Dear Kris,
That's a picture of a delicious Caramel Latte David made me! Seriously, we never need to eat out. Ever.
So sorry it took me this long to write. I guess I didn't have much to talk about. Until now...but I'll save that till the end. First up, I had told you that my mom started that interior decorator certificate course a couple of weeks ago. Her instructor told her to choose a place to decorate as her final project, and of course, she chose my apartment. She came up last weekend and decorated my living & dining room and my study area. I can't wait till she finishes my room and bathroom and everything else to show you!! :D It's finally going to look like a residence, not a dorm. Know what I mean?
I know we rarely wear makeup, but I bought this amazing eyeshadow set. I love it. You loved it when I was wearing a shade a while ago and I've been wanting to show you the whole palette. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's from Urban Decay and it's called "Naked Palette". It was a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it. Sooner or later, I'll try the smokey eye look, take a pic, and show it to you lol.
Anyway, before I tell you some huge, amazing, great news I have, I wanted to share with you a story I saw in the local news. I was trying to find the article, but I guess I'll just tell you. A judge in Orange County was giving the option of community service instead of just paying a fine. I'm not sure what the stats are, but those who chose to pay the fine instead of community service were repeat offenders. Isn't that amazing?! I love it. There were people criticizing her calling her a "social worker". WHO CARES?! If it works, shut up. I got so annoyed. People only complain. *SIGH* I admire that judge. She stood by her decisions. :)
Now... for the important news... around September or November of last year I was desperately searching for jobs, internships, volunteer opportunities. I eventually gave up since the Holidays were coming around lol laziness ensued. I don't remember most of the places I applied to. Today I received a letter from the Office of the Mayor of Orlando! I was accepted to the "2012 Mayor's City Academy". It's a ten week program that teaches you how the local government works. I am so so so excited!!! The first session will be on Thursday, March 8, at night. I will let you know when I get more info! :D!!!! All new knowledge that will be useful one day in DC.
Ahhhhh!! Good things are coming O_O I feel it!!
One last thing: i miss you! no coffee dates, no psycho gym dates, no candles.
See you -1.5 years :)
xo,
y
Just noticed "511" on our counter at the bottom. lol... were we all of the 511? lol
ReplyDeleteI honestly thought that coffee was from a cafe. I was like, where did she go this time? -.- but srsly.. we are so awesome. I just wanna have kids to hear them say how awesome we are O_O
I cannot wait to see your finished apartment!!! So exciting! Throw in something pink for meeeee :o Just a small thing O_O
I absolutely love that palette!! I've been wanting something like that. And other brighter colors as well. True, we don't wear alot. But if I had the colors to experiment, I would. I especially love how bright colors look on tan-dark skin. And the smokey eye, yeah. I wish we were brave enough to think we can pull it off casually like other people do. Why aren't we? I don't get it :o You only live once :o
I love that story about the community service vs. fines. It shows that by giving yourself to others and your community in service you end up giving yourself the greatest reward. There's power in that... all's I gotta say is: AMEN, AMEN! O_O
You should keep a journal of the eight weeks that you'll be doing that program! It would be so cool to look back on. Maybe we can post it as a section on this blog. Expanding our venture... I should do that with my job... Hmm. Anyway, CONGRATS!!!! So happy for you!! I'm so excited. I really love that we are both getting to do things we like. We can definitely learn from each other. Woohoo. And yes. Good things are coming!! AMEN, AMEN! lol mek!
