Why do I want these?

I mean seriously. I have to wear gloves when doing lots of dishes because my hands are so dry. And for some reason...I want these!!

Blast from the Past

Has someone from your past (ex-significant other or not) ever come back in? Not to renew a relationship or anything, just kind of...accidentally.

This has happened to me.

I find it emotionally draining. Not only am I sad because I am not involved in the musical anymore (a difficult choice I made last year), but this person is. The new director (and my very dear friend) had no idea when she brought this person in. When the connection was realized, I was shocked. Because this person was in my life for a few years.

Needless to say, it is going to be an interesting weekend.

My dream dining room

If I had the money...this is what I want to buy, all from Pottery Barn.

I want a formal dining room in a beautiful mahogany stain.


With a beautiful buffet/wine rack...

Unfortunately, this is not in the near future:
Montego Table: $1,699
Set of 4 side chairs and 2 armchairs with wooden bottoms: $1,899
Montego wine buffet: $1,399
TOTAL: $4,997

Perhaps I will hit the lottery sometime soon.

New love!

I have never had a kitchen floor that I have really cared about.  When living in an apartment, it was often an area I would occasionally sweep, but honestly, I would usually forget about it (especially because they were not that pretty).  Now that I love and adore my kitchen and new floating wood laminate floor, I wanted a quick, easy way to mop up.  I bit the bullet and bought the Swiffer Wet Jet.  I SIMPLY LOVE IT.  Wow.  It was such a quick, easy way to mop up the floor after a quick sweep up!

I highly recommend it!

Incomplete

The technical end date of our internship is May 5.  I have opted to take an incomplete and a few additional weeks to finish up some projects and turn everything in before the end of May.  My ultimate goal is to have it all done except my major 50-hour (out of 300) project, which will be completed upon the close of the senior recognition ceremony on May 19.

As much as I want it to be done and over with, I refuse to kill myself to get this done.

I don't think I have ever been so...apathetic...about anything ever.  I think because my internship has just shown me that this is exactly what I am NOT ready for in life.

I think I will remain in my Kleenex-sized box of a classroom and enrich the minds of young people.

Menu Plan Monday: Back at it!

In an attempt to get my finances back together, I am back to Menu Planning Monday. I have realized that when I do not have a grocery list at the store, I spend like a fool with no direction and buy stupid things that I do not need and will not use.  We need to reign in the spending, now that we have added expenses with the house.  So, here goes!

Sunday: Tacos

Monday: Broccoli and chicken pasta

Tuesday: Kielbasa-bean soup (crock pot day)

Wednesday: Frozen pizzas

Thursday: Buffalo chicken lasagna

Friday: Rehearsal and dinner for my friend's wedding

Saturday: Jen's wedding
