Blog, Blog, BLOG!

Really, I love blogging. And I absolutely LOVE reading blogs. It helps me in more ways than one, and someday I really hope to inspire the hundreds of readers I will potentially acquire...ok, maybe just getting 1 loyal reader will be rewarding enough.


However, you must pardon the busy life of a full-time student with a full-time job. Yuck. I would blog every day, but who wants to read about the girl on campus with the short shorts and Ugg boot combo I recently saw? Or the boy with gym shorts and long socks that thought he could substitute as pants (seriously, his mother has to wonder where she went wrong)? Oh, and thanks to the old foogies at MSU, I will be playing that role until spring of 2012. How lucky am I (And you to read about such lovely fashion ideas I see on campus!).



I had the dreaded meeting with my adviser this past Tuesday. I use the word "dreaded" because it's that meeting where they sit you down and look at your midterm grades. Ouch. Oh, well. I'm still in school and 47 credit hours away from graduation. It's fiiine. It's normal. 53.2% of all college students complete their degree in 5 years and I'm now in the club. Welcome, Chelsea.


(PS I totally did not make up that percentage...ok, maybe I fudged a bit.)


But, today, I have better things on my mind I figured I would share with you....we'll call this segment "Happy Birthday to the Halloween Queen."

We celebrated my birthday last night a few days early and had a bangin bash! Then came the presents.....

My wonderful grandparents and my aunt splurged and bought me the NEW Vera Bradley Laptop Backpack in Call Me Coral. LOVEEE it! I sent them a pic this morning with the text, "Who's the cutest girl at school? That's right, ME!" 

 Then my AMAZING mother searched high and low (and EVEN went to our competitor's store) to get this cute recipe book from Iota filled with a few of our family favorites! I can't wait to use this and fill it with my own :)


She also found Taking Flight by Kelly Rae Roberts, that woman has mad talent and I am so excited to curl up with some hot tea and dive into her creative mind through this book.

Tonight will be my favorite birthday gift: Precious time and a great concert with the boy!! I am sooo pumped to see Jason Aldean with the boy and spend some quality time with my hard working man.

Yes, Happy Birthday to me ;)
