Awkward and Awesome

- Melody

HEY OH! It’s finally Thursday. This week seems to be dragging on. It always seems like my tests fall on the same days. I’ll just be glad when it’s the weekend. Whew. So here we go.

AWKWARD:
-Telling someone “bless you” when they sneeze. I think it’s weird. So I don’t say it. Don’t hate me.
-Our teachers told us costumes were encouraged for Halloween so I came to school dressed as bacon. To my surprise only two other people were dressed up. Awkward… or is it awesome because I actually dressed up? As pork?
-My phone died during the night, despite its telling me it was fully charged when I went to sleep, so I missed my first class. I decided to miss my next one too to do homework. Is that bad of me?

AWESOME:
-So many bloggers are getting pregnant and having babies! Congrats guys. One day I’ll be one of you!
-My Aunt Jenn gave me a free chair that used to be in my parents house. I was so excited because I’ve been looking for a chair for the past few weeks! Eep!
-The same Aunt Jenn also gave us a FREE JCrew men’s shirt she got for $1. I wore it today. I was hot.
-Sleeping in tomorrow, spending an hour in a recital, then studying for two more hours before a super easy class. Hoping tomorrow’s a good day! (These next few weeks are going to be hard.)

Guess What I Did?

I’m a woman of lists, okay. Let’s just get that out there. I constantly make lists. It’s fun for me. Lists of homework to do, lists of what to clean, lists of what to shop for, wish lists, etc. It makes me feel productive without actually doing anything. And I may be OCD but we’ll just skim over that topic.

So, last night I made a list-it was more like a timeline-of what to do today.
-Wake up early! (yes.. that was on there.)
-30 Day Shred.
-Shower
-Homework

Since it was on the list I had to do it. Now, keep in mind I’ve had 30 Day Shred on a lot of lists but somehow I managed to make an excuse and erase it. I started for the second time over the summer but only got about a week done. This time, I’m determined. So you know what I did?

Yes people. No one put a gun to my head or offered me money. I just did it. I was so happy when I finished I almost cried. I complain to Jason all the time and finally it was the last straw. I can’t believe I actually did it. I woke up, put my shoes on and just did it before my brain knew what hit it. Whew!

22 minutes a day? 30 days? I’ve done it before (and got super awesome muscles) so I can do it again.

Here’s to tomorrow! 🙂

Wanna join me? Buy the DVD here and let’s get shredded together!

Saturday Swoons: Two Days Later

- Melody

This weekend was positively too short. Chock full of rehearsals, my first choir concert of the semester, and lots of family time, it felt like there weren’t enough hours in the day. It was still a good weekend!

Now that it’s Monday (ew) I thought I’d think about some neat stuff to make myself feel better.
-How cool is that? Not sure how much or if it’s even real but that’s super awesome.
-Sitting and thinking about what I still want to do to this house. It makes me feel so good knowing I can do whatever I want!
-Hitting up our goodwill three times in the past two weeks and hitting the jackpot every time.

-These browned butter chocolate chip cookies. SO. GOOD. (I also made homemade oatmeal cream pies. Also super delicious!)
-Getting a free chair, toaster, and JCrew shirt from my Aunt Jenn today. Wee!

I hope you’re having a good Monday so far!

(Happy Halloween! Today I’m going as bacon to school. I’ll be posting pictures soon!)

Happy Thursday everyone! Today I’m heading to Commerce to visit my sister and see their first choir concert of the semester. Woohoo! It’ll be a fun time with my family. I can see Braum’s in my near future… (PS. you are correct in noticing that that is the head of a rhino. It’s porcelain and everything. Legit.)

-No one really knows that I’m married at school. I want to make friends, but it’s hard when they’re guys. “Hi, I’m married!” really isn’t a great opening line. (Be my friend!)
-Feeling dumb in class when everyone else seems to get it and I’m left wondering “Uh.. what?”
-Being on my laptop at school and people come up to me and say, “Oh hey. Whatcha lookin’ at? Lemme see!” Um, boo. Did I suddenly step into a place where my laptop became some kind of communal laptop? I feel like I should’ve been told. After all it is MY laptop..
-Yeah, I can’t think of anything else.

-Coming home from school I see a side of the house we rarely visit. I always see something new. I love it.
-I took a five hour nap yesterday. What what!
-Finding out I only need three years of recital credits instead of four. Yay for being done after this year!
-Spending the day with my family tomorrow!
–Pinterest. Seriously. Get on that train.
-Thanksgiving is fast approaching. I’m so ready for turkey, family, and fall weather! Though when our leaves turn orange it’s because all the trees are dying. 🙁 I saw four fallen trees in one field on my way home. So sad. Two fell  in our neighbors yard after the storm last week! 🙁
Enjoy your Thursday! It’s almost Friday! Wee!
