Vanilla Tea is Wonderful

WOOOHOOOO!!!

Soooooo I was looking through my calendar and Guess What?!?!

I Finish School On the 3rd!!!!!!! Classes are Over on the third and then just one final on the 6th and it's OVER!! I have been waiting for this since August 23rd and it's FINALLY here!!! I'll be able is Sew again and Bake!!!! Uggg I haven't done eyether one of those in Forever!!

So I tried to post before now but EVERYTHING has been turned upside down... In case you hadn't figured that out.

So awhile ago Justin told me about this app, It's free and called OTR Stream (Old Time Radio) and it's amazing. I'm a sucker for Old Time Radio so it' perfect. You should check it out!

I'm in Love...



With this weather. Ha. It really is amazing. I love tights and my new coat and my favorite scarf :) and corduroy and all the colors and walking through leaves and jumping/stomping on leaves and tall Carmel Apple Spices (you can surprise me if you want)

Hmmmmm So I love Thanksgiving. Sis. Janice and Sis. Waldrep did an AMAZING job at chapel on Wednesday!!!!!!! It was really good!! Makes me love Thanksgiving even more!!

Bro. Short did a wonderful job Last night! Ohhhh I really miss hearing him preach!!!

So I'm done with Christmas shopping for my sister and I've got some stuff for other people in my family and a couple others ;)

Buh.

One of these days I'll actually post more than once every month.... But for now...

There are five weeks left of school (I think) and I could jump up and down because of it. I'm soooooooo done!!!!!

Volunteering is still fun.

And work is okay. I got four gap cards within 3 hours! So they gave me three $5 Starbucks gift cards and I got to go home early! I pretty much rock. Hahahaha. They informed me that they would need my schedule for the Holiday season as soon as possible.... I should just be very thankful that they let me keep my job which I am...Buuuuuttt It makes life all the more hectic..Buh.

I feel like all I do is school, work, and volunteering so that's all I have to talk about. Maybe something super exciting will happen so until then have fun.

Oh Cher!!

Bonjour! Je suis très très désolé that it’s been soooooooooo long!

Ohhh My! Where to begin!?!

Let's start with school... I am Volunteering at LCA every Monday, Wednesday, and most Fridays! I teach art every Monday to the first and second graders and the rest of the time I’m helping in Sis. Waldrep’s room! I Love, Love, Love, LOVE it!!!! It's wonderful and I love the experience!

TU is just super awesome...Ha. It's really not THAT bad buuutttt I do not like getting up soooo early!! My body officially hates me. I have had two test so far one in French and the other in Oceanography. Hmmm... Let's start with my favorite class, Printmaking! I would tell you about what we are doing (Lithography) but I don't really understand it ;) Sooo All I can say is google it! Haha! My second favorite is Studio Art, it's pretty...interesting. ;) And it goes downhill from there... Oceanography is interesting but It's soooo stinkin early!! I have to be there a little before 8A.M. because he starts promptly at 8. Buh. Which means I have to leave my house at 7:15 and not a minute late! buh. I'm not a happy camper before 9! Creative Drama is lame. Some of the concepts are good but my teacher is really rude. We are learning and playing games right now and we were playing a game she knew and kept telling us we were doing it all wrong even though she "steps out of the teacher role when we are 'teaching the class’" So she stopped us and told us how we were doing it wrong but not how to do it right. Isn't that lame?

OKAY! Thursday night was Wait Wait...Don't tell me! The NPR new quiz show. :D It was incredible!!! A very BIG Thank You to the Wonderful person who bought them for me!!!! :D I was able to get pictures with Peter, Carl, and Mo! Annnd I now have Peter and Carl's autographs on my ticket!! I'm soooo glad I went back inside, there was like no one in there getting photos so I could kinda talk with Mo and Peter! The show is Amazing!!! You can listen to it every Saturday at 1 on 89.5 or get the podcast.

The Set of the show.

Mo Rocca and I!

Carl Kasell and I!

Peter Sagal and I!

The fun fair was today and it was fun!

P.S. Things are pretty awesome right now!

I bleed Hurricane Blue..What?!

Okay! School has officially started and I have no Idea what I have gotten myself into!!... Maybe it's really not that bad..yet.

