Bringing In The Holidays

I just have to say, give me a dance party any day and I'll be the happiest girl on earth. In a word, formal was fabulous. The night started out with a beautiful dusting of snow that made everything look magical and the ride a little bit longer to the Science museum. I went with Alex to the dance and he was the perfect date. Not every boy could handle being with the sober girl who's in charge of "managing the risk". Just one of the many perks to my position in the house. So while the evening wasn't flawless, it was perfect. I think that everyone had a great time and overall, spirits were really high. As we head into finals next week this is what everyone needed. I am constantly reminded of how amazing my friends are. I don't know what I would do without them and I don't know what I did to deserve them. Alex, Karen's date, remarked how weird we were but then followed it up by saying, "Not that that's a bad thing. " That's how I like to think of us. Weird in a good way and a way that bonds us all together. I mean how many times have Karen and I asked ourselves if other people do the types of things we do in the confines of our little room 4. Dancing to flogging molly, bed bouncing(you know what I'm talking about girl) or baking brownies at midnight because we can't go any longer without our fix of chocolate. Harris is more than likely the funkiest girl I know and that is the reason I love her. She went to the dance with Alex's roommate Joe. Joe was perfect. He was just as quirky and fabulous as the rest of us and even put up with Katie's turning rose petals into snow... see above.

So while I can't include every last detail of the night, rest assured that formal was everything that it should have been and more.

Finally, I am SUPER excited because I just booked my plane ticket this morning to go visit my lover Kenny out at West Point. I'll be going to a fabulous ball and pretending like I belong at some ridiculous Military Academy. Anyway, it should be perfect and I'm so excited I get to go. I couldn't imagine a better date for such an occasion than the one and only Kenneth Arthur.

Tonight is Alex's date party and it's famous couple theme. True to form, we don't know which couple we're going to be yet, but hey there are more important details in this life. So this afternoon I'm hoping to relax and gear up for the big evening ahead. Should be yet another fabulous dance party. Sometimes I can't believe my luck.

So today I'm thankful for the beautiful snowfall last night because the world looks so shiny and new. Also, I am beyond thankful that I got to come home last night, wash my face, brush my teeth and go to bed until I woke up with no other agenda than just being warm and comfy under the covers.

All for now and lots of love,
Kate
