As I'm sure you're all well aware, Christmas was two days ago. I got everything I wanted (except for a dress I had my eye on!), plus a gym membership. Some people may think this is a 'hint hint' gift, but I'm not offended. I'm comfortable in my own body, thank you very much! I just want to be healthy. :D
Aside from a ton of gift cards, I got about five scarfs, black Uggs, some DVDs, a t-shirt stamping kit, a couple books, and everything I asked for from my daddy.
Well, I'm off to spend my Forever 21 gift card!
How did you make out this year?

My friends are all home!
I made the choice to stay home for college this year and attend my local community college to settle on a major, but it's still hard to see my friends having a good time without me. But now it doesn't matter, because we're all stuck on this man-made island together!
I'm really happy that they're all home, even though we only became friends at the very end of last summer. It was so weird how we all sort of clicked, but here we are, miss you's and hugs and frienships bubbling over all around.
Even though most of my friends and Boyfriend are all staying here for school, it seems like the glue of the group are all off-Cape (which is how us Cape Codders refer to the rest of the world). Good news, though: I'll be joining Adam and Cooper at Emmanuel in the fall, and Caffe e Dolci Samantha (hereby referred to as Caffe Samantha, or any variation of such) will be joining us in Boston at UMASS, if she so chooses.
Me, Boyfriend and Adam at our last reunion.
In other news, my tiny corner of Massachusetts has been hit by the Blizzard of 2009. In the hour and a half it's been snowing, we've been blessed with two inches of "perfect snowball snow". Part of me hopes work is cancelled so I can go sledding and spend time with my friends tomorrow. I'm all for that.

I'm officially done with all my official class-work!
I just submitted my last test for psychology, and with that (which I got a perfect score on, thank you very much!) I am done with my assignments for this semester. Now, I have two finals to take and then I'm done until late January.
I have some countdowns to look forward to, too.
Christmas is in nine days. Nine days?! It was true what my parents kept saying-it comes faster and faster every year. I (almost) finished my Christmas shopping, and completely cleaned out my checking account in the process. Bad me, but totally worth it. I just have Boyfriend's sister to buy for. I can't wait to set up my Christmas tree and see all the gifts under there!
My birthday is in fourteen days. I'll be nineteen years old, and all I want is a surprise party. Or, at least, a party I don't have to plan within an inch of it's life and bake my own cake for. I want my friends together in one place to celebrate with me. I asked Boyfriend to help me with this, and I sure hope he comes through. It would be really cool to just hang out all night, like a sleepover minus the sleeping and mean-spirited gossip.
I'm also leaving for Miami in twenty-one days for a cruise with my sister, my dad and my grandmother. My dad is a cheapo, but not when it comes to travel. Are you ready for this?
We're taking a limo from his house in New Bedford, Massachusetts to Providence's TF Green airport, where we will be taking a Southwest Airlines flight to Florida. We'll be taking a town car to our ship, the Carnival Imagination, where we're going to have VIP status. Which really only means we don't have to wait in line to board the ship. We'll be staying in a penthouse suite on the ship, which has a balcony. We'll be going to Key West and Cozumel, then back to Miami.
I think my dad is going to spoil my idea of cruises from now on. After all that, how am I going to be expected to settle for anything else? Of course I will. I love travel too much to let my accomodations fool me. :)
What are YOU looking forward to?

Winter doesn't officially begin for a week, but...
It feels like winter already, and I'm loving it.
Despite having SADD (seasonal affective depressive disorder), I love the winter. I love buttoning up cute flannels, pulling on adorable boots, zipping up cozy coats and bracing myself against the chill of the air. I've watched my style change over the course of the past few years, too.
First, it was baggy-jeans-and-oversized-sweatshirt Stephanie, since I was convinced my shape was ugly and unsightly. There are no pictures to hold against me as evidence, either. This was before freshman year, when I still had glasses and braces.
Then it was the whole not-caring-about-the-cold attitude, until the hot water pipes exploded at my high school and we had to evacuate into the freezing cold in tees. Luckily, a boy in my class was nice enough to give me his sweatshirt. Then my mom bought me a jacket for Christmas, which you can see below.
After that came the Northface years, which lasted up until I met my current boyfriend and his nonconformist attitude. Wanting to impress him, I ditched the Northface in favor of... nothing. I was back to not-caring-less.
Now, however, I developed my own style, and am embracing my big-boob, big-hips body. No, my boobs are of epic proportions. They have inspired long discussions between my boyfriend and his coworker. Awkward, I know.
But, here are my current winter favorites:
Tell me your winter favorites!

God bless the young and rich.
Allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Stephanie. I'm eighteen years old, but I'll be nineteen in a little over two weeks. I have another blog, which you can find the link to in my profile, but it began to drift away from it's point. So, I started this one for my random rants, raves, shopping excursions and all of those things. Randomness.
I'm terrible at these get to know you things.
My favorite color is pink. My favorite food is ice cream, but hey guess what? I'm lactose intolerant. I'm a freshman at community college, but I'll be transfering ASAP to the big city. And believe me, I'm excited.
I'm a silly little girl at heart. Believe me, you'll find out.
