stress

this week has/continues to be really stressful. work-related, of course.

and yesterday, i found myself in the gym shower without a towel. of course i would forget that. so awkward. and when i returned to my locker, i found myself locked out.  even more awkward.

plus, i dropped my breakfast on the floor when i was pulling it out of the microwave. awesome.

hmph.

on the bright side, i started reading the hunger games and cannot put it down. and i make some delicious meals for the boyfriend (lobster mac n cheeeese anyone?)

after this event is over on Sunday, i plan on getting a very large margarita.

This is all...

happy weekend loves,

Not Complaining

Last night, Wiz was upset. Poor little munchkin is gonna miss boyfriend for the next five days. I think she planned to tuck herself into his duffel bag and tag along for the trip.  As you know, he's going out of town to see some of his buddies in Indiana and I am trying really(really) hard not to whine, miss him too much, complain cause, well... it's only one week.  He hasn't even left yet. whine whine complain complain. I'm putting on my big girl pants, filling up my calendar and hoping St. Patty's Day comes sooner (rather than later).

And boyfriend. if you read this before you drive off (no textin while drivin!):   I miss you already. Poo. I don't know what to make for dinner tonight and already extended an invite to Jenn to come join me. I set the blanket out by your luggage so you didn't forget it (and don't forget your phone charger). I hope my car treats you well for the 10 hour drive and I look forward to our looooong phone call to break up the time. Have a good time out there -- feel free to come home early if you get homesick! I love you.

xo,

Spring Break... round 2?

whoooooo wants to go on spring break with me? cus I would totally do mid-terms all over again just to get some sunshine, drink a bucket at Louie's and lay on the beach. Oh, and walk on crushed beer cans, get free jesus van rides, run into the icy cold ocean and hang out with those crazies I call my friends (imisssthemsomuch)

Meet, the diversity van. Yea, we may have had to drive in a "snow storm" on the way back, crash in a hotel and it took us a bit longer... but we got to stop in San Antonio, go to Dick's and find a sweet Mexican breakfast spot.

errrrverybody. I love the creeper standing in the back. do ya see him? doya? doya? I also love the fact that I am dark. sooooodark. Seeing these photos make me want to cave and get a tanning package. But tanning is bad for you. I know this... right? right?

Anyhow. If anyone is headed to spring break and wants me to join in on the festivities, feel free to let me know. I travel light... I pretty much only need my swimsuit and maybe a towel. and some tanning oil. and maybe a cute top. and flip flops. and sunglasses. oh my, i guess i need to pack a bit 8)

Cheers,

New Things

Ok. So I've been doing alot of thinking.... :mrgreen:

Did I ever tell you how much I love Google Reader? I adore it.
I adore it so much that it has me thinking about something.
new things.
I'm thinking that I might start incorporating some new things into my blog!

See-- hellonatalie has basically just started. I use it to chronicle my day to day, and really help me keep track of what I'm doing as I grow up. But growing up means incorporating new things as well! And my blog love for fashion, the marketing industry, cooking, music, traveling... all of it.
MMMmmmmaaaybe minus the Wedding part. You can overlook that, cant you? ;)

Cheers,
Natalie

Ps. YES, i have some serious catching up to do on my google reader. But really, 267 is easy peezy... I've seen it at 948. Neglected google reader.

This is your Life

I thought this was inspiring...

Apartments

I've come to the realization that soon my life is going to be shifting quickly (or rather, that it already is) and that I could most likely document it through the apartments I'll be hopping from. I'm not yet in a place where I have stability and can settle into one residency, and while renting is the last thing I want to do--it's my only choice. So as I figure myself out and what my next steps are, I feel like I'll be moving from place to place until I finally have the time/energy/money to settle.

I'm not a blogger but a smart young man told me that having a blog is a good way to keep my thoughts documents. I'm a big fan of blogs--my google reader has 508 entries that I need to catch up from the weekend. So we'll move forward with this too and see what I can come up with :)

Happy Monday!

Cheers,

Natalie
