It’s Friday!

September 8, 2017

 Yay! It’s Friday!!! Its been a long ass week over here even with Monday off. First week back with the kids is always exhausting and add in school for me and I’m D.E.D.

Some things to ponder this coming weekend….

– Is it ok that I am anti-fall( I really do love summer) but had my first Salted Caramel Mocha today? 

– Do college professors purposely wait until you have a good weekend of relaxing coming up to give you all the homework? I think they do.

– Do I need to take the AC unit out of my window yet? Are we going to have some freak warm weather and then I’ll melt to death trying to sleep without AC? Ugh. Decisions.

– Why did Game of Thrones end right before the school season started? Don’t they know I don’t do shit around this time of year? That is what SUNDAY Nights were for dammit.

I refuse to touch FB until I see the episode because assholes always spoil shit 
– Foosball season is upon us! Who’s excited? Who knows their team sucks ass and will lose all the games but doesn’t care? Me!!! Also…very excited that Marshawn Lynch is back so apparently I am watching Raiders games too this year! 
 
– Remember when I told myself I was going on a diet when September came? Yea. I remember that. Forget I mentioned that salted caramel mocha I had this morning…and the cinnamon raisin bagel too. Just scrap that I will start on Monday.
 

– I signed up for a 5k next month and haven’t run further than to my car in the rain (be serious I didn’t even do that) since like May. I may die, I hope they have a speed walking lane. 
 
 Ok. I think that’s all I have to think about this weekend.  Whats on your mind??

What’s New With You?

September 7, 2017

What's New With You

Oh man…where do I even begin?

Hi. My name is Monica and it has been one year since I last blogged.
I miss it.

I took a really long break because I went through a crap breakup and then was being really weird about sharing my life publicly after a person found my blog and proceeded to inform me that I had been cheated on. Yea. That happened.

So combine that with work and school and I just kind of gave up. Plus keeping with other blogs and bringing traffic in can be kind of exhausting sometimes. Right? But….

But I am here. I can’t make any promises that I will be posting anything wonderful but I can say I miss the blogging world and sharing my life!

So to be fair…here are some updates of the goings on in my life:

So that is all I’ve got for you today! I am excited to get back into the blogging world and check out what everyone has been doing! Stop by, say hello, if you are new drop the link to your blog so I can come check your corner of the universe out!

September: Currently!

September 16, 2016

How is September already? How quickly time flies right?

 Thought I would try something different…really need to learn to play with the computer and photos a little more. 

On to the fun parts…

Currently….
Reading… Textbooks and more textbooks but also just finishing up “Dark Places” by Gillian Flynn. Definitely recommend it!

Watching…Shameless! I am almost caught up. Been watching Elementary along the way too. I am not even near ready for my shows to start I am so far behind on everything. 

Loving… My niece and wishing like hell she lived closer (HELLO SISTER OF MINE…move closer please)
The day she was born!
Craving… Cookies! I am always craving cookies but just craving something super sweet right now.
Feeling…exhausted! Its only the second week back for the kids but man have there been serious tears. I had a kid who cried for an entire morning this week. AN ENTIRE MORNING. 
Starting…work on a case study for my microbio class that I am excited to do! For some reason learning details infectious diseases is intriguing for me! 
Listening…to another kid crying and some Lindsey Sterling on quietly. (BTW she is coming to Chicago next month!!!) 
Planning…my Draft Kings line up for this Sunday/Monday. Got to win back my money dammit!!

Pinning...a recipe to make Crab Cakes because I am finally in a decent size kitchen again and can’t wait to cook!

Wishing…that we could go back to 80+ degree days and everyone would slow down talking about Pumpkin Spice everything. I’m NOT READY.

 
That’s all i’ve got for you! I hope you all have an awesome weekend!
