Glitter and Goldie Hawn's Lips

I am already on Spring Break. Well, mentally. It is only Thursday. But come Friday at noon(ish) I will be out of here. I will not apologize. Just another perk of working in higher education.

As of yesterday, I am down a whopping 85 pounds!

 Holy Ba-Jeezus!

It has been a journey but I am so glad I had the support of my family to make the decision to get healthy. I will give a full blown update around the beginning of April. 

This weekend I will be meeting up with sorority sisters and friends for what is sure to be an event to remember. My dear friend Bree is getting married April 12th and we are celebrating her bachlorette party! Fayetteville will be covered in glitter! 

So, here is what I have been up to the past couple of days. 

XX,

C

These are my minions! Our hometown of Red Oak was play in the girl's and boy's state basketball tournament. There is no place like RO. This small town supports the youth more than most would ever know.

The last time I was in Carl Albert High School's gym was my sophomore year of college. I had an allergic reaction to something (we never figured out what it was) and I looked like Goldie Hawn in the First Wives Club. It was horrible.

GJ and Q had one heck of a time. They love each other and play so well together!

GJ wanted a "Big Smile" picture. After he looked at it he said, "Send it to Buck!"

My Aunt KK hates when we make faces in pictures. This makes us do it even more:)

I forgot I was wearing red lipstick this day. I walked past a mirror and went WHOA! The earrings and necklace were a gift from manfriend.

I am over winter. If anyone would have said, "Why are you wearing white pants? The say it is too early for those." I would have kindly responded with, "I am an effing adult. I can wear whatever I want. And who is this "they" you speak of? What do they know?"
 If you can think for yourself and know what you like, you can wear whatever the hell you want. Rant. Over.

Remember that bachlorette party this weekend?
DICKSON STREET WILL BE COVERED IN GLITTER!

I ran around Tulsa yesterday in yoga capris, light blue pullover, Vinyard Vines ball cap and Nike AirMax shoes. It was a very good day!

Catch Up, Not Ketchup

I hate ketchup and playing catch up. Ugh... Ketchup is made from rotten tomatoes and catch up is because I procrastinate more than anyone I know. Tragic flaw 89. However, it is during these times of procrastination I have the experiences that make up this beautiful mess of a life. For example, sitting in class on Monday evenings I Facebook, Google, shop, IMDB, and read news while I should be listening to lecture. I do pay attention to some things the professor is lecturing over, but there is only so much I can learn about Tulsa Community College (TCC). Let me rant for a moment about this class.
I am a working on a master's in Higher Education Administration. I would like to learn and discuss different types of institutions of higher education while I continue the program; however, my professor does not see it that way. We only talk about TCC... I can tell you about the school's security, organizational structure, building plans, and so on... It is horrible. My classmates and I keep a running tally of how many times Tulsa Community College or TCC is mentioned in lecture. Ugh... I hate it.
Back to catch up...
During my procrastination and Web surfing I do Google articles and news related to higher education that has nothing to do with TCC. Tragic flaw 371, I only like to learn about things that can hold my interest more that 15 minutes.
This question is played out in my head everyday, "Why am I getting this degree?" Yes, having a master's will most likely advance myself in any career, but I don't even think I want to use this degree. A florist with a master's in Higher Education Administration... magical.
Procrastinating is just more fun and interesting than studying. I would rather be outside, reading, painting, riding my bicycle, going to movies, watching baseball games, going on little road trips, and this list can go on and on. School just seems to get in the way of me having the life I truly want...
Well, I better get back to work. I am in the middle of an interesting chat with my friend on Facebook...
