FlashBack & Featured Friday Friend: Max Next Door

After sleeping in yet again yesterday, I hung out with my next door neighbor, Max.  I remember when Max was born when I was 10 years old.  Even though he is only 13 he is very mature for his age and can carry on adult conversations.  Unlike me, he even has a job.  Last night, my mother, Max next door, and I took a drive downtown to Eat at Ricobene's and to see some Christmas decorations.....
   The Art Institute Lions hav been my most favorite Christmas decoration since I was a baby.  Not only do I loove lions and The Lion King, I loove that they put a wreath around their necks.

 Trees without leaves are always more beautiful with lights.

a penny saved is a penny earned

Did some errins at Target last night and came across this really good sale!!

Besides saving a penny last night, I can't believe I haven't blogged in over month...

This past month and a half...
--I interviewed for Teach For America, and was not accepted.  It's actually a blessing in disguise because the more I have looked into it, it's not really for me...I'm currently receiving my Master's in Education anyways, so I will be teaching soon enough.
--I've gotten straight A's in all of my grad school classes so far... I have also made some good friends and connections.
--My blood test said my cholesterol is 238, which is high becuase my doctor said it is suppose to be 180 or less.
--I bought a new phone and should be getting it hopefully today or tomorrow.. Then I can actually blog on the go
