OH look at that! A 365 before noon! That's a new record for me!
Well here we go, this is what I do when daddy leaves the house for work. I put on my prom dress and climb on his furniture (with a booster step, that thing is pretty tall!). I only had fourish hours of sleep soooo he'll forgive me if he finds out. I spent last night talking to my best friend and she always keeps me entertained until the wee hours (2am). I woke up this morning at 7ish to go to daddy's house. He made coffee (which I couldn't resist) and I had some of my favorite cereal...Lucky Charms...yumyum.
I also have a tasty little cupcake waiting for me with a little santa clause on it. I spent all of yesterday baking: two rum cakes and more than a dozen cupcakes, which is why yesterday's picture was so rushed! How am I even functioning right now?!
Today I haven't really done anything. I'll hopefully be sending my last college apps woohoo!! I only have Brown, Lewis and Clark, Holy Names, and Wellesley to send...and that's out of ten schools! Hopefully I'll get into one of them! If not then I'm spending a few years in Costa Rica (shh the parents don't know ;) ha).