Monday and Wednesday I have French and Printmaking. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Oceanography (at 8AM!!!!!!!!) Then Intro to Studio Arts with this crazy professor who is making us draw everything with our NON dominate hand!! and then Creative Dramatics which will be super fun, our homework is to make a name tag that describes our personality without using a safteypin or straightpin. Fridays I only have French. :)

I made this fruit salad a week ago and it was A-mazing!! Bananas, Raspberries, Blueberries, Strawberries, Mangos, Peaches and Plums!! I had left over peaches, raspberries and blueberries so I made a smoothie. Wonderful.

I'm still working at Gap! 2-6 Tuesdays and Thursdays and then wheneves on Saturdays.

Some other stuff is going on right now...But I'll keep that for later..

Ohhhh yeah..Branson was last weekend! That was a ton of fun hangin with the cnc!!

Meteor Shower!

So my Blog is kind of almost fixed. I still can't figure out how to change my post font, I have gone to the blogger designer and changed all the fonts to Georgia but it's not changing them on my blog. Lame. If you can help please do so! I highly dislike this new template stuff but with the classic ones I can't add gadgets. Buh.(The background is a picture of bleeding hearts (the flowers) I think they are pretty!)

School starts on the 23rd. Eleven days from today. And I still have NO idea about anything. Why can't I just take all printmaking classes??



Better Subjects from now on,

So there is a meteor shower tonight!!! And you should watch it.

I am allllmost finished with my skirt from those dirt cheap Gap pants! Hopefully I can finish it tonight! We'll see though ;) So then I will have all next week to work on a seersucker skirt!! I love sewing, why can't you major in that??? or even have sewing classes?? TU is so lame.

Did I trick anyone about the cutest redhead ever on my last post?? Just Wondering..

Okay I haven't said anything about it but a SUPER Awesome person bought me Tickets to see Wait Wait....Don't Tell Me and I am very very very very EXCITED about it!!! :D I wish it was sooner!!

Uggggg. So for the last three or four weeks I have had the WORST cravings for Anything sweet. Apparently my body is making up for the two years I didn't indulge in a ton of sweets. and You can totally tell! Hi-five for 4 extra pounds. only not. :( So Dumb!

Under Construction

So I know that I'm super popular and eveyone reads my blog...Haha ;) Annnywway for the three people that read my blog I messed it up and I don't have time to fix it right now. So it looks dumb but maybe I'll fix it by tonight and add a new post?? -Shelby

News

Sooo do you remember a looooong time ago when I talked about making an apron and how it wasn't going to take me a long time??!?....weellll I'M FINISHED!!! And it only took me two months but I had other stuff I was doing ;)

The lighting is lame but anyway... some people don't care for it too much but I figure I'll be wearing it so who cares!! I still have two things I want to start and finish by school, A red seersucker skirt and a jean skirt out of pants. Gap was having an amazing deal on jeans and with my discount I bought a pair at $2.98!... so that's a six dollar skirt. :) Can't beat that!

I went to Greensboro, North Carolina last week with my sister. If you have not been to that part of the country make sure you go!!! North or South Carolina. BEAUTIFUL!!

Are you guys ready to see the CUTEST redhead EVER!!!!

Haha! Was it what you were expecting?!? Meet the youngest member of the Tucker clan... Eugene Taylor Marryman III... (T.J. for short..Thank goodness!!) He's a Tucker at heart ;) iPhone photo quality isn't the best but it's as red as can be!! Guess who was my new best friend?? ;) My grandmother is beside herself... "I cannot believe one of MY grandchildren is a redhead!" She doesn't really like it... Oh well. Buh. I woke up yesterday morning and put eyedrops in my eyes as normal and it burned really bad! As the day progressed it got worse... it was burning and hard to see out of and it felt like I had 10 eyelashes in my eye at once and they were not coming out! By 10pm I had my glasses on and was trying to work on my apron but couldn't really see so I went to bed. I could not sleep. When I woke up this morning my eye was really red and it hurt to see. Whitney thought I had pink eye and by 130 I had called my eye doctor. Dr. Rainwater. Buh. I had an appointment at 215 and he said it was just an infection. That some type of debris had gotten under my contact and Voila!! So I now have special eyedrops.

Ohhh yeah I made some really good dark chocolate and cherry cookies the other day! Super good!

I hate buying clothes online! And I should learn never to read the buyers comments.. "Go a size down"... Lame!!

Dillard's is having really good sales! Check um out!
