issues.

Seriously. Don't get me wrong, I want to write something, but nothing is coming to mind! Don't you hate those ruts? I feel like I have something profound or important or clever just waiting to come out yet nothing is running through my brain!

Possible reasons for this:

1. finals is taking over my brain, and I have no room left to think about real life

yeah, I think that's about it.

There aren't any super exciting stories going on. Nothing to report, no news, nada. Zip.

....It did snow today! That's pretty exciting, I suppose? Now I can go sledding and build a snowman. Favorite. I need a new coat too. Any ideas of where to get one? I realized this today: I only have peacoats. Seriously, I have 7 pea coats and only one of them is semi-casual. I need to get a cute casual coat/jacket. A brown or black one would be fabulous, something neutral. Something that I can wear with sneakers or flats and not feel like it's over dressed? And its got to be inexpensive. Holiday spending stresses me out.

Do you love the ramblings that are this post? Me too.

Don't hate.

I promise I'll have more meaningful/interesting/profound/fun/etc posts in the future. For now, I need this rambling rut.

I think

I tend to think a lot.

Sometimes I think I overthink,

but today it seems I'm all thinked out.

1. Pass the Sign

2. King Elephant

3. React and Act!

5. In Manner of the Adverb

6. Psychiatrist

7. Smurf

8. Vegetable Game (played without showing teeth)

9. The Name Game

Rest Stops

I really wish I would have looked up this website before the roadtrip to California.

3 bathrooms where we stopped were dee-sgust-ing.

1. Some Maverick gas station bathroom in Winnemucca. Stunk. And had cleaning supplies strewn all over which obviously were not used.

2. Some random side street rest area gas station bathroom somewhere in between Sacramento and Reno. SICK. Not only did it stink, but there was graffiti everywhere!

3. On the way home we didn't want to stop at that same Maverick so we kept going to the rest stop (never a good idea) Those bathrooms were just weird! The toilet was so low to the ground there was no need for a stall door, and the little things were metal!


I'm sorry but bathrooms need to meet a certain criteria.



1. They must have working/operating toilets, sinks, etc. And must be well stocked!

2. The floor must look like it's been mopped/cleaned in the last 24 hours. If I feel gross walking on the tiled floor, it is not okay

3. Must be well lit.

4. It must smell nice! If not smelling nice at least have no odor.

5. It wouldn't hurt to have a sitting room like at the Conference center or Nordstrom! Goodness.


All those nasty bathrooms I had to experience did help me draw out a floorplan of "the perfect bathroom", however. So that did take up a good half hour of the 12 hour drive.. But still.

gah.

it seems everywhere I look there are people in like or in love

holding hands
cuddling
smiling into each others eyes
being adorable

I don't understand how they do it.

I can't seem to bring myself to get to that point.

Half of me says if I wanted it enough and if it was right it would just happen.

The other half says I should just stop worrying and go for it.

having a crush doesn't scare me

it's the doing something about it part that freaks me out

what to do, what to do.

12:15 am

I'm off to San Francisco in 4 hours and 45 minutes. I haven't slept a wink, or done an ounce of packing. Will somebody PLEASE motivate me?! I seriously am very excited to be going.. this is my first time to SF after all.. I just feel super lazy right now! I've got a zillion and a half things to do before I go to bed. Which will probably be around the time we leave anyhow. Gah.

In San Fran I will be:

• 
  
  Checking out the Art Institute of SF


• 
  
  Seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in person for the first time. yay.


• 
  
  Going to see Wicked. double yay.


• 
  
  Trying on some real Christian Louboutins. My knock offs just aren't cuttin it. If I can't afford them, I'm at least going to try them on. Saks Fifth Avenue or Neiman Marcus, here I come.


• 
  
  Eating Thanksgiving Dinner in a hotel room. eugh. Oh well.

Wish me luck. Happy Blogging for a few days until I get back! Pictures/Updates to come.

Ps I have a wee crush on a boy. Seriously, I haven't had a crush on anyone in probably 4 months. That's a long time. :)
