Petite Panoply

This past spring break I spent most of my time hanging at home. Hooray for cheap spring breaks! We did a lot of shopping and even went into Atlanta one of the days. Plus we celebrated Matt's birthday and St. Patrick's Day. It was a pretty nice break. Here are a few pictures from three weeks ago! We enjoyed delicious Irish coffees and cake on Matt's birthday. I was gazing at myself in an Ikea mirror. Specifically my butt in these pants. Good times. And a wonderful St. Patrick's Day sister picture. I'm happy to be back in Georgia after the Spokane trip. I'm completely exhausted and am trying to catch up on school crap. I hope I can get back on a normal sleep schedule soon! I'll share some pictures from the trip eventually when I have time to go through and edit them. There are a bunch of great scenery pictures, but hardly any of me because nobody can figure out how to take an in-focus picture with my camera. Even if I explain...

Happy Monday everyone and happy winter break to me! Everyone is making Christmas wishlists, so I had to jump on the bandwagon. Oddly, mine is not filled with clothes this year. Though I wouldn't be unhappy with more clothes... Anyway, here it is. 1. A Burr Coffee Grinder  (like this Cuisinart burr grinder that's on sale)- because I've been enjoying making French presses lately and the more uniform grind would be better for that. 2. Urban Decay Double Ended 24/7 Eye Pencil 3. An External Flash  - because sometimes you have to use flash and the on-board one just is not good enough. (Matt bought me this compact Sunpak flash , but I haven't opened it yet!) 4. Basic Flat Black Boots  (like these boots from Urban Outfitters ) 5. Scarves (like this pretty yellow Cider House Infinity Scarf )- particularly ones in solid colors or leopard print that aren't too warm because it doesn't get that cold here. 6. The Jo Totes Gracie Bag in Buttersc...

It's been rainy and sort of glum outside because of the hurricane rolling in. I don't mind as long as I have coffee, tea, and don't have to go outside. I appreciate that it cools things down a tiny bit too. These past couple days have been filled with a rainy grocery trip, cooking delicious soup, and a visit from Mom. I can't complain about that, but I will complain about the hours of reading I've already done for my Friday class. Booo. I'm trying to cram in all the stuff I need to do tonight so I can meet up with some old friends tomorrow evening. I'm not sure it'll work, but I'll try! The beginnings of soup: Boyfriend doing fancy engineering stuff while I cook dinner: Bought some Jittery Joe's coffee. Micro roasted and local. Yum: And that's all!

A boring day in my life, but a day nonetheless. I thought I'd try a new type of post. I needed a bit of distraction today since I had so much school crap to do. But seriously, this day was boring. Enjoy! Noon: woke up, did some exciting dishes, waited for the coffee to brew. After dishes: coffee time. 1:45: Getting down to business. Reading academic articles at the kitchen table. 7:00: Tired of sitting on a wooden chair. Move to couch to read more crap. 8:20: Reading is done. Time for leftover white chili and red cream soda (the red makes it healthier, right?). 9:00: Watching The Dead Zone. 10:00: Chocolate time! Immediately after chocolate time: I hung up my new Uga poster. He's so cute. Now: I'm updating the blog and then I'll get back to school work. Sundays are becoming the bane of my existence, but I try to make them better with delicious treats and occasional TV breaks.  Happy Sunday!
