Four for Glen Coco. You go Glen Coco!

Just in time for the holidays….

Note to self: Stop being fat

Dear Kaitlynn,

You really need to stop eating pizza and Wendy’s. Your ass is going to get bigger than it already is.

Dominos may have the really affordable $12.99 large pizza, cheesy bread and two liter soda deal that last for four to five meals, but this doesn’t mean that you have to get it every time it’s gone.

Wendy’s chicken nuggets may be the best tasting thing that’s ever met your mouth and just because you have free frosty coupons for the entire month of November shouldn’t dictate that you make a daily trip inside.

Your body will love you if you spend extra money on fruits and vegetables.

Love always,
Kaitlynn

P.S. Stop referring to yourself in the third person, stupid.

…Because Clorox flavored cupcakes aren’t the greatest

My two ways of relieving stress: Cleaning obsessively and eating cupcakes.

I could easily drown myself in the booze like a lot of people do, but I’m better than that.

I’d rather inadvertently inhale toxic fumes and become morbidly obese, thank you. It seems less damaging in the long hall.

So apparently I’m dumb and smelly

Dear John Street Residency,

Could someone please e-mail all the residents of the building when the hot water is going to be shut off? I nonchalantly stepped into the shower and realized that the temperature of the water was colder than Alaska.

I know, I know- there’s been signs in the elevator CLEARLY stating that the hot water would be shut off tonight. I’ve already given myself the spiel about how I should’ve taken responsibility and marked the night when maintenance would be fiddling around with the steam system.

…My bad for my lack of responsibility.

Please take into consideration that I am a college student; therefore, I have no concept of time. Just a little friendly reminder would be appreciated, pretty please. 

 I’ll e-mail this suggestion later on if I’m still in a proactive gung-ho type of mood.

In an empire state of mind

“In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
There’s nothing you can’t do, now you’re in New York.
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you, let’s hear it for New York.”

I just had another one of those “holy crap, I’m living in the greatest city in the world” moments.

I do appreciate living in Manhattan and it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. :)  This definitely rebuts my last post about missing Upstate  (aka, I’m basically over it).

I have a monster load of homework to get done, but I’ll start it and later on today (if it’s not too cold) explore the city.

I deserve a break and I’m taking it.

Thank you Jay-Z and Alicia Keys for rekindling my passion.

I miss home? A little…

I’d never seen colors so inviting as burnt amber leaves or an aroma so crisp as autumn back home.

Apparently the first snowfall hit there yesterday, while rain down poured here in New York City and my only umbrella broke while I was walking back from a Pace Press E-Board meeting at 10pm.

I violently threw the thing in the street in front of CVS and continued to walk back to John Street. There was no salvaging it.

The Pumpkin Patch down the street from me back home is calling for my little sister and I to roll down the Jack & Jill hill over and over again. I really miss her terribly. 8-year-olds are only that age once and I’d like to cherish it, as motherly and over sympathetic as that sounds.

Maybe I’ll trek over to Central Park to see some trees before the brutal New York winter shakes the branches bare and eats away at its beauty.

Must haves for the week

Things that I must purchase or else I will die:

-More sticky notes (they control my life, you know)

-Pants (although technically I can wear dresses all year round, I’d prefer if my ass wasn’t freezing all the time)

-A red peacoat!

-Mango tango Febreze for the room, since it’s the best scent to ever hit my nose.

 …if I could be paid, that’d be great too!

Crumbs cupcakes and Starbucks- perfect for Fall

I finally discovered what I’ve been missing out on my entire life…

Apple crumb cupcakes and caramel apple spice!

My friend Adrian and I finally made it to Crumbs Cupcakes near Wall St. when it wasn’t closed (we figured at 11am on a Friday that it should be opened).  We stood in front of the display glass gazing at the deliciousness that lain before us: chocolate chip cookie dough, white hot chocolate, red velvet, Butterfinger, the Britney “Blackout” chocolate cupcake, and more. The apple crumb cupcakes caught our eyes and after the man behind the counter told us there was apple pie filling inside, we simultaneously decided our breakfast for the day.

Since Crumbs has no seating, we went over to Starbucks around the corner (I swear I don’t do this often or else I would be broke and heavily obese) for some sort of drink. Signature hot chocolate looked divine,  but right below it on the menu was “caramel apple spice” and since my undying love and craving for real apple cider has been in full blast ever since the autumn air has hit, I asked what it was. The concoction of steamed apple juice with cinnamon syrup, topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle sounded great to pair my new cupcake up with.

….The phrase “orgasm in my mouth” practically says it all.

If I’m straggly and worn out, it’s a Wednesday

Wednesdays will be the death of me; I swear.

Staying up unreasonably late Tuesday nights completing my teaching homework for Thursday (since I don’t have time to do it on Wednesday) seems to be the trend these past few weeks.

I somehow managed to drag my lazy, sickly body from my bed this morning, brushed my teeth, threw my hair up into some sort of hot mess while walking to One Pace Plaza halfway alive.  My 9:05am math class was absolutely dreadful, so much that I decided that after an hour I had enough and came back to the dorm.

My English class this semester is useless; an hour of my time wasted on Wednesdays. I feel as if my 3^rd grade little sister could benefit more from this course than my actual class can.

POP TV meetings are Wednesdays too & that always brighten my day. Today we filmed Pace Fun Facts for those who wanted to be featured on the channel. Additionally, we always seem to have a random meeting or presentation for POP TV on Wednesdays, which is refreshing and productive.

I volunteered two weeks ago to deliver my public speaking informative speech today on the Food Network. I had possibly a million thesible and actual excuses to why I wasn’t ready to go and begged and pleaded with my professor to not make me go.  My professor is probably my favorite person right now for letting me put it off until next week and for being so sweet about it.  Also, I found out that Alton Brown from the Food Network is coming to Barnes and Nobles on Friday in Union Square, so expect me in line asking to video tape him or sneaking to get some footage to insert into my Powerpoint. I’m determined.

Now I’m winding down watching Toddlers in Tiara’s and getting prepared for my day tomorrow: Peer leading for my lovely UNV 101 class, my Teaching 201 course at 12:20, my internship from 3-6, and getting trained to be Production Manager of the Pace Press at 6:30. Sounds like a productive day…

I’m the new age Jesus- I’ll heal everyone with cupcakes

After two failed attempts with my friend Adrian at getting our heavenly Crumbs cupcakes (the second being this morning), I kept my fingers crossed for a good day to follow…

I’m ahead in my reading for my Teaching course. If I’m not dead by tomorrow, I’ll be spending sometime in the library researching the Native American form of education (or something weird like that?!). I’m making a video to aid my speech for my Public Speaking class on the Food Network since I love talking about television and food. Also, I have a little bit of arts and crafts for my online design class to complete.

I’m off to a good start.

 Now if I could get my paycheck sometime soon so I can buy a winter coat, more post-it notes, and most importantly, some medicine from Duane Reade to beat this deathly sickness out from my insides, things would be better.

Tazo tea, honey, ibuprofen, and cherry Halls cough drops are my best friends right now.

…but I really need more sticky-notes first or else I’m going to start bugging out because my life won’t be organized.

Call me crazy, I don’t care. I’ll eat a Crumbs cupcake and it’ll solve all my problems.
