June?!?

Seriously, somebody must be crossing days off of the calendar when I am not looking! How can it already be June?!?

Anyway... here are a few items I am liking right now...

TOMS Shoes... does anybody have these? Comfy? True to size? Advice would be appreciated :-)

iPad... okay, mine is the original iPad, not the iPad2, but I cannot begin to describe how much I LOVE it.  At first I was a little hesitant because I didn't think I would find it that useful...I have found so many amazing uses for it...I can't remember what I did before I had it.  I can't tell you how much $$$$ it saved me in ink and paper this past semester in school.  All of the articles and readings I had for class, I just loaded them on the iPad (in pdf form) through GoodReader and I was able to highlight, annotate, draw and mark up the documents to my heart's content.  The search feature was also amazing during class discussions when I needed to find something to reference from an earlier work. :-) (Fair warning, I adore pretty much anything Apple does :-) )

1154 Lill...How cute are these bags?  I may have to break down and design one for myself.  Fun to play designer right now, though! :-)

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to our troops and their families for their many sacrifices.

What comes between March and May?

Nothing according to this blog! Apparently I skipped posting in April entirely!  Poor neglected little blog.  Now that I am done with school for the summer, I promise to post more often!  Whether I have anything intelligent to say when I do post is another matter entirely! ;-)

Ready or not...here comes summer!

Well, despite her best efforts, Mother Nature can only hold off the hot weather so long...

What are you most looking forward to this summer?  Least?

I think I need to try and get back in shape this summer.  Tired of feeling sluggish... Any tips or hints to lose a lot of weight with a minimal amount of effort while still having regular soda and candy?  If so, I'll take the advice right now...no time to waste!  Otherwise, I'll go the boring "watch what I eat and exercise" route :-p

School is all over (or at least almost) but the grading...fingers crossed!

Have a great weekend!

Testing...1, 2, 3...Is this thing on?

Well, I was away longer than I planned...Ever had one of those weeks that suddenly became two of those weeks?  It seems like the closer I get to spring break or the due date of some super huge paper, the more likely I am to get sick. :-p (I actually sprained my ankle AND got the flu last spring break...do I know how to celebrate or what?!)

Now, papers are done and I'm feeling better, so fingers crossed! :-)

More tomorrow...

Tiny little break?

So, just taking a tiny mental health break in the midst of my sea of papers.  I keep telling myself that I am almost done...with at least one! ;-)  Doesn't help that the weather is beautiful today and I would rather just hang out outside. :-(

Anyway, music provides a nice little break!

What do you do to pass the time when you are supposed to be doing other things?

((Back to the title of the post, can something be "tiny" and "little"...is that redundant?))

Lazy Saturday...What's that?

So, for some reason, every professor expects a big paper this next week.  In addition to the two somewhat small papers I had to write last week.  Additionally, this week's reading list is ridiculous. >.<  Feeling just a wee bit stressed out!  Weather hasn't been helping, either.  Kinda dreary.

However, when I stop for two seconds in the middle of my own little pity party and think about the tragedy that is going on over in Japan right now, my 4 little papers due this week seem rather small and insignificant.  Thoughts and prayers to all affected.  Please send up your own prayers (if you are so inclined), as well.

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend.  I will try to post something tomorrow.
