blogging from my phone.

So I am on my way home from school and decided to blog. I wish at least a little bit of sun would hit UNA campus. It makes it so cold outside. Yes, I know it's still winter but the sun makes it a little warmer. Anyways, my lit teacher is crazy and she always looks like she just rolled out of bed. Candie & I skipped history today to go to TJ Maxx. Don't judge me :) I picked up an Essie nail polish in the color Nude Attitude for 1$! I was pretty happy because I have been wanting OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy and I thought they may be similar. We'll see. I also got some small packs of Hello Kitty Jelly Belly jelly beans! I also got some for Anna, Katie, and Blair! :) Candie picked up this really cute metal owl container thing.

I have gotten back 2 of my 3 tests. I did good on my history test and my stats tests for sure! I was so excited about my stats test. I'm pretty proud of myself. That is for sure going up on the frig!

Tomorrow me and Candie have decided to watch movies. I signed up for a free trial of Netflix because Candie use to get it them all the time. Well, long story. I ended up getting charged twice for a free trial. I'm waiting for them to give me my 40$ back. Grrrr! How do you get charged TWICE for a free trial?! Anyways, I've got 3 movies that we can watch. Fame, zombieland, and rachel getting married.

what a beautiful day.

The weather the past two days has been amazing! It absolutely makes me so happy. I can't wait until it is like this for a while. I think it's supposed to rain all next week. :( Sunshine makes me smile!

My mom finally did my nails today. It's been like a month.

I had a date last night.. with Candie! We went to see Dear John since she hasn't got to see it yet. We also went to the mall and looked around and I got to get some Starbucks that I have wanted like the entire week.

I am so happy to have no school work to do this weekend! Only one Geography assignment due online Monday night.

After reading the Lauren Conrad book, I have decided that I want to start reading again. I have never been a big reader but I use to read sometimes. I haven't in a long time until that book. But, I want to start back because I loved reading it.

I also want to start eating pretty healthy. I have been looking up stuff on some healthy foods and I am slowly going to start it. It's not a diet, I know I don't need to lose weight. But, I just want to be healthy. Just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm healthy.

lazyyy.

It's been a lazy day for me! I've been sitting here reading L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad all morning.

Since I had 3 tests yesterday, this book has been sitting in my room for a few days until I got to pick it up today and start reading it. It's pretty good too! Who knew Lauren Conrad would put out a book and it be a New York Times bestseller. She just came out with the second installment called Sweet Little Lies. I absolutely love Lauren Conrad. I watched her in Laguna Beach and then The Hills. She has my favorite style of any celebrity; I always love what she is wearing. She is one of my favorites!

valentines.

I had such a great time with Jus yesterday. I really needed to see him.

He made a heart-shaped cookie cake! (with some help from his mom)
It was so sweet and it actually tasted good! I was proud of him, he isn't a cooker. We also had eaten from it before I took this picture. He also gave me a gift certificate for a massage! I've never had one. Candie got one too. Adam and him must have planned it. haha

He got to my house around 3 and we just sat around for a while until I got dressed. Then around 6, we headed to Tupelo. We figured it would be packed but it wasn't too bad. We still hadn't decided to what we wanted to do. I decided we should go eat at The Grill because it is one of my favorite places. I always get the Fish Tacos. After we ate we just went home because Justin still had to drive back to Starkville. :( I already miss my boyfrann.

I also sent out some Disney Princess valentines to my friends. I sent one to Justin's little brother, John. He's around 10 I think. He gave me a valentine back! It was so sweet because he gave Candie one too!

valentine.

Happy Valentine's Day! :)

This is mainly just a holiday for places to make money. There shouldn't be a day set aside to tell people you love them. You should do that every single day of your life. But I absolutely love holidays no matter what they are! I wish groundhog day included presents.

I am fortunate enough to have a valentine. More than one actually.

My boyfrann. Boo. Best fran. I could go on and on about him. ..Jus.
This is the first picture we ever took together. Thank goodness Blair had a camera because I still don't have one. Yes, those are his sunglasses I'm wearing. He is so cute!
These are my best friends. This was Valentine's Day last year. We made shirts to wear. We made shirts for a lot of stuff actually.

