Home for the holidays

Today I dropped +Luke DeWitt off at the airport. He's going to SOUTH AMERICA to visit his family! I'm really happy he gets to go and see them. He's going to have SO MANY ADVENTURES! I can't wait to see all of the pictures that I'm sure he'll take! I also can't help but feel a little sad because this is the first time in nearly 3 years that we've been apart for so long. But I get to spend the next three weeks cuddling with my dog and hanging out with my family.

Tonight we're watching It's A Wonderful Life. It's a tradition in the Smart household. Except this year Coop isn't here. He's off visiting a friend in Colorado, but he'll be home tomorrow! I AM SO EXCITED! We used to hate each other, but now that we're older, we're really close. I really enjoy hanging out with that kid.

Well, my dog is sleeping on his pillow beside me on the couch, and we're all watching a movie, so I shall stop typing for the night.

There really is no place like home for the holidays. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Of Course Not - The Zombie Song (Lyric Video)

Thankful The Beatles can take my sad songs and make them better.

Rant of the day

Okay. Excuse me for a minute, but I'm going to rant about something that has bothered me for awhile. It has happened to me several times, and I see it on Facebook posts quite often. When someone changes something about themselves, such as their hair color, it is not okay to to say things like "I liked it better the other way." I don't know if people just forget their manners or don't realize that it's extremely rude or what, but it is. Usually when someone changes their hair color it's because they are tired of what it was and want a fresh look. Plus they think it looks good, and usually it makes them feel good. It sucks getting back-handed compliments like that. So anyways, that's my little public service announcement for the day. If someone changes their hair color tell them it looks good. Don't tell them you miss their old hair or that you think it looked better the way it was. Seriously. It's not nice.

SNOW DAY

I had my fingers crossed for a snow day, and GUESS WHAT?! NO SCHOOL! WOOHOOO! I was supposed to have had a final in my Programming class this morning, but the snow said "NOT TODAY!" So here I am sitting at home enjoying a day off. I have yet to step foot outside, but I probably will see if the snow packs and maybe throw a few snowballs. We shall see.

The Road To 112

Dear Torey,

Here's the deal. You're not fat by any means, but you have been gaining weight. That has to stop now. For real. You have been drinking pop again (which is a total no-no), and haven't been eating super healthy (understandable seeing as you're a broke college student -- also why are you drinking pop then?). You have a career path set out before you that requires a healthier lifestyle. Plus, you need to look good on stage! So here's what we're going to do. No more pop starting now for the next three weeks. NO EXCEPTIONS. After three weeks, the occasional soda won't be a problem. Work out AT LEAST 5 times a week for the next three weeks. Stop eating so much candy/cookies/sweets.

LET'S DO THIS!

Love,
Torey

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! Today was a rather enjoyable day. Luke and I went home to my parents house, and we had Thanksgiving dinner with my grandparents. So. Much. Food. Everything was so freaking delicious. Mmm. My parents are the best cooks. MMM. I wish I could have homecooked meals EVERY NIGHT EVER. Sometimes I make delicious foods, but I don't like taking the time to make food. Haha. Anyways, got a little sidetracked there. Back to today. It ruled. I got to hang out with my dog, and he was SO STOKED to see me when I got here! I told mom not to tell him I was coming home, and when I got here, he greeted me at the door and gave me this puzzled look and then freaked out with excitement! AH. I love my pup!!! He's sleeping on the couch next to me now underneath a blanket, and it's adorable.

Tonight we officially kicked off the start of the Christmas Season with Christmas Vacation. That movie is so funny. It doesn't even matter how many times I see it, it's still hilarious. I also did some more Christmas shopping tonight. I ordered stuff for my dad, Coop, and Luke today. AND I AM SO VERY EXCITED! I love getting people presents. Hahaha. It's the best.

Anyways, I think I'm going to go to bed soon. I'm super tired for some reason. So there's that. BYE.
