64/365: New Cookbook

First, blogger is being very weird and not wanting to let me post. I'm sure it has nothing to do with earlier events of the evening.

Second, I got this fabulous cookbook in the mail today. The mother of one of Seth's friends found out I was looking for a good pancake recipe and sent this to me. I am so excited to try it out!

63/365: H*ll Week

This is my Mary Poppins bag. Everything I own could probably fit inside it if I tried. It's my go-to bag anytime I travel because it has so many pockets. Recently, it has become my go-to bag for school because well, I practically live at school (and in my car).

The next week is probably one of the most stressful weeks of school yet.

I have a midterm on monday. On wednesday I am going to be interviewed by a law student and on thursday I have an independent study meeting and an in-class presentation. Oh yea, and an interview on friday.

Yikes!

Not to mention all of the reading and preparation that goes into each of those individual activities. This week is going to be hell (yes, I think that is an appropriate use of the word). I actually just wrote down a list of everything I had to do before this time next week and it made me feel less overwhelmed. Only because all of the stuff I have to do is now on paper and not just floating around my brain.

62/365: Encouragement

I ran into Sephora on my way home today and expected it to be a quick in and out trip. Instead I ran into one of my professors from a class I took this summer. Even though the class itself wasn't all that great, I really enjoyed spending time with the professor and my classmates. Running into Anne was really encouraging and she made me feel so much more at ease about the whole interviewing and internship process. Also, Sephora has really cute bags!

61/365: Good Neighbors

Nope, I'm not giving you a recipe for tacos. You can get that off the can :-)

My husband decided he wanted tacos. Problem is we didn't have any taco seasoning and I wasn't going out to buy any. Thanks goodness our neighbors saved the day. Danielle to the rescue! I know that we aren't always going to live next door to such good friends, but I hope that when we move away we become good friends with whoever we live by. Does that even happen anymore? Do people still talk to their neighbors or borrow the occasional cup of sugar?

60/365: Citrus

Oranges. Much more interesting than they seem. For those of you who know my step-mom, you know she's a little on the crazy side and usually doing something unpredictably wacky. When I was in college she sent me a care package with easter themed items and at the bottom was a box of cheerios. Turns out, she had been searching for that box of cheerios for a few days.

When Seth and I were home over the weekend she insisted on sending home "citrus" with us. She kept calling it "citrus" too, not oranges. Every time we would walk out the door or even appear to be leaving she would remind us to get the citrus. Today we actually got into the bag of "citrus" and one of the oranges was moldy. Not just a little moldy, but completely consumed by mold. Just another slightly wacky thing my step-mom has done--send home an obviously moldy orange with me. She might be a little crazy, but she cares. And I'm pretty sure her love language is gift giving.
