Please Pray

The Bachelor

Did anyone else watch the Bachelor last night? Jason was by far my favorite guy from last season and I was so sad when Deann didn't pick him in the end! Well at least thats what we thought! I couldn't BELIEVE that in the season preview they show Deann coming back and telling him she wants another chance! Supposedly, in November Deann told her then fiance Jesse that she "loved him but wasn't 'in love' with him"...pretty much the same thing she told Jason. I'm *hoping* she's only back for one episode because I don't wanna see Jason get his heart broken again! What were your thoughts? Would you want Jason and Deann back together?

Happy New Year!

Happy 2009! I hope everyone had a good end to 2008. Mine was slightly stressful with school, sorority, living away from home, work, etc. I am excited though to see what 2009 has to offer!! One of my resolutions this year is to update the blog more often! I thought by giving it a little makeover I would be motivated to keep her looking fresh and new! Thought I would start off with a little Favorite Things tag. I've saw this one a while back on a couple blogs and thought it would be fun. Here it goes....

Clothes

I love Lilly for their bright colors, fun prints, and uniqueness. No matter what kinda of day I'm having, putting on some Lilly makes it better.

City

Atlanta is my absolute favorite city! Everytime I visit I like it even more and can possibly see myself living there after I graduate. Its the perfect combination because it's big city living but still in the good ole South!

Sweets

I could eat cheesecake 24/7. I also love all things peanut butter, so this reese's cheesecake seemed perfect!

Drink

My #1 Addiction! seriously if I don't have my Diet Coke in the morning I am not a happy girl. And chilled in the can is always best. I will gladly take DC over any kinda of coffee any day.

Music

I love so many different types of music I can't pick just one, so these 2 are some of my current faves. Britney's new cd is filled with awesome tracks to blast in the car with the windows down. And bless her heart I'm glad to see her finally get her act together. And Mamma Mia's soundtrack is fabulous! Who knew Meryl Streep could sing as well as she acts?!?

TV Show

Days of our Lives is my TV guilty obsession. If anyone else out there watches soap operas, you know how frustrating they can be, but no matter what you always sit down and watch them! Although I don't know how much longer that'll be the case since my absolute favorite couple is leaving!! :(

I discovered J&K+8 a lil over a year ago but quickly developed an obsession for this adorable family! Aedan is by far my favorite kid, but all of them are just too precious and adorable you can't help but love them all. And there's a rumor going around that the family may be moving to SC!

Film

I couldn't have picked 2 more different movies, but I can't imagine never seeing either one again. Even though I love all Disney movies, Little Mermaid is by far my fave. I can't explain it, but since I was 3 years old I was obsessed with this movie. My parents bought it for me on DVD last Christmas so I could watch it at my apartment since I don't have a VCR!

The Sex and the City movie is just a perfect movie to watch with the girlfriends. It makes me realize that even though me and the girls are all different and have unique interests, we just seem to fit perfectly together. The movie I feel also gave storylines to each character that really showed their strengths and weaknesses and was true to the ladies that we fell in love with on the show.

Workout

I'm lucky enough that we have a Firm gym here in town and therefore I'm forced to go! I joined back in July and it has been the only workout program I can stick to! Next week me and my dad are starting their 12 week bootcamp program to start the new year off right!

Pastry

I can do without all the glazy fruit filled pastries, but give me a bagel and some cream cheese and I'm a happy girl. USC has an einstein bagels in our student union and many mornings after 8am statistics my friend B and I would run down there and grab a bagel with a HUGE amount of cream cheese. I'm not gonna lie it sometimes was the only motivation to go to that class!

Coffee

If I do drink coffee, it has to be something sugary that doesn't really taste like coffee. Starbucks' nonfat caramel macchiato does the trick, especially on those class days when I have to wait an hour for my next class since my 1st one let out 45 minutes early!

I'm a Kappa!!!

Hello Ladies! This past week has been crazy busy with classes starting and rush, but I am proud to say I am a KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA!!! I am so excited :D Bid day was Sunday and we got the CUTEST tshirts (ill try to post a pic later). Then we went back to the house where Sticky Finger's catering and a DJ were waiting on us. Afterwards we rented out a whole theater to see House Bunny! VERY funny movie. Monday night we had our new member meeting and our first chapter meeting. Tonight is our official pinning ceremony :) So thats been my big excitement. Classes are going ok so far, but even taking just 4 classes along with all kinds of sorority stuff and of course we can't forget FOOTBALL!!! Our first game is tomorrow and I could not be more excited!!! I'll make sure to post pictures sometime soon! Hope everything is going well with yall!!

All moved in!

Hello! Sorry for the lack of posting the last couple weeks. After that first chemistry test my class go a lot more intense, but I got a B! So now this weekend my whole focus has been moving into my new apartment!! I don't have any pictures because 1) im taking a break from packing to write this and 2) my camera is still packed away! But as soon as I find it I'll be sure to post some pictures!

This coming week I'm working a WHOLE bunch (30 hours instead of my normal 8) because I haven't been working many hours because of summer classes and I took off all of next week because I am rushing YET again! I don't know if I'm crazy or what, but after a year the desire to be in a sorority is still there. So here we go again! If you girls have any advice for me please let me know! Hope everyone has a good week!!

Woo Hoo!!!

Just found out I got an 86 on my first chemistry test today!!! This really calls for some Lilly rewards but unfortunately I have no money :( Anyone wanting to contribute to the "Natalie getting good grades" fund, feel free!

PINK goes Garnet and Black!

When I got the email that Victoria's Secret was doing collegiate collections, I was SO excited!! Hey, any excuse to add more garnet and black to my wardrobe ;) They only have 4 pieces online, but it says there is going to be a couple more things in the store, including a blanket (which would be fabulous for those chilly night games) undies, and a stadium jacket! Things like this make me wish football season was here!!

eBay!!!

Does anyone else have a *slight* obsession with eBay? Mine seems to come in stages. I can go for months without buying or even bidding on anything, then all of sudden I find I have a bunch of packages coming my way! Between me and my mom (who has also developed a love for eBay) there's not telling how many purses, scarves, wallets, clothes, and pairs of shoes we've bought. Sometimes they're not as new as we would like, but mostly all the items we've gotten have been great!! I've never bought makeup off eBay before, and since I don't work as much because of summer classes, saving a little money on my Clinique or Bobbi Brown must haves sounds appealing. Here's a couple things I'm anxiously awaiting to fall on my doorstep!

I tried on these espadrilles when they were in the stores 2 summers ago in New York City and LOVED them! But couldn't really justify the $118 price tag. Since then I bought another pair with a different color combination and they are SO comfortable. So spending $20 including shipping was a no brainer AND they have tennis rackets on them!!

I am SOO excited about this tote arriving! This will be my first Herve Chapelier! I wanted a tote that could be used for school but wasn't too big in case I wanted to use it as a purse. The color combo isn't bad because it's not going to show a lot of dirt. And I got it for a steal at less than $20 including shipping!! I'll let you know how they look when they arrive!

Wanted

Yesterday I went with one of the girls to see 'Wanted'. I had heard the basic story-line of the movie and found it intriguing, even though I usually don't like violent movies. If you haven't heard, the basic story-line of the movie is that there is this group called the Fraternity that is made up of assassins who go around and kill people who are going to bring harm to others in the future. Maybe it's just because I don't watch this kind of movie on a regular basis, but I found myself wondering what the whole point of the movie was after seeing the ending. I don't want to give anything away, but if I was making this movie, I would have done more with the story-line. Did anyone else see the movie this weekend? Thoughts?
