My Snuggie - 24 Days

Howdy!

I got some cool stuff for Christmas but one of my favorite gift was the gift of Snuggie!  I freaking love this thing.  I used to make fun of it, but that's just because I didn't understand.  Now I get it.  A blanket with arms!  Some of my friends argue that anyone could buy a robe and wear it backwards but it's not the same. A robe is heavier and has unneeded pockets and such.  The Snuggie is simple and awesome.


The Dog decided to join the photo and decided her butt was her good side.

So far in my Snuggie I have read a book (The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown), taken a nap, and played on my computer.  It's a the perfect tool.  Now I know people are going to think that I am lame, but once you go Snuggie you don't go back.  My big dilemna right now is whether or not I bring my new fav blanket to England with me.  I can see opportunities to use it over there and while I travel, but do I want to use the room in my Suitcase for the Snuggie that could be dedicated to clothes.  Let me know what you think.  Should I bring the Snuggie to Europe or no?

There is still no updated word on my visa yet and it's making me freak out when I think about it.  It's still processing.  I have less than a month to go.  I ordered rush processing, but I guess my definition of rush and the services definition of rush are completely different.  But I will post a picture of my and my ISIC ID.  I don't really need it but it gets me discounts and stuff.  I look at it and it makes me happy.


I'm such a badass.  I mean look at that face.

I also set up my long overdue eye appointment.  I wear contacts and I'm down to my last pair.  I think it's safe to say that those won't last 4 months.  But my appointment is cutting it really really close.  I have my appointment a week before I leave and then the contacts take a week to get here, so I will basically pick them up on my way to the airport.  Yikes.  Bad Rachel, BAD!  Hope it all works out.  Talk to you soon.

CHRISTMAS - 28 Days

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


I'm going to keep this post rather short.  I just wanted to check in and wish everyone a very happy holiday season and most importantly of all Happy Christmas!  That is how the Brits says it after all.  Today has been great so far.  I officially got my new luggage and some new clothes just in time for my trip.  Yesterday I got my International Student Identification Card (ISIC) in the mail.  That means that this is really happening.

I really can't wait to get out of the house.  I haven't seen my friends in days because I've been too lazy to do anything.  Well, that, and my phone has been on the fritz for the past week.  I don't have any constant communication.  I'm hungry for human interaction.  Not only that, but we got our second winter death storm.  It looks quite pretty outside, but it hasn't stopped snowing since late last night.  I guess it's not really a "death storm" but more of a white Christmas.

New Years is coming up and I have no set plans yet.  All will work out, but we should really begin the planning process.  I miss all my school friends.  I hope to see you all over break.  Anyway, I will post more about my new London gear later, but until then, everyone have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Pip Pip Cheerio!
