Monday, Monday...

I only have 11 more Mondays left in pharmacy school! Only 11 more times will I walk down the halls wishing my friends a Happy Monday! Unfortunately, there are 13 more Tuesdays left, and this semester, Tuesday has been WAY more painful than Monday...

And today, I'm super excited. Saturday I got a call from a friend that she won me a ticket to a concert that I REALLY wanted to go to, tonight. I never got my ticket because almost as soon as I wrote the date down on my calendar my exam schedule came out, and I have a test, tomorrow. I couldn't find a concert date (Monday night late night sitters are hard to come by, and Husby has to work at the crack of dawn, so that was out) and didn't want to wander the streets alone in the cold OR loose my car in the city in the dark and the cold all alone...Most of my friends that are fans live no where near here anymore, or also weren't willing to go out on a Monday night. And, to be honest, I'm probably too old to pull that sort of thing off anyways...So, I had pretty much decided it wasn't going to happen...Until...My friend won tickets and HAS to go with me cause it's one of those tickets you have to be on a list for. I'm so excited!

The real test though, will be if I can stay awake the whole show. Lil one was up till 11, then up again from 3ish to 5ish...And I'm mid 3 hour lecture in a class with the shades drawn....

In other news, I have had a very productive Monday so far! I scheduled the dog to get his hair and nails done (I'm a little jealous, gotta admit! Although I'm rocking some new polish today :oD), printed the weeks notes, finished a study guide, and applied a few more "gentle" suggestions to this here blog.

Blogging with pictures...

I've been trying to apply all the lovely feedback I've been getting from the blog hop! It is pretty boring around here without pictures, and that's something I've enjoyed most of the blogs I've checked out with the hop...I have close to a billion pictures on our desktop, but for whatever reason I can't get blogger to properly load on there...So I emailed a couple to myself, and in this post I'm going mess around with the photos...and see how it looks!

Someone LOVES having her picture taken...

Waiting patiently to go play in the snow...Again...

So...Did it work? I also made the layout wider. At least I think. I had it set up for two rows of stuff on the right hand side, but I only actually have one row of stuff...Keep the feedback coming, so helpful!

Blog Hop Linky?

Did it work?

Since I'm changing it up anyways...Why not get some feedback?

First. Ever. Blog hop! Pending I can at least figure out how to connect after writing my "blurb"! I guess there's no time like the present to open up for feedback. The problem is, I don't know how to do a lot of the stuff, like add new pages, and pictures, and fancies yet! But, It'd be nice to get some direction for when I have the skills and the time...gentle direction, that is :)

I am so excited to be part of a very unique blog hop. Gail @My Repurposed Life and MeganDVD @ Beauty in the Attempt are hosting “The Bold and the Beautiful-your blog reviewed”.

Please take a look around my blog, check out the layout, pages, buttons, sidebar and gadgets. I would love for you to gently critique my blog. I’m hoping you will leave me some positive feedback about my blog. It would be great if you could give me constructive criticism but be sure to tell me what you like about my blog too! Do you like my pictures? Does my blog load quickly for you? How about the font? All tips and tidbits welcome!

Redesigning...Or at least ready to make more than just a feeble effort....

After spending a chunk of the evening making a study guide for my management class (I think I'm the only one in pharm school that doesn't loathe the liberal artsy parts of the ciriculum...) I thought I'd to see if it was any easier to try to edit my blog layout on my laptop vs. the desktop. I gave it a try earlier but couldn't manage to change the colors, and it was rather drab. More than an hour later...I found a background and a color combo I don't hate...Although it still needs some work. I could spend hours tweaking the colors alone, but just because I like them doesn't mean that other people can stand to look at it...I'm not happy with the huge chunk of empty space next to the picture (one of about ten shots that are on my laptop...) but it'll work for now. It's not quite as painful to look at, and I think I might actually be ready to share it with more than my 6 followers, and take feedback now that I have the motivation to make my blog suck less.

Not just lazy at blogging....

I took a sick day from school today. Not only did I not feel like walking from the park-n-ride to class with the -temps, but my Aubs wasn't feeling up to par yet, so I kept her home. Mandatory attendance in pharmacy school is gonna have to deal.

Over the weekend I decided to FINALLY finish painting the living room. I started, oh, several months ago at a minimum, painted one corner, and stopped. Wasn't sure I was willing to commit to a neutral shade (Spice delight, a slightly cozier antique white...) in the living room, and wanted to reflect on my choice....My shade reflection turned into academic chaos and laziness...And as I was thinking about painting the bathroom, I was reminded that I still had 7/8ths of a room to complete...

I think I like it.

I'm not saying that I'm going to paint the rest of the house in shades of "meh", but for the living room, it works. Looks stellar with the trim, windows, and our mismatched hand-me-down couch set.

Random, but I thought I'd share.
