My oh mayo Monday.

mayo in the title is said with a spanish accent, so it's said like "my oh". not the shortened form of mayonnaise.

yeah.

Here is a list of things.

1. Our dorm smelled like cabbage last night. Sick, I know. My friend Suzanna compared it to an Eastern European slum. Terrible.
2. Spring Sing is in full swing. If you want to know what this is, watch the video of the fabulous women of Gamma Rho here.
3. I love my mom. I call her daily. Judge me. Well she and my dad are in Haiti for 2 weeks which kills me. I have called her phone twice to listen to her voice mail. Really though.
4. I am playing intramurals for gamma, and I have a game tonight at 10. You should probably come, because this is a video of my highlights from last season. (You might be saying, "But Natalie- that is Kevin Durant..." and I am telling you that KD got all his moves from me.)
5. People of Walmart. Go to this website. Love the pictures.
6. Diet coke. Splendid and wonderful. I am working on a nice 32 oz cup that Kara got me. Ahhh.
7. My friends and I had been on the google image page for "Babies with Wigs"... Figure that one out.
8. Gnomes. You all know my affinity for the wonderful little things. Feb 11th, I will be seeing this movie. No questions.
9. My best friend Sarah loves Asians. After seeing this, why would you not?
10. This day is going by so very slowly. Go talk to someone you have never talked to, or love someone who you struggle to love, or give something away. Change the world.

Pay it Forward!

Today I was reading my friend Amber's blog and saw this great idea.

I promise to send something handmade
to the first 3 people who leave a comment here.
To be eligible, you must also post this in your blog,
offering the same thing to 3 other people.
The rules are that it must be handmade by you and it
must be sent to your 3 people *sometime* in 2011.

So, if you want 3 handmade things, but also want to make 3 handmade things for 3 other people, comment, leave your email, and then also post this on your blog! Who doesn't love handmade gifts?

Merry Christmas, have some food.

That is how I feel about my whole life right now.

Let's celebrate Christmas.

Have a cookie. Some candy. Chocolate covered pretzels. Egg nog.

Gah.

Well here is the recap of my daily Christmas Break activities.

-Wake-Up: 12:30 ish.

-Eat: All day

-See friends that have been away.

-Go to sleep: 12:30.

Repeat.

We opened Christmas gifts tonight. I was lucky enough to get a lot of what I wanted, and then some stuff that I didn't expect. When Musset (our adopted college student from Haiti- NBD) opened one of his gifts which my mom explained to him was a heated blanket, his response was "Shut up". Oh, how America has affected him. Great.

The Capitol Hill Christmas Party.

Wonderful, stressful, full of wrapping boxes, terrific.

Pictures? Ok. fine.

The greatest.

But that has been Christmas.

I wonder what Musset thinks about Christmas in the US.

A fat man that talks to little kids and has a bushy beard.

A tree with lights and tacky ornaments.

Putting lights everywhere.

Rushing to stores to buy everything.

Aye yaye yaye.

But to keep us all in the festive spirit, look at this picture.

It is the best little picture I have ever taken.

This little boy is wonderful. He doesn't hate me. If other people get on to him, he comes to me.

It's love.

Anyways.

Happy Christmas.

Terrible terrible terrible.

My Bedroom.

Just kidding.

But it's official. I have way. Too. Much. Stuff.
My bedroom looks like an episode of Hoarders.

Seriously though.

I would take a (real) picture, but I don't want to embarrass myself.

Holy Toledo. Wish me good luck.

When I grow up...

Don't google it.

I did.

I was going to see what google suggested I do when I grow up.

I mean, people search google for the answers all the time, right?

Well this time it was wrong.

At least I hope it was wrong.

If not, prepare yourself, world, for me to pursue a career as a PussyCat Doll.

Or anywhere with you.

My beautiful friend Taylor made this for me for Christmas.

It says "Gnome is where the heart is".

For those of you that don't know, I LOVE gnomes a lot.

They are splendid.

ESL

So Amanda, my dear friend, called me today to see if I could help with ESL tonight at Capitol Hill. For those of you that don't know, ESL stands for English as a Second Language. I knew that Amanda works with the kids on these nights, so I expected to be teaching English to little kids, which sounds great to me.

Tonight was much different.

I made sock puppets.

I made necklaces.

I hung out with some great kids.

The best part of the evening, by far, was the dancing though.

And what better Artist to dance to than JB himself?

Amanda, if you read my blog, don't hate me. I didn't put these on facebook!

Side Note: I'm interning here next semester. Woot.

Prepare for lots o' blogs.
