I couldn't resist.

Leaving now with this note of simplicity and awesomeness all wrapped up in one.

Target Tuesdays

Hello there, after last nights slight mope I am feeling better and so ready for today to be over. I have a major presentation tonight so send me good thoughts around 6pm East Coast time! Once it's over, I'm in the home stretch of this semester.

Here's what I'm loving from Target today! So go link up with Fabulous but Evil, and join in the fun.

Deary Target must you have winter things, buy 1 get one 50% off...

Oh winter boots. How I love thee.

This comes in so many cute colors! I need it! 

I've been admiring this lip balm from afar. I think it's in the cards for this weekend. 

While you may be asking why I like baby bags, but let me tell you. They look awesome with a monogram and have so many pockets and space for everything. They are sturdy to take to class and just all around great, as long as you can find one that doesn't LOOK like a baby bag ;) 

Have a great Tuesday, can't wait for Wednesday! 

Here in the now

Sometimes this place is dreadful. But not the kind of dreadful that you never want to get out of bed. It's the kind of busy that you have to be to keep from going insane. It's the kind of lonely where you keep strong and carry on because you know it could be worse. It's the kind of forgetful, where you feel like they are all forgetting you...or could it be that you are forgetting them? It's the kind of feelings that don't really count because there isn't really anything that is "wrong"

It's not that I hate my job or the place I'm in. I just know it could be, will be better. But only if I make it through another day. So load up my plate and say yes to one more thing. It's the kind of walk, or should I say run, that suddenly you look up and there is a bright star for a few days when you see a glimpse of what tomorrow holds. It's the kind of frustrating that seems to take forever, I can almost feel it and yet it seems like it's so many hops and skips away.

It's the kind of thoughts that make you appreciate people you had forgotten, or a memory that hadn't surfaced in a while. It's the kind of quiet that really isn't all that quiet because there is a constant stream of people in and out that really want to mean something to you. But it's that meaning you haven't quite figured out how to give out, when you know it's temporary. You know it's do-able, and a great opportunity, and so much more than say lucky, grateful, blessed.

But for now, it's just the now.

Dragging Around

That is how I feel today. It's only 3pm and I've had 3 meetings in 3 different locations and five thousand questions as we have recently gone to student workers at the desk in the day time. Let me give you a little background history, before I started this job in Res Life I went to bed by 10pm, Midnight only if I went out with the girls. I was up eagerly by 7 or 715am even on the weekends. Today I could have slept until 715pm. 

That was me this week. I worked out all week but it was a kicking, fighting battle to get into the darn gym. Hopefully my 4 mile run tomorrow will go better. I can get up and do it anytime I want before 6pm so I think it should be A-Okay. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend, I know mine will be full of cooking, baking, homework and football. 

What's your song AND Seriously? Thursday!

Go Link up with Goodnight Moon! 

     This song is sweet and simple. It makes me smile in the car and sing a long. I also decided to link up to Seriously Thursday?! With From Mrs. To Mamma so also head over there and link up.

1. I can't believe it's already only 6 weeks until I'm on Christmas Break. That seriously can't come any sooner.

2.  I can't seem to keep my plants alive. It was suppose to be full proof but the darn thing just keeps loosing leafs and never growing any back. I think I'll just take it out back and throw it out this weekend. Maybe that side of domestic-hood isn't for me...

3. Speaking of domestic-hood, last night I went to Wal-Mart to grocery shop for the next two weeks. I live alone so I really had to do some planning regarding what I could buy that I would also have time to cook. After spending a little under an hour there I went to check out. Every line had individuals with two or MORE carts... I was so frustrated and realized that it was the beginning of the month. Won't be doing that again

4. It's time to begin Advent Box shopping. I make Bran one and will need to get it to him all finished by the week of Thanksgiving. If anyone has any cute not too expensive small gifts that would fit in the slot as big as a beer bottle I'd LOVE suggestions!

5. In regards to the week of Thanksgiving, I am thrilled to say that after all the sheenagains regarding a presentation and multiple times of switched dates, I will be able to go the Wedding the weekend of the 18th and not come back to Knoxville. Thrilled isn't even the word I want to use.

6. It's tough when things change. People change and sometimes I'm not ready or willing. But sometimes it's better in the long run. I know that it's the reality and that we're all growing up and moving on but sometimes it feels like since I'm the one who left, that I'm the only one who is feeling left out.

Have a great Thursday!

It's Wednesday? Oh how Pintresting...

So, I thought I was only taking the weekend off for the wedding site hunting and beach get away. Turns out it's already Wednesday and I haven't blogged. October was a crazy month, I'm so glad it's over! Go link up at The Vintage Apple, and make sure to have a happy hump day.

Photo Shoot is coming up at the end of the month! Eek 

Weddings on my mind =)

Bran loves these so much, I thought I'd try to make them! 

I can't believe it's already Turkey Day time! 

This has been a very unfortunate reality since I moved away from the small town, and started all over again. 

That's all for today, happy thoughts to all on this sunny and cold morning. 

Starts in my toes...

Please note the Pintrest post was suppose to post yesterday...oops. Now for today's link up I saw "What's your Song?" So head over to Goodnight Moon and link up!

Today I'm needing some bubbly. It's been a really rough month between long distance lovin' and graduate school cracking down. This song always makes me want to sing and dance and it's definitely in the top tier for our wedding dance. I can actually play it on the guitar but obviously haven't had the time to practice. 

So as I get ready to spend the weekend in the car for 16 hours, and at the beach I leave you with some Colibe Caillat.
