Link!

Before I forget and the holidays pass us by I wanted to do a shameless plug for a friend's website: My Diamond Obsession. This is a startup by a Walton MBA alum and it's super cool! So check it out.

P.S. If  you still haven't gotten me a present, I'd like this.

I'll Put Something Good Here...Someday


So class is officially done. All I have left is studying for my accounting and investment finals and finding Christmas presents for people. The trouble with being swamped with class and work is that you wind up buying all your Christmas presents the week before Christmas. But! I’m am swamped no longer and in a couple days I get to spend a whole month reading, watching movies and playing with my new sewing machine.[1]
               Here’s the short list of books and movies that I’m going to take out over break:
               -Neal Stephenson’s Reamde
               -The most recent season of Doctor Who
               -The new Pedro Almodovar movie
               -And a John Le Carre book
               This weekend I got to go shopping with my mom. We ate some Qdoba and I spent too much at Sephora.[2] I also went and saw It’s a Wonderful Life at TheatreSquared with some friends. It was an impressive production. There were only few people to play all the parts and the set was perfect for it. Today, I studied some, cleaned some and watched La Femme Nikita with Thomas.[3] This will pretty much be break, other than the studying part.
               Anyway, I hope you guys all have great holiday plans. I’ll try to blog over break, though I can’t promise it won’t be really boring…


[1] Did I mention that? I got a sewing machine with some of my Christmas money. It’s super cool with a bunch of stitches and button-hole options. I’m really nerding out about this.
[2] Can’t help it. You get me next to that Tarte counter and I’m done. I want all the pretty colors of eye shadow, lipstick and blush. I don’t even really wear that much makeup; I just like all the stuff.
[3] Prior to the busy-ness of this semester, Thomas and I would have movie night every Sunday night. We’re reinstituting that.
