reading I'm trying to reread The Great Gatsby like everyone else. I didn't really enjoy it in high school, but maybe I'll like it more now as an adult. 

writing  a new post for Tuesday about my tattoos

listening to one of the XMen movies on FX. I have no idea what's going on I haven't paid attention at all.

thinking About how much stuff I have in the upcoming months.  Here is my travel schedule: 

May 17: Valdosta, GA

June 6-7: Washington, D.C. (tentative)

June 15: Seabrook Island

June 22: PA for a friend's wedding

June 28: Moving to D.C.

smelling Sunless tanner - this will probably be what I am smelling through the end of summer

wishing This last semester hadn't gone so fast. This year has had a lot of ups and downs, but it's been a great one and this semester has flown by. I'm really going to miss working at Oxford and the students here.  The students leaving has just super made this a reality. Summer on a college campus is so uneventful.

hoping I can just keep my faith strong for another month and trust that everything is going to work out.

wearing a Spirit Week Tshirt and my new gray and highlighter yellow running shorts with leggings under them - sorry my legs rub together like half the women in America and if I don't wear leggings my shorts ride up in the front and my legs rub together, and it's really uncomfortable.

loving How gorgeous the weather is outside right now. I'm going for a run/walk/jog after this post, hence the outfit.

wanting to have all of the answers to everything that is in the air right now

needing Focus and energy to make it through the next few weeks

feeling  rested

clicking Around on bathing suits - I'd like to get a new one this summer but don't forsee that happening.

I went out to dinner with my RAs last night. It was our end of the year hurrah! I know I keep talking about the end of the year, but I didn't imagine leaving my job at the end of this year. It's so bittersweet only working with students for 2 years before they move on to another campus. I'm so glad I got to experience this time in my life with them.

My blog is getting a make-over later this month! I'm really excited about it!

Today is blog day. I've been working on a bunch of random bloggy stuff so I won't be so absent with this being one of the busiest times of the year for me with work.  It's been a pretty uneventful week but full of banquets and preparations for the end of the year.  I'm glad I'm back to linking-up and I'll actually remember to connect to the link up this time, unlike Friday when I forgot!! I hate that! I've been doing that a lot lately, forgetting random things. It drives me nuts!

reading umm not really reading anything unless you count recipes!

writing  tons of end of the year move out of your room emails

listening to Iron Man on in the background. Who else is excited for Iron Man 3 this weekend??

thinking Today was the perfect day to sit around in cozy clothes and listen to the rain outside

smelling The best chocolate chip cookie dough ever. 

wishing I could make the fun parts of the last weeks of the semester go slow so I can cherish the good times with these students I won't get to interact with next year but that I could fast forward through all the stupid decisions that occur at the end of the year and all of the move out drama. 

hoping  the package for work I ordered that was SUPPOSED to arrive Friday gets here at a reasonable time tomorrow. I have adjustments to make to what arrives and I need it for Tuesday!!!

wearing A school Tshirt, striped gray and blue sleep pants and fuzzy blue socks. Even when I'm sitting around, I have to color coordinate

loving BRIGHT toe nail polish and nude finger nails. I would post a picture but I still have color all over myself from the campus' HSA Holi event on Friday.  See, this is what I looked like.  It's still stained in certain places on my body, like my nail beds. 

wanting to eat all of the cookie dough in the fridge

needing a major professional massage at the end of this year

feeling curious about what it will be like when Steve and I live together again. Now I'm used to being able to watch what I want all day and he's used to being able to play XBox whenever he wants. Will we be able to negotiate and fall into a pattern again?

clicking on to websites looking for Mother's Day gifts. Of course, I wait until almost the last minute. typical me!

