Today was quite possibly the laziest day of summer vacation so far. I barely left my apartment today and I'm not ashamed. I did escape for a visit to the Y and a couple of hours spent catching up with Diane at Olive Garden. For the rest of the day I've watched multiple episodes of such TV hits as I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant, Say Yes to the Dress, ( Read more... )

7 months till Christmas!!

I proudly announced this to my classes today and I was met with blank stares. "Shouldn't you be counting down to the last day of school, Miss Parrish??!?" Oh, if only they knew. I've practically counted the hours until I get to start my summer break. With only 7 school days left, I'm simply trying to keep my head above the ( Read more... )

This has been the slowest. week. ever. Usually when I've got a lot of activity in my plans outside of school, life goes by more quickly. I don't know what the deal is, but it feels like it's been forever since I spent the afternoon at Drowsy Poet, sipping Milton milkshakes with Lyndsay. But apparently that was only a week ago. As was my discovery ( Read more... )

Why can't filing taxes be an easier process to complete on your own?

Yesterday, I was about to go for a walk when Dad called, asking me to come over so we could go ahead and take care of my taxes (I almost forgot about them!). Killing two birds with one stone, I decided to walk to my parents' house to get the job done. TurboTax was up and ready to ( Read more... )

We've got Olympic Fever here at the apartment! I've been thankful for all these snow days so I can sit around watching as much as possible before going back to school (today). I caught some curling (a personal favorite), hockey, alpine skiing, pairs figure skating, the luge, cross country.. I always feel so inspired. Growing up watching the ( Read more... )

Just when I thought Insanity was out of control as it is, we start Month 2, and.. wow.. I'm missing Month 1 workouts already. It took about 45 minutes to summon the strength to get out of bed this morning, so it's a good thing I'm enjoying my 7th snow day in a row. Last night, not only did we have to do our 3rd Fit Test, but we started the Max ( Read more... )

Tonight, I'm planted in front of the TV watching a rotation of reality shows. I'm having a hard time fully investing interest in America's Best Dance Crew, What Not to Wear, and old episodes of Project Runway. This is what my life has become after spending the entire day trapped in my apartment with no human contact.

This whole week has been about ( Read more... )
