So Glamorous

     It’s been almost a week since I last posted…but I don’t feel bad about it.  Mostly my days have been a mix of working (or waiting for work) and just hanging out waiting to hear about jobs.  Glamorous, I know.  In the mean time I joined the choir at church, got to spend a few days with Keith, and finally nailed down a time to meet with a potential florist.  That one is tomorrow.  I've got tons of pictures saved to show him.  Here’s hoping another thing can be crossed of the list soon!

Normally, this would be the part where I share a few pictures…but to be quite honest, my camera is in my bedroom, and I don’t feel like getting up.

Now how about a little linky love?

If I was a boy…
with Erin and Gay

1.  My name would be Logan…true story.
2.  I would keep my hair short – so short that I never had to do anything but wash it.  None of this long hair, gel, pomade, pompadour business for me.
3.  I would wear plaid every day (maybe not every. single. day. but definitely a lot).  It’s my favorite pattern on a guy.
4.  I would wear clothes that fit properly.  No sagging and no skinny jeans…it’s not that difficult, fellas.
5.  I would exercise…just to see what all the hype is about.  (FYI, girl self {i.e. me} – so not interested)
6.  I would not care about my handwriting.  Bad penmanship is more socially acceptable for a guy.
7.  I would definitely be good at sports.
8.  I would keep it classy.  Not that difficult, fellas.

Not really related to this post…except it does have a boy!

List

     This has been possibly the longest week ever!  I kept meaning to drop in and let you know how things are going for me…but sleep just kept calling my name.  Everything should be slowing down pretty soon, and I plan to be back with a vengeance.  I’ve got a ton on my mind these days, so I’m just going to make a little list for you:
     1.  I am 98% sure that I will have a job when I graduate!  I don’t want to count my chickens, but it seems like a pretty sure thing, and it has been the  highlight of the week.  Having even one halfway-concrete plan has given me such a peace!  Once I know for sure where all of this is going, it will mean that Keith and I can start to make real plans for after he graduates.
     2.  Being young does not make you invincible.  I got some crazy news about a friend this week, and I am asking all of you as my friends to lift  her up in prayer.  This is not my story to share, so I’m not going to get into tons of details, but just know that she has a pretty rough road ahead.
     3.  This is my last week of teaching at my first placement.  I have two weeks left, but my last week will mostly be observations and interviews.  I can’t believe that I’m halfway through my last semester!  This first placement has been so wonderful, and I am really going to miss my kindergarteners. 
     4.  Also, I joined Groupon today…and I already can’t control myself.  I almost bought a mattress within the first five minutes of being a member!  I’ll definitely be stalking it for more good deals.
     5.  I bought two Christmas ornaments today!  I can’t wait!

I Caught the Bug

     So you know how all summer long we’ve been seeing some of our favorite  bloggers take a step back?  Well, for me it was pretty much the exact opposite.  I kept seeing all of these “I need a break” posts (sad), but I felt this huge surge of blogging creativity and zest!  To be honest, this summer has been one of the best times for my blog and one of my most prolific as a blogger.

Until this week.

     Yep…I caught the bug.  I have been totally drained this past week, and I know that my blog is not the only one that’s taken a hit.  I’m not going to go so far as to say I’ve been having anxiety, but if you know me in real life (…so pretty much just my sister), you know that I’ve always tended toward the hysterics…usually unnecessarily.
     The past week or so I have been sleepy and cranky and just generally bleh.  In case you were wondering: it’s not working out so well! 
     That being said, I am doing to do better.  Starting right now.

No more cranky.
No more lazy.
No more not commenting on all of your sweet blogs…because I’m lazy.
No more non posting for no good reason.
No more nonsense hysterics.

     Before you say that I should blog for me and not to feel like I have to blah blah blah…I am blogging for me, and I feel like a total lame-o for not doing it.  I know in my heart that I am being absurd, and I’m promising myself first and you cuties second not to do all that.  We are coming up on one of my favorite seasons (I call it the slide into Christmas); every little thing for the next few months is going to be so great, and I can’t wait to share all of it with you!

More of the “crazy, happy smile,” less of the scrunched up nose pouty face.

If You Really Knew Me

     I know everybody has done one of these, and even though I’m a little late getting to it, I really liked the idea of the post. 

If you really knew me…

you would know that I am not as sweet as I may seem on here.  I have a sarcastic streak a mile wide, and I am quick to snap back .  Defensive and sassy is my go-to in tough situations.  This probably isn’t my best quality, and it is always something I’m working on.

you would know that I am the world’s worst at remembering to take pictures.  Total. Fail.

you would know that I say I don’t care what people think about me…but I do…but I don’t…but I can’t make up my mind.

you would know I plan out everything in my head: my day, blog posts, conversations (…I know), semesters, the future…I’m nuts.  I know.  I don’t even plan in broad strokes or what I like; it’s down to the specifics.

you would know I carry all my tension in my shoulders…and I don’t even have a stressful life!

you would know that I have taste out of my budget…it’s a curse.

you would know that I laugh at all my own jokes.

you would know I think I’m a lot craftier than I actually am, but I’m getting better.

you would know how much I overanalyze.  You would then likely tell me that I’m a super-nut.

     I am sure there is a ton more I could tell you, but how would I ever fit it into one post…I hope each one of you had an incredible weekend.  Mine was fabulous.  You don’t know laughter until you hear a two-year-old tell someone, “When it’s Christmas time; when it’s snowy time…then you can have a love.”  I’ll be back tomorrow with a “What I Wore Wednesday Sunday (on Tuesday).”

Sooooo relaxing.
