I’m finally figuring out what it’s like to have my life back after grad school. What it’s like to have time to do fun stuff and not just catch up on house work and school projects.  Friday I met some Australian race car drivers. Saturday we explored Zilker Botanical Gardens and sweated like crazy before noon. I was revived by Shady Grove and a nap.  Sunday I met the MBA BFF for brunch and a late graduation gift exchange. Then had a play date at Louis Vuitton with my sister from another mister and finished a book. I just got back from paying a stupid ticket I got for following too close to another vehicle.  It’s a relatively uneventful week for me, but if I can get through this week then it’s Beach Weekend 2013!

It is well known around these parts that I am the worst morning person ever. Working in an office full of morning people, I’ve learned a few lessons over the years to help me adjust. Get plenty of sleep Eat breakfast Lots of caffeine And probably the most important for me: jam out on the drive to the office!  My mandatory hype song of the moment Blurred Lines. It’s the suitable for work version if you want to watch the video. I am obsessed with this song. It doesn’t hurt that Robin Thicke is pretty hot either!  Happy Friday!

  1. Get plenty of sleep
  2. Eat breakfast
  3. Lots of caffeine

Reservations have been made for a Portland/Seattle trip in July!  I had a nice long to do list for the weekend, at 1:19 this afternoon I marked one thing off of it. I made a nice haul at JCP yesterday and a grand total of $20 was paid thanks to coupons and gift cards. The countdown is officially on for Beach Weekend 2013. Seventeen days in case you were wondering. Today for lunch I had mozzarella sticks AND cheddar poppers, what of it?

This is my fifth Mother’s Day on tumblr, and I typically lay low because this holiday is difficult for me. This year needs to be different though, so… Solidarity for those of us who will not, should not, or cannot speak with our mothers today, and boundless appreciation for the mothers among our family and friends who teach us through simple observation how selfless and strong mothers can be. Thank you for mothering us, too
