TORI IN TEXAS.

I'm Not Dead

Helloooooo all! Goodness gracious, its been forever. Since it has been forever since my last post, lets catch up on everything that has happened! So, for my long-distance friends, local amigos, and stalking sisters...here is what you may have missed in the life of Tori...
1) I found this car parked outside my apartment that is definitely NOT in a parking spot. I mean, really? Really? (note the snow on the ground, sick nasty. This was the unexpected snow storm like 2 days after it got up to about 70 outside. Kansas weather, stop being bipolar). This also was not a one time occurance for this car.

2) I gave up facebook for lent (thus why I have not made a post since). I thought giving it up would be especially helpful a few weeks ago when I had a 10ish page paper due; however, I still pulled an all-nighter. But only my second one of the year, now thats improvement since freshman year! 4 weeks away from graduating and now I'm learning better ways. Figures.

3) I saw this license. Can we please be BFFs?? Wellllll, on second thought, maybe just good friends. I think I need my BFF to be a Gryffindor.

4) I visited Memphis, TN for the first time with my sister Katie to see our other sister, Jenny, and her hubby Drew
Gettin some Memphis BBQ. Drew actually told us that this place is always closed on Mondays since its been open, and when Bill Clinton was president, he once came into the restaurant....on a Monday. And they still turned him down and wouldn't open their restaurant! Still not sure if that was good work ethic, or mere stupidity to reject the president...? Hmmmmm...
Our super crafty sister, Jenny taught some church girlies how to make their own skirts. We decided to join in the fun and walked out with a new skirt ourselves! Actually, to tell the truth, I did not walk out with mine...I had to be difficult and diverse from the group and wanted pockets on my skirt. So Jenny had to help me after everyone else was done, then it turned out with my fabric I picked pockets were not flattering. So we had to take them out. Long story short: I got a teeeeensy bit frustrated, and prolly won't be making another skirt for a loooooong while.
Overall, Memphis was awesome, but I think next time I want to visit the heart of country music and head to Nashville. Who's with me??! : )

 5) I watched a lot of KU basketball. Though its still a bit of a sore spot, the boys had a great season! Rock Chalk, baby!
The Jayhawks of the family (and clearly the best choice between a purple horned frog, a razorback, or a bobcat)

 6) I FINALLY finished up my practicum of the year that was needed to graduate! (yes, the same practicum from last semester where I was caught coloring Christmas pictures in some downtime...resulting in a 10 minute cry session in the bathroom. Good job, Tori) And in honor of my last day, I had a little celebratory party where I made a fire and threw in my nametag. As a symbolic gesture of finishing up and moving onto my next life adventure, not for any other reasons...clearly.

7) I ran my first ever 5K! I was a little apprehensive at first, but all & all I'm really glad that I signed up for it! Going into it I had 2 goals for myself...a) Just worry about finishing and have fun. b) don't die.
Not only did I finish, have fun, and not die...I finished 3rd in my division! True, it was only 3.2 miles, but next step...10K! It was easy-peasy to keep up a good pace so early in the morning with my playlist that I premade the night before that looked a little something like this:
·         Raise Your Glass – Pink (awesome song to wake you up with after 5 hours of sleep)
·         Dancing Crazy – Miranda Cosgrove
·         Your Love is My Drug – Ke$ha (my guilty pleasure song)
·         Yeah 3X – Chris Brown (I still think you're a scumbag Chris, curse you for having such a catchy beat)
·         Ever Ever After – Carrie Underwood
·         If My Heart Had Wings – Faith Hill
·         Put You in A Song – Keith Urban
·         I’m Only Me When I’m With You – Taylor Swift
·         Don’t Stop Believing - Glee
I skipped through some of the songs about halfway through, given my music ADD. And I actually wanted to finish the race with Defying Gravity, but I didn't make it that far into my playlist. But turns out that finishing with Glee was just what I needed to finish strong. Then after dinner was I realllllly craving a margarita, however, that was definitely not what my body needed...so I opted for some frozen yogurt. Mmmm!


