In one week, I will have officially finished my first day back at work! It's really crazy what is going to happen in the next two weeks before my new group of kids come on the 18th!

Sitting here trying (unsuccessfully) to plan for the upcoming school year.
Listening...I love me some NeedtoBreathe! I have to smile when I think about them!  I went to high school/ college with them and never would have thought this would be their life! However, I'm super proud and love watching their success!

Loving...I've been working out on a fairly regular basis since the spring. I found a place I love to go that's full of amazing and supportive people! I ordered my MOH dress in April and received it at the end of June. I was freaking out when I brought it home because I could barely get the zipper up. I tried it on two days ago to see if there was any progress and it's a smidgen too big! Happy dance! The wedding is in 7 weeks...I do believe things will be okay! :)

Thinking...I have a group of friends on FB who committed to setting a goal/ resolution each month instead of failing miserably a one or two goals at the beginning of the year. I tend to become really anti-social at the beginning of each school year so my goal for August is to have dessert once a week at a local restaurant. I don't eat out much and when I do, I'm always too full for dessert. I was going to change my goal, but now that my MOH dress fits...it's a go!

Wanting...This is the third time my car has been in the shop since February. It has caused me much stress and makes me want to move to a city where I could live in walking distance to everything I need! I haven't gotten any phone calls so I'm hoping the work is going smoothly and there are no hiccups that would cause my bank account to cease to exist!

Needing...I cannot get into my classroom. Normally, I'd be okay with this. This year, I'm a little anxious. We return on Monday, August 11th. We meet our kids and parents on the 13th. I'm hoping to have things looking presentable by the time they arrive! Hope there are some fairies that magically set up classrooms!

Now...I'll get to work!

Be sure to check out Teachers Pay Teachers! The sale ends August 5th!

Hope everyone has a great school year!

Currently March...

It's March! Why is time flying by so fast and yet so slowly??? Spring Break is still more than a month away! I sure do hope I can make it without losing my mind.
And with that lets link up courtesy of Farley....here's my March (currently):

 

Listening: I'm so obsessed with the Gatsby soundtrack. Love, LOve, LOVE it! Very versatile with a lil' bit of edge.

 

Loving: I started crocheting a few months ago and (for the most part) love it! Somehow, the repetitive movement helps me relax. My friend and I are opening a booth this year and  hope to sell our crafts for a profit. Should be good clean fun! If I can get used to all these patterns and stitches, life would be golden!

 

Thinking: I am not a fan of bulletin boards. I've been trying to do a better job this year of changing them out and making them meaningful. I'll take all any ideas that can be easily executed (in the comment section)...thanks in advance.

 

Wanting: Sleep is such a treasure. Really not a fan of not sleeping more than 3-5 hours a night during the week! Please don't look at the timestamp.

 

Needing: My bestie from HS is getting married this fall. Super excited minus the fact that we live so far apart and cannot do all the fun things together. However, technology is awesome and keeps us connected. If only our schedules were easy to navigate. Spending some time this weekend looking searching for the perfect look. Yay shopping! :)

 

???: Any guesses? Leave them in the comment box below.

 

 



Thanks for stopping by!

Is it Spring Break yet?!?!?

February 2014 Currently

I haven't done one of these in a while. However, with multiple snow days on my hands, I have no excuse! It's also the middle of the month, but whatever. Link up here: Farley's Blog

 

 

I don't feel that there's anything questionable in this edition.

I am LOVING everything about Janelle Monae! She's amazing! Hope that make it to one of her concerts on day....yeah, bucket list!

We've used all of our snow days and then some. It never snows this much in the south. Hopefully, all will be forgiven. I was so looking for to some long weekends this spring, but mother nature has other plans.

My coffee pot broke two weeks ago. Not sure how, but it was not a good day. I just unpacked my new system and I LOVE it! It's red and shiny and programmable. Such a good decision!

Wanting & Needing...Seriously want to bake some cookies, but I don't think I'll show any self-restraint when they're done. I'm getting cabin fever and really need to workout/ move more. I really don't like being sedentary. I have been going to Zumba at a studio in town in love it. Hopefully, the roads will be cleared by Friday and I can go out and shake off this snow day weight I might be gaining.

Lastly....

TRUTH: I am a salsa dancer. Love the dance. Love the people. Love the music. 

FALSE: I hate mushrooms and I hate ravioli. the end.

TRUTH: I really do want to be a party/ wedding planner...one day. Unfortunately, rural SC isn't the place to hone those skills.

 

CHEERS TO SNOW DAYS!
