I'm a slacker.

I was sneauxed in ya'll! But doesn't my house totally look like it needs snow everyday?


So, when it sneaux's in Louisiana, I get up at 6:30 AM and call everyone I know. The cool part is when you wake people up and tell them to look outside and then they say and they don't actually have anything there yet.





Hammond, where I live, got 9 inches of Sneaux!! How freakin cool, right? I couldn't have lived in a better place for snow. I walked around downtown and saw people I knew at like 7am. So much fun!




Anyways, it was fun for a cold minute, but then the electricity went out b/c Louisiana trees and power lines aren't designed to withstand the weight of snow. So I evacuated with a wet head (b/c when I got out the shower the power went out and left me cold) to Baton Rouge and spent the day with the boyfriend :)

I should be studying...

Final exams here I come! Yuck, I'm really not looking forward to it!
On a side note, I got to spend time with a few of my favorite people this weekend! Got to see the boyfriend Thursday night, my two best friends, and my family! :) I drank way too much Friday night, and I was definitely that girl.
Saturday I saw this:






Transport for Christ MUDFLAPS!

I look at Lacey with an eyebrow raised.

I say: What do you think they are transporting for Jesus?
Lacey: Baby Jesus'?
Me: Hm...
Lacey: baby lambs?
Me: I was thinking Mur. Yes, Frankincense and Mur...
Lacey: Genius.

O Bonsai Tree, O Bonsai Tree....

Don't laugh. It's cute. And I have a good explanation.
a) apparently it's tacky to leave your Christmas tree up for several months post Christmas.
b) I'm lazy
c) I don't really have space
d) I think I'd forget to water it, which would be ashame.
e) I'm lazy
f) Those tree farmers always cut too many little trees and I'm putting my foot down!
g) The bonsai tree goes with my theme for this Christmas. Azian Persuzian? Err...I'll have to get back to you on what the theme is... but it's a good idea in theory
My Favorite...Websites.

For Giving

What Is Kiva?
We Let You Loan to the Working Poor
Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.
The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.
Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance institutions. In doing so, we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished communities world-wide. Our partners are experts in choosing qualified entrepreneurs. That said, they are usually short on funds. Through Kiva, our partners upload their entrepreneur profiles directly to the site so you can lend to them. When you do, not only do you get a unique experience connecting to a specific entrepreneur on the other side of the planet, but our microfinance partners can do more of what they do, more efficiently.
