SNOW!

It's been snowing ALL DAY today in Dallas. It's craziness! There has been a constant flow of the fluffy white stuff since 5 this morning and it's now almost 11 PM! If you live in Texas, you know how rare this is. We had a record-breaking 9 inches of snow and it's not over yet. I woke up for my entirely-too-early 8AM class and peeked out the window to see DBU beautifully covered in a blanket of snow. I really like the idea of snow being like a blanket-- to cover us all in loveliness and magic, forcing us to do nothing but stay inside, read a good book, and drink hot chocolate. It's perfect. And to make it even more perfect, school is canceled again tomorrow. It's a Christmas miracle!... In February.

Love is in the Air

We all know what time it is... especially if you're single. That's right, Valentine's Day is lurking right around the corner. The day of love. Or in some people's opinion, a day that America has commercialized in Hallmark cards, boxes of crappy chocolate, and a bundle of roses, all to say "I love you." I'm making it my goal this year not to be bitter, but to celebrate my singleness. In the past, in high school (ha, i act like i was so long ago), I remember the carnations being passed out during science class and how awkward it was-- a la My Life As Liz. And the bitterness that came along with not having a boyfriend to buy me mounds and mounds of carnations. I don't even like carnations, but still, it was the thought. So anyway, this year I will celebrate Valentine's Day by enjoying my lack of carnations, wearing a fun dress, and possibly even make chocolate dipped strawberries-my favorite. YUM!

Here is a picture of me celebrating the day of love with themed nail-polish. WOO!



I also really like this-- so true.

My Little Corner Of The World

So, here it is. The first blog. I'm not sure how I feel about all of this blogging non-sense yet, but here I am. I'm officially a noob. It was a difficult process choosing the name, I'm not going to lie. I wanted to be that girl who just has a clever name all picked out with this awesome story about how these song lyrics were like the theme of her life and they followed her around, and so of course when choosing a blog name, there was no other option than to choose that oh-so-profound set of words. But tragically enough, that is not my story. Here it is, Peachy Keeny. I chose it because a) I like peaches. b) My favorite color is orange, but I couldn't think of anything creative about an orange. c) My life is feeling pretty "peachy-keen" at the moment :) d) "Peachy Keen"-- no y, was already taken. Dang flabbit. But that's okay. Just adds "character", right? Maybe I'll figure out a more significant meaning later.

More to come...