 Right at the finish line they had endless tons of breakfast food that was up for grabs for runners. So, of course, as a college student I grabbed one, or two, or three of everything to go. Typical. Can I change my major to free-loading? (or maybe coloring, tree climbing, napping, this list could go on a while) And yes, that is also definitely some toilet paper, and no, that was not at the finish line but at the port-o-potties. But I figured, wellllllll, why not? : )

8) My new found love for peanut butter may slowly becoming a slight addiction...
I'm finding any excuse to put it on as much food as I can. Apples, celery, oatmeal, chocolate, ice cream... (Note to self: Stop eating PB with a knife for safety reasons)

Phew, well I think that should catch yall up enough for now. And a countdown looking forward to some events coming near:
*8 days until one group project for class will be complete
*17 days until another group project will be completed/last day of class EVER as an undergraduate!
*26 days until graduation, baby!
*28 days until I'll walk down the hill
*Roughly 4 months until moving to Dallas

I hope you guys have a wonderful, blessed Easter Sunday with your families, friends, and loved ones. Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for me when I'm such a huge sinner and make countless mistakes, but you continue to unconditionally love me and be the Savior I need. He is risen!

TGIF

TGIF. Tis been a loooooooong, hectic week! Next week shall be pretty jam packed too, so I'll definitely be enjoying in much needed laziness this weekend!

I love my Fridays. No class. Sleeping in an hour. Making a fun breakfast (this morning was banana blueberry waffles - I haven't used my mini waffle maker in forever, I need to bust this baby out more often!). Goin to the rec center for a Butz & Gutz class (the class is just as it sounds...and my tuckus will be all kinds of sore tomorrow!) And next on the agenda is heading to Panera for a free coffee (thank you rewards club) and having some chill time/people watching (don't lie, you know you enjoy people watching as a hobby too), and working on a paper (followed by only 2 more papers of my college career. Hallelujah.) Then probably a chill night in with the roomie. Saturday is the KU game, and also is going to be a baking extravaganza day with some girlfriends - which if you know me, I'm always stoked to bake up a storm in the kitchen.

So lets back up just a bit. Yesterday was something that would only happen to me. Heres the lowdown. GPS's are supposed to help you reach your destination, right? They help you get from point A to point B. If you're directionally challenged (like yours truly) they should be your BFF. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I was in the office for one of my practicum days and was asked to drive to Emporia to pick up a kid and bring him back to Topeka. I wasn't doing a whole lot so I agreed, and someone gave me their GPS so help me get there. Wellllllll, apparently I thought I knew the general idea of where I was going so I saw the first direction was to get on I-70. I put down the GPS on the passenger seat (there was no stand or anything to hold it up in the window) knowing it would talk to me giving me step-by-step directions. I continue on I-70 past Lawrence, and make it all the way to Kansas City, which is a good 30 or so minutes. I'm sitting here thinking, "hmmm this thing hasn't said anything the whole trip, maybe I should look at it." WHOOPS. This stupid thing was on mute the whole time and was telling me to turn around...I was driving in the wrong direction for a good 30 minutes, meaning it would take another 30 minutes to turn around, putting me in the car for another hour. Good job, Tori. As if that wasn't lame enough, this car didn't even have cruise control.

About 2 hours later I finally make it to Emporia. At least on the drive back I had someone to talk to. The kid I picked up and me talked a lot of the time about video games; mostly good 'ol Mario Kart. Classic! I challenge any of you to Mario Kart on Nintendo64. Not gonna lie...I'm kind of awesome, and would kick your bootay! ; ) (on the wii is another story, I still have some work on that one to claim an awesome title)
Boo-yah!

Who is yalls favorite player? Mine is the cute, little, green dino. Yoshi! Hands down. I absolutely hate DK and Bowser.

Not only did we talk about video games, we talked about holidays - specifically the 4th of July. This could easily be my 2nd favorite holiday. (Christmas is numbero uno) Its sweet summertime, being outdoors, bar-b-qs, ice cream, and fireworks! We talked about our favorite fireworks, with mine being the ones that blow up and then scatter really fast looking like itty bitty bugs. Then lets just say after all this talk I was very very in the mood for Katy Perry's song Firework, and came home and headed to the rec center and put Firework on repeat for at least 10 times in a row....
Sooooo pretttyyyyyy...

