Had a wonderful Valentines Day, the third one together! Before he came to visit I made an absolutely delicious cake. It took 2 evenings to make it and I don't have a blender so it even gave me a nice arm work out, hah.
This is the
He definitely approved and said it's better than any grocery store cake he's had :-P . You know, that is pretty good as far as I am concerned but I'd go as far as to say it's one of the best cakes I've tasted, personally. I am a very big fan of raspberries and chocolate.
We also went to see the Blue Man Group with Trish and Brian. It was fun dressing up. My new peep toe shoes had their first time out. The only down side is they didn't quite fit right and I hadn't been able to get my
foot petals yet to have them fit comfortably and properly. So... my toes were very uncomfortable and they would slip... but, I still think it was worth it as I looked pretty awesome as a walking disco ball. That's how I felt anyway. Black full sequen tank and bandage blue mini skirt. It was a cold evening, but I cannot control the weather and I really wanted to wear sequins! It felt so appropriate for Blue Man Group! and I enjoyed being a disco ball in my room and Josh and I got a kick out of the sun reflecting off of me onto all the walls and the ceiling in my room. I tried to take a picture of it but it didn't come out but you can imagine what it looked like anyway. It was a great evening and we barely made it into the show on time. They are so hilarious! such comedians! it was like a party in there! Improv, Silly String, Paint, Giant colorful glowing weather balloon like things bouncing around...butt shaking. We laughed the entire time.
That was such a great weekend of just time to spend together and we also found good deals at Eddie Bauer Outlet near my apartment. That's probably the most excitement I'll have this month.
Life isn't super exciting but I have a lot to be thankful for.
I need to stop shopping though. Recently I found these awesome espadrilles from TJ Maxx:
They are a half size too big but that
was all they had and it does fit Ok! Especially with my foot petals :) They are cute, over half off, and
are just the type of shoes I've been looking for. I am now on the look out for well-priced(aka cheap but of good quality) purse to go with it and I've been on the look out for a good cream or camel colored trench coat for spring.
Now I've mostly just got class, culminating, and work. Not much else.
Essentially what I learned this week in class about aromatherapy is that the essential oils from Bath and Body (and just about any major commercialized oils) are essentially crap. They are the leftovers from the therapeutic grade oils. I could smell a huge difference between the yucky lavender and the good stuff. I could never figure out why the lavender lotions and stuff made me feel nauseous because this stuff smelled so clean and pure. The guest speaker talked to us a lot about energy fields and stuff and explained that dogs (and other animals) have super sensitive energy fields and absorb the energy fields of their humans. Which essentially means that Molly is a nervous wreck because Josh must have some anxiety that has not been healed (or one of the other of us who interact with her... if that is the case, it is probably my fault...). Regardless of which human (if it is a human's fault at all.. I mean really) if this woman could "fix" Molly... I think I'd buy into it. I mean I'd probably be impressed if she got Molly to even voluntarily come near her at all... or not be scared of the dishwasher... or the world. Fun class . Some of the stuff seems silly, some really interesting and useful, and some is way over my head. I am clearly not a pharmacy student... or else that midterm exam would have gone a lot better.
Oh, my roommate borrowed her adviser's dog on Saturday. Cute dog. yapper. dog got to go to the mall. My roommate is definitely not ready to actually have a dog though...it's not hopeless but it'll take some work first.
Well...what's next? I need to stop shopping. I plan on making
Panda Bread ! haha So fun! Trish is coming over on Sunday so we can bake these. Hmm... I need to work more on my culminating, I need to exercise more...I'm excited to see Josh the beginning of March. Ah, life...even though not much is going on I still appreciate what is going on at least.
