Optimistic & Lackadaisical || Weekly Finds 3.22.15


 || Spring Fever ... You're here, but where's the Spring? ||

I'm ready for this to be over. I'm ready to feel empowered again and in charge and ready to break barriers and soar to new heights. I'm ready to feel like the world is at my fingertips again. Maybe it's just the week -- too much drama, not enough balance. Maybe it's just my attitude -- eh. Maybe it's feeling like there are a million things on my to-do list, and I'm too overwhelmed to do them -- cue the shutdown. No matter what it is, I've watched all the shows I can, I've procrastinated enough, and even though the sun hasn't come out in days (metaphorically & literally), it's time I put my big girl panties on and face my life head on. So who's ready to get down to business? Anyone? Everyone? Thought so ;-). Maybe I'll have some coffee first, though. Here's some links to hold you over ---

Speaking of shows what's in your Netflix queue?

In a Blink the World Changes || 2.20.15

 || Friday, Saturday, & Sunday ||

What????!!!! Only two weeks left until spring break? Time. Flies. So. Quickly. I mean don't hold your breath or anything, but wow, so much happens in the blink of an eye -- maybe that's why I haven't been sleeping much/well. Food for thought. What are you doing this weekend? My mom's coming to visit (!!!!!!!!!) and she's bringing the puppies and I am too excited to care about grammar or correct vocab usage. She's attending an event with me tonight --- yay dress shopping, and it's nice to see her after everything that's happened over the last 6 days.
