30 day challenge!

SO hi. I started a blog on my weight watchers site (yay two blogs), and really really liked the idea... so I figured I would use it on here two....
It's a 30-day Blog challenge (I found it here: http://community.weightwatchers.com/Blogs/ViewPost.aspx?threadID=1250288 ), and it's suppose to help start a blog and find yourself etc for weight loss (woohoo).
so..

Day 1- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

How recent can you get than a Christmas picture, right? The guy I'm seeing took this of me at the Holiday party for the law firm I work at, week 1 of weight watchers. Love the dress, HATE the full frontal photo (thus why the side one is here haha).


Now for facts...
1. I'm less than 2 months away from being 22, and am tired of looking the way that I look (aka ----> that).
 
2. I am on the verge of being in a relationship with an awesome guy (one who watches Glee and texts me about it! YAYY), and am completely happy about it. We've been seeing each other for 2 months, the 1st month being the friend/dating stage, then the second month being the serious stage... tonight's our first Christmas type of ordeal (woohoo again).
 
3. I work 2 jobs, and am currently typing this up at one of them (which has a comfy chair and my own desk... aka not Depot).
 
4. I am an Elementary Education major and working towards my bachelors degree.
 
5. I just made Dean's List with said major. Yeah... I'm really happy. :D
 
6. I have an obsession with the brand Aerie, which makes women's undergarments (geared towards the twenty-somes), workout clothes, pjays, shirts, winter wear, and cosmetics. It's my love and I can easily spend about $100 there every time I walk in the door...
 
7. I also have an obsession with cute office supplies, especially post-it notes, and my office desk (and bulletin board) are COVERED in different colors... I got a bunch for Christmas, and cannot wait to add them to the array.
 
8. I'm starting to learn how to cook... and bake both. Very very slowly, but I'm working on it. Last week, I made (with the help of the gentleman mentioned in #2) Chicken Cordon Bleu... and it was OH SO DELICIOUS. Like Siriusly. omg. wonderful. And I love making Red Velvet Cake as well... besides that, uhh, I can burn chocolate really well. As I said, working on it.
 
9. I love pretty dresses. But I can only wear 1 style, which has to be an A-line (think of a ball gown) skirt, and usually needs a halter with it. I like the poofs lol. My goal for losing weight is to be able to wear pretty dresses and skirts much more often than I do now (hooray for self concious).
 
10. I'm very picky with my style... I hate prints, and will not wear them... especially if they look like triangles because they make me look bigger. (gross)
 
11. My favorite story is Beauty and the Beast... for Christmas, I got 9 items regarding said movie.... a Lenox Belle, a Snowbabies Belle, a Jim Shore Belle/Beast, two reusable shopping bags, a Belle bell ornament, a Children's book with the story, the DVD, and a scarf (that I have yet to figure out how to work). I'm a happy Courtney.
 
12. I love to read and I go through books like there's no tomorrow... currently working on the Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged, so it's 117 chapters), it should take me a little haha. I started it 2 days ago, and am about 150 pages in.
 
13. I love ribbons. They're wonderful accessories for the hair... if cut long enough.
 
14. I love bright colors, except if I have to wear them. I feel that bright colors are better to be looked at... for instance, my favorite color is lime green, but you are seriously mistaken if you think you will catch me in a shirt that color.... dark green, yes, lime green? hell to the no.
 
15. I am a die-hard Philly sports fan... and am going to go watch the Eagles kick ass tonight with my guy at Buffalo Wild Wings, and am extremely excited about the prospect of it all.
 
 
 
 
So yeah, now let's see if I'm any good at this whole updating EVERY day thing, shall we? :)

blahs

I'm completely bored.
Go figure.

We've had about 20 customers at Home Depot in the past 3 hours now... it's 5:21, and I'm stuck here til 7:15.

At least Tony and I ordered pizza for ourselves. lol.

Welcome to the Snow Storm of December 2010 much?

We sold out of snow shovels at 11 am this morning, same with blowers. So don't look for them. :)

just a quick note

Happy weekend before Christmas!!!!! :)

I found out that this is NOT blocked from the depot (where I am right now hehe), soooo... you're getting a Courtney update while I'm bored at work yayyy!

I'm currently trying to find some recipes online for next week cuz I promised the boy I would cook (yayy... I think), so I'm trying to find something good that we'd both like and that won't take forever.

I think we're gonna do dinner on Christmas Eve possibly too, so it's gotta be like really good. ACK! HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

Speaking of boy, he should be coming over here soon for his break... He ended up working from 9 am until 10 tonight cuz he wants monies to buy himself a car (yayy I wont have to drive more). lol.

Ok, I don't wanna get caught so BYE.

Happy December!

Sorry for not posting (sooo soo sorry!!!), but holidays are always the time of year that's super busy for everyone, myself included.

Now, on top of my two jobs and full-time schooling (which I only take a two week break from during this time of year, as opposed to last year's two month break), there is thrown in holiday parties, gift shopping, birthdays, and date nights. Yes, date nights.

I have three this week... and they're all with the same guy. :) One's already happened, and it was the third movie date him and I have been on together since Halloween. Our fourth movie date is Narnia tomorrow at midnight (OMG EXCITED. yes), and then he's my date for the firm's holiday party this Friday.

You should see the smile on my face lol.



But really, speaking of the firm, that's where I am at this exact moment, and I needed a momentary mental break from filing pleadings so... I updated my blog for the first time of the last month of 2010! woohoo!

I will TRY to get at least one more in before Christmas, but, as I said, it's a busy busy time of year. ;)
