There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." -Dave Barry

It's pretty hard to be efficient without being obnoxious. -Kin Hubbard

If... you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning. -Catherine Air

Going on a cruise Monday with two of my besties from high school. :) So excited!



It's in the singing of the street corner choir.

The reason men cheat:

|
"The majority said it was an emotional disconnection, specifically a sense of feeling under appreciated. A lack of thoughtful gestures," marriage counselor M. Gary Neuman says. "Men are very emotional beings. They just don't look like that. Or they don't seem like that. Or they don't tell you that."

Sad....yet informative. Don't cheat.

"Anyway, I'm off to the gym."

I told Karin that I'd give her a list of websites I often check to keep up with the latest fashions.

So, you know, here is a brief sample:


I mean, duh. I tend to check their juniors, shoes, and then whatever is being advertised on the main page. Today it is ball gowns...Joy!


They have really interesting gifts and things.
And who doesn't want the purchase bacon flavored floss?
Or a rug that looks like tighty whities??


Urbanoutfitters.com
Really different clothes. Funkytown.



edressme.com
Beautiful, amazing dresses. My friend Laura got me hooked on this site. Mmm.



So there you go...a small sampling. :)

Thus far.

Today:
-Went to church. Cried all over myself. It was pretty much "Testimonial Day" and several people got up and spoke. Things that people said were very poignant to me and right in line with everything I had been thinking about recently.
-Went for a walk in an attempt to stop the flow of boogs and to think a little.

-Went back to the apartment. Cleaned everything that would withstand a good scrubbing and a not-so-chinsy dousing of Soft Scrub.
-Drove to Akron to practice with Sean for an hour.
-3pm: Akron University dress rehearsal for the upcoming competition.
-Drive home: Cooked stuffed bell peppers. Mmmmmmmm.
-Watch TV, bothered my roommate.
-Now: At the library, oh yes, because I haven't had Internet all year. Time to crank out some Product Development specification sheets, Son!

Ooh wah, ooh wah, ooh wah, Kitty!

Any suggestions for good books that are set in New York City??

Digital, digital get-down.

|
I've gone through an insane amount of cameras.
Most have been broken.
One was lost/stolen.


TIME FOR ANOTHER!
But what to buy???

I want a white one...why haven't I seen any? Isn't this America?!

What I wouldn't give...

|

...Just like love. Except no fear of losing, and it wasn't tough.

|


Isn't there a famous painting that looks something like this??


I've started riding my bike. It's bad news. I'm such a hazard to myself and everyone around me when I'm riding. I think I need a mountain bike. It seems to me that road bikes do not have any shock absorbers? I could be wrong...but everything hurts.

Well, it made me laugh.

The date: was fun. Dinner was at a very lovely golf course, The Quarry. HOWEVER, Lesleyfi could have a great time with just about anybody just about anywhere so...there's that. I had to tell Homeboy that I didn't feel any "romantic connection" which was returned with an "OK. Fair enough." Sad.

So. My romantic adventures shall carry on!

Baila Dura was yesterday and was probably the best learning experience of my life...I mean, as far as dancing goes. It was incredible though my feet currently feel like ground beef.

(I've mastered multiple spins in a row...meaning I think I completed over 6 in a row last night. It was awesome.)

Today's news.

|
TODAY:

-I'm currently registered to graduate August 2009.
-I've applied for a Marketing minor (Which, after this semester, I will have earned)
-I will be taking 3 classes next semester to finish everything up. (12 hours, yay!)
-I'm going on a date tonight. Ahhhh...

Competition pictures.

HAPPY HAPPY!

|
Happy birthday to my incredibly beautiful, wonderful, big sister, Natalie!!!
I love you like a fat kid loves cake.
(A fat kid, mind you, that just so happens to be on a diet.
Ouch. That's a lot of love.)

At least now I can say that I am trying.

"Take all that you have
And turn it into something you would miss if
Somebody threw that brick
That shattered all your plans"

BRAND NEW CONCERT TONIGHT!!!!
I'm crawling out of my skin, I couldn't be more excited.


"Do you miss the blend
Of color she left in your black and white field?"

Think this through with me, let me know your mind.

-I have a sore throat...and because of this little fact I woke up at 7am
+I made a DELICIOUS breakfast with the extra morning time that I had.
-I have so much laundry to do it's an embarassment. :(
+I'm done with 3/4 papers that are due today!
+I'm coming home this Wednesday!
+++I'M GOING TO SEE BRAND NEW!
+I just discovered The Grateful Dead...me likes.


"Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait,
Woh - oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?"

Cute or a little too "ghetto fab?"

These earrings...well, I just can't tell.

If I had $250 to burn...

It's absurd how hard, or really, how seemingly unlikely it is to meet new people. I mean, I'm surrounded by tons of new people everyday, and it is just kind of alarming how difficult it is to actually have a converstation with any of these homies.

So to get aroudn this I just make eye contact with everyone. Makes them a little uncomfortable....just the way I like things to be.

I'm writing a paper about "Green Marketing." Actually, I'm writing about how I think it's all just a marketing ploy. Exciting, right?

Then I need to put together a faux news release media packet. Barf.

I lost my planner and thus I have no idea what is going on in my life.
This is bad news, indeed.

I think...in celebration of MY 1ST PLACE VICTORY(!!!) think I might just get myself a new pair of dance shoes...and to prove that everyday I'm becoming even more disgustingly like my mother, I'm considering getting BEIGE/NUDE shoes. Vom.



Shoes: Very Fine Brand-Styles C6005 & C1672, respectively.

OR the shoes I REALLY want to get...

Me...except for the caffeine pill overdose.

Today:
I booked a flight to Miami, FL today. I'm going a cruise with two of my best girl friends, Angie and Heather. We've been friends since early on in high school and to celebrate our future graduation from college, we're going on a cruise! Ahhh! We'll be gone from December 15th-December 20th. Exciting...and scary. I can't wait.

I am (supposedly) competing in my first salsa competition today. Ahhhh!

...Though my name doesn't seem to be on the list. Hermmmmm.

Ok. Off to figure things out.

Lesleyfi does read books (pt. deux)

|
I just finished a couple of books that I've had here for a bit.

THE LIAR'S CLUB
Mary Karr is a fantastic writer. The book is all about her screwed up childhood and is very similar to THE GLASS CASTLE, which is another amazing book that I'd recommend. If you want to feel even more grateful for your own upbringing then read this book. It's a goodie.

I'd give it a 8.8/10. I kept looking forward to reading it each night.

THE KITE RUNNER
This was a good book, though similar to the aforementioned books, it got a little creepier than I had expected. It was a interesting read though I wasn't as hooked on reading this as I had been for THE LIAR'S CLUB.

I'd give it a 6.9/10. If you're into reading about how a young boy's life was like, growing up in the Middle East 30 years ago, then you'd probably enjoy this book.

Soaring on the wings of eagles...sorta.

|
Lesleyfi has conquered the flip!



OK, so if you're curious to see more dancing just go to http://video.google.com/ and search "Lesley Sean." There are an absurd amount of videos for your viewing pleasure. Leave comments, tell me what you think! :)

Let me take you down because I'm going...

SCHOOL.

Wowza. So many papers due in such a short amount of time.
This...is rough.


1ST EVER SALSA COMPETITION THIS WEEKEND!

Crick?

So my back has been hurting recently, so on my online quest to find something to help I discovered this. Whaaa? The NECKpro Traction Device looks like one of my worse nightmares. "So I just grab this lever and pull? OK..."

I miss Westerville. Maw.
