LONG Day.

Really REALLY long day, so this is not going to be a long post at all. However, the weather was GORGEOUS today, as in really really sunny, and outrageously bright due to all the snow! Still cold and windy, but that's what coats and gloves are for. Speaking of which, my roommate's mom sent up some little Valentine's presents with Kelly's boyfriend, who's up visiting for the weekend. They included some Mary Kay mascara, some satin lip balm that Kelly says is amazing, and these SUPER SOFT EAR MUFFS! I think she found some fantastic end of winter clearance sales for them, and they are the softest things ever, which clearly is right up my alley.

History of Rock was gooood today, but we only managed to cover Kiss, AC/DC, Aerosmith, and a few others, which means ONE MORE WHOLE DAY dedicated to Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, and all those other cheesy 80's Hard Rock bands all my friends make fun of me for liking. Or, ok, a lot of them will dance with me to the fun songs, but still.

One worthy quote I will share with you was from when Andy was talking about going to his first KISS concert with his older brother in Owensboro, KY, at the tender little age of 14. After recapping all the theatrics KISS uses (Which, if you're not familiar, include fireworks, explosions, tons of fire, flying drum sets, spitting of blood and fire, flying Gene Simmons, and more confetti than you could even imagine), he says:

"I don't know about you girls, but it was like the check list for all things a 14 year old boy needs to have a good time. Fire? Check. Explosives? Check. Blood? Check. Rock'N'Roll? CHEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK!"


Yep. I'd say that's all the stuff we need to have fun too. Except maybe replace the blood with high heels, which KISS technically wears anyways.... so we're good.

I'm heading home for the weekend to do some visiting with friends and family, and of course to see my little Lily niece, since she seems to be growing SO ridiculously fast and is already walking and probably getting her driver's license soon. I believe we're doing a single girls night on Sunday, so you can probably expect some GOOD pictures of one of my new pairs of Steve Maddens, and maybe a semi-fancy dress I haven't broken out in a while!

Also one last tid bit- I of course just ordered some clearance workout pants from American Eagle, but the day AFTER I do so, all clearance is an additional 30% off (Code: 49816637) with free shipping all weekend. If it's not a clearance item, use the code 84176459 for an additional 20% off. So if you're into that at all, now's the time to check it out. I may have to just get myself on over there and order some jeans I was contemplating earlier in the week, since they'd be like... $14 with no shipping. Hm....
