It's Ok Thursday

Hi All! I can't believe it's Thursday already! This week has flown by for me... which is always good! I'm loving linking up with Amber and Neely for "It's Ok" Thursdays and here's another edition!

It's Ok that it is 8:57 a.m and I am mad that the financial aid office phone is busy.

It's Ok that I'm mad that I haven't gotten my financial aid... I really want to take my classes!

It's Ok that I have done NO packing for my Big Move (I still have 69 days)

It's Ok that when I receive a comment on my blog or a new follower that I get 100x more happy :)

It's Ok that I have been lusting after Neely's new blog design and want to win her giveaway so I tweet,  blog, fb like and whatnot to win! (P.S. You should enter too) 

It's Ok that I will spend 3 1/2 hours with my sister while she does my highlights, cut, and eye brow waxing (the price of beauty I guess)

It's Ok that I love to online shop and feel rotten that I haven't bought a single thing this week

It's Ok that I haven't bought anything... I'm saving and doing good!

It's Ok that I feel lonely and can't wait to move to Las Vegas to be close to Christine.

It's Ok that I am mad at my step-cousin for not inviting me to her shower, her wedding, but my family still wants me to meet up with them. 

It's Ok that I am addicted to watching re-runs of Bones, Secret Life, and Make It or Break It

Lastly, it's Ok that I love Pinterest, Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader and Instagram and constantly check them hoping for something new :)

Miscellany Monday

Why hello! I'm glad you could take time to read my blog on this Monday evening. I'm linking up with Carissa for Miscellany Monday and you should too!!

1) Lately I have been cooking up a storm with Pinterest ideas! I'm loving trying all the new ideas and have yet to find one I don't like!

 

2) I miss my students. A lot! But I'm also enjoying not having the stress of lesson plans, professor visits, and graduate class work. 

3) Today at work I organized my google reader, repinned my Pinterest  pins to make more sense, and made lists in Twitter- I like being organized.

4) I keep seeing updates about the Blend Retreat and it looks like so much fun! Maybe one day I will go...

5) I'm currently reading Wicked by Gregory Maguire but I'm needing some more book recommendations... anyone have some? Please?!

Link up and tell me about your Miscellany Monday :)

 

 

 

Weekend Happenings

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! I can't believe the weekend is over already! This weekend was filled with many people and happenings so let's begin!

There was a wicked thunderstorm! It started when I got to the grocery store and when I got out it was still going! Loading my car and unpacking the groceries wasn't the best...

I don't see many rainbows but this one was so clear after the storm and right outside my patio! 

When I was grocery shopping I saw that spaghetti squash was on sale for $.99/pound. I've heard so much about it I decided to give it a try. I used Tina's recipe to cook it and topped it with Jenni-O ground turkey and marinara sauce. I also steamed some zucchini with garlic and made crescent rolls to go with. So delicious!!

Saturday was filled with cleaning and then celebrating Cinco De Mayo with this friend! Kristin and her boyfriend Josh came over for chips & guac, salsa, and good conversation.

And oh yea... this beauty! I used Mama Laughin's recipe except I didn't use crescent rolls I put a layer of baked doritos at the bottom instead. It tasted just like my Mom's except healthier :) 

Later that night I babysat this cutie and her 2 brothers! She is my ray of sunshine and I just love her so much :)

Sunday morning was spent at church and then I came home and took a glorious nap! I had to work tonight at the library so it was pretty uneventful.

How was your weekend? 

"It's Ok" Thursday!

Today I'm trying something new... I'm linking up with Amber and Neely for "It's O.K" Thursday. 

 

It's OK

That I'm using a free trial of MARS EDIT blogging software for the 3rd time by using different emails.

That I'm counting down the days till I leave for Vegas even though I'll miss my family and friends

I didn't do anything productive at work yesterday

I didn't do anything productive last night because I went to track meets, soccer games, and dinner w/family

That I was away from blogging for so long

To refresh my email every 30 seconds when waiting for a reply, even though I know it won't bring it faster

To be in debt with student loans 

To be awful at saving money to pay off said loans

To be mad at people and not want to be around them

To enjoy ice cream at 10 p.m and not feel guilty about it

To watch the Biggest Loser finale and be mad at Jeremy for winning...seriously I really wanted Kim to win!

To want (and CAN fit into) these shoes even though they are kid's... They are $9!

That I'm extra excited to teach Sunday school this weekend because I get a free dinner Saturday night and free breakfast on Sunday.

That I'm addicted to legal shows on Netflix, and current T.V on Hulu

That I like teenage drama shows like Secret Life of the American Teenager, Make It or Break It and Hart of Dixie

That Pinterest and Twitter are constantly up on my computer and phone

Triple Tuesday Tangent: Back and Better Than Ever

1) Right now I have this song stuck in my head, it's my new theme song.
I feel like I'm finally back to normal. The last month of student teaching, classes, work, and social events kicked my butt! After conquering all that I definitely feel like Rocky :)


2) I am officially done with taking MSU classes at MSU! No more working for free. No more 9am-6pm Friday classes. No more having to report to MSU for EVERY LITTLE THING! This is a HUGE accomplishment and I'm very proud to say the least. I got to celebrate with my friends, teachers, and family :) Now onto finishing my master's!!

    (Kristin, Me, and the teachers I worked with; Emily, Tina, and Jennifer)

        (Nikki, Lizzie, and Me)

       (Mom, Me, & Step-Dad)

3) In case you missed my Twitter, or Facebook, or don't follow me (which you should) I GOT A JOB! Yep I'll be sharing the story in a later post but it's in Las Vegas, Nevada and I couldn't be more excited! Quest Academy, Here I Come!

So needless to say some pretty awesome things have been going on in my life and I can't wait to share more details... all in due time :)

HAPPY TUESDAY!
