So here is the deal y'all. I so intended on taking lots of pictures while in Oxford but a dreadful visit from you know who hit. And the kicker is it was during my test. I felt like a bunch of tiny small humans were beating my stomach up. For all my friends that know me in real life, I was thinking and wanting to say aloud "ouch my tilted uterus"{said more like oooouch. my tiiiiiiiilted uuuuuuuterusssss}... Not the most pleasant thing to happen while you need to concentrate on a very important exam. So after the test, I went to lunch at Bottletree, then crash landed in my bed where I ate junk and passed the heck on out. I should of known she was about to hit ... a few days before I started crying over a rap song. I was in my car, completely moved by a rap song to the point of tears. Not my proudest PMS moment, but certainly not my worst. Anyway, the pictures aren't great. I really wanted everyone to look at Oxford and think "what an adorable little town, I want to visit" ... but you may just think its filled with donkeys and random fields with tubs. My apologies.
*In consolation, here's a post I did a while back on where I spent my grad school years.*

*in between oxford & memphis - a field filled with bath tubs?? something about it is so distinctly southern*
*went to see my cute little sister dance at derby days ... a tradition that makes my undergrad experience feel kinda boring (: *
Now I'm back home with Lucille, my guard dog I stole from my parents.
She's keeping me company these days (:
Today marks one month until JB & I reunite in Switzerland!
Also marks the first time I slept past 10 in a very.very.long time.
Hooray!
xoxoxo
Hope you all have as restful of a Sunday as I am
....
what a dirty b*tch.
ReplyDeletenot the dog.
the lady time.
what? it's true.
oh and i am obsessed with the south.
ReplyDeletei had to counteract my inappropriate comment with another less inappropriate one.
to keep things light.
no pun intended.
you PMS moment had me laughing sooo hard because something similar happened right before the dreaded visitor arrived this last time. I cried, actually i bawled, while watching a spanish soap opera ... DEFINITELY my lowest moment. haha
ReplyDeleteThese pics are still gorgeous. Hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeletexo,
Sarah
the bathtubs....so, so southern.
ReplyDeleteand i'm loving the rap song anecdote.
the tubs are spectacular. i'd love to see them all full of bubbles - sounds like a great college prank ;-)
ReplyDeleteI definitely feel your pain- I get horrid cramps and have to take 2 prescription pills and 2 regular pills just to survive! My worst moment? Probably getting angry at my boyfriend for quitting a game of Words with Friends because he was losing (& we were sitting beside each other), not puttig an empty pop can away& one other thing. I remember there were 3 things, each one more ridiculous than the next and we ended up laughing over my stupidness for the night haha
ReplyDeleteGeorge would like to formally ask Lucille on a date..is she single? He has a nice evening planned for them :)
ReplyDeleteI have a tilted uterus too. Friends.
ReplyDeleteThese pics make me really want to visit the south.
I went home a couple weekends ago and was graced with my beautiful time of the month during my sister's wedding shower! I was in complete misery over my cramps when my sister decided it was the appropriate time to remind me that some people don't even GET cramps. Not only was I in immense amounts of pain, but then I was cursing the lucky people who manage to breeze by, cramp free!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your pictures are beautiful anyway. There's nothing quite like the south to cure anything...even cramps. xo

i often think the same exact thing when mother nature brings the midget to stomp upon my innings and chew on what feels like my lower intestinal region. You are in good company girl. And the pictures are lovely. THANK you for sharing and I pray your exam turned out great.
ReplyDelete♥cheche
My great-grandmother had a bathtub sitting out on her side porch.
ReplyDeleteWhat? That's totally normal.
Also. I may or may not have cried once when I was out of coca-cola. It was just really good, ok?
I happen to love donkeys and giant tubs, so this makes me want to visit Oxford all the more :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I just love the photography on this site. You have a gift! And your guard dog is the cutest :).
ReplyDeletexo Marcie
Awh you poor thing! I've had days like those so I feel your pain. Oh and I've definitely been known to cry at the most absurd things due to PMS :)
ReplyDeleteOxford really looks like such a lovely place. The pictures are gorgeous!
Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday, sweetie! xoxo
Ugh, I think you summed up our little friend quite well. I know she is here to visit when I start dropping everything and tripping over my own feet...as well as cry to rap songs...or when someone gets kicked off of American Idol:)
ReplyDeleteAwww, you poor poor thing. I hate that time. I distinctly remember my lady friend hitting me one time during the middle of a nursing school test. YIKES!!
ReplyDeleteYour photos look amazing regardless!
ReplyDeleteSorry about "Aunt Flow." She made me quite moody the other day as well, crying over food. yeah.. got to love the hormones lol
I wonder if guys get anything similar?
It seems like I am always PMSing right before huge important test too (like this week for example)
ReplyDeleteI stilled loved the pictures anyway! And Lucille is the cutest dog ever!!! I love him so much in that picture!
xoxo

ReplyDeleteLove these photos though, you still captured beautiful beautiful moments and totally makes me want to visit! xx
p.s seriously cannot wait to eat nonstop when we blate the musketeer style xx
Ack, your Boston is the cutest! My favorite breed. And I know what you mean: I went to a tiny college in Florida. Our traditions are less...exciting that larger universities! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I just started following you on Twitter, but I'm private so you wouldn't see a reply. I have a link for a Russian tourist visa if you still need it! :)
pretty photos and yay for countdowns... it'll go fast, you're set!
ReplyDeleteI think you did our sweet little town justice with these photos! The only thing missing is one of Bottletree Bakery, I went for the first time this weekend and loved it! Glad to hear you had a good weekend aside from the lady time blues. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous! I love the south!
ReplyDeletehahah crying at a rap song can't say i haven't been there.
ReplyDeleteI dare say you perfectly captured the South in these pretty pics. :)
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better, I threw up in front of my professor because of cramps a good three inches from his shoes on the first day of class. Cheers to being a woman!
ReplyDeleteI still really like the pictures and I believe you that it is a small cute town!! :)
ReplyDeleteDid your test went well? Hope you feel better now... :)
xox
Looks like we will be arriving in Europe around the same time!
ReplyDeleteI hate feeling all emotional and weepy during my 'time of the month'! Last time, I was so miserable, and I cried about so many dumb things.
love me some ole miss rebels!!! hooray for being done with your test and seeing jbster in only uno month!!! :) :) happy day!
ReplyDeleteHaha a rap son?! That is so funny! I think I've cried over commercials before =)
