Breaking Dawn, Part 1

Can't Wait. I am not ashamed.

Prom

Prom was soooo much fun. Probably one of the best nights we have had in DC. Mitch danced the night away like a crazy person and I loved every second of it.

Mitch, me, Vanessa and Cole. We hang out with Vanessa and Cole a lot and we are so happy they are in DC with us. Vanessa and I were actually in China together in 2005!

Here is a picture of Mitch's group, the males, from his first semester. They are all FABULOUS!

Rach.

For some ridiculous reason, this is the only picture I took when Rach was here.

We were at the Raven's game it was freezing, but oh so fun!

Vote.

One of my favorite days of the year.
I voted this morning.
Have you?

Happy Election Day 2011!

Andi.

Lucky for me, Andi is here. I was lucky enough to see her on Saturday night. We ate delicious Thai food, talked politics and fell in love with DC, again. And I got to see Jill. It was a perfect way to end my Saturday.

More pictures to come from Prom. It was oh so fun!

My life.

Wish I was wearing this 80's Prom dress tonight to Mitch's PROM! Purple is my new favorite color.

1. This was part of my latest conversation with my sister-in-law:

Abby: Have you been able to cook this week?
Sarah: Not once. I am pathetic.

I seriously am pathetic, we haven't cooked since last Thursday, eight days ago. You may be wondering what we eat: cereal, milk, more cereal and sandwiches. Great diet. No wonder Mitch always want to go out out.

2. I just ate, tried to eat, a mushy apple. Probably the worst tasting thing in the world. And the worst part of my day. I haven't been to the store to buy real food in three weeks. (Costco organic milk lasts for ages!)

3. I taught dance last night for the first time since May and I loved it so much. I always love teaching. But today I can't move my back or my hips or my thighs for that matter. I think I am a little sore from pilates, ridiculous, but all the same. My body hurts.

4. Mitch and I are going to prom tonight with his school. I am so excited, who doesn't love prom? Still have no idea what I am going to wear.

5. I have always heard people say, "My life is completely out of control. I can't get organized, I never get dinner fixed. I haven't been to the store in weeks. My house is a mess." And I would wonder how on earth people actually felt like that. I have turned into this person. I have no idea when or how it happen. But this is me. My life has zero structure. The only things I get accomplished each day are: work, a little bit of spiritualness (I know this isn't a word, but it's going to have to be for the time being) and most likely exercise. Everything else in my is out of control. I am back to sleeping way less than eight hours a night. I slept for five hours a night all through college and until I moved to Minnesota. Once I got to Minnesota and slept for eight hours a night, I vowed to never sleep less than sever hours a night again! And hear I am, never sleeping eight hours a night. I can't tell you many times I hear people tell me I look tired, it makes you feel like a million bucks. (This is a joke, please laugh). We eat dinnermost nights at ten, my most usual breakfast is a bag of dry cherriors and any type of fruit I can find. I should be more productive on the metro, but I am too focused on listening to Harry Potter. I am obsessed with the books on tape. I have already listened to most of them at least three times.

All in all life is chaos. But don't be confused, good chaos. Chaos full of joy and life.

Did I mention that the Kunz family left? I already miss them and they have only been gone one day.

And to top everything off, I haven't watched my shows in weeks. Good thing next week is looking pretty open, especially since Saturday is my last day of work at J.Crew. Yes, I quit. Yes, I am sad. And yes, I had to quit so that I could have some structure in my life. Just a little would be nice.

Happy weekend to everyone. Tonight think of Mitch and me dancing at Prom. I seriously can't wait.

Happy Weekend.

Claire & Mary Katie

My nieces are the cutest.

Happy Halloween!
