up, unfortunately, so I don't think I'll be having an October favorites video :( Anyways, when these were on sale and I had a coupon for them at CVS, I bought myself 2 whole bags of fun sized packs of them, and am about 3/5 through one of them (I might be nice and share the second bag). I always eat them when I'm at my desk, either blogging or doing homework. They're just so perfect and I love biting them in half....ugh I have such a crush on Twizzlers this week. I literally crave them 12/7. 

~Ashleigh Banfield 

This is a crap picture I took of a tv across the lounge from me where I usually wait between classes, since I can't go all the way back to my room while on crutches. She's a CNN newscaster and always does a segment called the "Legal View" or something like that. She's so logical and I just love her- catching up on the news between classes just makes me feel so up to date and with the world! Hooray!

~Purple Pens by Zebra

Normally these Z-Grip colored pens skip and give me all sorts of ink blotches when I try to take colorful notes in class, but for some reason this purple one is really smooth, and in just about every class I've had so far this week, I've taken notes with this. I've just really liked purple for some reason!

I also just uploaded a beauty video to my main channel, so don't miss it!

Thank you all for reading! What are your favorites this Wednesday?

Tuesday Tidbits

I just got back to my room a few minutes ago- I have been go go go all day! Class, then showing up super early for physical therapy and having an appointment for almost an hour, and then another class!

This week I seem to be starting all of my weekly post series- last night was Monday Night Musings, which you can read here. Today is Tuesday Tidbits, instead of Tuesday Troubles like my blogging idol, RamblingsofASuburbanMom.com, did today, since last night's post was kind of more complain-y, and two in a row of those would just be obnoxious.

So here are my tidbits for so far this Tuesday! Enjoy!

~I posted about how my friend group and I went out to dinner for Miranda's birthday last night, and here's an artsy picture I took when we were at the bus stop, waiting in the freezing cold (I quite liked it): 

~I did super well in physical therapy today. It was my first time going to the on-campus office, and can I just point out how disturbing it was that they have a "Wall of Pain" with pictures of bruises that look like galaxies, and something that looked like a gunshot wound?!!?

Anyways, they had me putting weight on my bum foot, and by the time I left, I could almost walk on it without my Aircast boot, and walk with the help of my crutches and the boot. When I got to my room, I could actually limp a little on my heel when I was wearing the boot. This is super exciting, because all I want is to be able to walk again! Being so co-dependent and helpless is driving me crazy!!!

~On another note....I'm pretty sure that all of the Public Safety officers that drive me to all of my classes think my name is Ella...not Elle. Awk. I thought they all just had weird accents and said my name weird, but now when I call to ask for a ride they're like "oh, this must be Ella!" So I just say yes because it's just too late to correct them now without me looking really dumb. Whoops. Cringe.

~I have so many videos to film, and it will probably only be light for another two hours! I should probably get ready or something, or just edit some older video files I have just hanging out in my iMovie to make up for the upload gap. BTW I'll be uploading my newest Voxbox unboxing video in about an hour, so I'll post it RIGHT HERE when it's up so you can all check it out! It's one of my favorites to date- and then I'll have all of the products to blog about, because my posts won't be spoilers anymore (: I'll also have to update my post with my complete list of Influenster programs- so much to do, so much to do!

~I haven't had any caffeine so far today, and didn't have any yesterday (which eventually resulted in a mild headache, but I couldn't take anything for it because I had already taken Ibuprofen for my foot/ankle! arghh >:( ) I should really get on that...but half the battle is always choosing what to drink, since I have such a hoard of K-cups and coffee grounds and tea bags by now. I'm not complaining at all though, this is like heaven for a caffeine lover like myself <3 I have lots to do in real life and on the Internet today, so I'd better get that coffee pumpin' in me! 

~I always forget about eBates! Miranda was just about to order things online from Sephora, and then I told her to check out eBates first! I can do another post kind of explaining it sometime, but basically you get a percentage of cash back when you shop online, and a lot of times they have coupon codes or codes for free products, in Sephora's case. You can check it out here.

