Lazy Wednesday

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! On Wednesday morning, I woke up to this outside. It pretty much took my breath away--I didn't know it was supposed to snow and it was pretty snow, not I-have-to-drive-25 MPH-on-the-interstate-kind-of-snow. 

So I made orange rolls! Which let me tell you, pretty much OWN cinnamon rolls. I can do without cinnamon rolls but orange rolls, no sir. They are like heaven for my belly. Would it be shameful to admit I had 8? No? Okay good. 

I got to spend a few hours with my puppy dog cozying up on my bed, looking out the window, which is his favorite activity. I caught up on a favorite blog which felt so soothing and decadent.

 

I also did some knitting. Which it's silly--but I've been working on my boyfriend's scarf for nearly a year and a half. I'm the only person who can't commit-to-knit. I get so distracted.

I also worked a bit on my thesis--hurrah! It was only a couple of pages but I congratulate myself for the effort nonetheless. Only 23 more pages to go by March 5th!

The Girl Who Waited (for the semester to be over)

It's been quite awhile since I've updated and that's partly because I've been attacked by sickness! I'm still blowing my nose and such but I feel plenty better than I did last week. I've been battling work over my schedule which is stressing me out combined with the stress of my thesis/graduation/class with one of the most evil and demanding professors of all time. I know in the end it'll all work out but for the time being I feel like a big ball of crazy. 

Cheers to looking ahead! (And medicating myself with food and Dr. Who).

Honey Cough Drops & Hot Tea

Please excuse the way I look today--I feel sick! I had to work 8-12 today with a sore throat, runny nose, and killer eye pain. I tried to cure myself with honey cough drops (yuck) and hot tea. Overall it was a great day because I got to see Scott and Julie, eat cookies, read about art, and the temperature was 66 degrees! I just hope I start feeling better soon. I have no motivation to do anything.

Circadian Rhythm

Tuesday was such a great day! I couldn't wait for 3:45 so Scott and I could hang out! We ended up trying a new Japanese place called Mikato which instantly became my favorite for hibachi. They tie for sushi with Osaka which is really saying something because... nobody loves Osaka sushi more than me.

Ahh, hibachi grill. The rice, the veggies, the soup, the salad. I could eat it again right now. And also, have a slice of red velvet cake. 

Then it was home for a shower, homework, and sleep. Getting up at 7AM three times a week sure gives me an early bedtime. But I feel so lucky to work inside and sleep at night! Because that wasn't the case for two and a half years. Yay for circadian rhythms!

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Sorry about the messy hair. It got windy today.

How can you not love the bird print? And on sale! Thanks Target.

Windex Necessary

Looks like my mirror's a bit dirty... sorry. I just wanted to snap a couple quick pics after work so I could hurriedly take off my contacts, put on my PJ's, wash my face, and check my email, Facebook, etc. Does anyone else do that? Just drop your bag on the floor and start the bedtime process?

Mom and I went shopping yesterday and almost every single item we purchased was on sale. I'm still giddy with the deals I snagged. 

I have a ghastly 8-10 page paper to write tomorrow. The syllabus says to write a 5-page paper if you want a C. So I'm guessing the A-range is somewhere between 8-10. If the man wants to read a ton of pages, he's gonna get a ton of pages! Fool. 

Hope your weekends are going well!

Garden State

I love how I pretty much fade into the background wallpaper in these pictures. It reminds me of Zach Braff in Garden State. Oh, how I love that film.

Today was an overall great day despite the rain. I felt better equipped than yesterday. Rain boots, rain slicker, and my Monet 'Poppy Fields' umbrella in tow, I was ready for the mistiness. 

I have an early doctor's appointment tomorrow to finally discover what the heck is wrong with my diet (AKA why I had kidney stones). Wish me luck! I'm nervous about getting my blood taken because I pass out pretty much every time no matter how calm I am (or pretend to be) throughout the process. 

Wishing you all a happy Friday!
