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!

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! 

Sunday ride to the burbs with the windows down

Is it Friday yet?
