My week of fame

BIG NEWS. I have finally achieved my lifelong dream of becoming a celebrity.

Here at the convent, the managers select a 'Woman of the Week' every week. I never pay much attention to it, but luckily Jackie noticed my billboard in the cafeteria yesterday.

When I moved in a few months ago, I filled out a form for this, and some kind person used my information to make this collage, which is sitting on display in the cafeteria. I took a picture with it, like a total freak.

So, normally I fix my hair up nicely for work. However, my power went out Friday morning while I was blow-drying my hair (for the second time this week), and I didn't feel like straightening my hair in the hallway again. So, in my pitch black room, I threw it up in a bun and hoped for the best.

Jackie and I just got back from seeing My Week with Marilyn, and as we were walking home, we heard someone singing loudly behind us. I was very impressed to hear such a nice voice coming from what I assumed would be a crazy person. When the guy walked past us, though, we saw that he was a completely normal guy. He seemed to be running an errand, carrying some grocery bags. He was wearing headphones and obviously just feeling the beat. He even let out a few little dance moves. I think we should all be more like him.

To conclude this post, I have included some photos of me using my Christmas presents.

Tyler gave me homemade bookmarks. This one features some of my favorite country singers. (Have I told you guys I'm in love with Kenny Chesney?) (P.S. I'm on the fifth Harry Potter.)

Kenzie gave me some office decor. Notice the business card holder. There's also the fake plant thing, the inspirational quote and the glass jar to hold pencils and pens.

Mom gave me earmuffs, and I sent her a picture of myself wearing them in the 30 degree weather the other day. I think she responded, 'LOL.' Mom is getting so hip.

On the left side of this photo is my New Orleans-themed artwork from my cousin Victoria. My room just keeps getting cuter and cuter.

Obviously, my other presents have all come in handy, too. Don't think that because yours isn't featured I haven't been using it. Don't stop giving me presents! I'll never be too old! Maybe I'll post more pictures next time to convince you.
