On Currently posts after 3 weeks off….

May 16, 2016

I’m back! Woooo! I survived the semester from hell and at my sisters request getting my behind back in the blogging world.(she’s pregnant can’t deny her anything) So to do a little catch up we will start with a Currently post. Also…please excuse the serious amount responses to older posts.

Reading: So I am on book #15 of the Anita Blake Series I’ve told you guys about. I didn’t make it this far the last time I read the series so this book is actually new. I am also reading “Raising Boys with ADHD” with my sister. Just started that one last night. 

Listening to:  Children giggling in the hallway and a podcast called Welcome to Night Vale. So creepy. Seriously. My friend recommended it and it is interesting. Basically its like a news update for a town that doesn’t exist or at least i don’t think it exists?
Watching: We are on the 2nd to last episode of Breaking Bad! OMG. Seriously. This stuff has been crazy and I can see how watching this week to week when it was on would have people hooked. Also catching up on my shows Scandal is OMG, I haven’t seen anything else yet. I did start watching 60 Days in the other night..not sure why?! I am always fascinated by prison stuff. 
 
Making: I finally have time in the evening so I am going to start cooking again. I can’t wait. First recipe I am making is this Spaghetti Squash – Buffalo Chicken! 
Organizing:  My little tiny space. I did unpack most of my stuff but I haven’t hung anything or organized anything since I moved it. So now it is time to get to work! I need to stay out of HomeGoods. They have sooooo much cute stuff! 
 
Celebrating: My brother graduated High School this past Saturday. I still can’t believe it. So excited for him and to see where he decides to go to College. Hopefully i will get to see him on an even bigger stage soon! 
Feeling: So happy that this semester is over, overwhelmed while waiting for my grades and excited for more free time for myself. 
That is all folks! Let me get back to catching up on your blogs 🙂

On Beautiful Weather…

April 19, 2016

This past weekend was beautiful in Chicago…of course by beautiful I mean it was finally about 50 outside. I wish I could say I did something exciting but really I had a ton of studying & laundry to do. I did manage to make it outside as much as I could though.

Friday night was study & organizing night….Saturday I spent the day doing laundry & studying until The Boyfriend and I went out to dinner, for a walk and then rushed home to watch more Breaking Bad. See the theme here? I am glad we will be done with it before the summer though! Sunday I woke up early and headed to the burbs to visit my family and see my brother in a choir performance..then back home to study! 3 weeks till finals!!! 
So my not so busy weekend in pics…

Delicious Tapas!

On Monday’s before Spring Break…

March 21, 2016

Being back on Monday after Saturday Parent teacher conferences is not fun…BUT we only have 4 days this week and then Spring Break! Then I am off to Punta Cana! 

Friday...since I knew I worked all day Saturday I told my friend I could only do dinner & drinks and be home at a reasonable hour. Do you think that happened? No…it definitely did not. Skipped dinner went straight to drinks and too many of them…there were a few stops and dancing and getting home so late I might as well have stayed awake. BUT…it was a great night! 


Saturday…started with a hangover from hell. Seriously. How I managed to dress myself is a possible miracle and I got to school with a bagel sandwich and my pedialyte in hand. I managed to make it through the day without hurting anyone or falling asleep. Then The Boyfriend and I went out for some sushi and back home to netflix. Never been so happy to have a food coma in my life! 

Sunday…up bright & early to go to my parents. Since I am on vaca this weekend we decided to do a little Easter brunch a week early. Went to my parents and had brunch and then we went to see my brother in his last high school play and his first musical “The Little Mermaid” he was awesome and I was emotional. I can’t believe I have a brother who will graduate high school this year! How is that possible!?! 
For once I got a cute pic w/my mom on the 1st try!

So yea it was a good but short weekend! Are you ready for this week? 
Are you lucky enough to be counting down to spring break too??
