adjusted.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you all had lovely weekends! We got some killer rain here Sunday day and night so the roads were totally flooded yesterday morning. I never hit traffic on my way to work and then all of a sudden there were huge backups getting off the highway. Apparently everyone was being re-routed and it just made for a huge mess. Luckily I don't have too far to go to get from my apartment to work and I was going away from the majority of the traffic. Fun start to a Monday, no?

This weekend I saw The Adjustment Bureau with Matt*Damon and Emily*Blunt. I thought it was great! I also love John*Slattery {can't wait for Mad Men to come back on!} I know it was drawing some comparison to Inception {which I still haven't seen, for shame} but I didn't think it was too much of a psychological twister. Just the right amount, if there is such a thing. I definitely recommend it!

I feel like I have fallen into a bit of a blog slump. Everything is starting to sound so repetitive, but I guess thus is life lately with this exam on the horizon. Hopefully life starts to take a more happening turn once the test is over.

it is written.

I saw this on a few other blogs and I wanted to get in on the fun. I think handwriting is often pretty telling as far as the personality of the person behind the writing. Wonder what mine says about me? 

Here are the questions:

1. What's your name / blogger name?
2. What's your blog's URL?
3. Write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
4. Favorite quote?
5. Your favorite song?
6. Your favorite band / singers?
7. Anything else you want to say?
8. Tag 3 - 5 other people.

 Of course I have monogrammed paper, did you expect any different?

I think I am the last person on the planet to realize the significance of the sentence about the fox and the dog... it contains all the letters of the alphabet. I never noticed that before. And I mean it when I say I cannot write in cursive {other than my signature}. I think I blocked it out after so much emphasis put on it in my formative years. Tragic, really. 

and, relax.

The week's end is here folks. We made it. I hope you all have fun things planned. Maybe some spring activities if it is warm where you are? It isn't supposed to be too pleasant out around these parts for the next couple days which is good because I won't be swayed to step away from my studies. My exam is 3 weeks from today, CAN I DO IT?! I really really hope so. I can't decide if I like or loathe the fact that right after I hit submit, the computer screen gives me a pass/fail message. I think I would rather be able to forget about it for a few weeks and then be disappointed. But only happy thoughts for the next three weeks. Regardless of what happens, I will be headed to College Town, PA right after for my exam is over for my alma mater's big Greek Spring weekend bash. At least if I fail I can drown my sorrows in the fratty atmosphere.

bff J and I at said weekend last year. 

we are drinking champagne out of plastic mugs with straws somewhere around 11am. 
i miss college.

I figured I would cap off this week with a third and final link up. Hopefully I will be back to my regular self on Monday find some inspiration over the weekend.

It is Fill in the Blank Friday over at the little things we do!

1.   The phrase or punctuation I overuse most is     my mother has been telling me for years to stop saying 'like'. I never realized how bad it was until recently. And I was like and he was like, it has got to stop. I also say perfect a lot when talking to clients at work? odd.

2.  Today I am thankful for     family, friends, health. 

3.  My best friend is    my mom. I don't think there is anything that I havent told her  or wouldnt be able to tell her. 

4.  A quirky thing about me is     I have this ridiculous fear of drive by shootings. I think about how fast it could happen and how unsuspecting I would be. So absurd. 

5.  This weekend I am    studying until my eyeballs fall out and hopefully taking a break to see The Adjustment Bureau.

6.  Something that worries me is     my future, or rather the uncertainty of it all. I have been struggling with this since I graduated college. I saw college as my last certain thing that I knew was going to take place in life, but I am trying to not worry too much about years and years down the road just yet.

7.  On my night stand you would find    cell phone, lamp, a glass of water, the book The Help, which has been put on a little bit of a hiatus due to probability taking over my life.   

Bon weekend friends!

A little bit of Pink and Green for your Thursday!

For years, I have been telling myself that when I am at a happy weight/size I would invest in a Lilly dress or two, or many. I am still a ways off from my ultimate goal, but I have made progress. I cannot tell you how much I am loving the new spring dresses and how much it makes me long for warmer weather.

 

I looove this dress {don't think it is from the new batch of dresses, but I love it still}. The print makes me so happy and I adore the neckline. Madre did tell me that she would buy me anything I wanted if I pass this exam {22 days uuggghhh} so this just might be the motivation I need {aside from the fact that I need to pass this test to eventually move up in my job? Yea that little chestnut}.

wee bit.

Taking a time out from What's Up Wednesday, to bring you a wee bit about me courtesy of LeighAshley. I have a killer cold so my brain is just too congested to come up with my own material today.

{one} do you wear holey jeans? if so, do you buy them that way?

i have one pair of jeans with a hole in the knee that i bought from abercrombie in high school. i always laugh when i see them in my closet but now they are strictly used as a measuring device because i remember the weight that i was at when they were swimming on me. trying to get back there!

{two} do you get a full 8 hours of sleep per night?

definitely not on the week days. on the weekends, usually.
i am trying to go to sleep earlier but i am such a night owl!

{three} what’s your favorite way to eat an oreo?
dunk the whole thing, let it get a little bit soft and soggy, then enjoy!

{four} do you wear shoes in your house?
the first thing i do when i get home from work is lose the shoes and socks.
i love to be barefoot.

{five} who would you call first if you won the lottery?

my parents.

{six} have you ever been in a food fight?
my sister and i got into a yogurt fight once when we were being babysat.
it was all over the place!

{seven} do you snore?
not usually, but i do if i am sick.

{eight} do you know how fast you type?
somewhere between 60 and 70 words a minute.
if you want to test yourself you can do so here!

{nine} can you do a headstand (without using a wall)?
i haven't in quite sometime but i might still be able to if i tried.

{ten} how do you like your popcorn?

Happy Wednesday!
