Triple Tuesday Tangent

Happy Tuesday!! I usually don't care for Tuesday because it is my longest day; full of teaching, staff meeting, and work. Not today though!! I didn't have to work tonight! It's the little things that get me through :)

So I'm taking a cue from Janae @ Hungry Runner Girl and doing Triple Tuesday Tangent!!

First, look at how adorable my sister and I were when we were little! I love looking through old pictures.
Notice all the pink, yep my wardrobe is still like that. Including the footie pjs and foam curlers!

I LOVE chocolate but lately have been craving salt. Enter this amazing drink. Seriously so good and easy to make!!



Best thing about not having to work tonight? I get to watch these shows on actual t.v. when they air!!
New girl is just about over which means I have to get ready for the day tomorrow and go to bed... I've become such an old lady!!

Did you or do you currently put foam rollers in your hair?
-Yes, I love how they make my hair look and they're so easy to do!!

Best hot drink in the fall?
- Usually it's something with pumpkin but since it's getting colder and I'm ready for Christmas I'm switching over to hot chocolate and eggnog coffee.

Do you watch Glee or The New Girl?
- I'm obsessed with The New Girl, I love all the characters and this possible romance with Jess and Nick is Dyn-O-Mite :)

New November

Wow, I can't believe it's November already!! Where on earth does the time go? Between teaching, taking masters classes, working 3+ jobs and still finding time for friends and family; my blog has gone downhill. For that I am sorry I'm not sorry ;)

For November I want to become brand new. Here are my goals:

I will create and document new memories of my family, friends, and students.

I will workout at least 4 days a week and start doing the C25K program again.

I will be organized to a T, and plan everything.

I will track my spending and stop freaking out about my lack of money.

I will blog at least 4 times a week.

Now that you know my goals I'm reaching out to you to help me keep them. Leave comments, call, facebook, twitter...whatever and ask how I'm doing. I will do the same for you :)

Teach, Eat, Sleep

Yep, if you read my title as Teach, Eat, Sleep you read it right. That is all my life is now! Well... add in some work too... a girl's gotta make some money :)

Thankfully I'm only working for a few hours tonight and it's babysitting for one of my favorite girls :)

Tomorrow (Sunday) I get to go to Art Prize with my Momma and enjoy some sunshine and good wine! I'll make sure to post with lots of pictures.

Until then check out my other blog that has all the fun stories from my students!! Click HERE

Stress, Stress, Oh How I Hate Thee!

Today was a bit stressful. I was tired. I was cranky and didn't want it to be Monday. Needless to say by the time school ended at 3:15, I was out the door and on my way home.

1st thing, workout time! I did the elliptical because I needed to go to my mindless place, you know that place right? Where you do a constant motion and don't have to think? Yep I went there and didn't stop for 45 min!


Then I got into my comfy clothes (yoga pants, ovesized fuzzy sweatshirt) and took a marvelous 15 min nap :)


I had to work tonight at the library so I quickly packed my favorite to go dinner. A stuffed sandwich and a yogurt mess (Chobani vanilla, granola, nutella, and peanut butter). This meal is packed with protein and fiber and is so filling!


Now I'm going to spend the rest of my work night watching these two handsome men! Seriously I think numbers has the perfect amount of cuteness, math, mystery, and general amazingness!

What is your favorite comforting routine?

Change. Part 2.

If you've read my blog before you'll know I've talked about change, But here's the gist, I HATE Change! However, I know it's necessary and as of lately it's been on the forefront of my mind. Being who I am I Googled the word "change" and this little poem popped up and it describes my thoughts perfectly! Whoo hoo for Google and this awesome writer!

A Poem About Change: Maybe it's me Heart racing

Mind pacing

So many changes in motion

New roads that are now open

Which way to turn?

Which way to go?

No answers easily seen

I must carve my own path of green

Struggling to hold on

Trying to hold on

Trying to keep the things I need

Struggling to let go

Giving back the ties that bind me

Who will I be?

How will I know?

Who is that woman at the end of the road?

Maybe, just maybe, it's me.

*****************************************************************************

As of lately I've decided to make some changes and see where they lead me. I'm no longer living for anyone else, only me. I've cut loose some friends and gained some new ones. I've realized that I need to be stronger in my decisions and know that I'm doing what is right for me.

In regards to this blog I'm not going to focus on health and fitness like I originally planned. I'll still mention it and any good recipes I make or come up with but I want to focus on my life. I'm a student teacher, taking graduate classes on Fridays, figuring out family, friends, and love. I'm balancing the life of a college student, working for free, holding down 2 other jobs, and trying to grow up and make some life long decisions. This blog is going to reflect that in so many ways and I'm going to be completely honest (according to my Mother, too honest!)

I hope you'll keep reading because I like to think I'm at least a little interesting ;)

P.S

Right now my days are being consumed by little munchkins called my students. I have TONS of teaching stories so if you want to read those visit my other blog here. I swear it'll be a good time!
