tumblrs, rhinovirus hate, and magic.

hey. so i've got the only cold right now. i, like, took some zicam and it made me worse :( i sound like kathleen turner. send me vicks, fleece, soup, and more orange juice, please.

in other news, i got myself a tumblr. i rather like it.



i also have a joint tumblr with the lovely naimah. we're a lot of fun.



oh yeah, the photos link you directly to the sites, jsyk :)

om nom nom.

yesterday ben and i went to Hershey's Chocolate World.







it was like "it's a small world", meets food porn, meets a cheery, informative tour on how chocolate's made. yay! :) when they showed the chocolate in it's liquid form just dripping i was getting a little excited, not gonna lie. chocolate usually doesn't do it for me, but it did this time. omg did it ever. oh, i should mention that i'm still in full blown pms mode, sooo yeah.

once your done with the whole (literal) song and dance that is the Hershey's Chocolate world animatronic tour of awesomeness you wind up smack dab in the gift shop.



shit looked rad, but we made a bee line to the food/snack area of course. i treated the boy and myself to some hershey's frozen cocoa, and it was omg amazing. like a frozen chocolate party in my mouth. we also split a reeses brownie. everything was beyond delicious. hershey's don't mess. also, it was cute when i asked ben if we were on a date.

all the same, my stomach felt HORRIBLE later on. i guess that frozen hot cocoa is something not to be messed with? the hot chocolate gods were not amused, and neither was my belly. i was, once again, promising myself that i'd go macrobiotic from now on. ah ha ha.

but yeah, if you're ever in the south central PA area, and are feeling the symptoms of pms come to Chocolate World! i could never make a habit out of this, as i'd wind up looking like one of the animatronic cows that were carrying on about milk and chocolate. LOL.

haaayy!

guess what i'm doing next thursday?!



tyra show in nyc baby, oh yeah. lol @ all of the rules and regulations. well, not really. it just sucks for me because sneakers are just about the only shoe that i can wear, and they are not permitted according to the dress code. i'll figure it out, though. hmm...i wonder if they are going to make us take off all of our makeup, wear a bikini, write our weights on our bare bellies, all while making us face our fears. ah ha ha ha.

ETA: my trip to the tyra show is not happening after all :( too short of a notice for all parties involved, i guess. oh well...maybe next time! :) oooh f.y.i. on today's episode of the tyra show there will be a cycle 10 reunion. yay!

wanne be on top?

i can't lie. i love, and have always loved "america's next top model." i'm so sure that my boyfriend and my friends find it totally lame, but i don't care :) i used to live with a girl (hai erin!) who would ONLY watch reality tv, which kind of sucked. said girl did not watch ANTM or project runway, only shitty shows like the bachelor or whatever. reality shows about fashion, makeup, and beauty are always a good time. omg, and apparently there's going to be a makeup artistry based tv show on tlc starring napoleon perdis? hello! that hot action is right up my makeup artist wannabe alley. gosh. in the words of rachel zoe, I DIE.

but yeah, in tonight's episode of ANTM tarina tarantino is going to be making an appearance. soooo excited.

yay!

four years ago i met a very special puppy. he's the kind of dog that hugs you back, and he's just funny to watch in general. donnie's kind of like a sloth, ewok, panda bear, mogwai hybrid. sooo cute :) anyway, today is his fifth birthday so i am totally dorking out. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONNIE!!!

love your mom,

amaris












yeah. i kind of need this shirt for obvious reasons.




also, try watching this and NOT smiling. i'm kinda lame.



ha ha that song is sooooo corny, but whatever.
