I made it to 6am spinning [after two failed attempts last week]. it was dark and cold but I went and pushed through and felt fabulous afterwards. I had my oatmeal in a peanut butter container this morning and enjoyed all the bonus butter from the contours. Made for a nice reward for spinning. 101 days of school complete. I laughed with my co-workers and knocked out two reevaluation meetings and one student observation. Wedding stamps arrived!!! I found a…

Would you believe I stayed in both nights this weekend? I’m definitely in the post-Christmas-its-cold-hibernation mode. Plus, Matt was out of town on Friday night and I was too tired to make plans. So I went grocery shopping and came home with a huge WF salad and introduced myself to Downton Abbey. I wasn’t instantly hooked, but I really liked it and definitely will be watching more. I keep thinking about the characters. Its not Friday night without a beer!…
Food makes my day. Today it was having fresh blueberries in my oatmeal, a Great Harvest Virginia roll with lunch, a perfect piece of strawberry shortcake from Whole Foods, and the large pizza that Matt brought home from some campus event. Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I had greasy pepperoni pizza and it was to die for. I reheated it under the broiler and the crust was crisp on the outside and doughy in the middle. I gotta…
-Monday mornings are no fun. Making it to Monday evening is an accomplishment. -Lately, biking makes me feel like my brain is rattling inside my skull. I went to spinning tonight and now I have a headache in the back of my head. But it was a good class. -What is it about Don Draper? -Now that I have cable, I watch House Hunters constantly. I kind of want to move to Melbourne. -Eating is always the highlight of my…
Today was wonderful; just how I wish every day could be. I went to spinning before work, rolled into the office around 9:30, left around 1:30 and enjoyed the rest of my afternoon running errands and strolling around Boston. There was nothing going on in the office, so I just left! I went straight to the Teriyaki house on my way home to get Chinese food for one of my counseling cases (since tomorrow will be our last session and…
Thursday is a nice day. Something about being over the hump just brings anticipation and a little bit more productivity. I’m almost finished with a big report that’s due the week after spring break, so I feel good about my work load. I’ve got two more evaluations on my to-do list for May and then I may only have one or two more after that! I’m going to let out a big sigh of relief when my last IEP meeting…
Dare I say spring has arrived? It’s nothing like NC, but it did reach 60 today and the world came out of hiding. I’m actually sitting outside in an adirondack chair on campus, though I’m wearing both a sweatshirt and a sweater and I’m wrapped in a towel just to stay warm. The weekend was pleasant. Friday, I was lucky enough to taste the brand new Peak Organic Belgian before it’s officially released (I didn’t quite understand why this was…
All the beer samples from last night left me soo thirsty on this sunny Thursday. Despite chugging water all day, I just could not catch up. Don’t ya hate that? So, I decided that a nap was definitely in order when I got home from work. 20 minutes in the flannels felt just perfect and I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to pedal my heart out at spinning. It was a great class and I topped it off with…
What is up? April showers have arrived in Boston. I actually don’t mind too much though because the temps are warmer and I heard a nice roll of thunder today. And you know what thunder means….summer’s on the way. Thunder always makes me think of childhood thunderstorms during hot North Carolina summers. Today was really rather ordinary. I worked, I spun, I ate, and now, I sit. Until the game comes on, then I’ll be cheering for Butler! Dinner, was…
