YES!!! I've FINALLY found the man of my DREAMS...



And yes, he is completely UNAVAILABLE...
-I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS...

Sunny days...

I can't believe what beautiful weather we are having right now. It is SUNNY. I'm not even mad about it at all. I sure hope it lasts. I went outside (pretend outside is a tree) and put a blanket on the grass and read my text book. It was so warm and I loved it.

-But then, I got distracted. I saw a couple of cars pull up to the park across the street from my house. Cami was sleeping, and I didn't want to wake her, but this couple I'm not even joking were I think, were sneaking around. And I don't think they were married. It was so weird. I mean if you're going to sneak around, do it discretely. I mean there are 2 girls laying on the grass watching you people. Hello. I can't say for sure if these people were really "not married" but it was just the weirdest situation. But the weirdest part was, they were caressing bottoms and rubbing and everything. And the kissing, boy was it passionate. And it wasn't like a hot young couple. They were kind of old. He had to have been in his late 50s, and well, let's just say she wasn't too young either. When they were leaving, the stood in the street, and I heard her proclaim, I'll call you. But it was kind of a whisper. She has to keep it discreet. But don't worry, she looked at Cami and I before she got in her car, and after she had driven off. Also, he had on a wedding band on...

p.s. The couple wasn't Zac and Vanessa. I would have freaked out if it was... The picture is just for show. Duh.

Homework, homework, homework...

I can't even begin to explain how much homework I have. Isn't your last semester of college supposed to be like, easy? Yeah right. I've been rudely awakened to the world of homework, not hanging out, and doing, well, HOMEWORK! Someone kill me, please. I think my head is going to explode if I don't stop sometime.

-I should be doing homework right now, but yep, you guess it I'm blogging.
-I've got to FINISH an online class, 3 weeks before graduation. I sure hope I can finish it...
---If anyone would like to help me complete these tasks, just tell me everything you know about Psychology of Gender. (why I picked this class you ask? I DON'T KNOW!!!)

HELP ME....
Yes, the authors last name IS LIPS...

New York, New York

Here are some pictures from MY New York trip, and not just pictures of New York from the internet...

This was outside the Shake Shack. The line was 45 minutes...

This was the first night, Wednesday Night, Mary Poppins. I loved Bert, again...

Carmines Family Style Italian...Huge Dishes, but delicious. After Mary Poppins.

We went to Buddakan in the meat packing district. It was good!

Buddha+Picture=for Matt...

China Town: The Newspaper was in Chinese, obviously, and we thought it was so weird because Matt can read that.

Dinner at a Pizza place in Little Italy, let's just say it wasn't the best Pizza I've ever had!

I loved going to New York, as you can tell from my previous post. I hope to go back very soon...

New York, I Love You...

HELLO NEW YORK CITY, MY SOON TO BE HOME (Maybe...)

-So last week, I got invited to join my parents, Monte and Lisa Holm, and Julie Holm. We arrived, Julie and I, pretty late on Tuesday night, and ate some pizza, had a 1/4 of a Magnolia's cupcake, and then went to bed. The next morning, we, (Gretchen, Me, Julie, and Lisa), met Leigh Stephens and walked through Central Park. And let me tell you, the weather was B-EA-U-TIFUL! It was warm, and all you needed was a light jacket.

-We then went back to the apartment we were staying in, on 56th 6. Perfect location, I can't even begin to explain it. Then we walked around and just loved life. We went to Mary Poppins (my 3rd time) and went to Carmine's afterwards, for come Italian Family Style Cuisine. Oh and as a side note, the guy who played Bert in Mary Poppins, I LOVE HIM!
-Then the next day, was probably one of my favorite days. We went to this Barney's Warehouse Sale. It was the best thing. We walked in, and of course, New York City, Fashion Central, and it was packed. I walked by the shoes, and saw a million pairs I wanted. I pulled out a bunch of Christian Louboutin's, which, I'm not even joking when I say this, he is my dream designer shoe. I will one day own a pair of his shoes...So as you can tell, I didn't get them. But my mom and I walked around and found some really great buys. But while I was waiting in line to get the match to my shoe, I noticed that there was a guy in front of me who looked really familiar. I mean this is NYC, how many people can I know, right? Well this man was in a movie, that I KNOW I've seen, but I can't think of his name, and I still can't. I'm 100% positive that I've seen him in something. And I know this is probably coming as a shock to you, because I usually know who celebs are. (It's not something I'm proud of people). But the weirdest part is that I can't think of anyone who is in the move with him. If I could, I wouldn't be sharing this story. So I was just staring at him, trying to figure out who he was. And it just so happens that I had forgotten my phone at home, so there was no way I could have taken a picture of him. LAME. I'll think of it though one day, trust me. So we left this sale, and left with some great purchases. Then we went home, showered and then went to look for some bedding for me, because we are redoing my room at home in STG. (It's about time, I'm going to finally get rid of the carousel over my toilet. Hello I'm 23!) And then we just walked around the city and again, I was loving life.
-Then the next day, we went for a walk in the park again, and this time the weather wasn't so nice. It was a bit more chilly, and I was regretting not wearing a little heavier jacket. But after that, we again, showered and changed and went to the Mac store, which is the coolest store, hello its underground. And then, I made Gretchen, Lisa and Julie come into Bergdorf Goodman's with me.

