I have been...

... re-hired as a Resident Assistant for the 11-12 school year.
What a weight off my shoulders!!

I'll try and have another more meaningful post up soon.

love love love

So... sorry about the lack of posting.
I guess I just haven't known what to say. Or how to say it. Or even how I'm really feeling inside.

But, enough of the depressing "Me, me, me, blah, blah, blah..." talk.

Let's talk Valentine's Day!
L and I went out to eat at drumroll please Applebees! with his family. HAHAHAHAHHA.
How romantic.
We then went to the movie theater to watch The Fighter and it was SO GOOD!
Also, thoroughly romantic. Sensing a theme here?

I, then had to run back to the residence halls and work the desk until midnight. What a drag!
But, loveey surprised me with a bear named Simon Garfunkle, cala lilies (my favorite!), and super yummy dark chocolates. He is just so sweet! AND! We agreed not to get each other anything, the little stinker. But, I suppose I did make him a card and a few random "coupons", so I cheated too.

But, it's our anniversary tomorrow guys! 2 years!
Oh man.
I literally remember the day we "met". Like, for real met. Not the first time I saw him hanging around school.
I was talking to L the other day as we were watching TV. I'm pretty sure the situation was that someone on the show we were watching was talking about loving their SO the first time they saw each other. So, I- the inquisitive and annoying type that I am, ask L if he knew he loved me the first time he saw me.

And... he said he did. It was so sweet. I am literally the luckiest gal in the land, folks!

This is what he got me for my birthday:

Not as impressive looking here as on my little fingie... But it's Tiffany & Co. !! Pretty big deal.
Also, he got me this:

which, I find hilarious. But sweet. Obvi, having a snowmobile jacket is one of the warmest things you could have and I'm always FREEZING, so he spent a lot of money to find one that looks like me. The picture just doesn't do it justice- they are so not my style, but I actually really like this one! He's a keeper friends. A KEEPER!

So, I'm going to spend these last few minutes before I'm done at the desk studying.
I'll try to be better at this blogging thing.
Pinkie Swear!

love love love!

going through a difficult time- words just aren't adequate.

"For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way. Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do... Ramble On."

So, I've just been sitting at the front desk for the past two hours listening to the William Fitzsimmons Pandora station and reading through The Kind Diet, which I've been anxiously anticipating the arrival of for several weeks.

Isn't it interesting how when something big happens you just expect everyone to know that you're going through a rough time and slow things down for you? Like, why are you speeding through a cross-walk? CAN'T YOU SEE I'M HAVING A BAD DAY?!

I'm so ridiculous. I've really been slacking on this blog and the direction I've wanted it to head. I guess I'm just still unsure of what I want to do. I know I signed up for the 30 for 30, but honestly wasn't able to photograph my picks last week. I did use just the clothing I had originally picked - but decided that blackberry and mac photobooth pictures just don't do them justice and I'm just not as good at posing like some of my faves Kendi, Tania, and Syd. How in the world do they do it without looking as awkward as I do?!

UGH!

I've just been so busy and emotional lately. What is up with that?

Maybe it's just a case of the winter blahs- but I'm over it. This pity party stops here.
(Aren't you glad you got to be a part of it, though?)

So, now that I've kinda figured out this link business, I'm gonna let you in on some of the things I've been loving lately!

Free Your Mind

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams...

Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-duuuuun!

So, I hosted a Super Bowl Party.
And it went really well!
There were supporters of both teams, which hilariously segregated themselves into different sides.
I sat in the middle!

The food ran out, commercials were watched, the plays were made, and the Packers won.

Thanks for taking part in a great evening. One of these days I'll get around to visually documenting my events. Until then, I guess you'll just have to accept my apologies and pretend.

love love love

Mind Over Matter?

Man, I am really running myself ragged.
I feel as if I'm just behind on everything- and my days will not slow down.

It's okay though, i guess i rather like having a packed full agenda. I just hope this illness I'm fighting goes away and I'm able to move on without it taking a toll on me.

So, here's a little peek into what has been going on:
- Re-Application Interview
- Class
- Work
- Programs... and lots of them!
- Relationship Ups & Downs, we know that neither of us are going anywhere, but sometimes the stress of everyday life is unfortunately taken out on the ones we know best. =[
- Resident Interactions being less than ideal as far as the variety.
- Starting a blog. And thus attempting to make posts about something interesting, but finding that everything I put in front of myself on the screen ends up boring me!
- Wanting a camera. And not knowing which one I should take a leap of faith with. Do I want a big investment fancy-pants camera? Or is that going to just be a hindrance in my wanting to take more photographs? Will it instead be an inspiration? Ahhh! Sometimes I just wish that someone else could make all my decisions for me. Is that unrealistic? (Don't answer that ha)
- Finding time to spend with my family, my friends, my godson, my residents... how do people do it?!

That's enough rambling and venting for today. I'm taking a break from the challenge. I know it's far too early to be cheating, but I'm sick. And not going anywhere. And am certainly not dressing in anything other than L's sweats, my moccasins, and a T. Niiiiiice.

Lovelovelove!

*I'll try and add another post when I'm not so out of it, but just wanted to show my little bloggie here that I am not neglecting it. *
