Totally Rad Tuesday!
Yeah, yeah, yeah...I listen to Rihanna slash Drake. It's catchy and to be quite honest her whole album (Loud) is pretty good. I'm kind of diggin this vibe today.
I don't have much to say about it however I have very little interest in getting cozy in a convenient store...
Now everyone go have a listen and sing along, as I know you will! I hope everyone is having a Totally Rad Tuesday and no one is forgetting your name!

Most Wonderful Time of Year!
Last year this time I was packing and headed to Scotland. I spent Christmas and New Years there and I don't know if much could top it. If I could afford it I would go back tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken they had record breaking cold and snow (until this year). Now, keep in mind I get cold in 80 degree weather and went entirely unprepared...
I've never enjoyed frozen fingers and toes more.
Fair warning: Lots of pictures coming.
If anyone can tell me where I can get a hot chocolate like this state side...I foresee a road trip to find it.
This was by far the BEST burger I have ever had. I about froze to death while eating it but the perfectly cooked Aberdeen beef, melted cheese, caramelized onions, with a semi-sweet jelly to boot was heaven for the taste buds.
My favorite ornament in his house or mine.
The people I was staying with live right by the beach. For some reason I have always loved the beach in the winter. Its romantic.
My favorite snack over there. Cheese, crackers and cucumber-just like the hot chocolate and burger, it just doesn't taste the same here.
New Years Eve. So much fun...and oh yeah, he wore the kilt.
The Hogmanay Street Party. It was amazing. Some 80,000 people congregate on Princes Street to watch fireworks, listen to music, drink and ring in the new year.
Photos are finally over. Oh...dear Scotland, take me back. There are still so many things I want to do over there. Where is the coolest place you've spent Christmas or New Years?

Totally Rad Tuesday!
Please, please, please forgive me for not udating more. I promise I will be better as soon as finals are over. To be quite honest I forgot it was Tuesday. A friend of mine posted this song on her facebook the other day and I'm loving it to the point of jiggyness (yes...that is a real word)!
It is Dog Days by Florence and the Machine. Its the main song from Eat, Pray, Love as well. Your orders here are to turn on, turn it up and JIVE! Enjoy the week! I promise there will be more to come after finals...wish me luck!

Happy Day of Giving Thanks!
That was the Thanksgiving text I received from my very best friend this morning. Stereotypical but hysterical none the less. I hope all of you can find something to be thankful for today and go stuff yo face!!!

Procrastination station
Raise your hand if you're as excited about this as I am! I adored the book and would give my left pinky finger to live in this era. I belong in the '20...or in Victorian Europe, but that is a whole other box of macaroons. The dresses, cars, prohibition infused revelry and pre-depression era mindset make for a wonderful setting. I will be lining up at midnight to see this movie, flapper dress, moonshine and all.

Rainy days and Mondays...are alright.
CAUTION: Vent ahead!
What is it about rainy days that either makes people crazy or afraid. People start driving like maniacs. Just because there happens to be water falling from the sky does not give you the right stop in the middle of the road or wait a full minute before beginning to drive when the light turns green.
I forgot a rain jacket today, or maybe I just decided not to bring one. Something about the rain is cleansing to me. Its not that cold outside so the feeling of the rain is nice and refreshing. Walking around campus I keep seeing people running or heads bowed as if they will melt. Who knows? Maybe they will. Wouldn't that be a sight? It has always been and remains to be only water. I plan on enjoying today and following the yellow brick road all the way to Oz.
Despite my best efforts at a sunny mood there is a feeling that comes hand in hand on days like this. These moods call for music with a little soul and whimsy. I realize it isn't Totally Rad Tuesday but Manic Monday is deserving. Ive been listening to Joshua Radin as of late and here is the song that seems to fit my life and day oh so well. I hope you enjoy this little bit of love as much as I do. Go get your favorite blanket and a warm cup 'o joe- your favorite movie is waiting.

Ruffle Your Fancy Feathers
5 Year old me: Uh, black?
Now, my preference for black may have changed but to this day I am not partial to pink. I've never liked the warm side of the color wheel, perhaps because I am a redhead. Once out of my momentary goth stage I discovered, in my 48 count Crayola crayons box (because my parents thought 120 was just being ostentatious) the splendor of Jungle Green. From that moment on my penchant for jewel tones has never wavered. Hence-my possible, unnatural fascination with peacocks. I love that colors like that exist in nature.If something includes peacock feathers or jewel toned blue, green or purple-I want it....