My mom is also my valentine. She got me and Candie some yummyy chocolate covered strawberries and the funniest card ever.

I am so excited to see my Jus today. It's been about 3 weeks. Do you ever get nervous to see someone when you haven't seen them in so long? Even if it's your boyfriend. :)

It's an afternoon full of studying for me and the three tests I have Tuesday! :( this really sucks.

addiction.

My name is Courtney and I am a nail polishaholic.

I absolutely love nail polish. I am a little picky about them though.

I painted my nails today. Yes, I painted them two days ago but I wanted something different.

I used China Glaze Millenium. Unlike other China Glaze polishes I have, this one was more difficult to use and a bit streaky.

But it is the only opaque silver polish I have found and it was on clearance at sally's!

I also put tiny blue rhinestones on my ring fingers. I initially wanted to use clear/silver ones but we didn't have any.

reminisce.

Valentine's Day 2009.

It's been almost 3 weeks since I have seen you. I can't wait. :)

insomnia.

So it is 4:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. I have been up since 2. seriously??

I have 3 tests Tuesday. That is really rediculous. UNA: Do you even want me to pass? I have a date with an awful guy this weekend, his name is studying. :(

Me and Candie went by Target after we got done with school and then stopped at Krispy Kreme!! They never have the sign that says they are hot on, but yesterday we got lucky.
They even had heart shaped ones for Valentine's Day! When you bought a dozen they also gave out valentine cards for free donuts! extra lucky.

got my hair did.

I ^^^.
I usually just get my roots done during my hair appointments cause you know I am a natural blonde. ;)

Well today, I wanted to try something different. I still got my roots done but I also got the bottom under layer of my hair darker. It looks really neat! She had to cut some layers in my hair too so it would actually show. I couldn't get a good picture of it showing up good :(

Right now I am working on my history paper. I am done with all of my online Geography work so now it's just getting this paper done.

More snow today, seriously? I got out all of my summer clothes because I thought just maybe if summer saw I had my clothes out already it would come faster. Then we get snow again.

I just painted my nails this color:

It is called grape juice.
My toe nails got painted:
Mad as a hatter

This nail polish (MAAH) is absolutely beautiful. A pain to get off. But it's so beautiful I can overlook that. Nothing a little acetone can't get off.

I usually don't like having my fingers and toes two different colors. But, as long as they kind of go together I don't mind too much.

Well, back to my paper.

silent haze.

The band my boyfriend is in gets to play at this huge show!


http://www.minervamusicfest.com/about

..with bands such as Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Saving Abel, Pop Evil and Forever and Never. and sooo many more.


Saturday, February 6, 2010

so sad.

There is nothing better than spending a Saturday night having to read a very uninteresting history book at home, by yourself. Please sense the sarcasm.


Well that is what my Saturday night is consisting of. The highlight was a cupcake that I just ate from Creative Cakes in Tupelo. I have such an exciting life I know.

I really miss my boyfrann. And my friends, oh so much. :(

love.

Since Valentine's Day is coming up I thought I would share something that I "love."

I absolutely love bracelets. Ever since I heard about this certain bracelet a long time ago, I have fallen in love with it. It is the Cartier love braclet. This one is just the regular white gold one..

It may look like a plain, maybe odd bracelet to you. But i love it.
The idea behind this braclet is just so interesting and wonderful to me.
It was created in the 1970's and can only be open with a tiny
screwdriver.
It's pretty much about an idea of "locking up your love."

Isn't it wonderful?

They also have rings. It's pretty expensive and a commitment. The white gold bracelet retails around $4-5k

One day I hope to have one of these bracelets.

pretty please.

This Coach bag NEEEDDSSSS to be my new purse. Present?? :)

It is called the Sequin Spotlight bag. Yes, it is amazingly covered in sequins. (398$)

Lazy day.

