Hot Coco Talk

 

I first spotted Ashley's Thursday Thoughts post a while back, and I was interested. I love reading about other people's lives so I thought I would talk a little about me today. I really am new to this blog thing. :)

FEELING: A little tired but for the most part relaxed. There is a lot of stuff I want to get done with at school today and before I go to my other job at Athleta. My two jobs keep me fairly busy so sometimes when I get home I just want to crash and not do anything other than read or play games on my ipad so I have to maximize my day during work. I also want to spend time with my husband. Tonight he works until after 1 AM so when I get off work I'll have the night to myself. 

LISTENING TO: Bill Nye the Science Guy video on skin in my class. Yes I am multi-tasking while the students are watching. This is now my third time today seeing it.

THANKFUL FOR: My hubs. He had a busy day yesterday but he still had time to come snuggle with my while I was going to bed. Yes I go to bed before him. He's a total night owl and I have to get up WAY to early to stay up late anymore. I'm grateful that he works so hard for our family. He works two jobs, goes to school and is the head coach of a high school hockey team. What a man. ;) (He would hate me bragging about him.)

THINKING ABOUT: Sending out Valentine's Day cards. I love getting snail mail and have friends all over the US so I want to send a little love to them while we are all in different areas. Ps Alan HATES Valentine's Day. He thinks it's a commercial holiday for boyfriends who don't treat their girlfriends bad the whole year and then spoil them one day. He says he loves and spoils me all year round.

EATING: Right now I just finished eating a cheese stick and a Pure Protein chocolate peanut butter bar. It was a nice snack. I am trying to eat better so this was pretty tasty. I have lunch coming up in an hour then it will be salad and a chicken sandwich. Tomorrow I get to go catch up with two of my besties for lunch at Cheesecake Factory. I am going to get either the Renee's special because I love it or a salad with dressing on the side. I know no one wanted to know that. lol.

WATCHING: Tonight when I get home from work I am going to pull up my Hulu Plus and watch Vampire Diaries. I hear it's a really good episode. This weekend when Alan and I get time together we will watch Arrow. A new fav for me and he has liked it for awhile. It's awesome. I also have two episodes of Reign to watch. That show is a little addicting but then I'm a little torn about it. I haven't decided what to make out of it. I'll probably pick up one of my books to read until Alan gets home. 

LOVING: I'm loving books right now. I just want to read and keep reading. I have read some really good books recently and then some not so good ones. I'm still at that point where I have to read the whole book just to see if it gets better. It's a little sad. I also am loving the sunny weather. It's not super warm but hey it's something.

Thursday Thoughts

I'm linking up with  Jennifer of Ramblings of a Suburban Mom. She cracks me up every day so I thought I would do my own Thursday Thoughts.




1. When you are going to sluff a class don't go talk to the teacher right before you have her class. I had a student right before school come talk to me and then she didn't show up to my class not even 5 minutes later. Don't worry the cop busted her and another student of mine.

2. Candy Crush- Such a bad and good addiction at the same time. It is a nice way to just shut off my brain for a little bit and do nothing. Can't complain about that.

3. I'm excited for dinner tonight with some of my dear girlfriends. They are sisters and I met Jenaya while we were both dating friends. The relationships with the boys didn't work out but our friendship has stayed strong. I got to become friends with her sister Jess through Jenaya and I'm so grateful.  Blue lemon here we come!! Get some yummy food in my belly.

4. Snow I didn't think you were going to happen today so I wore Toms and drove our little Sentra and gave the 4 wheel drive to my husband. Well balls. Guess I'll have wet feet while I go run all my errands. I have to meet hubby for an appointment, dinner with my pals, returning/exchanging stuff to Ulta from Christmas and picking up books from the library. Side note I love the public library. I own a kindle and I don't mind using that or my ipad to read a book but there is just something about turning the pages in an actual book. There are some really good ones out/coming out. Read the Vampire Diaries and Bloodlines series.

5. Oh my birthday is coming up on Sunday. I'll be 28. I can't say that I'm super excited this year. I did buy myself a few presents some of which were subscription boxes. I got dottie mini, pijon box and golden tote. I want to get a few more. Whoops. I really want to get Kelly Rowland and Jennifer Love Hewitt from Fancy. I just can't pull the trigger because of the price. But I am really contemplating it. Ahh. Oh how these boxes get me every month. I really need to crack down and not get some. I want to save more money this year but these boxes kill me and all the reviews everyone gives. I love them. Golden Tote

New Year Same Me

I've been going round and round reading people's blogs, tweets and facebook posts about their new years resolutions but for me I can only think of one thing.

I need to look forward instead of behind me. There are so many things in my life that drive me crazy but I have amazing things in my life too. I don't want the negative things to hold me back so I am choosing to look at the positive things and work towards looking at the future instead of living in the past. I want to be present and take in all the joy that I am blessed with.

I want to enjoy all the time I have with my job of teaching 12/13 year olds all day, working for a athletic clothing company with friends, being with my husband. I want to cherish every moment I have with him. Our lives our so busy that I want to enjoy the small things. I also want to take time out for me even if it's only a few minutes per day.
