Of Kitties and Snowstorms (A Quick Post)

Lately, for reasons I can't comprehend, my Kitty has been more attached to me than one could say is usual.  I'm not sure why, but my mom thinks it's because she knows that I'm leaving soon.  (Back to school on Sunday)  Right now, she's sitting next to me on the bed doing everything in her power to take my attention away from this lovely post and back to her where it should rightfully be.  She has spent almost the entire day lying on my bed, waiting for me.  And when she wasn't in my room, she was following me around the house, even into the bathroom.  (Okay, I'll admit, she follows me into the bathroom fairly regularly.  Curiosity, I guess?)  For the past week she's been figuring out when I'm going to sleep, and waiting for me in my room while I brush my teeth and such.  I have no explanation for it, but I don't think I'm going to complain.   (Who would?  Honestly, she's adorable. -okay, I'm biased- and who doesn't love having a cute little kitty to snuggle?)

Outside, the snow has been falling for a couple hours now.  Hopefully I'll be able to get some photos up for you guys within the next couple of days.  I've been fairly busy spending the last week that I'm home tying to get things done.  (For instance, I got my hair dyed/cut today.  I'll have pictures of that too!)  I don't want to make any promises for next week either, since it will be the first week of classes.  Hopefully though, I'll be back to regular posting soon!

Spring

Each year, around this time, I have to remind myself that the winter does end, and close behind it will be days like these...

I love the way that all spring/summer colors seem to go together so well!

New York, New York!

Yesterday, my mom and I woke up and decided to take a spontaneous trip to New York City to make up for last week when we never did go as we had planned.  We managed to get online and find tickets to the play Jersey Boys for about half their original price, for a 2pm showing at the August-Wilson Theater, and we were off!

Even though I'd never actually heard of The Four Seasons before, I loved the play!  The music was wonderful (and from what my mom said, and from the original songs which I have since downloaded - sounded very similar to the originals), and the dialogue was funny - overall, I'd say that if you have the chance, definitely see it!!

For dinner after the play, we went into Times Square to the Hard Rock Cafe - that place will always amaze me, every time I go into it.  So far, I've been to the one in Philly, Times Square, and Florida.  

This particular one was incredibly Beatles-centric, which I attribute to the soon-coming play about the Beatles.  It only made me love this location all the more, since I'm in love with the Beatles.  <3
And then, we walked around the city for a bit before getting our car, and beginning the over 2-hour trip back home.

What have you loves been up to to finish off your winter breaks?  Anything exciting??

Summer

Now that New Year's Eve is over, all that's left to do is wait for the groundhog to see his shadow.  It's cold, and again they're calling for snow - a prospect I don't look forward to.  
Late spring, and summer is my favorite time of the year - it's when I feel my best, and I can just go outside and wander around, looking for new exciting things to take pictures of.  The first few months of the year are just spent waiting for that first spring shower.

This is me, and my good friend Eric.  It was taken this past summer at a picnic a bunch of us had, and even though it's a terrible picture, I absolutely love it! (I get really freckly in the summer)

Pheonixville

Today, I went into Phoenixville to meet up with my friend, Rose.  Even though just about everything was closed, and the temperature dropped from the 50 degrees that it's been for the past few days, it was still a lot of fun. :)  Plus, I got to check out a couple of really neat shops, and get a bunch of pictures for you guys!













We went to a couple of nice coffee shops, and since I'm not much of a coffee person, I drank hot chocolate, which I love.



One of the shops we went into had a bunch of owl-themed things, like this necklace.  Rose loves owls!

  Birds were another thing which they had a lot of, and I liked those as well.  It was a really adorable little store, called The Hipster.

All in all, it was a really fun day, and it was nice to get to see a good friend from school over the holiday!  Have you guys done anything fun recently?  I'd love to hear all about it!

A New Year's Wish

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.  I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.  And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

Hello, 2011

So as you all know, New Year's Eve is my absolute favorite day of the year.  This year, plans changed quite a few times and ultimately, I didn't see the fireworks.  That's okay though, since I spent the end of 2010/beginning of 2011 with some of my best friends who I haven't seen since the end of summer, when we all shipped off to our separate colleges.  

And when the clock hit 11:59pm, we all counted down to 2011, and threw confetti in the air, clinking our glasses to celebrate the new beginning.  Old friends hugged and celebrated together for the closing of one door, and the opening of another, because this is the year that changes everything, just like every year does.

And there was even a New Years kiss :)  These are some of my best friends, and I loved being able to bring in the New Year with them! <3
Unfortunately, I didn't get my kiss yet, but there are plenty more new years' for that!  

This year I resolve to:
   *  Take more pictures, and write more
   *  Be happy!
   *  Post on here every day  (that's going to be the hardest one, I think)
Do you guys have any New Year's resolutions?  I'd love to hear about them!
I hope you all had a fantastic holiday with friends or family, like I did, and I can't wait to hear all about it!