Well, unfortunately I must begin working on my paper to knock it outta the way today. So to wrap up, here is a video to kick off your weekend right!


Is it sad that I rewound this about 5 times and was still cracking up? What can I say?...Schadenfreude! In the words of Avenue Q...
-Schadenfreude...what is that some kind of Nazi word?
-Yep, its German for 'happiness at the misfortune of others'
-'Happiness at the misfortune of others'...that IS German!

Have a happy happy weekend everyone! Its supposed to hit the 50's - PTL! Lets get rid of all this snow and bring on some sunshine and warmness! And a quote for valentines day..."All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." -Charles Schulz

Bad Paid For Photos

So, this post is for no reason other than the fact of hopefully putting a smile on your face : ) Because I sure needed one after this week. If you've had a loooooooong week like me, (especially after having to drive to practicum this morning with at least a foot of snow around...i thought I was driving straight to my funeral) hopefully this post will brighten your day and make you smile! Also, PTL tomorrow is Friday! a lovely last weekend before classes start up. with snow on the ground. lots of it. sledding in the near future? you bet!

I love Ellen Degeneres - she never fails to make me laugh. So I stole browsed and some of my favorite photos from her segment "bad paid for photos" just to bring 'em your way. Enjoy!
Everything is so right with this picture
what would drive a person to ever think this hairstyle would be okay?

I hope ya'll have a fabulous, fun-filled, and safe weekend with all this snow!

Horizontal Dreams?

Hello all again! I've been such a blogger failure lately, my last blog was not since Christmas. My apologies for the 5 people who read this...

Well, lets back up to Christmas in Montana. A few things I've learned since my trip about this state:
1) You think the KCI airport is small?...try Bozeman, MT. This is about the size lengths-wide of a Target, maybe smaller, with only 1 terminal, and 5 gates. When I got off the plane I was greeted by this lovely sculpture.
Guess I'm not in kansas anymore (my sister officially has her new montana license and apparently has gotten many, many kansas jokes. she loves them)

2) They don't put salt on the roads to help the ice melt, given that it runs into the waters and kills wildlife, etc. This was a tad terrifying when you're driving on the highway up to Big Sky, which is apparently the deadliest road in America. We saw many little, white crosses on the side of the road driving up. If that doesn't get you excited to drive up & go tubing in BS nothing will!
3) I think the Montana population has some serious gambling problems. There are casinos connected to every single gas station in sight.
4) Its illegal for married women to go fishing alone on sundays, and illegal for unmarried women to fish alone at all. (I feel like this answer would be used as a BS answer for the game balderdash)
5) Montana may be beautiful... 
...with plenty of mountains and snow... 
But I could never live here. Give me a big city to live in and occasionlly visit a small town like this and I'm a happy girl.

Some highlights from my trip included going snow tubing up at Big Sky



Going to the rock gym
Yikes - Helloooo calf muscles!...thank you 10 years of playing soccer + dance

There were different levels of climbing and each one had a different name. Some of my favorites include...
As opposed to vertical dreams?

Yes please!

Not to be confused with the black gypsies (only my family would understand this one...)
Rock climbing realllllly put me in the mood to go see 127 Hours even though I watched an interview with the actual guy this happened to and nearly threw up just hearing him describe cutting off his arm. I still plan on seeing it soon, but I'll have to be sure I don't eat before-hand, and that I have a barf bag handy!

I got to hang out lots with Alex's new sweet lil, wired puppy named Milo. He acts like your typical average male...
bahahah. Presh.

And we spent Christmas morning driving through the local cemetery...
Don't ask.

Montana was fun but I'm definitely glad to be back home. Life since has been pretty uneventful, but I'm getting closer and closer to finishing HP7! (I know I know, its about time) School starts up again next week, which I'm looking forward to getting back into my normal routine and schedule, nnnooootttt so much looking forward to the school work. But graduation is near - I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! I don't think its really hit me yet that this is my last semester. But I'm sooooooo ready! Then come August its Dallas here I come! I will definitely miss living in Lawrence, seeing & hanging out pretty frequently with my dad and my sister, and my being with all my friends here... but I'm also excited for a change. (However, I am not very ecstatic about this whole astrology sign change thing...born and raised a libra, now I'm a virgo?! You can't just spring this on me all of a sudden. Identity crisis? Perhaps.)

I hope yall enjoy the rest of your weekend tonight, and for some of you a longer MLK weekend! As for me, I am loading up on nyquil, poppin in The Proposal, catching up on sleep that I definitely did not get last night (but it was worth it!), and trying to get over this stupid cold. Mucho love to everybody!

Long overdue movie quote challenge: "Do you think he'll get mad if I run upstairs? I made him an 'I'm sorry I threw paint on your chicken' card!"

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!

Merrrrrrrry Christmas from Montana! I hope ya'll are having a wonderful Christmas with your families and loved ones, and that Santa brought you everything you asked for : )

For the first time in a couple years I got to wake up to a white Christmas! Considering last year when Kansas got our huge snow storm I was in Florida, so today started off juuuust right!

So pretty!

Christmas thus far has been pretty uneventful compared to past Christmases with the whole fam, but its still been good. Its just Alex, me, and sweet lil' Milo up here in cold, snowy, mountainy, hick-town Montana. We woke up and had some breakfast with coffee and mimosas, and then we opened up our presents (and by we, I mostly mean I watched Alex open her presents because I opened mine back home so they wouldn't have to be shipped to the middle of nowhere Montana). 
I promise we're not alchies

Mama and pup's first Christmas!

My sister Jenny got me a sewing book and some starter tools! Don't let the face fool you, I'm excited...juuuust a little questionable of how long it will take me before I can sew something that won't look like a monkey made it.

We were listening to some good 'ol Christmas tunes, and Nsync's Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays came up. (An oldie but a goodie) So we decided to youtube the music video. Good grief, I miss the 90s and boy bands. Heres the video to enjoy for youselves...You're welcome.

Nsync followed with some Straight No Chaser. I'm a little obsessed. I love me some SNC! If you haven't heard of them or seen the original video that made them famous - this is a must watch.
I got to see them in concert last year at KU, and afterwards they were at a table signing autographs and meeting the fans. I wanted to be remembered from the other fans when I met them, so what do I do?...Look like a complete idiot apparently. (It just comes so naturally to me) But hey, I'm surrrrre I was remembered after this. For better & worse : ) Heres the gist of how the convo went down...

Hey, I loved ya'lls concert. You guys were great!
Thank you!
Well, I have a joke for you guys!
Ok, lets hear it.
What kind of pants does Mario wear?
(silence)
Denim denim denim...Denim denim denim! (in mario's theme song)
(awkward silence, blank stares, and pity laughs & smiles)
Okay, welp it was great meeting you guys! (walk away)
(Laughs from my sister and friends I went to the concert with off to the side)

I guess they missed out on the best classic video game of Nintendo64.

Welllllll, reliving our childhood days, we came up with a list of past Christmas toys that we begged our parents/Santa to get us when we were younger...
1) Furby (At the moment I loved it, but shortly after I realized just how freakin creepy those things were. I even put mine in my closet, turned off the lights, covered it with a blanket, and this thing would still talk and move around)

2) Tamagotchi. Pretty sure I always got the ugly, red, squirmy thing.

3) Easy Bake Oven. Love the tagline from this picture...

What did you guys ask for for Christmas when you were younger?! You know you're getting older when you ask for practical gifts and gladly accept clothing. I got a bread maker which I'm ready to use the crap out of when I get back home! Well, on the agenda for the rest of the day for me and Fishy is just to relax, watch some more xmas movies and Boy Meets World, and cook a pizza for dinner...Psh, forget ham, bring on the pesto! You can't really expect 2 college students to pay for and prepare an extravagant christmas meal can you? But I think we're pretty content in our pesto chicken pizza decision.

I hope that you all have a very very Merry CHRISTmas!!

Santa...I know him! I KNOW HIM!

So its about 20 degrees outside and what am I eating?...Ice cream (I am without a doubt my father's daughter). Not only ice cream. Ice cream with some mallows! Its good to know I'm staying true to my blog title.

Christmas is upon us! 17 days...I'm so ready. Are YOU ready? (just out of kanakuk habit, my auto response to this is always "I was born ready!") And only 13 until Montana. Only 3 days left of practicum for the semester. Today was the last day of class. And one more paper due Monday. Then I'm officially on winter break! PTL. I'm very much going to enjoy not having a schedule, no homework, sleeping in, hoping for snow to do some sledding, and lots-o-lots of Christmas baking of course : ) Along with enjoying doing absolutely nothing, I have a list of just a few things I really want to accomplish over break including...
-Catch up on some reading. I'm shooting to finish HP7 and start and complete Les Miserables.
-Learn some new tunes on the piano. Its been a while since I've had free time to challenge myself with some new songs
-Scrapbook some up to date
-Color a little bit in christmas coloring books (color me 5 years old)
-Last but not least, be a bit of a lazy bum and watch endless Christmas movies. This is what break is really for in college. Seriously.

Speaking of Christmas movies, I believe these are my absolute favorite top 10 that I will need to scrounge up to watch. Majority of these I have on VHS. Not gonna lie...I miss those VHS days sometimes. But here they are...in no specific order, because asking me to pick one over the other is like asking me to pick my favorite Disney song...
1) Elf
2) The Santa Clause
3) Jingle All The Way
4) Home Alone & Home Alone 2 (this may be cheating putting them together, howeverrrrrr I'm over it)
5) White Christmas
6) How The Grinch Stole Christmas (The fires of looooooooove. Oh martha, oh christmas!)
7) Miracle on 34th Street
8) The Nightmare Before Christmas
9) A Charlie Brown Christmas
10) Its a Wonderful Life

In the season of everything wintery wonderfully wonderful, me and Alysia had our annual plaza date! I love this tradition that we have kept up with. 4 years going strong! We both are crazy busy: me with college and her with her big girl job, but we look forward to this in order for both of us to just relax, dress up & have a night on the town, catch up on life, and have some quality BFF time. We started out ice skating down at crown center....I have not ice skated since senior year in HS. To sum up, lets say I almost ran over multiple little children. Watch out parents when Tori's on the ice! Alysia found it veryyyyy amusing as to how I tried to skate backwards and wanted a video...I'm kind enough to share that video with yall. Thanks Alysia for making it sound like you're talking to a dog... "show me your trick, Tori!"


 Here is how my plaza date went down, in pictures...
 
I got to meet up with some crazy kids of TBC

I feel like we should send out a holiday card together, I think we're at that step in our relationship.


Me brushing up on my Broadway knowledge via quiz book

Next time I'll be blogging I shall officially be on break! So for you fellow students - good luck with finals and enjoy break. And for those of you with legit adult jobs - sorry to be rubbing in my 4 weeks of laziness. (but not that sorry considering its my last winter break as a college student so I'm living it up as much as possible!) : ) Until we meet again...have a wonderful week & preparing for Christmas!

Your not-so-really-much-of-a-movie-challenge-because-its-so-obvious quote..."First we'll make snow angles for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish...we'll snuggle."

Happy Needless Turkey Murder Day!

 Happy late Thanksgiving everyone! I hope yall had as much of a fabulous, relaxing break as I did. I headed down to Texas bright and early around 8 on Tuesday (yes, I'm guilty of skipping practicum this day...I'm such a good student) I grabbed a free muffin from Panera for joining in their new panera card (if you haven't gotten one, you definitely should. Join for free and instantly get a free pastry. Holla!), a cup of joe from Starbucks, and started out my drive with Taylor Swift's new cd...
Me belting it out to some T-Swift. You could say I was high on life this morning. Wouldn't you if you had 6 days off of school, got a free delicious muffin, and a new cd that could fit the soundtrack to your life?

