Sick Day

So it finally happened...I got sick. I had been lucky all winter but it finally hit me today. Luckily I didn't have too many things scheduled for work so I took the day off. 

I've watched Definitely, Maybe

...and The Blind Side

which are both awesome movies. It was nice to lay around for a while. 

My dad came by. He is probably the most wonderful dad in the whole world. He was coming up just to drop off an old prom dress that I wanted to donate, but he brought about a month's worth of groceries. I'm going to be eating well for a while! 

I found some pictures that are making my yucky day a little better...

In need of a vacation

Well, we're back to the icky weather. Cold, cold, cold rain. It is so dreary that I actually have my lights on in my office, which probably like the fourth time I've turned them on all year. I would much rather have the sun light up the room.

I'd love to run away to somewhere warm right now. Somewhere that had one of these...

Yes, please

Thank You

I want to take the time to thank the people who inspired me to start blogging. Since I don't want to get too much into my personal life on here, I stay away from specifics and actual events and just write about how I'm feeling. I think this has really made me pay attention to my reactions to things and how I handle different aspects of my life.

Gratitude

So, thank you!

I am so happy to have flowers in my apartment. I went out the other day and saw some pretty ones so I bought them to bring some springtime in (and I got to put them in my new vase from Anthropologie...bonus!!).

Then my dad came on Friday and brought me some roses for Valentines Day.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Valentines Day but I am having a great day. My weekend was full of friends.

Yesterday I had dinner with my students. It was great. I made some heart shaped cupcakes for them.

Today I took the day off of work (it had nothing to do with the fact that it was Valentine's Day) and the weather was perfect. I was able to get a lot done and now I feel relaxed again.

I hope you're all having a love-filled day!
