Thursday Shenanigans

Hey dears! It's Thursday! Also, there are less than TWO weeks until my birthday. Luckily for you, you still have plenty of time to get me a birthday present. ;)

In other news, I have plans to be extremely productive this weekend. I know I've said that a lot in the past, but I really believe that to be true. So...without further ado: some Thursday Things. (aka SHENANIGANS!)

• I was fairly tame in college. No extreme late nights, no crazy parties. It seems that I might be making up for that now. This is difficult because I'm older and my body needs sleep more than it did as a 20-year old co-ed. ha. Life is fun.

• Solider Boy is the sweetest future boyfriend a girl could ask for. I'm so glad he's my friend right now.

• I danced in the parking lot in the rain last night. It was amazing. :-)

• Tonight I get to go to Blue Tango. I LOVE Blue Tango. Seriously, if you're anywhere close to Cougartown and have a love for dancing, then you need to get your butt there pronto. It's great fun.

• Tomorrow I get to go to Ft. Douglas. I've never been there!

• Also tomorrow I'm going to the temple w/my bestest roommate, Roommate R! :o) I'm rather excited to be there with her tomorrow.

• I went to a really good Thai restaurant last night. It was nummy. 

• My trainer is pretty fantastic. He has made me find muscles I didn't even know existed. My inner thighs? They are sore. :P

• My hair is getting REALLY long and I LOVE it. :o) It's great.

• I already have an idea of the epic summer adventures I'm going to have - it's going to be one GREAT summer. :o)

• Finally, here's a list of everything else I'd like to get done (there's a TON more I WANT to get done, but I'm trying to be realistic here)

• clean off bottom of night stand
• clean out and clean off cedar chest
• clean bathroom (maybe. still debating this one. ;) )
• Update St. Patty's day wreath for door.
• Decorate for St. Patty's day
• Start to make (maybe do the whole thing?) my new bag for Disneyland
• Make a spring table runner
• clean out fridge
• clean out pantry - organize it!

• Sounds do-able right? right. :o)

Have a great weekend everybody!

My Favorite Kind of Thursday

• Today is my favorite kind of Thursday: the kind where I don't have to work tomorrow. AKA it's my FRIDAY!!!! 

• HUZZAH!!!!

• Can you tell I'm really excited about having the day off tomorrow?

• I have a very long list of things to do in the next three days, but I'm so excited!

• Not one of those things has anything to do with any boy....but I'm okay with that!

• Are you ready?

• I'm going to the temple, the gym, and Color Me Mine.

• I also am going to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables, rehearse 2 ballet companies and watch BYU Football.

• I'm going to clean my room, the bathroom and organize my kitchen.

• I'm also going to do some dinner prep, make cookies, and eat something from a crockpot.

• Tonight I'm going to teach ballet, go dancing, and flirt with cute boys.

• I plan on sleeping in tomorrow morning, eating some good food, and enjoying some "me" time.

• I REALLY hope I can get my to-do list done. I have high hopes and a time schedule for said list. Hopefully it works out a-okay. ;)

• I went to the dentist yesterday. Hate the dentist. I have cavities. grrr. This means I have to go back. sigh. One of these days I'll actually make it through a 6-month check-up without having to go back again for another 6-months. 

• Yesterday was my half-birthday. Nothing of note happened.

• I want cupcakes.

What are YOU doing this weekend?

Wishes for the Weekend

So I am sitting at work with a brain that is fried. I have a ton of data entry to deal with and I'm not looking forward to it. I am really tired because I went dancing last night, but I'm totally okay that that. I LOVE dancing and I needed the relaxing, fun evening with friends.

So...my wishes for the weekend:

• warmth. I'm not getting this wish seeing as how the next 3 days is supposed to be unseasonably cold with a Hard frost on Sunday morning. Not fun guys, not fun. The good news is that as of right now it's supposed to be BEAUTIFUL next week. Let's hope that holds true.

• I'm wishing for a calm, relaxing weekend. I have little to no plans this weekend and I'm very excited about this because I need some calm "me-time" to get some of my to-do list done. We'll see how that goes.

• I want to go see my friends' baby. She was born yesterday (4 weeks early!) and I am so happy for my friend.

• I am hoping my pot roast dinner on Sunday night turns out.

• While I am excited to have "me-time" this weekend, I also want to play with friends. I do have some plans for this evening...but I'm hoping to see some friends tomorrow night as well. Guess we'll see what happens.

I'm sure there are several other wishes for my weekend, but seeing as how I'm running on limited brain power right now and all of that brain power is being used for work we'll stop there. I hope you all have a splendid weekend. Loves!

Bravery

Sometimes I pretend to be brave and sometimes I am ACTUALLY brave.

Saturday I pretended to be brave, but yesterday - yesterday I was actually brave.

Yesterday after my church meetings and after choir I introduced myself to a new guy in the ward. I talked to him for a long time and I feel like we clicked just a little bit. I felt so good about myself for getting my flirt on and what not. GO ME!

Also, I was brave yesterday because I initiated an online conversation with SwingKid. This is the first time that we've had a real-time conversation in eight weeks and it was good. I held my breath a couple of times, but overall it was good.

I am excited for today - if only because the countdown to the show begins. :o) The next 10 days are going to be busy. I have a laundry date with my sister, a temple trip to make, friends to see, dentist appointments to make,  a couple hours of rehearsal (we still have to finish our piece! EEK!), a Winter-een-mas party, a Saturday FULL of rehearsals and then a show to present. It is going to be a full week and I am excited for it.

don't mind me...

I'm just trying to get through the work day! I am SO SO SO excited about my weekend plans! They all start at about 6 pm tonight...and the fun will just continue on through most of Saturday. :o)

anywho...It's thursday! So that means....

1. It is my 3-day weekend. This makes my heart super happy. I have a bazillion things going on and that also makes me happy.
2. Today I get to go to my BEST friend's wedding. Also on the docket for today is rehearsal (2.5 weeks to show guys! EEK!) and Blue Tango dancing. 
3. Tomorrow has many things going on including going to the Temple with sister B, taking a ballet class, cleaning my house, and going on a blind date.
4. I haven't been on a blind date since CPM. I'm a little nervous.
5. Pair my busy schedule with Sweetums' busy schedule and you get chaos. We've talked and tried to get together this week to no avail. Makes me sad. Hopefully next week will treat us both a little bit better.
6. I haven't logged into Facebook while at work since January 1. I am awesome. It has been hard, but SO GOOD for me.
7. My CTR ring is not fitting my finger very well right now. It's a little on the big side. I think my fingers have lost weight.
8. Is that possible? do fingers lose weight?
9. The receptionist came back EARLY! I thought she was going to be gone until MONDAY.  Thank goodness. I hate covering for her.
10. Finally, I'm still thinking about birthday party ideas. Right now I am leaning towards a Super Hero birthday party. What do you think?

Wow. My brain has a lot of thoughts right now! The funny thing is, that's only like...a small portion of them! :o) Anyways. I hope you all have a splendid Thursday, a wonderful weekend, and I'll be sure to keep you posted on how everything pans out! Happy Day!
