So, I'm watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, and I cannot help but love all of the hats (for the most part) the countries wear. Like Sweden, for example: sky blue and yellow slouchy, knit toboggans. They are so bright and happy, and the moment I saw them, I was thinking "Squee!!! I want one!" (yes, that is the exact sound I made..). I was also a big fan of the USA's kit, and then I quickly realized why I liked it so much: it was designed by Ralph Lauren, just like the past several Olympic (summer and winter) kits. The performance aspect of the ceremonies has started, and it's really quite phenomenal. Nothing like the sheer number of people as Beijing, but the simple elegance truly draws you in. UPDATE: 3-D orcas on the floor!!!!!!! Canada beats China for best Opening Ceremonies performance!!!
Over the past several months, different companies have been playing ads about the Olympics, and I can tell you my two favorites right now: Coca-Cola's world wide snowball fight and Visa having Morgan Freeman inform the world that at this moment, during the Opening Ceremonies, every country is tied in the medal count. They both make me smile a whole lot.
I want to explain how I came up with the name Pink Chair Ramblings. I'm and RA at my school, and at the end of each year, I have to go through each room on my floor and make sure they are empty. Anything left behind is donated to MIFA or GoodWill. After going through one room, I found thing pink, folding, rocking chair...thing, and I thought it was absolutely precious...and i decided to keep it. It is from this chair-thing that I write to you!
Like I told you earlier, I went to New Orleans to sing with the Rhodes Choir. I had so much fun, learned many new silly games, and got to experience a city full of excitement and joy because of the Saints (WHO DAT!!!!) I didn't get as many pictures as I had hoped because I didn't want to take my camera to the French Quarter at night, but other people got some great shots that I hope to share at some point.
I was very excited to return to a SNOW DAY at school in order to recover from my long exhausting weekend! Once I load pictures to facebook, I will link to them here.
I feel like that is enough for today. Look for a "Love" list (perhaps on Singles Awareness Day to not feel so alone? lol), a review of the Jersey Boys Tour and the Rhodes College 2010 run of The Vagina Monolouges! Have a good Weekend!

Inspiration Wednesday
"The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their Dreams." ~Eleanor Roosevelt
Ok, Mrs. Roosevelt might be one of my favorite people ever. Whenever I come across something she said, I truly feel like I can do anything. I have this statement everywhere around me: on a Christmas ornament, on my bookmark, and I'm currently working on my own design of it (which I will share soon) to put in my room.
So remember: When you feel like nothing is going right, and every plan seems to be failing, just believe, I mean truly BELIEVE, and you will reach your goal.

The Beginning
So here's the deal: I've tried multiple times to start/maintain a blog. My whole issue was I never knew what to write about. Recently, I have been following the lovely Zephyr (www.collegefashion.net) and Gala Darling (www.galadarling.com), and I have found some inspiration.
One of the things I have noticed about their is that certain days tend to have a theme, and I thought, "Hey, I can keep up with that!" And that's what I intend to do here. There are lots of things I like to talk about, but I never really had a plan in place to keep the blog organized. By creating "theme days" and having very open-ended topics, I know I will be able to keep this up.
But (there's always a "but", isn't there?) I am a full time student working 1 (potentially 2..more on that later) jobs. I realize I will not feasibly be able to post every day, so please bear with me.
Here are the potential (and probable, unless people tell me otherwise) theme days:
Music Monday
Tuesday Love
Inspirational Wednesday
Theatre Thursday
Fashion Friday
Random Saturday
Sunday Rewind
some other things might be thrown into the mix here and there (like a series of some sort), but I'll leave those to chance. I feel like this is a good start anyway. As far as the themes go, I probably won't be able to start those until Monday, seeing as I'll be out of town Thursday-Sunday. However, I'll use these next few days to introduce myself and share my adventures in the great city of New Orleans during Super Bowl weekend, seeing as that's where I'm going. Here's to hoping I survive:
