It is truly unbelievable! the immaculate detail, and the color choices are just stunning, and the compositions are very well thought out!

Oh, how fun it shall be..

When i don't have to go to school any longer! Every day i find that i have to remind myself more and more about how this, right now, is the "in-between" time and my "real" life will start the second i graduate college. But, boy i'll tell you, it's not fun! I find myself wishing that i could just start my career, and not have to work at a drugstore (and escape all the rude customers!) and decorate my furture residence, get married and get some dogs. I'm sick of waiting, and i've only been in college for one semester! ONE! Ugh!

But, as my mother would be quick to remind me, there is no "in-between" time in life, what is happening now, is all you may ever get. So with that said, I am going to start appreciating the life i have, and stop fantasizing and whining about how great it will be, and focus on how great it is now, to have a good job, and have to opportunity to go to college, especially in this econmoy. I'm going to start making now count, after all it could end tomorrow!

Happy monday,

Love, Kalika

P.s The above doesn't mean i can't pick out my furute furniture, right? :) A girl can dream:)

Weird or Not?

So as some of you know, i work at a drug store, where i am forced to stare relentlessly at the tabloids when i have no work to do. The thing is, i normally wouldn't care who was with who, i mean, who's business is it anyway! But at work, im not allowed to read the magazines, so staring at them for hours, and not being able to read them, kind of sparked my curiousity. And that, my friends, is how you end up with this post:)

Weird or Not?

Totally weird, most definitely.

She's so.....ugh.

and he's so good looking!

Also

You know, i like them both, and if it so happens that all the "buzz" is true,

well, then, good for you guys, go get it Sandra!

He is SO hot:)

HEY!

So how was everyone's new year!? I hope it was safe, and amazing! Goodbye 2010 and hello 2011!!

On other news! I have, in this past year, fallen in love, hilarious, wonderful, love with a new show called, The Office! Have you ever heard of it? It's Ahh-mayyy-Zing! Soo funny! The plot of the show is well, pretty simple Michael Scott runs an office for a paper company, Dunder Mifflin. He runs 13 people, but here are the main characters: Pam, receptionist, Jim Halpurt, Salesmen (who also loves Pam), Dwight Schrute, salesman (who is an idiot but hilarious) and well, just watch the show, if you love Steve Carell, then this is a show for you:)

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make."

" Because right now, this is a job. If I advance any higher, this would be my career. And if this were my career, I'd have to throw myself in front of a train"

Dwight Schrute: "Dammit, he put my stapler in jello again!" [Points to Michael]

Dwight Schrute: "You can be a witness to this. "

Jim Halpert: [eating jello] "How do you know it was me? "

Ha!! Oh you'll just have to watch!

Happy Monday,
