Too oh, oh...niner

FINALLY 2008 is going to be GOOOONNNE. I think I can safely say, on behalf of many of my friends, family and myself, GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE 2008. 2009 can only be better!!

Originally I was going to post a time line listing all the shiz that went down in '08, but I have decided that I will keep the list and just e-mail a few of you with it so you can laugh and cry over it without the world seeing it all.

On my birthday I made "the year of 24" resolutions, so I do not really have any New Years resolutions per se. But my goals are as follows:

1. Travel to at least 2 places I have never been
- so far this is going well I JUST bought tickets to Vegas for Liz's quarter life crisis party :D AND I plan to visit Officer Rossifer in London (been there, BUT) then go to Scotland or Wales since I have never been to either of those places.

2. Use my creativity
- This too is going well, I am going to be in a sketch comedy in Feb and March. I have also been sewing a rather ridiculous amount.

3. Pay off my F-ing Credit Card
- A word of advice. NEVER put your entire long distance relationship on a credit card. Even a year and some odd months later I am STILL trying to pay it off- its worse than college loans. And then you can't really complain about it to the new guys you date... "Sorry I am not spending this kind of money on you...?"

Sure things of 2009:
1. Bush will be out of office: hu-freaking-zaaaah!!!!
2. I will be starting Grad School: whoop whoop, watch out my brains are gonna be growing!!
3. I will go to Vegas: with like 10 other women... I will take pictures so we can try to remember it all.
4. I will go to London: Ross will arrest me if I do not.
5. Another one of my friends will inevitably get engaged.
6. My mom will call me to ask a simple question and then end up messing it up some how and instead, will have uncontrollable laughter and have to hang up and try again later.
7. My dad will win and I will buy a condo ( he always wins): with what money... I do not know, so if I rob a bank to pay for it, you know NOTHING.
8. I will get caught singing to myself as I am about to get on or off the elevator in my building...again: it's too late to apologize, ooh yeaaaaah yeaaaahh.
9. This sweet tiger my boss gave me to put on my computer will become my mascot: grr rowr.
10. This year will be fantastic, if for no other reason than I will accept no less: I am very stubborn like that.

Anywho! Happy NEW YEAR!! 2009 is sure to be the tops! Be safe and ladies- be careful- its cold and we know we are all about to dressy kinda slutty, so mind the frostbite.

Ode to the Theme Party

So I was looking through my facebook photos today and realized that I am in costume or some sort of planned uniform A LOT. Its not like I just wander around in costume, I have places to go. I just seem to be stock piling such opportunities as of late.

To begin, there was October 14th- the best day of the year, my birthday. We had a theme party, Hippster v. Preppy:Seriously, look at all those hipsters... and then there is me- the Prep and Reggie was Kanye, that mystical mix of prep and hipster.

Of Course there is Halloween, my favorite holiday, when the ladies of the Boca Vis Country club and I rocked out in style and my other fabulous ladies cranked out some fantastic costumes as well:
That same weekend, November 1st- November 4th, I spent everyday in a Jim Esch T-Shirt and hoodie- along with everyone else I know in Omaha: (That's my lovely backside).
November 22nd was the first annual Turkey Tackle. MY TEAM WON! heeeellllllllls yeeaaaahh!!!! ... ahem... anywho, we all had t-shirts made, played football and then feasted:
December 5th: The Movember Party:
This stunning photo is of my friend and Andy and me (I know the mustache had you confused... but yes, it is me). Andy grew a stache for all of November to raise money for prostate cancer, I went along to the party because I am a mustache enthusiast. I helped turn him into Mark Twain (he should have won for his excellent costume, but came in runner-up) and then I dressed for the '80's. (He was 1880's I was 1980's haa...haaa...)

The next night, December 6th, I went to an ugly sweater party: I mean HELLO, classy classy ladies.
I am rather proud of all of these events. I do not know when my life became all about the theme but, I think I saw it coming at Mary's WT birthday bash back in September:

This weekend I am going to this Wondrous event: Santacon.

My life is an ode to the theme party. I live it. I love it. And you should join in.
