Dear Friday, I love you.

We should do this more often.

But really.

Don't get me wrong, it's been a crazy day, and it's not even noon. This weekend is basically a marathon, working, superbowling, and studying (apparently I have another test and presentation due next week...)

Either way, I'm glad it's Friday. It's dress down day, even! I swear, class is a LOT less painful in a hoodie and jeans.

This weekend, I have some ambitious projects to finish up. OK, maybe not that ambitious. Last weekend I spent some time prioritizing and collecting supplies for my projects. I decided my needs were..
1. A pencil holder: My desk, which I LOVE is getting super beat up. I think having writing utensils in an accessible (and adorable) place will help save wear and tear on my top drawer, which has developed a squeak. Of course, this is a process, I'll have to clean out and organize the drawers, the top of desk chaos, soap the drawers so they don't squeak, then cute-en it up and plant it on the clean desk....
2. New Art: Now that my living room is (almost) painted, I think it's time for a wall wear upgrade. Bought some canvases and decided it's time to use up the random paints to make some wall art happen.
3. New bag: I could always use a new bag. Goal, is have it done by spring break. Got some clearance corduroy (I wanted enough of one fabric to make the most of it, and my fabric bins are currently being held hostage in a hostile environment), this weekend I'll draw the pattern.

I know, it's a little silly to have 3 concurrent projects. During last week's blog hop, I saw so many adorable posts, with before and after pics, processes, etc. Loved it. But realistically, I just don't have the space, patients, or chunk of time to get things done in a process fashion, at least, yet. (Hobby room IS on the horizon!) So, I'm starting 3 small but needed projects now, so when I want to work on something I can pick up whatever works for the space and time I have.

So, happy weekend all :) And I'll update this with pics when I get home, to at least show the "before" shots...

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!
