the weekend...

My weekend was a lot of fun! The Race for the Cure went well on Saturday morning, and I only had to carry Snuggles about half a mile (so he wouldn't get stepped on). It always feels good to do something for a good cause.

The Britney Spears concert on Saturday night was an absolute blast! My friends and I had floor tickets, and since it was standing only, we got to the CenturyTel Center three hours early. I'm sooo glad that we did, because we ended up standing in the front row! Whether you like Britney or not, you have to admit that she puts on a great show. Here are a couple of pictures that we took at the concert (and we were so close they aren't even zoomed!).

 

UPDATE on "Card Girl" AKA Danielle Bartlett

UPDATE: Danielle has received over 9,000 cards and counting! She has a Caring Bridge site:

She has just finished another round of chemo and it seems to be working, as her tumor has shrunk by a lot. I added a picture of her from her page, and I hope that y'all will take a few minutes to send her a card. =)

My mom got this from a friend at work and I thought I would post it in case anyone would like to send a card also.

looking forward to a fun weekend!

I'm enjoying this rainy Friday so far, mostly because I know that I can be lazy today. I did hours and hours of homework yesterday to get a day ahead so I don't have anything due today which is sooo nice. Besides relaxing, my mom and I are going to our weekly lunch and movie. We're seeing Love Happens, which is a chick flick but I'm a chick and love that kind of stuff!

Tomorrow is a busy day for me. I have to wake up early (on a Saturday!) but it's for a good cause. I'm doing the Race for the Cure with two of my best friends and Snuggles is coming too. We did it last year and it was a lot of fun. Afterward, we went to IHOP for a celebratory meal which was very tasty after walking/jogging a 5k!

And tomorrow night is BRITNEY SPEARS! I don't care what anyone thinks, because I am soooo excited (like pre-teen excited)! Two of my great friends and I  are going to eat (and drink) before the concert and then we get to go to our floor seats which is really cool! I went to her concert the last time she came here (I was 16) and sat on the second balcony. It was a lot of fun, but I'm thinking that being so close tomorrow will make it even more fun. I can't wait.

I'll post a couple of pictures from the weekend on Sunday or Monday so look out for those. Hope everyone has a great weekend also!

P.S. GEAUX TIGERS!!!

mondays aren't so bad (this semster at least!)

Well, we certainly got rained on at the LSU game but still had fun and were relieved that the Tigers won! We're gonna need to practice a little more before we get to the big teams like Florida and Alabama though! Geaux Tigers!

Even though I'm taking 21 hours, I only have to go to class on Tuesdays and Thursdays plus my online courses. It's hectic on the "T" days, but nice for MWF. Today I went to the Rotaract meeting and it sounds pretty interesting and worthwhile. I'm excited to be a part of that. I then came home and made cupcakes for my friend's birthday and went to lunch with her. We had a lot of fun and some delicious food.

Now I'm in the middle of homework and have to study for a Business Statistics test...oh, so much fun!

Until next time...Christie

looks like rain...

It looks like it's going to rain any moment now...I just hope it doesn't rain in Baton Rouge this weekend, because I'll be watching LSU beat Vanderbilt! My mom and I went and saw the new Sandra Bullock movie, "All About Steve" today and it was pretty cute and had a lot of funny moments. We always go in with low expectations so we don't get disappointed. It usually works out pretty well for us!

I can't believe it's been 8 years since September 11. I still remember where I was at that moment and know I will forever. I am very thankful for all of the men and women who risk their lives for our great country and am very proud to be an American!

I hope that everyone has a great weekend! =)

friday

So the second week of school has come to an end and it's gotten easier to figure out how to divide my time between each course's assignments. I'm actually enjoying school this semester!

My Dell laptop FINALLY arrived yesterday and so far, I am loving it. It's pink (my favorite color), lightweight, and easy to use. Thanks mom and dad! It's my Christmas and birthday present in advance. 

That's pretty much all that's going on in my life right now...school, laptop, dogs. =)

thought I would pass this along...
