Hello friends. I missed y’all after taking a couple day
unexpectedly off last week. I am always bummed when I don’t have blog posts live
since I feel like I miss the opportunity to connect with you. My blog is such
an enjoyable outlet for me that it’s a bummer to have to put it on the back
burner. With blog posts on the back-burner Instagram posts also went to the
back burner. I am happy to report that this past weekend I did a much better
job of planning ahead in order to give myself more opportunities to connect
with y’all this week. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for 5 new blog posts
(finally) this week and lots of instagrams.
With the overwhelm that I felt last week it seemed as though
I was constantly playing catch up. It’s a bummer to begin the week feeling
behind and come class Monday night with more assignments thrown at us I was
sinking. Fortunately, I powered through and had those things complete by this
Saturday so I was able to take some time to relax and avoid this feeling to
kick off another work week. Last week really seemed to drag on, and it felt
like the longest week we’ve had in a while. I had class on Tuesday night as well
and my usual meetings on Wednesday, so Thursday was the first normal afternoon
in a while. I’m hoping that my class is on the verge of a behavior breakthrough
since that remained a challenge in the classroom again this week.
Right now I’m doing my best to avoid getting sick. I've had
kids in and out of the classroom with the flu and other ailments so Dayquil and
Lysol have quickly become my best friends. I am also using this as an excuse to
get a little extra sleep at night!
Aside from the work week I was so thankful once 3:00 on
Friday afternoon hit. Despite being exhausted, I was able to get some blog
photos done with my roommate before we ordered pizza (happy belated National
Pizza Day) and grabbed ice cream to feel more tied to the Opening Ceremony of
the Winter Olympics. After our delicious dinner, being the party animals we
are, we both fell asleep on the couch around 9:00.
I woke up on Saturday morning (after eventually moving to my
bed) and realized that I had gotten eleven hours of sleep. Ellison and I went
to the brunch hosted by our apartment complex before working some in the morning.
I went to lunch at Willy Taco with a friend before heading to Starbucks to
knock out more work. I tried to get really ahead this past weekend so that this
weekend I could enjoy a bit of a break since I’m heading out of town on
Wednesday. In the afternoon, I came back to the apartment and Ellison and I got
caught up again with how to Get Away With Murder. After eating leftovers and
watching the two episodes we had missed we watched Home Again. The rainy
weather had us avoiding leaving the apartment so we went to bed early again
that night.
Sunday I woke up to even heavier rain. I decided it was the
perfect excuse to drink coffee and work in bed. I was able to go to Target and
get things for our class Valentine’s Day party when the rain let up a bit.
Around 1:30 Sophia and I met at Caviar and Bananas because misery loves company
and doing work together makes everything so much better. I talked to my parents
on the drive back to my apartment and eventually showered and made dinner
before posting up on the couch with my laptop to watch the Olympics and finish
things up. I folded laundry before getting in bed to read before calling it a
day.
Currently…
Reading: 52 Cups of Coffee
Watching: Home Again
On Saturday night, Ellison and I decided to watch Reese
Witherspoon’s newest movie. We had heard mixes reviews about it, but we both
really enjoyed it. It’s definitely not some huge award winner but was
enjoyable.
Loving: Go Ginza
If I could only wear one nail polish shade for the rest of
my life it would be Essie’s Fiji. Fortunately, that’s not the case and I have the
ability to mix things up. Between my typical pink I’ve been wearing Essie’s go
Ginza. It’s a pastel purple that is probably better suited for spring but I’m
happily wearing it now.
Wearing: Rain Boots
It has rained the past two weekends here so my short Hunter
rain boots have been my go-to. If it’s going to be cold and rain I’d much
rather it snow. I’m ready for some better weather soon.
Wanting: Pink Slip On Mules
Ever since seeing this pair on Tuckernuck’s site I’ve been
convincing myself that I need a pair. While this option is much brighter than I’d
typically choose when picking a shoe, I can’t help but love it. Imagine how
much fun it would be to put them on in the morning. If you’re looking for a subtler
pair with a lower price tag I also really like these!
