I'll have a blue Christmas without you.

Wwaaaallllleeeee!

This is the first night since Wednesday that I have been home before 130am. Last night I got home at 330.

Ohhhh Brother!!

So I did two prints last night and it was super late and I couldn't keep going so I just left and come home. I got ready for bed, set my alarm for 630 annnnnnd APPARENTLY I didn't hear the alarm. I was suppose to be up at LCA by 815 then I had work at 10 so I was going to leave LCA at 930 so I could be at work with plenty of time! Ahahaha. Instead of getting up at 630 I work up at 936!!!!!!! Not only did I wake up late and miss LCA I also woke up to late to leave for work on time. (I have to leave by 930 to get there by 10) SO LAME! I didn't leave my house until 948 and I called work and Guess what?!?!? I told the Manager on duty that I was going to be late and she said that it wasn't a big deal because I'm never late BUT the District Manager was suppose to be there ANY Minute!!!! So I sped ALLLLL they way there and was only ten minutes late... I get there and the DM isn't there!! Oh I was sooo happy until Mindi mentioned that I have blue on my face. ("Shelby, Why do you have blue all over your face?") From Printing. Uggggg. I printed bright blue last night. I knew it was all over my hands but totally forgot that when I left Bridget told me I had blue on my face. Quick note, Print ink DOES NOT come off with soap and water. You have to use some special soap. Lame. So I went to the bathroom and tried to clean it off, I had to scrape my nails into my skin to get the blue off. It came off but there was a faint hint of blue on my face. All Day Long. I'm so done with school.

Good news.... ALLLLLLL My Prints Are D.O.N.E.!!!! :) I just have my final Wednesday at 330.

What will I be doing during my break? Work and sleeping. Annnnd maybe sewing. It will be wonderful!!

I have my written French final Tomorrow and my French oral Monday then one final the 15th and I'm done!!! So basically I'm done on Monday. I Need this Break sooooo stinkin' Bad!! I need a vaca somewhere... even for a couple of days. Who wants to go? You pay your ticket I'll get the room, Deal?!?!

Guess what I am doing tomorrow?!?!?! Are you ready to be jealous????





I'm going Horseback Riding!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! So when you are doing whatever you do around 215 just think of me, having waaaayyyy more fun than you!!!!! :P

I have a funny story to tell and I hope that its not too crude. And if you want to actually hear me tell it (Which is way better) Let me know and I'll gladly tell you.

So I'm in my studio art class doing our "final" which was the class got split into 4 groups and we have to make statues out of another group. My group had to be a motorcycle, sound okay right?! WRONG! So I volunteered to be a wheel, so I crouched down into my wheel position and waited for everyone to get into place. So This guy kinda a little heavy was the seat so we all had to crouch down facing the same way (I was the back tire) So I'm staring at this guys butt. I forgot to tell you that he's pretty ugly. I know that sound really bad but he was! So his pants are too big and guess what? So are his undergarments. So I'm literally staring at this guys butt!!!! (that needs a waxing) My friend William is standing behind me just laughing away and there are only two other people who are seeing this guys butt. I was about 3 feet away from him and the girl that was positioning us wanted me to get close to the guy. I told her No! and she said I had to so that statue was complete. LAME! William is still laughing his head (butt...buh) off so I get a little closer and she gets mad again and tells me I have to get closer. So I finally get closer and just keep my eyes closed. William said "I think Shelby's super uncomfortable..." I raised my head without opening my eyes and said "very." Everyone in the class was laughing and my professor thought It was hilarious. It was Not!! AND I could not say why I didn't want to get closer to the guy.... How embarrassing for him!!!

Yeah, That was my day. Hope you enjoyed the story. And if not come ask me to tell it...

THANKSGIVING

So answer honestly ladies,

Am I the only one who gets Super depressed while looking at photography blogs and seeing allllll the people getting married? Yeah, Hi5. Who's not looking forward to the Holidays? weellll for that reason..

So Thanksgiving....

I'm very Thankful for Everything that God has done for me!!!! It' pretty incredible when I think about it.

Oh how I enjoy Thanksgiving!

So I made the cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and Green beans (the special ones) It would be thanksgiving if SOMEONE didn't get hurt. Don't worry, Sarah and I both did. I sliced my finger on a potato peeler annnd I don't remember what Sarah did. Mom wanted to eat by one. Haha. Per tradition we ate around 445 or 5. Sarah was smart and turned on the fire! Oh it was Ahhhh-mazing! I love sitting by the fireplace. I always sit right infront of the fire and Sarah always complains that she can't feel it. Whateves :)

My very favorite thing to eat during Thanksgiving is..... STUFFING!!! then hmmmmm... It's hard to pick! I love it all!!! Turkey, Cranberry sauce, Stuffing, Green beans, Mashed potatoes, Sweet potatoes, gravy, And Pumpkin pie :0 Yum!!




I need a vacation. Who wants to sponsor me to Australia?? Or Chicago?? Mmmmkay Thanks!

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!!
