SORRY!!! I know it's been a while...

OK, so...
I've been gone for a long while because I've been too busy hating school with all of my might. It takes a lot of energy, you'd be surprised. School is the bane of my existence, and I'm soooooo done with it at the mo. I'll only be taking two classes next semester because I actually want to not die of stress related diseases and because I want to do things that actually matter in life (read: anything but school). Only three more papers to write, one of which has to be done by the end of Thanksgiving break, so.... eeks.

Work has been awesome as always. Babies! I love em. Only problem was (not a problem if it weren't for sucky school) I had to work a full-time week the first week of November, which put me way behind in schoolwork. Just gave up on some of it... is this a good thing or a bad thing for Mariah? No one knows.... serves me right to get a B on a report card, after I've ruined so many curves. I'm prepared..... come get me, Karma! I love my babies, and it's another reason to only take two classes next semester. Bam.

I took a trip to St. Louis the other weekend, met Geoff's parents, went on a tour of the Anheuser Busch factory, etc. We went shopping too, to Teavana and Lush, OMG. I spent waaaaaaaaaay too much money. But now I have sooo much tea and plenty of soap for like the next three years. YES.

Last weekend was Dana's bday. Just throwin that out there because she's my bestie. and she's awesome. and you all should love her because I do.

Now to Turkey Day. I can't wait to see the fam tomorrow, we've got a day at cMoe planned and an evening at the circus. Hopefully I'll have time to post in the midst of writing those last three papers... xxx to all of you readers. MWAH.