-And of course, I asked about hiring. Well folks, it isn't that easy, we are in a recession, and most of the hiring in New York City are frozen. Eek! That is scary. We walked around, and I found the most adorable pair of shoes/sandals. One pair was Kors Michael Kors, and they were so comfortable, and they were brown, with a kind of Indian pattern on it. So cute! Then the other pair were See by Chloe. They were gray and also so adorable. But both cost a pretty penny, so I'm saving up for them! But let's just say that Bergdorf's is great. We then hurried home and went to a restaurant named Buddakan. It's in the meat packing district, 79th 9. It was quite delicious. I enjoyed it. It is an Asian Fusion type of cuisine, this is the words of Doug, he's the expert.
-We did so many things, I can't even begin to explain them. We did go to Bloomingdales, and finally got my bedding! Wahoo! I'm so excited for it. We are copying my room like Serena Van Der Woodson's room, who is a character on Gossip Girl.

-While I'm on the topic, I LOOKED FOR THEM EVERYWHERE! I'm not even joking. I wanted to find Chuck Bass or Nate Archibald or yes even cute/nerd Dan Humphrey. I love them all. And I would date the real person too. Freak, I'd probably marry them if they asked...
-But we got yogurt at Bloomingdales. One word AMAZING!

- I love them and the TV show so much. It is the lifestyles of the rich. ha. One day, one day, right?
My dad, mom and I went to the Guggenheim, and I really enjoyed that, I'd never been. But dad wanted to hurry and rush through it. Which is fine. After that, we went and saw Shrek the Musical, and it was pretty funny. Entertaining. Then we took a 40 minute cab ride to get these doughnuts, that are supposedly the BEST in the world. We were all for trying a Creme Brulee one, and of course when we got there, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY!!! Let's just say that Doug was a little upset with me. Oh well. Then we looked for fabric, for my room, and then went to find dinner. We went to a pizza place and the best thing happened...
----SOME MAN DECIDED IT WAS COOL FOR HIM TO GRAB MY BOTTOM. Was he serious? Yes he was. I turned and said "Excuse me", and he kept walking and put his hands up in the "I don't know" what you're talking about. Seriously? Some guys. But dinner was good, and then Sunday, our last day approached. We went to church, brunch, and then Julie and I had to pack our bags to leave. BOO!
-We packed quickly and then took a cab to the airport, but how nicely, our parents minus Doug went and got us some Cupcakes from Magnolia's so we could bring them home. And they are worth the trip home.

I loved loved loved this trip to New York. It really helped me out in my decision on whether or not I wanted to move there. And I do! Also a few other random things we did....
1. 2 Movies: Shopaholic and He's Just Not That Into You
2. Dylan's Candy Store (Ralph Lauren's daughters store. $10.99/lbs. Eeek!)
3. Facials, and not good ones might I add.
4. And lots of other really fun things that I can't think of.

I LOVE NEW YORK CITY!!!

GRADUATION...WHAT?

I'm terribly sorry that I haven't posted, in well, lets just say a while. I've had nothing to post about, my life is BORING, and even thought about deleting my account. I just don't think I can. It is how I keep in touch with friends from home and you know, all that good stuff.

Anyway, so I'm graduating on May 1, 2009. I can't even believe it is finally happening. I never ever thought the day would come. But is just a few, well 2 1/2 months. I can't even think about it. I get to excited, and then I think how much I have to do before the big day. So I stop. But I can't believe it, seriously. It is surprising to me, first because no one thought I would do it, even me. And secondly, because it has been a freakin' million years. Okay, just 5, but lets just say that it seem like a lot longer. But I'll be a college grad, with a bachelors degree in Communications.


What am I going to be doing you ask? Well that is a very good question. I have no idea. I might move up to Salt Lake for a little while, because Matt will be home by then, and I just want to hang out with my brother, he's only been gone for 2 years..geez. But I'll most likely work at JJ's. That is if Darin will have me back. He'd be silly not to. I'm still convinced I'm the best employee he's ever had. And I'm not being cocky either...

But after that, I might move to North Carolina and work in my dad's restaurant out there, or I might move to New York City and most likely go to make up school. Still thinking about it people.

I feel really fortunate to be able to have the opportunity to go an experience anything. I'm only 21... (23) What's the difference? And I'm single, that makes everything better...(or does it?) I'm still debating that question. I'll let you know when I come to a conclusion. Well here is post 1 for all those loyal readers...(do I actually have those?) So I am personally dedicating this post to Erica Patten, she got on my back about it, and I thank you Erica. ha
