festivity at its finest

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
  
Since November 1st, Christmas music has been the only thing heard in my room. I have really big issues when it comes to this time of year because as soon as October rolls around, I'm like... CHRISTMAS TREE! NOW! Yes yes I know I should wait for after Thanksgiving but I can't help myself, I just get so giddy over those fourteen foot Pine Norway Beauties! {my family goes big}
 
But now that Christmas is ACTUALLY in unwrapping distance, I've complied a Christmas Bucket List that I am dead set determined to accomplish. I don't care what it takes, I won't make a fool of myself. After a late night phone call with an old friend, I realized the entirety of what a nerd I was in high school. I mean heck, people were skinny dippin at golf courses while I thought I was gettin' crazy by doing my math homework in pen.
 
you're supposed to do your math in pencil {devil smile}
 

So, without further adu {drum roll}

[ashlynn's christmas bucket list]
-two-thousand twelve-

1. Watch every day of ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas. It will happen.
 
2. Buy my dogs the following festive costumes

           Rocky: a snowflake
           Tazzy: an elf
           Pezia: the grinch
 
3. Wear ugly sweaters twice a week up until Christmas Eve. But afte that, I gotta be lookin' my best. Santa be commin'!
 
4. Try egg nog for the first in my life. No promises on keepin' it down though.
 
5.  Read two classic novels within the time period of being home. Any suggestions?
 
6. I will not eat out more than twice during the month of December. It's Christmas--we should all be cookin' and smellin' up the house with delicious goodness.
 
7. Go ice skating with someone of the opposite sex. {fingers crossed}
 
8. Build a snowman that has boobs. {cause I can do that here}{plus, it's america}

10. Play christmas tunes on the ivory for a whole day.
 
11. NOT THINK ABOUT SCHOOL!
 
12. Wear my elf ears religiously.
 
13. Snuggle up next to a fire/fireplace with a fine boii.
              {this is the most important one}

survival guide

Snow Symptoms: Extremely ugly and unattractive photos
Oh hello there! I realize that I haven't posted in about 2 weeks but I've been a busy bee. If it means anything, I've THOUGHT about blogging many times. 
 
My life, ladies and gents, is stupendously splendid! Although my toes have officially frozen off, boys think I'm a middle aged woman who is going through menopause because of the lack of time I put into my appearance, and my lips are consistently dry, my life is looking very optimistic.
 
I know I know, you really wanna date me now.
Get in line.

But seriously, snow. It's everywhere. And more than that, it is COLD snow. It kinda hurts.. But I realized that the reason for my suffering was because I was wearing something equivalent to a thong in sand storm--just inappropriate. That's why I thought I'd compose a user manual to staying toasty warm in a weather version of Edward Cullen. (sounds delightful don't it?)
 
Survival Guide to That White Stuff

  • Have at least 2 lbs. of hot coco mix on you at all times. Scarfs and mittens mean nothing if you're intestine and bowels aren't given proper consideration.
  • Stuff your bra with socks. Provides the females with two things 1) warm toasty puppies and 2) a healthy and boastful looking mid-section. Don't over think. Just stuff.
  • Wear two pairs of underwear. It'll save your life.
  • Don't brush your teeth with harsh toothpaste. You'll step outside and feel like someone is pouring nitric acid in your mouth. & flossing your teeth with nails.
  • Don't shave your legs. Like ever.
  • Don't do your hair cause Jack Frost is just going to screw you over anyways. If you wanna take it an extra step, just don't shower!
  • Eat everything in sight. Really doesn't do much, but resisting food at this time of year is just stupid!
  • EAT EVERYTHING PUMPKIN! Even if it looks gross, it is your moral obligation to take advantage of every seasonal item as possible. Don't be a panzy.
  • And like wear a jacket.

Maybe I'll just drop out of college and write a book about why my advice is better than Dr.Phil's.
Endorse me.
