It's in the bag

Ashley from A Hasty Life invited me to join her in her blog crawl "It's in the bag!"  I am so excited to be part of this, especially considering that I desperately needed to clean out my purse!

This is what my purse looks like.  I got it from Forever 21 for around $30 I believe.  I try not to spend more than that on a purse!

You can tell that it has been awhile since I have cleaned out my purse because I currently have about 4 paycheck stubs...don't worry, I have direct deposit!  I have been carrying around my passport because my renewed license has yet to show up (I renewed it nearly 2 months ago!) and you never know when the need to buy a bottle of wine might come up!

Here I have my work schedule, movie stubs, a plethora of lip care necessities, a roll of quarters from my tips, a cute bobby pin made for me by my dear friend Kaylyn, my house key (I don't have a key ring for it...though I probably should since I seem to lose it all the time!) and New Skin...it is the best thing I have used.  Since my hands are in sanitizer water all day from work New Skin it perfect for sealing cuts on my hands!

I was sick a while ago and have not taken out my cold care products...I might need them one day!  Lotion is a must...my hands are always so dry...this is the best lotion I have found, I definitely recommend it!  And mints of course!

And finally, my wallet, car keys, and camera (still in the baggie from when I had to turn it in while I was taking the CBEST!)

Sorry it took me so long to post this...its hard find computer time around here sometimes!  I had so much fun going through my purse, and finally cleaning it out!  Make sure to check out Girly Things By E who posted yesterday and A Soldiers Girl Thoughts who is posting tomorrow!

Maybe I have it right this time.

So I have been trying to put some thought into my goal list for 2011.  I think I have come up with some fairly good ideas, if I do say so myself.

1.) Apply to Grad School.

2.) Go wine tasting in Napa.

3.) Start playing the piano again.

4.) Learn to crochet a pair of slippers.

5.) Have a dinner party (I know, it was on my list last year...but this year it WILL happen!).

6.) Join an alumni chapter for ZTA.

7.) Be less timid!

8.) Go Zip Lining.

9.) Write, Write, Write

10.) Hike Mist Trail with my aunt.

This feels very do-able...

C'est La Vie.

Oh, New Years.  I think this is one of the most memorable that I have had.  Lets just say that I spent midnight on the side of the road with my friends changing a flat tire...thats pretty much how the entire night went.  But you know what? It wasn't as bad as it sounds... especially the part when a tow truck drove right by us without asking if we needed help!  I think that having a not so idealistic New Years will hopefully bring a better 2011...or at least this is how I am choosing to look at it.  I am adding to my list...#5- Don't be so timid.  I think that bravery and fearlessness is what I am going to need for this upcoming year of uncertainty.

On another note...This makes me so happy, even though it is rather old.

A Birthday and A Year.

My 24th birthday has come and gone.  It was quite nice actually for all the anticipation that I had for it.  Monday night went to a dinner for some of my dearest friends who came in town from Minnesota.  I was not expecting them to sing Happy Birthday to me, but it was a very nice surprise.  Then, Wednesday was my actual birthday and I had some friends over to just hang out...it was a lot of fun if I do say so myself.  Now that the new year is upon us I look back at the list that I made of goals to complete for this year.  Unfortunately, I did not complete them all, which is OK I suppose.  But the list that I am compiling for next year will be a tad shorter (probably 10-12 items) and more attainable.  So far I only have 4 things on it

1.) Apply to Grad School

2.) Go wine tasting in Napa

3.) Start playing the piano again

4.) Learn to crochet a pair of slippers.

...what else do you think I should add?  I am having a little bit of trouble thinking of new things to put on it...

Well...until next year!

Christmas music is one of my favorite things about this time of year.  I am compiling a list here of my favorites, but I'm sure that I have missed a few...you know when you hear it on KOST and you think, "I love this Christmas song!" I am sure I will be driving tomorrow and will hear all the songs I should have added.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow
