happy happy christmas!

IT'S CHRISTMAS IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!! 

anyone who knows me knows that Christmas is my absolute favorite thing ever. Like ever. Christmas movies in June and Christmas music in July. We decorated our apartment and its FABULOUS! But unfortunately I still don't know how to work Windows 8, so they're kinda dark...whatevs...

 We start in the hallway... Christmas lights. And did you know, red light makes you look really really good. Just sayin. 

Stars in the kitchen

our stockings! Can you guess who's who?

(kyle, kimberly, morgan, whitney, me, mateja, amanda)

our beeeeutiful christmas tree

representing with our tree topper

and of course, the real meaning of Christmas.

and Thursday will be Christmas!!! And if you don't remember, we're doing the same thing that we did last year.

and Charlie Brown Christmas is my FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Not even lying. So watch it.

oh, and this is SUPER DUPER exciting! Charlie Brown Christmas is on Hulu for free!!!!!! Yes!

wow...weird.

So today I am blow drying my hair, and chatting with my roommates, and I found out that our house is haunted.

All of a sudden, my blow dryer turned off and fell out of the plug.

I repeat.

The blow dryer fell out of the plug!

We're haunted.

"it's practically a holiday"

did you know today is 10.11.12?

"it's practically a holiday"

so listen to this classic Halloween song and look at our decorated apartment

 

welcome to our home!

our kitchen (taken from our family room)

we have a cute tablecloth and curtains hanging in the little room divider thing

our doorway going into the back

our family room (taken from our kitchen)

it's all in the details

cute table

this is actually a lot bigger than it looks, I promise.

spiderwebs on all of our lamps

our TV area

hanging lanterns, spiderwebs on the lamp, and little dolls (? I'm not really sure what to call them) from The Nightmare Before Christmas

our spooky clock

now we can tell everyone that it doesn't work on purpose for Halloween (we're too lazy to get D batteries. Who has D batteries?)

MY FAVORITE:

spiderwebs on our gong and our creepy skull!

Our window:

we moved our Psycho shower curtain (yes, this is our shower curtain. thankfully we have 2 showers.) to our window, and it's always open. It looks SICK at night from the outside. It's pretty creepy, especially when we turn our strobe light on. Everyone on University Avenue just looove us. 

I'll get a picture of it at night sometime. 

and here's a pretty creepy picture of the window, so I decided to put it up.

Happy Halloweeeeeen!

      

cleaning checks

Oh, cleaning checks, how do I love thee, let me count the ways....

haha yeah right. cleaning checks, the dreaded time of the month, decribed as "horrible" "stressful" "the activity of the devil" and "practically a seance" (according to Amanda, I'm just quoting here).

cute roomies

our room becomes a dumping ground

and this is our closet. we store everything in it during cleaning checks, mainly because Kimberly isn't allowed to have knives in her closet. hahahaha

In actuality, cleaning checks aren't all that bad. You just put on some tunes (I always sneak as many Christmas songs as I possibly can into the mix) and sing and dance and have lots of breaks for community Facebook creeping. They are easier for some people if their RA doesn't really check their apartment (cough..cough...), but there is a high level of stress for a second when your RA wipes her hand on every surface of your apartment. Luckily the cleaning fairies help you out and clean things that you didn't so that you get away with a miracle.

After cleaning checks, we always go on roomie dates. Today we went to El Azteca, it looks really sketchy from the outside, but it was actually really really good and not sketchy that much once you get inside. Whitney said, "Once we get inside, we need to take lots of pictures, and instagram them, and then put them on Facebook!" So, thanks to Whitney for lots and lots of pictures. 

Mateja's from New Mexico, so she prides herself in her knowledge of mexican food.

cutie patootie

food baby...

Amanda used to have a food baby...

"She just gave you the wink" "yeah and it was a good wink too!"

Kimberly was a little sad

:(

finally a good one!

haha Morgan haha

Kimberly: "Now be Spanish!"

Mateja: "ok, I'm doing the tango"

Erica: "but I'm French!"

Morgan: "and I'm creepy!"

Kimberly: "Now act like you're ghetto!"

clearly I failed.

Kimberly: "Now be white trash!"

Erica: "Where's the Nutella?"

This is Amanda after I did something really funny, but we can't really talk about it.

She was overwhelmed to say the least.

only in Utah...

Mateja's always the one to mess up the picture...

What?

this is pretty much my favorite picture of Mateja ever.

"And I'm only allowed upstairs!"

See, cleaning checks aren't that bad because they result in the best dates we ever have been on.

 Roomie dates. 

snailing

ever heard of planking? owling?

well there's a new revolution...

and we all had a date with homework that we were trying to get out of...

snails for dinner?

Mateja trying to snail on the toilet...it didn't work out

snailing in the bathtub

snailing on a sink

snailing on a couch

trying to snail on the toilet again...

what's on tv? snails.

snail love.

after almost falling off twice, snailing on a fridge. 

It's a good thing I didn't fall cause how awkward would that have been if we had to call someone for help cause I fell off a refrigerator...

plus it's pretty much the most attractive thing you could ever do. hahahaha
