Padded

Merry Christmas!! I can't believe another great season has come and gone once again. It went by so fast! I spent Christmas eve in Salem with my dad's side of the family and Christmas morning with just the four of us at home. Later we drove down to Coos Bay to spend a few day's with my mom's family and exchange presents. My mom got an iPad! Now that we're home, the attention has been put on how to sync her iPhone with it. It's been quite a challenge but we get closer to figuring it out every day. The next task is going to be finding a great case for it. She has the pink smart cover by Apple and now she's searching for a softer case for storage and travel. Here are some of my recommendations...enjoy, mom!

Wish List

14 more days until Christmas! I couldn't be more excited for that magical day. I have to keep reminding myself to appreciate every day leading up to THE day because the closer we get to Christmas, the closer I get to going back to school. I've been sort of down and out lately because of my shoulder surgery. It's been such a whirlwind these past few weeks! I had three finals in one day and every waking moment before my exams were spent with my nose in a book (okay, maybe Pinterest served as an occasional study break). The day after my finals I was scheduled for shoulder surgery and I was also planning on going home that same day. My parents drove me home and my mom has been the best nurse in the world when it comes to making sure I'm as comfortable as possible. I also had killer headaches which kept me away from the computer for a while, hence the lack of blogging.

Here's an (unrealistic) list of things that I would LOVE to get for Christmas this year and I think most girls would agree they wouldn't mind seeing this below their tree as well. If anyone feels the need to do a random act of gifting, you know how to get in touch with me ;)

Raining Cats and...More Cats

Oh my WORD it is raining in Seattle like nobody's business! I know I signed up for some showers and year round cloud coverage but not flooding in the middle of campus! I need a serious shoe update, I could probably use a pair of those pants that fishermen wear when they go wading in shallow water. You tell me, is it a good look? I think I'll need to invest in a pair of these if the rain decides to keep coming down the way it has been (Yes, I've been in Seattle for a year and a half and still don't have rain boots!).

After I get the boots, it's time to finish the look! I'm in LOVE with this rainy day style...check it out!

Boots...Without Fur

Oh Hey! I haven't posted for a while and the fact that I'm taking Anatomy can be blamed for that. I just finished up the second exam (one more to go!) and I'm taking a break tonight from studying. Right now I'm all about Bon Iver Pandora, graham crackers with peanut butter and wearing my Ugg boots 24/7. Even though they weren't meant to be worn with sweat pants every other day, that's what my life has come to. Putting on a pair of my favorite Hudson jeans today took some effort. I'm just thankful that I can pull the "athlete" card whenever I feel like walking out the door in a pair of yoga pants for the second day in a row (okay, third).

This morning I started out in a pair of Toms but then realized that I would not be nearly as comfortable taking my exam if I wasn't wearing my Uggs. Spending my time on Pinterest while getting ready in the morning while I get ready has also made me realize how versatile and adorable a good pair of boots can be. Next on my list is a pair of tan/brown boots similar to this first look.
