Under attack

Sorry I've been hiding.  I've been under attack.  Pollen is so annoying.  Grass pollen.  Tree pollen.  It doesn't matter.  It all sucks.
Hopefully I'll feel like writing something great once I can breathe without the help of twenty medications.  


Bleh.

Monday Blues...

Yep...I got 'em.  The post-spring break, it's cloudy and cold, busy office day, Monday Blues.  And it stinks because they won't get better at 5pm, when others will be heading out of the office, because I'll be on my way to class for FOUR hours tonight.  And even though it's the first class session, I'm pretty sure we'll be there until 10 because we had a reading assignment to do before class started.
Yep...Monday Blues.  Did I mention she's banned cellphones from the class?  Seriously?  We're in graduate school...I should be able to multi-task enough to listen and participate in the discussion while updating my facebook or sending out a tweet about how tired I am!  I mean, what if there's an emergency.  What if the world is coming to an end but none of us know about it because we can't have our cell phone on.  Some people in my class actually have children, jobs that require them to be on call...I mean, it's feasible that I would get a call about a student at night.  Just ridiculous.  


Any who...I'm excited about some things this week.  We have a 31 Monogram party at the ADPi house to benefit Ronald McDonald House on Wednesday, dinner with a super wonderful friend on Thursday, a ballet with other amazing friends on Friday, ADPi Yard Sale on Saturday, with a birthday celebration for the bro on Saturday night or Sunday afternoon...whichever I have the energy for!  It's an exciting week if only this whole work/school thing wasn't in the way.  But then again, I like a paycheck to help fund these adventures.


Also, my mom and I came up with a wonderful baby/retirement plan.  We think once I have a baby and won't want to really work (just in theory, don't freak out, I'm sure I'll still be working) and she will retire so she can move closer to hypothetical baby (she did tell me it's her dream to met her grandbabies when they get off the bus every afternoon, although I haven't informed her that my kids will be car riders bc too much stuff happens on a bus!).  With this plan, we will still need some income...so we will start an interior decorating business for any homes, but mountain and lake homes specifically.  She even started researching if there would be classes available.  She's so silly...and brilliant.  Thus, I could be with my baby or mom could, we would get to be creative and have great hours and still have Wesley working to have health insurance :)  If only it would work.  I would love it.  And so would my mom.


Well, in the sports front, UGA is going to play basketball on Thursday and have spring football practice.  UGA hoops are still on the bubble for NCAA tournament, I think Louisville is in, and the Braves are doing pretty well in spring training.  
I wish I had more time for sports right now, but no go.  Too much school and work.  Waaaaaa!  
But prayers do get sent out for UGA baseball player who hurt his neck on Sunday.  Hopefully all will be well!


Until next time...Go DAWGS!

Spring Break!

So in 2.5 hours I will officially be on Spring Break 2011.  It doesn't have the same feel to it as it did when I actually went to college, but I certainly appreciate it!
Since I work at a college, my President graciously gives us Thursday and Friday off to enjoy the mental break.  And I must say, the past three days of "work" have been wonderfully quiet...no students on campus = very quiet.  Except, I'm really bored now.  Thanks to Hulu, I've caught up on my television shows and I've even read a lot of magazines that we have laying around.  It's so bad, I'm about to start reading some material from my new class that starts Monday night.  Scary.


But, I think for this post, I just want to list somethings that I would never get tired of or bored of...so here we go:


- The beach...as long as there are no hurricanes, floods or oil
- Hearing "I love you" from my close friends and family
- Having my puppies snuggle with me
- Sweatpants (but only in the comfort of my own house!)
- Sweet Tea
- Rainbow sandals
- Movies
- Good, girlie books, with romance
- Good food
- Chocolate
- Having Wesley hold my hand (well, unless my hand gets clammy or sweaty, gross)
- Acoustic music
- Wood burning fire
- Fresh flowers


Right now, I would love to be on a beach, with my nook, a mojito, my dogs and the Hubs.  That would be grand!


Alright...can't forget that Georgia plays basketball tonight...Senior Night!  Go Dawgs!

a new month...a new post

Yay!!!!!!!  I'm blogging again!  Basically, I have a ton of things going on in my life, but I want this to be for "me time" so here we go.


It's March 1st.  2011 is flying by.  I've finished one and a half semesters of graduate school and have 2 A's and 1 B so far.  Not too shabby.


I am in love with my hubby and our three hairy babies...Dixie, Boss and Bella.  Chill...they're dogs.  And I love our little life.


Georgia's behaving in the off-season and even with some coaching changes and student-athletes transferring and whatnot, there's still a bright fall ahead.  Call me optimistic if you will...because I am.  As bad as my dawgs may play, they are still my team.  And I'm a fan.  And the basketball team is improving and that's always a bonus!


Braves spring training is up and running.  I love baseball.  Cute guys, tight pants, good food.  I can't wait to go to a few games.  But I also can't wait to turn them on Sunday afternoons to be the soundtrack to an awesome spring nap :)


I guess that's all for now.


Yay for blogging!  Go Dawgs!