Yet another cold and rainy day here in small town Mississippi. Every day I pray summer will get here faster. What is it about winter time that makes you feel all blahhh and depressed like? Maybe it just does that to me.

This is what I had for breakfast this morning. Pretty healthy right?

I send many pictures to my boyfriend every day that I don't get to see him. They usually consist of me and my cat. I know he probably gets tired of those, but I don't care. :) So this was one picture I have already sent to him today. Don't ask me why I sent him a picture of my breakfast. It's probably the same reason I'm putting it on my blog. Just cause I can.

I have to start reading my book for history tonight for sure. Pretty exciting weekend huh?

I am sporting my natural curly hair today. The first time I have done this in a long time. No picture cause I don't have any makeup on yet. I have to get my unnatural blonde hair roots done Monday so I haven't straightened it much this week. Giving my damaged hair a break! Even though I love my short hair, I am growing it out :) Product Rave: Tigi Bed Head shampoo. Absolutely amazing. Especially the pink one, called Superstar. It' volumizing and also sulfate free!

I miss Katie and Blair. :)

Rainy day blues.

It has been another long day. Even though the weekend is coming up tomorrow, doesn't mean a thing. I got the book today that I have to read and write a paper on, on Monday. It's for history and it's called, "How the other half lives." I'm sure it will be oh so interesting. Sarcasm intended. On a more fun note, my mom wants to go see Dear John saturday and I am sooo excited! It is a movie from one of the few books I have read. I have been waiting anxiously for it to come out. I also want to go see Valentine's Day that comes out next Friday.

My Lit test got pushed back until next Thursday which is such a relief. It may even get pushed back later because my teacher has had some problems with her cat. I am pretty sure she is a real life "cat lady." She has been saying all week that she is waiting for her vet to call with some test results. She never told us what was wrong. Anyways, her vet called today during our class and she walked outside. She stormed backed in and said in a frantic voice, "I have got to go!" So, class was let out. Maybe we missed out on a lot after she left and it will get pushed back even later. A girl can dream!

My new wallet came in today and I am so excited. All I need to find is a new purse :)

It also has rained aaalllllll day. Walking to class in the rain is not fun. Especially if you go to UNA because sun never shines there. I love the beautiful campus but the entire place is shaded. I'm sure that will be fine with me during the summer on those scorching hot days, but in the winter, it is freezing! I wish winter would hurry up and be over because I am so ready for summer. I already have new summer clothes that I have been dying to wear. I hate winter clothes.
At one point I couldn't get my tiny umbrella open. This nice boy behind me offered to open it for me. It was a little embarassing!

I have a Geography map quiz to do online that's due tonight. Grrr!

I miss Jus.

School..Insomnia..Blah.

I am so tired but I can't sleep! I bet it is because my super snuggly cat Misty isn't here. I guess she is roaming outside in the cold weather! Summer please hurry up and get here. I don't like you or your ugly clothes. I have my first test next week. Tuesday. World Literature. It sucks. I feel like this is the most useless class I have had to take thus far. Blahhh. At least my friend Kristen is in the same class! I need to start studying now, we both have no clue what is going on. I also have a History paper due on Tuesday too. On a book that I have not read yet. Or even purchased! I don't even have the book yet! Ahh! Procrastination always gets the best of ya. :)

I miss you.

It's been 10 days since I have seen you.

Things I am lusting for..

Current wants::
I am so bad. Do I really need more nail polish?? ..yes, of course!

Essie Tart Deco from the new Spring 2010 line












OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy












There are sooo many nail polishes I want/really need.
I have never been into reds much, but this Essie Lollipop polish I have been wearing has become my new favorite.

Nars Temptation Set from Sephora






I also feel like I need this Lush set.. from their new Valentine's Day collection.









P.S. I can't wait for Valentine's Day! I am in love with ALL holidays in general. There is nothing better than giving my boyfriend an easter basket full of goodies! :)

It has been such a long day..

Short but sweet post! What an exciting day! :) It has been a long one for sure. Since I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they are filled up for me and they sure weren't very exciting today. It is not even 9:00 p.m. yet and I am already ready for bed!
