Late Nights After Early Mornings

Today was one LOOOONG day. I was actually dreading today since I still had lots of homework to finish (6 out of 8 pages of one paper and all 14 of another, I know nothing like procrastination.) And after meeting Mr.Friday for lunch we agreed that instead of spending the rest of the afternoon together we would meet up around dinner time so that I could work on homework. We had plans to meet up with some friends of mine for a birthday party later on in the evening. I spent (most of) the afternoon working on homework and then go ready for dinner and the party. I have to admit that I was excited since I don't normally have time for these kinds of things. Mr.Friday and I decided to go out for our favorite dinner, Sushi and met at my favorite sushi restaurant here in town. Two hours later we were ready to head to a new restaurant that had just recently opened here in my town to meet up with everyone else for the party. We headed in side and the place was packed, but no sighs of the birthday girl. After 15 minutes we decided to leave and find some place else to have our own party!!! (turns out they were running late and still went in to "Stand" at the bar:( Mr. Friday and I hit up Fridays for some appetizers and cocktails. I have to admit that when we are together we spend a lot of time talking about silly things, and what if scenarios something I find really funny. But 5 Rum and Cokes later and I remembered that I still had two papers to finish and could feel the starting of a buzz coming on, not very conducive for paper writing. I got home around 1:30 in the morning and am completely daunted by the amount of homework I need to finish still. Yikes.....

Talk you all later!

Pop of Color Thursday...

Today was another beautiful day in New York, a bit windy but still lovely. So I was really feeling spring fever. I decided to do a Spring makeup tutorial for my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WpcXFPBaRc&list=UU7eW1W4EwCNHklM4w1_wjpw&index=1&feature=plcp

I went with pink with a pop of purple, I really like the way it turned out

This look was super easy to do.

NYC Island Sunset pallette
MAC Vapor
ELF midnight Gel liner
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero

The liner is the fun part. This was a thin line on the top lash and dramatic winged liner on the bottom. With a pop of pink lip. I love this current trend, bright pink lips. I am so ready for Spring to be here!

Steph's Tidbits:

• Don't forget you can connect with me on Twitter @thatgreengirl24

It's Hump Day...

And oh what a hump it was. Wednesdays are always my long day at work. I work from 7 in the morning till 8 or 8:15 at night. But the weather was so nice here in NY that it made the day go by faster. I still have a lot of both of my papers to write but could not stay inside for very long today. I went for a long walk around a beautiful pond we have here in my town, and it really feels as though Spring just might be in the air, FINALLY.

Steph's Tidbits:

• For those of you that don't know, I am terrified of snakes and today we found 2 yes 2 in the yard. I was so freaked I put towels under the front door to plug up the gap so they couldn't get in, LOL
• I am so sad that there are only two episodes of Face off left for this season. But I can't wait for the new season of a Game of Thrones to start!
• Any new movies your excited about??

Then the Car Puked .....

My car that is. Today my car decided that it was going to revolt, it WASN'T going to take it anymore. Literally, the speedometer decided that it was taking a vacation. When I was idealling it said I was going 120MPH and when the car was off I was going 70. I am sure you are just as confused as I am right now, since she never warned me that she was taking a vacation I didnt have time to come up with a replacement. Luckily she still lets me drive her, but I drive her like an little old lady who's driver liscence taken away. I am terrified of getting a ticket so I drive way slowly. Other than that I have no real news, other than the fact that I have 2 papers due by the end of the week, one 10 pages and the other 14 pages. I have barley started either one, but am not worried since I did most of the research already and simply just need to sit down and write, something that I happen to be good at if I can toot my own horn for a second!

Steph's Tidbits:

• Last nights Pretty Little Liars episode was SOOOO good. Who has an idea who A is. I think I know but won't give it away. I think I might have to read the books now!
• I read by Paris blog over last night, and now I want to go back so bad. I had the most amazing time and that vacation honestly changed my life; read about it here http://nomadtraveler.blogspot.com/
• Anthony Bourdain has me totally addicted!

:(

It's Monday again..... Need I say more?

Warm in My Heart

Sundays..... I live for Sundays !! It may sound boring to most but to me this is the perfect way to spend a day. Get up late, around 11, and then spend the day watching movies in my Pj's and finish up any homework from the week. Glorious! That's how I spent my afternoon today except I added finishing up a bottle of wine I had opened on Friday night, slowly so as not to get drunk but to simply enjoy it. Super Glorious!

Hope Y'all enjoyed your Sunday too!

A Long Walk in the Bright Sunshine

After spending the morning struggling through new concepts in math class. I spent the rest of the day with Mr.Friday who (wonderfully) made it his mission to help me take my mind off other things and focus on simply having some fun. So after a lunch of pizza we went for a walk in the beautiful sunshine (this is becoming one of our favorite things to do!) We decided to go to the mall for a walk around and then Mr.Friday suggested we go an see the "Lorax" this was a great choice, nobody could come out of that movie feeling anything but upbeat. It was actually a cute movie with a wonderful message for kids. There is something that should be said about innocence, we are missing a lot of that in our world right now and kids should be given every opportunity to keep their innocence for as long as possible. After the movie we went for dinner at The Melting Pot. Okay so for those of you that don't know The Melting Pot is a fondu resturant, where you sit with a plate of raw food in front of you and a pot of cheese or oil or chocolate that is heated up and you dip the food into it. It is SOOOOO yummy! and a great way to end the evening. At the end of day I actually had a better outlook on the past week. That being said I still cant escape the fact that this past week I recieved some devestating news. Normally I am the type of person who shakes things off and moves on. Because of that I let people get away with things more often than not, especially people who are close to me, but not this time. I am not rolling over and pretending that I am okay with this. So thats where I stand tonight, thats my soapbox and I am not getting down.

A haft Bottle of Wine Later

And I am finally starting to feel a little bit better! I think my answers to question tonight from my professors might have sounded a little cooky, but that's a price I am willing to pay. But the wine is making very tired. So I am going to keep this short, and I hope that over the weekend an my posts next week will be a little happier. I apologize for all the melancholy that I've had but it really seemed to be the only thing I can seem to feel right now.

Happy Friday Y'all!

Cracks in the Ceiling

What? No Grey's Anatomy?? geez oh' petes this week cannot get any worse. Tonight I have absolutely no motivation, actually this whole week I have had no motivation, but tonight it seems worse. I have been lying on my bed staring at the ceiling trying to remember what it is that I am supposed to accomplish tonight, and I can't seem to remember. All I kept thinking is that I need to post, I don't want to give up on my goal. I can't give up. Strong words that are sometimes hard to follow.