I hope you guys enjoyed - if you want to do this post too and put your link in the comments, I would be more than happy to check it out! It can be like a mini link-up until I figure out the technology to do a real bull blown one!

Thank you all for reading! What kind of post should I do next? I've really got the bloggin' bug this week!

Monday Night Musings

Starting a new weekly segment that I hope I can keep up with! Since it's brand new, I don't have a pretty little picture with the title on it, a la RamblingsofaSuburbanMom.com, so if anyone out there that's reading this can make me a cute little one with some zebra stripes or chevron pattern, that would be SO GREAT! My Youtube/Internet email is Everything.Elle@yahoo.com - you can always send me requests and feedback there!

Anyways, I obviously can't do the Monday Morning Ramblings like Jen, who I just mentioned, since it's now 10 pm. Plus, I think it's better to do reflections later in the day on a Monday, after all of the grumpiness has kind of faded away. Am I right? I imagine if I had done this post earlier in the day, it would have been more like a Tuesday Troubles....which I will hopefully have up for you tomorrow!

Anyways, here's what I'm musing about this Monday night:

~It was my roommate Miranda's birthday today, so we were all planning to go out to eat at a fabulous Mexican place downtown (that I'm absolutely IN LOVE WITH and had been looking forward to all day). One of my friends looked at the hours online and insisted they were open until 9...but when we got there off the bus at 7, they were CLOSED! We ended up at a cute little Italian place that I have no complaints about, because now I have some yummy leftover eggplant parm in my fridge that I can eat in absence of all of the dining hall trips I'm too crippled to make.

~Also, let me just say that I'm Super Roommate for going downtown and having to take public transportation while being in a wheelchair, just for a birthday dinner. That's the farthest I've traveled in my wheelchair while being near campus- the only furthest distance is from aisle to aisle in Target or Walmart, hehe.

~I just ate 3 mini "fun sized" packages of Twizzlers that I was planning to use to bribe myself to do my homework. Well that purpose has been defeated!

~Miranda's boyfriend informed me at dinner that all of the homework that I thought was due tomorrow actually isn't due until Thursday, and in my economics class this morning, my professor moved the due date of our next homework from Thursday to Sunday. Score! Looks like tomorrow & Wednesday night will be smooth-sailin! (relatively)

~In case you missed my Twitter rant last night, the girls near me were being so super loud last night that I was super cranky and couldn't sleep....which resulted in me today being super cranky and unable to nap. Are you ever just so tired that you CAN'T nap? That was me just before dinner...I had been looking forward to it, but alas, I just can't seem to successfully nap in my dorm. I think I've done it maybe once all year? And attempted at least five times? Ughhh! What are the secrets to dorm napping?!

~The heat in my math classroom was screwed up this morning (even more so than usual), so I was sitting there with my outdoor jacket on, in a probably 40 degree room. When it was 34 degrees outside. YUCK! The temperature dropped really fast overnight...it was absolutely gorgeous and bearable over the weekend, but just from standing outside for a few minutes today, my hands are already cracking :/

~Today I helped Miranda buy long underwear and a winter coat that would actually keep her warm in the nasty New England winter that's sure to come. She's from CA, so this whole being dark at 5pm thing is really throwing her off. She was complaining to her mom about it on the phone today, and as a New Englander born & raised, I couldn't help but giggle. All I could do was sit there in my flannel shirt  & offer her some pumpkin seeds....boy, are the stereotypes true (;

That's all I've got for tonight, folks! Be sure to follow me on twitter, @photoholicgurli, to get my musings all throughout the day that you won't see anywhere else. I also tend to retweet cute pictures of puppies and kittens, so that's worth it, right?

Alrightie, I've got some Wall Street Journal articles to read and analyze!

Did you like this segment? What should I name tomorrow's?

As always, thanks for reading!
