The MooMoo

My sister, Jennifer, got a MooMoo about 5 years ago from her former boyfriend's mom. It was part of her Christmas present. Little did we know at the time that Jennifer would proceed to wear it year round!!! She not only wears it to sleep in, but she'll also wear it in public!! Seriously, think the local grocery store in this thing! Well, Jennifer and a few friends headed to Wal-Mart to get some fun Christmas stuff for this Ugly Christmas Sweater Party we attended last night. She comes home with lots of fun jingle bell earrings....and a MooMoo for me! She thought I secretly wanted one all these years. Now, if you could have seen the excitement on her face, I could not disappoint. So I put on my high top converse, black tights, and my candy striped shirt underneath my amazing new article of clothing. Jennifer did the same. And this is what we looked like!

Mine says "Let It Snow" and it actually did a bit last night! Jennifer's says "Happy Holly Days" and yes there is some holly attached! We had such a great time at this party! We had some great gumbo, hash brown casserole, spinach and cheese dip, and some amazing cookies. Of course, there were also 2 kegs and a ton of jello shots. Jennifer and I competed in Twister, and I won!! It's so nice to have Jennifer back from the law school caves!!!

Yarn Coma

Ok, so in the past few months I have picked up crocheting! It's really exciting and fun! My friend Rachel has been knitting for years and decided she wanted to learn how to crochet. So she basically taught herself. Isn't she awesome!?

Well I'm not sure how it happened exactly but Rachel, Jamie, Aeja and I all decided we wanted to start a little group to learn all about it! So we meet every Wednesday and work on our projects. It's basically my favorite day of the week!

I crochet all the time. I think I've made 8 or so hats, 3 scarves, 2 boxes, and one glitten...among countless other unfinished projects. It's kinda funny to think about how a few balls of yarn can turn into something amazing that will keep your head warm! I even stopped at a walmart in Clarksville on the way back to Fayetteville...to get a phone charger..and just happened to stop in the yarn section. Yes, I bought 2 rolls of yarn. I have a problem. Rachel calls it a yarn coma! I just stare and stare, wanting to buy every single ball of yarn there ever was!

Here's Rachel trying to help me with my yarn dilema!
