colored britches and good deeds

 I honestly do not care if you are all, "it's 2012, white after labor day is fine"....it's one of them rules that my grandma instilled in me when i was a wee little cari. White below the belt after labor day just aint gonna happen! so i have two pairs of white jeans and decided to dye one of them. Other than the fact that my bathtub looks like a murder scene, they turned out fantastically!

a lovely roll-tide red. #obnoxiousbamafan

transition,

so in law school, everyone warns you that you have to take one day to just relax. i am sure that everyone has figured out that my social inclinations are far more pertinent than my academic. it's probably time to buckle down, but... Elle had a social life in Legally Blonde kind of...right? and i mean Charlotte School of Law is only one step down from Harvard so...( i am sure there will be hundreds of Legally Blonde references in this blog)

i am so, so blessed to have found such a fun group of girls to relax with! we literally just don't. stop. laughing. 

i am finally starting to settle in and figure out my way around!! (that is loose terminology, i still get lost in Johnson City)

exactly. 

Property is my least favorite class.

THE END.

go forth and conquer my friends,

90's baby

SORRY i had a temporary mishap with uh...forgetting my password....true story....dumb.....so 4:30 a.m. is a totally brilliant time to figure it out and write a quick blog!!

i honestly feel like with school (and all of the other random things i choose to fill my time with) i have not had time to do ANYTHING. i have always glorified the term "busy" but now that i am actually decently "busy" what i would give to be "bored"... last weekend i zipped over to knoxville on friday afternoon for my brother's wedding and had a fantastic weekend. however, i just feel like ever since then i am a tiny little minnow trying to swim up the amazon river because i just have not had TIME to catch up on work!! wah wah,  i don't know.

here is the happy couple! and me and our mum of course.

i am so excited to have a sister in law now, though! finally, a cool sister.... JUST KIDDING SHELLEY I LOVE YOU. speaking of shelley, she instagrammed this picture last week...take note of the creepy man in the background...

just kidding. he isn't creepy. he just looks creepy. that's our daddy. 

after i got my face painted like that i actually wandered off because i decided that i was a fairy child and that i was no longer cari. my parents were quite used to me wandering off though, so i am sure i did not make it too far. 

anyways, i will leave you with this because i have been playing nineties music nonstop for like, two weeks now. because who is a blogger without a youtube channel? 

much love

Cari 

life as a local...

how long does it take for me to live somewhere before I am a local? I should probably learn my own zip code first, right? I am only kidding.

So we hit up Food Truck Friday in Southend last night. Some of the local cuisine stock trucks, circle up, and feed the locals! People were out in lawn chairs and picnic tables...It may sound lame, but it was really neat. and it apparently happens every friday!

we were not intelligent enough to bring lawn chairs however, so we sat on this potted plant. First meal sitting on a plant...There is a first for everything, I reckon. 

it was not easy deciding on which one to eat from! if there is ONE word in the English language to describe me, I strongly believe many of my closest friends would choose: INDECISIVE. So trying to decide which food truck to eat from! yikes... I had bbq chicken tacos from Herban Legend. I did decide pretty quickly that we would round out dinner here:

yep. It happened. Whatever. 

Twas quite the grubfest. We then participated in an "art gallery crawl" where we ended up in various art galleries. One was in a dentist's office, no lie. 

In other news, I am cutting out meat for the rest of the month! Wish me luck. I am really into the green smoothies. I bought a single serve blender which brings my state-of-the-art drink makers to a grand total of THREE. First world, my friends. 

I finally broke down and WATCHED the Hunger Games, (I refused to read it for a long time because my super cool undergrad Yale professor discouraged us higher level English majors from reading out of the mainstream. Hipster probs) and it was fantastic. I hate to love it. 

Eat green things today.

i aint ever been nothin but a winner...

Well. The Democrats have shut down Charlotte, so we are out of school for the next week! we had the spring break jitters for the last few days...

So i drove on back to the lovely Johnson City. Glad to be here but REALLY REALLY wishing i was in Tuscaloosa today, tailgating. I am aware the game is not in Tuscaloosa, but even during away games, the city just has its own hype.

Can't even handle it.

Transition: i learned last night that i absolutely cannot drink as much as i could in college.

Off to study with the soft purr of GameDay in the background. :) :) :) oooh the glamorous life of a law student.

ROLL TIDE AND CONQUER
