What up 2 posts in 1 day

Vineyard Vines on sale (hurry they have limited quantity)!!!

If youre in the DC area the new Washingtonian has about a billion places listed to find cheap stuff (hence the cover). I wish I wasn't leaving for school in 2 days or else I'd be all over the area going to these places!

BTW-The Olympics are INTENSE. I had forgotten! Its like watching the last sprint of a horse race that you bet big money on! So exciting! And yes, I did cry several times not for the girls gymnastics, not for loosing, but for the poor girl (Alicia?) who has to go through life knowing she is the reason they lost (well she is!). No really, its sad.

Pathetic?

Sometimes I just sit and go through the sent in pictures on clothing websites (is this creepy? probably.)...just now it was vineyardvines.com and lillypulitzer.com.
And then I get into "must do this NOW" hyperactive mode. Which means on bid day (next Friday!!) when 200 girls are decked out in Lilly I need to get an adorable picture of us, preferably throwing up our gang sign.
And then I need to order our custom sorority VV totes (for the new girls), flip flops, head bands, and belts. And then force everyone to look ridiculous in head to toe VV for a (lets be serious) PR picture for their website.
And all of these pictures will be completely Angelos worthy thus making council mucho happy.
(and.......breath)


OH-and thanks to Third Coast Preppy for the In The Pink 40% off code (0812)!! Go check it out! The savings are am-az-ing!

Sorry about that...

please ignore the previous post, it was definitely an ambien induced high post. I shouldnt be allowed near anything when I'm on ambien. I make bad decisions. but hey, at least I didnt call an ex telling him I needed him RIGHT NOW, again. or order thousands of dollars worth of clothes, again.


so if youve been to TJ Maxx or Marshalls lately youve probably seen the Tommy Hilfiger critter sheets. I found the pink and green (ok turquoise) ANCHOR ones!! heart be still! too bad they are only 200tc (um hello cardboard) and I could only find them in twin (my bed at school is full and none of the rooms at my house are twin) aka they are useless (I found full/queen on ebay for $60..but no way I'm paying that much for something that doesnt exactly match my room and thats for $20 at said stores). So clearly I bought them. I decided to be crafty (I am not crafty AT ALL) and make things with them for my room!
Well I made a trial memo board with pink and green paisley fabric I had laying around (one day I thought I would be crafty. clearly it sat in the Michael's bag for months)...and its GORGEOUS! and SO easy to make! So I'm going to make a ton more with the paisley fabric (I'm not ready to cut up the anchor sheets...yes I realize I have no other use for them...). And I'm definitely going to make them for my friends/temp littles/real little as soon as I get one! I'm so excited!

I tried to upload a picture of the memo board for forever but it just won't work. ugh.
All I did was take fabric, stretch it around a used canvas (ugly thing I painted last year when I decided to be crafty), and staple gun it to the back. Then staple gun on ribbon going diagonal (small board so I only needed 2 strips across). For bigger boards I got quilt batting, but the small one is fine without it. Easy project!

AHHH!

Ok so I'm freaking out. And I don't know if its because I have ambien in my system or not(basically I took one over 3 hours ago...couldn't fall asleep and then started to freak out about everything going on in my life) --more on my ambien usage in another, more uplifting post.
Anyway, rush week is coming up.
I'm suppose to be down there the 9th to start "spirit/work week" then the 16th I can officially move into my apartment and the 17th is when formal recruitment starts (a weeks worth of it, very intense, yada yada). Well turns out I dont need to be there for spirit week because of some things so I'll be getting down the 16th. The more I type the more redicuious this is.
Ok so yay I have another week to get all my stuff (I have NONE of the outfits I need, still need last minute apartment stuff). Thinking about that made me start to realize I still have to take a ton of stuff to my tailor to have fixed. I need to get my hair done (down at school) before Rush starts and I have no time to schedule that in. I feel like everything is crashing down on me. And I'm sure its mixed nervs for the new semester/my frist recruitment week on the other side. And of course the ambien in me messing me up (again, youll really need to hear my stories one day of stuff I do on ambien. its great)
I feel like I don't have enough time AT ALL for anything. And its a completely horrible feeling.
And most likely I'll delete this (after I come down off my ambien high, and start getting things in order and realize//have mummsie and friends tell me its ok and everything will be fine). But for now you can enjoy my freak out. I feel like the inside of my body is moving at lightning speed and I cant keep up with it.

Dear my other AOT Sistaaaaas: why. i love you. but why.

Vineyard Vines store--WHY ARE YOU NOT OPEN AT THE MOMENT? I need to calm down and buying your things helps me.

JCREW--you suck. but again, buying your things would help me. maybe if you hadnt sent my parents my bill from last month I could be in your beautiful store.

and then daddsie just came in to yell at me about school. today is just the best day EVER. someone kill me.

oh and I'm starting a juice (smoothie) diet TODAY. Its insane how much weight I've gained this summer. I need to drink the pounds off until rush. I have to be one of the head girls all the PNMs see aka I need to look GORG in my Lilly and VV dresses.

the happier post to look forward to when I'm sane: pink and green anchor sheets, new obsession with making memo boards, ambien stories.

the only good thing right now: I'm using my sweet new MacBook AIR!! I love him dearly. And I have a facial later today--ie theropy. that should help me with my problems.
