SEEEEE Glasses make it Better

It is Their Fault!

Okay go to this site, click on Portfolio and pick a picture of any celebrity there. Move your cursor on and off the picture to see the before retouching and after retouching.

Ummm WHY do we have a unnatural sense of what beauty is? Apparently beauty is washed-out, waxy, freckleless, non-wispy hair, and no muscle tone. And beauty is also skinny, curvy, and zitless but those ones I knew.

As Kailey said: "They aren't pictures they are FICTURES, fictional pictures! Why do they even have people pose for them at all?"

One Year in Austin

I've been in Austin for a year now and I thought I'd share with you a few of the more 'choice' tidbits from my year.







Teacher: "Okay wait let me get a pen, okay now, where is the male strip club again?"

44-year-old Man: "So I am going to buy them for $5 and sell them for $10....wait....that makes money right?"

Guy: "They are practically communists out in California."
Me: "Actually, they are more like Socialists."
Guy: "No way! We are way more socialable here."
Me: "Right."

Teacher (out of nowhere mind you): "We run a considerable risk of offending African-Americans when we call them 'darkies.' "
Class: *stunned look of disbelief*

Me: "If I didn't know, I totally wouldn't know."

Teacher: "When I say you have brains full of mush I don't mean that in a nice way."

Teacher: "My wife spends most of my money."

Woman: "Where does Thai food come from?"

Church Sign:
DON'T FORGET
THE REASON FOR THE SEASON...
JESUS
OR OUR TROOPS


P.S. Happy Birthday Kristin!!!!

I Know This Has Been Said Before

But..... $500 on textbooks is UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Home for Christmas

It was so nice being able to go home for a couple weeks for Christmas and see the family and my friends there. Getting there was kind of tough because I stood in line for over two hours waiting to check-in and my flight left before I could even check-in for it. And actually returning was a tiny hassle when they couldn’t find my reservation, stupid American Airlines. Upside though, I almost have enough frequent flyer miles to fly home for free!! Yay!!


In a sort of good news/bad news situation my grandmother fell and broke her shoulder and knee a couple weeks before Christmas (actually a couple days before my uncle’s wedding) so she is pretty immobile and needs someone to be there to bring here meals and fetch things from downstairs. Obviously, that is the bad news, the good news is that I was the one on duty for a few days and I actually got to spend a lot more time with my grandmother than I probably would have if this didn’t happen so silver lining there.


Christmas was fun, my family still gets up early and opens presents at like 7/8am and for reference the youngest is 18 so yeah we are “young at heart” and we like Christmas.
