Raider Reds and Bevos

Roses and thorns has changed. Not the concept; just the name.

I decided to take something that I loved each week and make it the roses component. Then, I'll pick something I'm not so fond of and it will be the thorns component. There will be a new pair of things every week.

This week, it's Raider Reds and Bevos; for those of you who live under a rock are completely and totally clueless, Raider Red is the official mascot of Texas Tech (best school ever) while Bevo is the longhorn mascot for the dreadful University of Texas.

RAIDER REDS
Raider Reds to new laptops

Raider Reds to Jolly Rancher doubles. Yumm-0

Raider Reds to having the best mom ever

Raider Reds to the Canadian Tenors (wow, they are hot) and roses to surprises straight from Celine; their expressions when they see her (she's been their idol for awhile) deserve some Raider Reds, too


Raider Reds to the official countdown, which has officially begun. NINE more school days until Spring Break. I CANNOT WAIT.

Raider Reds to talking to my dad every day for the past few days; I love that man so much :)

Raider Reds to humor


Raider Reds to the Bar Exam; and me not having to take it; and Raider Reds to my Mom passing it the first time while 8 1/2 months pregnant
Raider Reds to great music from Gloriana


Raider Reds to Apolo Ohno and his mad speed skating skills. I heart you, Apolo and I'll be so happy to see you when you get back with all your medals. Now, back to reality.

Roses to an incredible weekend ahead, filled with much less studying than last weekend

Roses to Joannie Rochette; I have no idea how she got up there and skated 48 hours after her mother died---My heart really went out to her, and I'm so glad she is still in the running for a medal
