carnaval...
my fingers have been itching for something to do and i'm in a fairly good mood so i thought a nice xanga post would be appropriate. like a bowl of ice cream. just cozy up and indulge yourself in your favorite flavor of xanga. yes, as a matter of fact, i did just make that connection and there's nothing you can do about it. so i've decided to give up ice cream for lent (because it's one of my favorite things), and while we don't do lent in my church, my catholic friend said that it would be okay because it's all about the thought. i did french fries last year, but i decided to up the ante a little. so now i'm doing french fries and ice cream. i don't know how i'm going to get through it either. but today's the day...the carnaval, mardi gras, fat tuesday, whatever you call it. it's my day. there are four of us giving up ice cream, so we're all meeting at coldstone tonight to have one last hoorah. yes, there will be pictures. (below)
so i just had a ham and cheese sandwich and i probably should have left out the ham. it was about two shakes shy of becoming a science experiment in the fridge.
just got my new book in the mail today and i'm excited. i had two people recommend it within about a week, so i went to amazon.com, read the first chapter or so (because they're cool like that) and decided to get a copy (lightly used, of course--much cheaper that way). "the perks of being a wallflower" by stephen ciabattabread. actually, it's chbosky. but i'm a bit of a wallflower myself, so i thought it might be interesting. we shall see.
um...yeah, definitely should have left out the ham.
good week so far. had a test on thursday that was postponed, so that's always a good thing. especially in that class. march is my month for speakers at rcm, so i'm excited about the line-up. can you believe it's march already? well, very nearly. hmmm. crazy. welp, stuff to do, so we'll chat more later.
::edit:: we're all good now. found a candy cane that's telling that slimy little oinker to quiet down. oh, and if you're bored, do this for me, then do it for you.
::edit:: so here it is. i look pretty chubby in this one, actually (just for the record, i wear smaller jeans than brandon, at least in the waist). maybe this whole lent thing will be good after all. and brandon and i decided tonight to attempt sweets in general, too, not just the ice cream and french fries (well, french fries for me, soda for him). we'll see how long that lasts.
katie, me, brandon, katy