In order to keep myself entertained on my drive down I kept tally marks of 3 things...1) How many road kills I saw. 2) How many semi trucks I passed. 3) and how many McDonald's I saw. Annnnnd which one do you think won?! Keep reading 'til the end to find out : )

I got to stop in Edmond to visit a good 'ol kampie, Logan! We had an epic skit together on our OD day at K-1 back in '09. It consisted of finding nemo, the wizard of oz, and making fun of wall-e. I'm so glad Logan shares the same kind of hatred for the movie Wall-e as I do.

This is how I feel about Dallas rush hour traffic...or at least when I'm not in a state of panic and scared for my life.

Wednesday was a pretty chill day. I started off spending some time at a Panera by my grandparents house to try to knock out a paper and some grad school crap. Mission unsuccessful. I mostly facebooked, youtubed, and people watched. Then I spent the rest of the day hanging out with Amanda, my cousin. Get this...we got to go to a FREE KEITH URBAN concert!! I love me some Keith. According to Amanda they really only were advertising it through a radio station so there were a decent amount of people there, but it wasn't totally jam-packed. Okay, technically it wasn't a full concert, but hey, I was within a arms length of this man! (video to come soon to facebook) I think he was filming something for a music video for his song Put You In A Song, considering there were cameras all around and he performed this song about 5 times in a row. Good thing I love this song! Then he performed some oldies but goodies like Somebody Like You, Days Go By, and Making Memories of Us. The whole time I was also searching around for Nicole Kidman thinking she'd be there with him, alas, no sign of her about.

Me and Manda face at the concert. I don't want to brag, but I wore this orange v-neck, and the next day when Keith performed at the halftime show for the Cowboys, he was indeed wearing an orange v-neck. He definitely saw me and knew how much I love him and wanted to reciprocate : )

Afterwards, we met up with the rest of the fam for a late dinner... 
Cat, I'm a kitty cat. And I meow meow meow and I dance dance dance...

Then it was Turkey Day! I love this day because it pretty much consists of lots and lots of family games. We played What's Yours Like (hilarious game), Scattegories, Picture Telephone, and Balderdash. Balderdash is one of my favs, except for the category of initials. I suck at initals. One of the initals was GLFC...I gave up on this round and put down a throw away answer. "Grandfathers with Lice Finding Cleanliness" Get this, I got 4 votes with this baby! haha seriously family?!
Picture Telephone was pretty entertaining too. One I started out with was "Betty White is my hero." haha somehow Betty turned into raggedy ann, and raggedy ann turned into bob marley. This one ended with I like singing with Bob marley by the campfire.

After our butt-load of games it was finally feasting time! Oh my goodness, I had a huge food baby afterwards but it was totally worth it. We played the cheesy game where we go around the table and say what we're thankful for. If you know me, you know I'm indecisive. I had to make a list. Mine consisted of 1) family (the obvious cheesy answer) 2) country music 3) and peanut butter. To sum up...It was a great Thanksgiving this year!

Me & Amanda dueling for the wishbone.

Later during the weekend we did some baking (go figure) although I don't know how we could possibly eat these after all the food and desserts we had on Thursday. We ran out of the hershey kisses, so we had to get creative and use mini chocolate chips. These cookies certainly have some character and flare.

My break definitely went by wayyy to quickly, but it was time to head back home and to school. I made another stop in okc to visit a fellow intern from the summer for a bit. I love making stops on long drives to visit friends, it helps break up the drive and make it go by faster. Especially since the drive home always seems to go so much slower than the drive getting where ever you're going in the first place. I was quite bored with my drive near the last 3 hours...so bad that I was speeding juuuuuuust a littttttttle. Maybe 10 over the speed limit, perhaps 13 at times...Good thing there were no po pos in sight!

I came home, was up until 2 working on finishing my paper and grad school-ness, woke up at 6, and headed to class. I may have fallen asleep in my 2nd class of the day when we watched a movie. All I can say is tonight I'm thinking of loading up on some nyquil and passing out for the night!

Annnnnd as for the winner of the counted tally marks. Drum roll for the winner on my drive down to TX was........ 
The winner was semi trucks! Personally, I was rooting for road kill. But what can ya do?

In other news...CHRISTMAS IS COMING! : ) Get excited. Have a wonderful week everybody and good luck for those of you like me who will be attempting for counter balance my thanksgiving food baby!
