"Outfit; Permanent jetlag"

The past seven days have been weird and tiring and I am so glad it's almost the weekend and almost Christmas holiday (9 days an counting). Today was my first venture outside the house in about a week and it was very nice, filled with Starbucks coffee and silly microbiology tests and the smell of formaldehyde... in other words, things are starting to be back to normal again :)

I am currently living out of boxes because we are still in The Big Cleaning of the House of '08. The good thing is that my room is finally done, we have some gorgeous brand new forks and spoons and cups that actually match!

I am also leaving you with an assortment of photos taken during the past few days. I haven't been using my camera a lot lately so I'm gonna try to get that back on track too.

Now I have an episode of Gossip Girl to watch again (am I the only one who fell in love with Chuck even more after this last one?) and a brand new episode of House waiting for me :)

My mom got this huge teddy bear as a gift for a friend and her baby. Photos needed to be taken before the bear was given away!

Cleaning old boxes brings back memories and some old toys and dolls I had forgotten about:

Song of the Day: Bloc Party - Signs

"Don't shoot me Santa, but can I have them all?"

It's December and that means good cheer, hot chocolate, the smell of Christmas trees and, of course, presents! As my best friend said today: "I'd like to spend the entire Xmas day doing nothing but opening presents!". And even though we will both be spending it with family around a huge dinner table girls can dream, can't they?

I always love what I get, I don't think I've ever met a Christmas present I did not like. But any girl dreams so here is:

"My Perfect Christmas Wishlist"

(or "What I'd Buy This Christmas If I Were Ridiculously Rich" List)

Song of the Day: The Killers - Don't Shoot Me Santa

"It's gonna be legen - wait for it. - dary"

Quote of the night:
M: I - I have - I feel so weird. Like there's something in my soul, in me, sliding, you know?
Me: It's called being drunk.
M: Oh. Yeah, I think so.

Nothing beats deciding in exactly four seconds flat, at 9:51pm, that you suddenly want Starbucks from the mall and immediately start running in heels towards the car, speeding down one of the busiest streets in the city, parking inches away from another car and sliding through the doors (while running into your Starbucks crush) 3 minute before closing time.

While being drunk.

We must have looked like three very very happy girls. Happy National Day again, Romania :)

I can now pull an all-nighter with my physiology courses because I had my booze, my adrenaline and now my Dark Cherry Mocha :)

PS: This is my 99th post.
PPS: And the first time I managed 2 posts in one day!

Happy National Day, Romania! Thank you for the day off!

In other news, my house is in the middle of winter cleaning and renovation. I am sitting on boxes and living with a clean freak of a mother. So of course this also meant The Cleaning of the Closet (yes, capitalization is needed, believe me.). I realized yesterday, after 5 hours of sorting and cleaning (and watching the second half of season 1 of How I Met Your Mother) that I have a lot of clothes and this only means one thing:

I need to buy a bigger closet ;D
