BROOKE ANTHONY

It’s time to get serious. I’ve decided on the Spring Break spot. Was it ever really a question? Europe it is. Amsterdam is a go. Maybe a little Berlin? I don’t know if I’m feeling that dirty. Extremely excited- and it’s like three months away!

Tis the season to be all excited and out of control, it’s true. Like i’ve said before- i’m not too thrilled with the whole holiday concept but i’ll go with it for now. I thought for a good ten minutes today about what I wanted for Christmas, and honestly I couldn’t think of anything I really wanted. But I did my first good holiday deed  yesterday, by donating some money to the bell ringer. Well he wasn’t ringin’ the bell- he was standing there texting. He said “god bless” and I said “god bless your little soul”,- I’m sure that sounded pretty sarcastic but take it for what it is.

So, Friday 6:45 AM my phone rings. It’s my mom. En route to pick me up (I was unaware of this) in the mood to do something I totally expected from her. 8 AM we are pulling into Woodbury Commons with her empty SUV. “I’ve been up since 4 am- I just couldn’t sleep” (have I mentioned my mother lives for shopping?) I told her it’s because the stores were open all night and she just couldn’t fathom the merchandise available to her for purchase and her not being willing to look. It wasn’t too bad- but I realized her “condition” could be much worse when two Indian guys from Jersey got talking to me in line and they told me how they had been at the commons since 10:00 pm the previous night. We talked to them at 10 am. The shopping was just extremely time consuming. 5 stores in 5 hours. By the 4th hour I was spent and ready to move on with my life. But the sales were good- I can’t deny that.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

xox,

Love Love.

p.s.- I hate Pearl Jam.

I’m sitting in my loft right now, and I must say I’ve really let this thing go. It’s a freakin’ mess. Anyway-

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Holy Canolis and Raviolis. I really wanted to do something totally crazy this year like go to a mall at 2 am but I have finally came to the conclusion that- that is a dumb idea so I’m going to stay home and sleep. As for tonight, I don’t know if i’m even going out. I know half the world is going to Mahoneys- and that is no longer my style. I controlled myself last year well- but the year before- not so much. My mothers reflection on the notorious “Thanksgiving eve gala”: “You ruined Thanksgiving!” no mom- I didn’t ruin Thanksgiving, Jameson and Red Bull did. With that said- I have NOT touched or looked at Jameson since, and my Red Bull consumption has been cut by nearly three quarters.

On another note, I feel like shit and this Blue Moon isn’t exactly helping. My boyfriend just asked me if I’m happy- and I am, but this Holiday season is going to be a pretty hard one since the death of my Uncle. But life goes on- and he’s my lil luv muffin so I’m gonna try to do it up.
