All I want to do...

...is decorate.

I know I've said it before, but with John moving into a new house (and the perception that I will probably one day live there) I just want to decorate...

Ok, ok, I'll admit it, I went on another shopping spree today (ugh). At the end of the year Tuckahoe Middle School Bible Breakfast this morning, I received a Bed Bath and Beyond gift card... how could I resist?? Alright, so I went there.... and a few other places, but whatevs, I got some deals

My purchases:

-A kitchen mat

-"K" napkin rings (ok now that is obsessive... but they were cute and cheap!)

-two wall decorative pieces

-white sheer curtains ($4 at Ross!)

-citronella candles

Meanwhile, I dream of living in a house like this...

feeling like...

A bad student... My books have no come in, which is partially my fault because I have never taken summer school, and I was not in the right mindset to order book RIGHT after my last semester of undergrad (woop woop!). School began, and I realized I had no books. Silly me went ahead and ordered them online because they are way cheaper... I probs shoulda just sucked it up and bought them at a terrible price at the bookstore, but I didn't and now it's too late. SO I await my textbooks... So far, I've been able to get by... finding things online and snagging other people's books, BUT I feel like a delinquent. Of course this is the first time that EVERYONE has come to class prepared with their books, marked up, and annotated.. and I sit there with no book. Today I will go to Barnes and Noble and see if they have it there, so I can just sit and read what I need to for today's class. Fortunately, my much needed text book is in transit and should be here today... we hope.

i have become...

A shopoholic. John is moving in to a house with some buddies this Wednesday, and I have become obsessed with finding decor and necessities for the sweet little house. I have only settled for substantially cheap things and decor that they would actually not mind. I'm totes not trying to be annoying dressing up their house when really, they could care less. John actually likes for it to look nice and has painted and made some tables and what not, so I don't feel quite as bad.

So far I've given them a lot of stuff I already had, bought some decorative pictures, a medium sized clock, shower curtain and liner, bath mat, and some towels. It's a work in progress!

Needless to say, this summer will be filled with yard sales and thrifting.

I am officially living vicariously through John and his new house.

Pictures to come

*Sigh*

This is where I'd like to go for my honeymoon one day.... If only...

(John, you better start auditioning for some big movies or something... Come on, get goin!)

highs and lows

I frequently do "highs and lows" with my Middle Schoolers, so I'd like to present some highs and lows to you from today (and it's only 2pm)

LOW

-I can't find my passport. After the Phills I put it by the filing cabinet, and left a note for my dad to file it away. Well, the note's still there, but the passport is no where to be found. AND if I can't find it, I have to get it expidited since it's kinda late to be getting one for July. Luckily, I finally found an open appointment for tomorrow after calling 10 different post offices. But, still pray that I find it some time tonight... Let's just say I had a slight panic attack today...

-I start summer school today... 3 hour class, 3 days a week... joy. Luckily it's an education course, so it will be interesting and useful.

HIGH

I am very excited about using this stationary. It came in a pack of 50. $7 at Ross Dress for Less. SCORE!

the home stretch

ONE MORE EXAM, AND THEN I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH UNDERGRAD.

OOOOHHH YEAH!

risen from the dead

I AM ALIVE BLOGGER WORLD!

And almost done with my semester! This past month has been a whirlwind, and I am very sorry I neglected you, ever so lonely blog.

Today I turned in my Senior Seminar paper... Glory to GOD in the highest. This is the paper I have literally been working on all semester (ok, maybe not those few weeks I should've been working on it, but wasn't). I gathered some 20 sources and eventually wrote a 20 page paper. Now, I can't really complain because for college, this really isn't that big of a deal, but this thing has been looming in the back of my head for the whole semester, and now it's out of my hands! PRAISE!

OK so now I am back in action blogger world!
