Thursday Thoughts V

Linkin’ up with Sar once again for another round of Thursday Thoughts!

   Thursday already?! I guess having Monday off has me all mixed up. So unbelievably glad it’s my “Friday” today, no more classes until Monday! My brain needs the rest. Between getting trained at Job #1, attending five classes, teaching one of them, being an officer in Accounting Club, being trained at Job #2, planning a wedding, trying to budget money, having my car fall apart, and maintaining every other aspect of life…I could not respect the weekend any more than I do. Now if only having no classes on Fridays meant I could actually relax…but alas! Both jobs await!

   Enough self-pity for now. On to the hap’s!

ONE

   Bought this little diddy over the weekend – SUPER excited about it. I met with my fellow engaged friend, Ashley, to get coffee on Saturday and she showed me her planning book. I decided right then and there that I definitely needed one in my possession. Hopefully it’ll help me organize some thoughts!

TWO

   Lover Boy brought me these. I rarely am a recipient of flowers so I was very touched – nearly teared up! A little later he might’ve let it slip that he took them from work because they were just getting tossed in the trash but hey! It’s the thought that counts!

THREE

   I am so obsessed with banana chips right now that it’s kind of freaky. It’s weird, too, because I used to hate them...even the smell of them made me angry. Life tip: don’t smell banana chips. Just don’t. Well now I have somehow acquired some strange addiction to the things and buy basically a pound of 'em every time I go grocery shopping. SO GOOD. Not as good for you as you’d expect…or want…but that ain’t stopping me!

FOUR

   I had the pleasure of attending our University’s annual Freshman Convocation last night at which Dr. Condoleezza Rice was the special guest. I (ashamedly) don’t follow politics very closely so I wasn’t as intrigued by her visit as some other folks, but the business class I’m teaching requires us to read Dr. Rice’s book Extraordinary, Ordinary People and I’ve really enjoyed it! It was cool to read about someone’s life then get to listen to them speak. She gave great advice, was an awesome speaker, and even gave a small piano recital! Very neat.

FIVE

    The temperature’s cooling down here, folks…leaves are starting to fall and I actually turned on the heater in my room last night! Ahhh I’m not ready. My roommate and I were talking last night about how the prospect of winter almost weighs heavy on us. Montana winters are tough, ya’ll.

Well that about sums it up for me this week! As always, thanks for reading and have a fun-filled and adventurous weekend!
