fridays and homecoming

i really enjoy fridays this semester. i have gotten into a friday routine that is just perfect: wake up and eat a leisurely breakfast, head to the gym, come home, shower and eat lunch then head to finance. after finance i usually run some errands (most days includes a trip to target but i resisted today!) and then back to the apartment to get ready for the weekend! today i went to anthropologie, the southern market (which was a christmas wonderland and got me into the holiday spirit!) and stopped by the local farmer's market! it was just perfect and now i am on my couch for a lazy evening before tomorrow's early kickoff!

this week has been a busy one because it is homecoming week here at UT! this year, we were paired with Phi Mu which was different than the usual fraternity-sorority pairing. still, we decided to compete in the large float competition even though we were without manly-men to help build the float and it has been such a productive week! i really think that as a sorority, if we set our mind to it, we can do it! the winner of homecoming won't be announced until tomorrow at halftime, but we have been competing in different events all week to gain points. also, our very own president is on the ballot for homecoming queen so fingers are crossed that she wins the crown! a special shoutout goes to our homecoming chair, emily, who has truly put her heart and soul into this week and it has showed! i can't imagine a more smoothly and well-run homecoming week! our lawn decoration, window decoration and float turned out amazing thanks to both chapters putting in long hours of pomping and gluing!

i know i have been MIA on recipes and shopping posts these past few weeks. the semester is coming to a close so i think all the teachers came together and decided to assign every test and homework to all be due at the same time. i promise i will try to post more recipes soon and some great product finds! until then, all i have to say is go vols and go alpha chi-phi mu homecoming!
