Dillard's never fails me

It's been an exciting and sad day all in one.

I had my last real Dr. Patterson class today. I got a little teary towards the end, but I'm okay with that. I just really like his classes and him as a person, so it was weird being in my last one. Although, I will be taking newspaper workshop in the fall, so I w

ill see him again.

I've been doing a crazy amount of shopping lately. I've been looking for a rehearsal dinner dress for KP's wedding, a outfit for Taylor's graduation and just some spring/summer-y clothes in general. I just hate a lot of my clothes right now. Most of them are from high school and obviously I dress differently than I did 4 years ago, so they just aren't cutting it. I might take them to Plato's Closet this summer if I get the time.

But today I found the most amazing dress ever!!! Dillard's never fails me when I need a bomb dress. I found this beauty in the expensive section (the one where the women wear all black and look at you funny for even considering going over there, yep that one).

Cue cheesy mirror MySpace pics:

And here's the best part:

Yes, it was $20. Originally $148. Man, oh man I'm so proud of myself.

And the even better part is I LOST A DRESS SIZE!!!!! YAY!

I don't have a scale so I'm merely going off of how my clothes fit, so I'd consider this a success.

So that was my sad, but exciting day!

Denial Blogging

Yep, it's that time again. Where I can pretend like I have actual time to blog and that I don't have mountains of school work on my shoulders. Cause I don't (lies).

Just talked to mom about the big move. She is stressing over it right now. Plus, the apartment people are being weird about a move in date. This whole "we guarantee it by May 5" thing isn't working for my schedule, Miss Lady. I need a REAL date. Although, I do like that my carpets will be shampooed, walls painted and memories of the previous owners will all be gone by the 5th. That will be nice.

ALSO! I have big news. News that alters my life everyday.

I gave up drinking pop. Like for real. It's been almost 3 weeks and I haven't had any (except for a sip of desperation on Friday, but it was literally a sip). I'm pretty proud of myself. I didn't think I would have this much will power. I hope to stop until the end of May when I'm in a wedding and then just drink it in moderation, but we'll see.

Right now I'm just sticking with water and the occasional sweet tea or lemonade (which coincidentally have about the same sugar content as pop, which suuucks). How rude.

I'm trying to eat healthier also. I guess I'm beginning to become a grown up? As weird as that sounds. I just want to look good in a bathing suit, though. So my motives are purely selfish. And I want to look good for my future husband and eventual celebrations that come with the occasion.

Too far?
