My Accomplishments

Happy Memorial Day!
 
As you can see, I'm celebrating by being at work. As we don't get the day off...so sad. Especially in light of the fact that there are TV-a-thons that I am missing as I type this. Sad
 
So, in lieu of bbq-ing, I have decided to share a list of 5 things that I have accomplished over the past few weeks. Enjoy!
  1. Cross-Stitch Project #3 (for 2008) is complete. And I have already started on Project #4.
  2. Finished reading book #25 (for 2008). The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a good book. Just took longer for me to read than normal due to the fact that I got distracted by shiny things.
  3. Started watching Season 3 of The Muppet Show. I picked up a copy of it on DVD last week.
  4. Made it through the weekend without ordering Domino's at all. Actually, didn't go out for a meal all weekend. Hot
  5. Planned out most of my trip home. Honestly, I won't have much time to myself.

Stress and the Single Girl

 
Life is a tad stressful in the world of Me at the moment.
 
Most of the stress is work related.
 
Most of the stress is positive.
 
Most of the stress I brought upon myself.
 
Most of the stress will be gone before I go home in July.
 
As such, the number of 'real' blogs (i.e., blogs that are more than 5 bullet points) will be minimal for awhile. Sorry. It's just the easiest thing to remove from my plate for the moment.
 
<sigh>

Searching for...

 
  • Motivation. I have learned that I am at my most productive between the hours of 7AM and noon. Not a good thing when I need to be at work unitl at least 4:30 PM.
  • Patience. I need to work with other's schedules, rather then try to force my agendas on them. And the fact that I need to talk myself into finishing Cross-Stitch Projext #3 simply due to the fact that there's a bit of back-stitching...just proves how sad I have become.
  • Ideas for SD Trip 2008. Only thing 'planned' at the moment is hitting Nutty's on the July 11. The rest of the week is currently open. Until my parents make plans, of course.
  • Roach spray. Due to last week's rain, the roaches are out. And gross. And need to be sprayed. Or something.
  • A robot and/or helper monkey. Honestly, should I have to walk all the way across the street to get a cup of coffee?
  • Groceries. The jumpin' husker apartment is getting kinda low on the rations. I mean almost to grad school proportions
  • A life. Seriously? Remember when I used to blog about real things. Not just randomness? Oh, those were the days, my friends.

5 Quick Things

 
  1. Seriously. It needs to stop raining.
  2. I Red heart The Office. Although, Jim and Pam are a bit too cute for their own good.
  3. I have the lyrics to this song in my head. I blame my sister.
  4. Tis graduation day here at LSU. Thus it has been rather quiet. I enjoy the quiet.
  5. Less than 7 weeks until I'm back in the midwest.

5 Quick Things

  1. I am overly excited that How I Met Your Mother is coming back for a fourth season. Maybe the curse of "Me Liking a Show, So It Gets Cancelled After Three Seasons" has been broken?
  2. I have walked to work every day this week. Yay exercise! Now, I just need to work on the whole eating better thing...
  3. Travel arrangements have been finalized for my SD trip. I will be flying to Sioux Falls on July 3, and flying back to Baton Rouge on July 13. The itinerary for debauchery should follow shortly.
  4. Thanks to Becky, I am now addicted to the flair application on facebook. Not that I didn't already have facebook addiction issues as it was.
  5. Starbucks is calling my name. I shouldn't ignore that place for much longer, as I really do need a caffeine fix this morning. I didn't sleep well last night. Darn thinking...I should really stop doing that...

5 Quick Things

 
  1. I celebrated Mother's Day by watching a Eureka-a-thon on the Sci-Fi Channel.
  2. Cross-Stitch Project #2 for 2008 is complete. About 1/3 of the way done with Project #3.
  3. I am kinda lame.
  4. Yay! For the Lady Huskers coming in second in the Big 12 softball tournament. Not bad for a 10th-seeded team.
  5. My office building is eerily quiet now that the students are gone.

I suck at life, and other bulleted items

First of all, I am genuinely sorry for not having blogged that often as of late. But, alas, no matter how controlling (I am an ISTJ afterall) I try to be, I cannot seem to find the magical button that makes life easy. Or at least not that busy.
 
Secondly, I really haven't been up to too much as of late...as it is the last few weeks of school. So, I'm just finishing up reports for the 2007-08 academic year, planning for the 2008-09 academic year and cursing the 2009-2010 academic year. Yup. Already looking ahead to 2009. Sadly enough.
 
Well, here's a quick and dirty up date of the past few weeks of my life. Enjoy!
 
Movies - This past weekend I watched 27 Dresses on DVD. Very cute movie. Kinda made me want to help plan a wedding (hint, hint - either my sister or MoSus). I think that I may try watching No Country for Old Men tonight. Seems to be a perfect fit for the kind of day I've had. (Long story, not one to be shared via the interweb.)
 
Reading - I finally finished reading Lullabies for Little Criminals. It's a good book. Just had to be in the right frame of mind to read about teenagers selling themselves on the streets for attention and drug money. Now I'm working on another Laurie R. King book. I need a little mystery in my life.
 
Weather - It's been gorgeous out as of late. On Saturday, I enjoyed celebrating the 1-year anniversary of the birth of my boss' child at her house. We also celebrated the Kentucky Derby. It was nice to get out with work friends and not talk about work. For a change.
 
Psych - Officially finished watching the first season on DVD. I definitely love the show. And the main actors. Which causes dirty, dirty thoughts to happen.
 
Change - Once again a lot of change is happening around me. Not directly to me. But it's close enough to cause a little minor panic (at the disco). Hopefully, once the dust settles I'll be able to share more. Also, I have a lot of loose change in my desk again. I see a visit to the Coinstar in my near future.
 
SD Trip - Hope to have my tickets purchased by tomorrow (dang airlines are expensive!). The plan is to fly back to SD on July 3, and fly back to Louisiana on July 13. Contact me if you want to join in the fun that is Me in SD. I think there are already plans to visit Nutty's on July 11.
 
Guilty Pleasure - Yup. Totally addicted to Gossip Girl now. Dangnabbit!