Additionally I have not showered at ALL today and was fine until about now and I'm starting to feel kind of gross.  I really hate that I have to shower every day or I feel disgusting. I'm sorry mother nature!

reading Batman origins. Yep, I'm a nerd. I've been reading all the background stories of the characters. FYI it is really confusing and complicated. I bought Steve Batman: Year One for his birthday, and I think I'm going to borrow it after.

writing  this post and thinking of others I may start for the week. 

listening to the washer and dryer running while watching War of the Worlds on TNT. I bought a ticket to see it in high school, but never saw it.  We went to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm a deviant and we went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but it was sold out, so we bought tickets to see War of the Worlds instead. We took someone's seats. I'm just now watching it.

thinking Less than a week until Steve visits and I cannot wait!!

smelling The hair dye I used today. It actually smells good! It's that new Garnier oil stuff.

wishing I could glimpse into the future.

hoping  I'll get it together this week and stop eating everything in sight and get back to running tomorrow.

wearing A shirt I got from Goodwill in college and gray/blue striped sleep pants.

loving the new green jeans and nude flats I got this week. I'll post an outfit picture next week!

wanting my Old Navy gift cards to get here so I can get some more dresses!

needing a major hug from Steve

feeling overwhelmed with my job search. Sorry I keep talking about it. I have a lot of friends who are sending me anything they can to help, but I feel totally lost in the job market and don't know what to do. I'm struggling if I should start searching outside my field, then I think of the 2 years I took getting my Master's and how much I love it, and can't imagine moving out of the field.

clicking on to the CocoPPa app everyone's been talking about and For Chic Sake making backgrounds for my iPad and iPhone.

This weekend was pretty chill.  I went to lunch yesterday with a friend, at a BBQ place we'd never been to before.  I don't know why I got to mayonaise based salads, but that coleslaw was delicious. 

Then I went to Michael's to look for items for a craft project and went shopping to buy my brother a birthday present for his 13th birthday. I also watched She's the Man today for the one millionth time.  Channing Tatum is so delicious.  I wrote most of this earlier. Right now I'm actually watching the Mad Men premiere. I love it. God, I wish I looked like Christina Hendricks.  I love her character, Joan.  She is so realistic about the time she lives in but so strong at the same time. 

I hope you all enjoyed your Sunday. I cant believe it's back to work tomorrow.  It may be Monday but it is one day closer to Saturday, when Steve arrives!

reading Everyone's fun statuses on what they're doing for Easter! Love seeing my friend's children dressed up in their Easter best!

writing  grocery lists, including the stuff I forgot today

listening to The Book of Mormon for the 1,000,000th time. I can't wait to see it this summer

thinking This is going to be the longest two weeks ever. Steve is coming to visit April 13th and I can't wait

smelling A freshly cleaned bathroom and kitchen and homemade tomato sauce cooking on the stove

wishing I would find a job in near Steve soon

hoping  I can get back to a normal schedule soon and get back to running this week. Working from 12am to 4am along with regular hours is really messing up my routine

wearing Leggings, socks, my Mainstreet shirt (my college ACappella group), and a purple pull over

loving That tonight is the season finale of The Walking Dead. I hate that it's over but Mad Men starts next week, so I'm okay

wanting to go shopping for some new spring dresses

needing to clean my bedroom but after all the cleaning I've done today, the thought is exhausting

feeling lonely, tired, and a little bored

clicking on to some recipe inspirations for this week - I've gotten into a cooking slump lately

I'm spending Easter alone this year, which is not a super big deal, except I did consider buying a huge chocolate bunny and devouring it on my own.  I refrained. That was just going to be too sad and put me in the Liz Lemon boat where she buys a wedding dress out of loneliness.  You can tell I've been watching a lot of 30 Rock lately. 

 

I have been buying frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches - you know the ones with fewer than 300 calories, but for this and next week I decided to make my own with multigrain english muffins and turkey bacon then freeze them. I'll know how they turned out later this week. Making the eggs the right size was a challenge. I guess I should invest in an egg ring. 

Hope you have a great Easter if you celebrate it, and if not a great weekend, nonetheless.
