Hot Pockets

Artist: some really lucky ad guys


I wish I had the time and money to cook delicious meals like everyone else but as a broke college student it just doesn't happen. Therefore, I live a little too much on tv dinners. Here's a new one I tried today and it's delicious. I love the panini at Panera and this is similar and a quarter of the price. My only complaint is that normally with Hot Pockets you buy the box and the two sandwiches are individually packaged these are not. So you eat the whole thing which is wonderful but not as healthy. Below is my other favorite and healthier (as far as frozen foods go).

Prep in the Big Apple

Park Avenue Princess

Sexy Back

Artist: Justin Timberlake

So I decided to skip the conservative and go for the sexy. It's really cute and like a dress but it's soft and pajamas. It's a Pajama Party Single's Mingle - hence the pj's. Princess Freckles should know that I'm not outgoiong enough to wear pj's at a party. The picture is blurry but this is the gist. There are like white "firecrackers" on them.

Additionally, following in the footsteps of Prep in the Big Apple, I contacted an ex.

Now I use the term VERY loosely and vaguely. We were never really an item but we were heading down that path when things kind of blew up. A little background. I met him when I was 18 and hosting a veteran's event at school and he is like 10 years older than me and I wasn't ready for anything. We became friends and then when I was ready to see what could happen but he kept standing me up. As friends it was okay for him to be late or have to cancel but when we were going to go on our first real date and he didn't show I was pissed.

I was also worried because I heard nothing from him all day. So when I finally did I called him on it and he was pissed because his car broke and he was fighting with companies all day. He was suppose to be coming to my school for a presentation and we got in a fight about that and I just didn't want to talk to him. He bought me a gift and wanted to apologize but I wouldn't let him so we didn't talk.

I texted him on election night to see if he was alive (he's in the Army and I always wonder if he'll be sent back overseas) but never called him back like I said I would.

He's definately one of those "bad boys" -- see below -- and so I don't know what is going to happen but he apologized again and asked where do we go from here. I told him food is a good place to start and now I shall wait and see what happens.

Single Ladies

Artist: Beyonce

So in my first attempt to broaden my horizons and experience new things I won a pair of tickets to a Single's Mingle from the local radio station, MojointheMorning. It's at the V night club at the MGM Grand casino. I've never been to a night club and never a single's mingle so it will certainly be an experience.

My friend Nat is coming with me as long as she can get off work and I'm so glad because she's super outgoing and will force me to meet people.

Ofcourse the big question is what to wear!

I wanted this really cute jumper sleepwear from Victoria's Secret it's cute, conservative and looks comfortable. More importantly it's affordable and warm. But it wouldn't be delivered in time :(

Now I must do things the old fashion way and go to the mall.

Bad Boys

Artist: Will Smith

What is it about bad boys that make them so irrestistable?

My FAVORITE Bad Boy... his name is Bond, James Bond.
Some of my favorite shows were on tonight and on all of them I like the bad boys - albiet in VERY different ways. Regardless, the "bad" boys always appeal to me. Every "nice" boy I find boring or stupid. And of course the "bad" boy is NEVER any good. House, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill are however so on with the shows....

"...it involves House, Foreman and 13 so it's either dumb, dangerous or tradgic..." - Taub

That was the quote of the show and I'm pleased that neither was true. Today was good. Amazingly, Dr. House wasn't bad today, he was nice actually nice!!! Cuddy on the other hand not so nice and let him have it. Not that I blame her since he is usually a complete ass.

Unfortunately, because they are on at the same time I only get to see chunks of Gossip Girl. But I LOVE the parts I can see. Fashion and gossip two of my favorite things. But the best thing on GG is the Chuck Bass! I don't know what it is about him but he's just so..... Chuck.

Dan Scott is the devil I mean this man has literally done every evil thing imaginable and yet somehow he's like my favorite character on the show or at least I miss him when he's not on. I discuss this with HorseGirl everytime we talk about OTH and I can't decide if its the actor or amazing writing that makes this evil-jerk-murderer redeemable. After today I'm leaning towards the actor because he was too cute with Jamie.
Surprisingly, James van Der Beek was also cute today. I love that he is on OTH. I think it's awesome. I'm not a specific fan and I rarely liked Dawson but Chad Michael Murray got his start on DC and both were the teen soap for their "generation" so it's fun.
Rounding out my tv blog entry I have to confess that I watched Baywatch last night. Growing up it was one of my favorite shows. Bri and I would pretend to be the different characters. I was excited for the 2002 tv movie. Most people think it's crazy - I don't disagree; however the show - at least season 3 - is not inappropriate or anything. Just really, really, REALLY dumb. It's totally after-school special, pathetic montages and really bad acting.

Gonna Miss President Roosevelt

Artist: Unknown, Blues for FDR

I miss the Roosevelts. Researching and writing my thesis last semester was fun.

So I've decied to start working on my book. I've always planned to write another book and this time I want to get it published. What I enjoyed most about my research was the fact that it hasn't been well researched. There are only a couple of books about the alignment of black Americans to the Democratic party during the Roosevelt era and barely any credit is given to FDR. I don't exactly have a ton of time to work on it now but I can do little things. I have ideas in my head about what I'd like to do and I'm sure there will be changes but one thing I'm pretty sure about is writing a narrative and not a scholarly book. So now my blog will also be a chronicle for my book adventure.


And hopefully in five years I can have it finished and have it published before the greatest legacy of the Roosevelt adminstration leaves office.

9 to 5

Artist: Dolly Parton

OMG! Well its official I'm dieting!

I bought a pair of jeans at Parisian (size 9) because they were cheap and because I figured they'd be big and therefore would make me feel better. They are not big on me. So not cool. I planned on starting fresh in February in many aspects of my life. Now along with socializing, studying and work I'm going to have to add the gym to my list.

So I'm never going to look like Pamela Anderson (which probably a good thing most of the time), but I'd at least like a flat stomach like she has.

On a brighter note it is so warm outside right now I feel like sunbathing.*

*By warm I mean 37 degrees
