Float On

Driving to work today with the windows down, music blaring, and wind blowing in my hair was so picturesque. I was in a great mood all day, and I still can’t stop smiling. I’m just really, really thrilled with how my life is going. I have the best man, best friends, best job (give or take)…maybe all of this good weather is going to my head, but I’m just happy.

There’s always that ONE guy.
In my case, there’s the guy in my Psychology 105 lab who graduated from some prestigious college in Germany with a double major who came to this godforsaken place for some reason and thinks he’s the only person in the room worth anyone’s time. Why are you here? Pretty sure my TA knows what he’s talking about too, but hey, feel free to continue to argue every single point he makes. We don’t need to move on at any point.

Procrastination

After much figurative nail-biting, my passport application was successfully turned in today. Beyond the blue door at the post office was a cheerful man named Scott who took the most hostile looking photo of me in existance, but hey, I have everything I need to go to France now.

You’d think this would be a good day, and it would…if I didn’t have a whole bunch of work to do. I have one big project due to a family member on Wednesday, so I’ll probably only work on that a little tonight. More immediately, I have to pull all of the sources that I’m going to use for my research paper on a topic I haven’t even chosen yet by tomorrow. A normal student would a) have this done already or b) do it immediately after typing this. Not me. I will drink this energy drink, play Mass Effect 2 until I feel I’ve had enough enjoyment to tide me over until I’m done with this drab work at around 3-4 this morning.

Hands Down

I have a cautionary tale.
Last night, I was babysitting my little siblings. I decided pizza was the best way to feed them, and Pizza Hut was right up the street, so that was that. I was going to go with classic cheese, like any normal human being, until all three children started asking if we could put bacon on the pizza. Now, I love bacon. Crisp, blackened bacon is delicious atop any pizza. I obliged and in a short while was off to pick up the pie. I arrived home and dished out the slices, and took a bite. It wasn’t terrible, but I was just excited for the stuffed crust (which, if you follow pizza etiquette, you must eat last.) I took another bite and found the bacon…which was more like two inch thick slabs of pig fat. I literally spit it out. I ate the crust, and that was all. This morning, I woke up and got sick twice. Now, this could be a coincidence, but I’m just saying, don’t go chewing on any lard pieces or you’ll probably throw up.

Although my day didn’t start off so well, this is one of the best days I’ve had in awhile. I was in the zone at work and we had a lot of fun, and then had a meeting after work to announce some changes (new carrot smoothie comes out tomorrow…so there’s that.) Our meetings are always a blast because I love the people I work with, so it was a good end to the week.

Tomorrow after classes, I have an appointment to apply for my passport…this is the final puzzle piece, after tomorrow, it’s hoping time flies until March :)

I’m so happy. 

Before... After!

I know the before photo looks ridiculous, but wrapping your hair around an elastic headband before you sleep produces these lovely curls in the morning. So useful when you don’t have time to do anything to your hair in the morning.
