Thursday Latelies

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Thursday Lately post, and I made a point this week to make notes of the things that are bringing me joy and reminding me of all I have to be thankful for.

I’m not ashamed to admit, that I’m kinda loving One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” and the fact that Glee covered it in a recent episode only makes me love it even more!

Neon nail polish! I had been holding off with the neon nail polish until warmer weather arrived and I’m so glad it finally has shown up! This neon pink is my current favorite and is super affordable, $1.99. Sinful Colors - Cream Pink

Ferry boat ride on a sunny day! So beautiful!

Summer purse! I picked up this colorful little guy at Target and am loving the bright colors and fun design!

And lastly, one more guilty pleasure song…”Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen. I can’t resist, every time it comes on the radio I sing at the top of my lungs and dance along.

Those are just a few things bringing a smile to my face this week!

Thursday Latelies

Happy Snow Day number 3! So, it’s Thursday and since I happen to have the day off I can take part in Thursday Latelies with Bex. I don’t have a video, but I do have some photos to share via Instagram. I’ve been a little obsessed with this app this week.

Here are a few things bringing me joy this very snowy week!

Starbucks Christmas Espresso Roast – one of my all time favorite roasts! This is my last bag of he season and I have been savoring it every morning! Can’t wait for next Christmas!

Earth Therapeutics, Elixir of Dreams Pillow Mist – I picked this up at Fred Meyer about a week ago after my friend Natalie gave me the Bath and Body works Sleep aromatherapy body wash for Christmas. Both products are awesome, but I love the pillow mist, just a few spritzes on my pillow before bed time and it helps me relax, and drift off to sleep. I love the lavender scent!

Champion Snow Boots from Target – I had been wanting these Sorel boots since last winter, and then I found these at Target. So I bought some bright blue laces and I have my boots! They have been wonderful and warm in all the snow!

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? I just finished it this morning, and this is a hilarious book. It’s basically lots of little essays about Mindy’s views on an assortment of topics as well as how she found her way to The Office. If you’re looking for a easy, fun read I definitely recommend this!

Hope you’re having a wonderful Thursday! Hopefully, I’ll be back with another list of loves next week!

Really? It’s not Saturday…

Happy Veterans Day! My day off was spent doing a little shopping and relaxing at home. All day I had to keep reminding myself that there’s school tomorrow, the weekend has not started yet. Really, it doesn’t make any sense to go back to school, wish I could call in sick but I have nothing ready for a sub.

Not too much going on here. Things have seemed to lighten up a bit in terms of stress. YL is going better or at least I haven’t had any more issues with certain individuals. Last week I was seriously contemplating quitting, but I’m in it for the year at this point and trying to stay positive and trust that everything that happens is for the best.

On another note, on Saturday I ‘m attending the wedding reception for my best friend from junior high and high school. We are, I don’t know, I guess estranged is the best word for it, at this point in time. Have been for a while, but she invited me and so I’m going. Not exactly sure what to expect, it’ll be good to see her and to see some people from high school who I’ve heard will be going as well.

I should get to bed, since we have a full day of work ahead tomorrow. And then it’s finally the weekend!!

Thursday Tell All

So, as you may have noticed, not doing so hot on this posting more often kick…but there’s always room for improvement (there’s the teacher in me coming out) so we’ll just keep on working on it.

It’s not like I haven’t had anything to write about, random things will pop into my head throughout the day and I’ll think “oh I should blog about that,” then after a long shift of barista-ing I come home and crash…you can probably figure out the rest just by taking a look at this! But, let me try and rehash the goings-on in my life recently…

I have crammed WAY too much stuff into my bedroom at home. It’s that whole thing that happens when you live on your own in an apartment and aquire furniture, and other odds and ends you need for your new space that is entirely yours and you have more than just ONE room to put it all in. Now, don’t get me wrong there are a lot of things that I could probably get rid of but being a part of my room makes them feel necessary and that I need them here. I’ve been on an organizational kick trying to tidy and make things feel less cluttered it’s working but I don’t know how much longer I’ll want to keep living in my childhood bedroom.

I have been working CRAZY hours at Starbucks this week. Normally I’m a mid-morning/closer kinda gal, but this week it’s been mid-day 7-8 hour shifts with weirdness. Like yesterday people were continually paying me with change. And not just like a few dollars not it would be here’s 8 dollars in quarters, or $6.78 in an array of change, it happened all day. And it’s not usually a problem or something I complain about, I totally understand the need to lighten your wallet or purse, but in the drive-thru things are supposed to be like super-nova speed and when I have to stop and count out all the change and then tell you I still need 6 more cents it gets a little frustrating.  At least it didn’t happen again today! (And praise the Lord I have tomorrow off!)

And now my brain feels as though it is starting to melt, sentences are failing to be formed and I am signing off for the night but I will be back tomorrow hopefully!
