Brightened rainy day

I don't mind the rain and there are multiple reasons why it really does not bother me.

For example, it is hydrating the earth, it cleanses the earth, its refreshing and it gives me a good reason to want to stay in bed and read in my pj's instead of going to the library!!

However, I do miss the sun on days where it rains consecutively which is why waking up to this took my breath away:

Just because bright flowers on a rainy day is probably the sweetest thing I have ever received!!!

He is so cute!!

Now my busy day of back to back classes, a meeting and trying to make it home in time to watch Glee will not be so bad♥

Hope everyones day is filled with as wonderful surprises as mine♥

There is nothing wrong with a little retail therapy!!

After my little mini stress freak out, I decided to have an entire mental health weekend and just relax and take a weekend for myself. This is a rare event because I am usually consumed by homework.

So bf and I went:

• Halloween Decoration Shopping
• Grocery Shopping
• To the movies to see The Town [awesome movie]
• and even rented the Harry Potter Lego version video game for xbox 360 [I am such a nerd]

After I decided to look at Forever 21 and see if there was anything cheap that caught my eye.I ended up getting:

Brown Leatherette Bag- I have been eying a soft causal bag like this for a while. I loved this big size and will look great with many outfits.

 

Silver ID Case- I have a ton of discount store cards and never seem to have the right one on me at the right time, so I thought this would help!

I am looking for more dressy shirts now and this is a very cute dressy casual shirt. I love the length and the belt with it!! Was only 13:50!!

Can't wait to get these all soon!!

xoxo!

Currently stuck in a rut.

So I am currently stuck in a rut. I am not sure what is happening but after my partner threw the issue of time in my face, I have become quite stressed out. Today I took a mini mental health day and went Halloween decoration shopping with bf. I love holidays so it really calms me down to go and do something fun like pick out decorations!!

The issue the arose this weekend that has currently caught all of my attention is the other people who live in my apartment. A few apartments down from me are some young students who are so loud. Every Friday and Saturday for the past 4 weeks they have had parties. Now I am not being unreasonable at all. I remember what it was like to have just turned 21 and want to party because that's super cool, but these kids leave their apartment WIDE open music blasting and the constant smell of smoke [the building is smoke free]. 

 Now I know I should go and ask these kids to just shut their door, but honestly I am intimidated that it won't work and then if I go and complain they will know its me.

I seem kind of childish in this, but I was a Resident Advisor for 5 years so I was able to tell people to quiet down, so I have no experience in this at all.

Any advice?

On a happier note!! Today is bf's and my 11 month!! This is quite exciting, as there is only 1 month left until one year!!

To celebrate are going pumpkin and apple picking tomorrow afternoon!! I can't wait!!

Lastly, as some of you may have read my dog was super sick with Lyme disease that spread to his kidneys. Well he is doing much better but still keeping him in our prayers everynight!!

Today while shopping I bought him a cute little Halloween costume!! Mind you. My dog is tiny and since he was shaved from all his IV's for all of his Meds he gets very cold, and since my mom doesn't leave anywhere without him, I felt it was appropriate to get him a warm little costumes!! He is gonna be a cutie little bat!!

xoxo!

Am I being unreasonable? [Input needed]

So as many of you can empathize, I am quite busy. 

On top of graduate school classes, homework, internship and clients, I have work, and my assistantship, plus having an actual relationship with my bf and friends and occasionally eating or sleeping. Please notice that that is eating OR sleeping as having time for both and quite unreasonable. 

So after having 12 hours of internship and class yesterday, from 8am to 8pm,  I was quite tired when I got home. Friday is my day of having no class so if I don't hear from a client wanting to meet or my assistantship, or a classmate asking to get together for a project by around 4pm the Thursday, I try and book  myself some proactive things to do, homework, progress notes, meetings etc. So this time I book a meeting at my internship so I can accumulate some hours so that if I ever get sick I can take some time off. 

So I get home last night make something quick to eat and pass out by like 8:45 [unintentional & thankgoodness my alarm was set!!]

So I wake up at 7am to two e-mails both from a partner I am working on a project with not due until late October. The first sent at like 930pm saying want to work on the project at 8am. The second sent at like 6:45am saying you said you had no class on Fridays I will be there at 8am to work. 

With less than 12 hours of notice and late at night, this person expected me to have nothing planned for Friday and to be able to work with them at the drop of the hat. 

I explained to them that I don't just sit around doing nothing on Fridays and yes I have no class but I remain proactive if no one schedules anything with me, and I need more than 12 hours notice of time to be able to meet up.

Of course this was done in a nicer more professional way I am just venting here.

So tell me am I being unreasonable for asking for more than 12 hours notice when someone wants to work on something?
 
On the bright side. Tomorrow bf & I are going Halloween decoration shopping=]

I am a Gleek!!!

Yes, I am 100% absolutley obsessed with 

Glee. 

Yes it's corny, yes its dramatic, but its fun and it portrays the angst-y teenage stereotypes and cruelty so well.

Are any of you Gleeks!?
If not you should give it a shot, it has a good message about how messed up our societies stereotypes are and how much we impose these upon our children. 
Not to mention Glee is performing Britney next week, so that should be awesome!
I am not normally a big tv watcher, but this week is amazing.

Season premiers of House, Glee & Greys Anatomy. 

My three favorite shows ever!!!
♥ 
On other news, Sunday is bf's and my 11 month!!
Which means only 1 month and 5 days until one year!!
I already gave him part one of his present, a PS3, because I bought it early because of an awesome deal I had and his xbox broke and I just felt bad!!
However, many of you may not know that my boyfriend is a horrible dresser, so every gift giving celebration I buy him some cute clothes.
I don't care how he dresses personally, but I would like to see him wear more than a t-shirt and jeans to a nice holiday dinner!
On top of that I am compiling an adorable scrap book of our first year together♥
I hope he likes it!!
♥
I also started back up with running after my 1/2 marathon. 
This week is dedicated all to 2 mile runs, while I am trying to increase my speed.
I hope to complete my 1/2 marathon next year in about 2 hours!!
♥

So my week is consumed by:

Readings. 
Cilent Work
Internship
Running
& the never ending pile of laundry and dishes that seriously never goes away!!!

I'm not procrastinating... I am just getting inspried.

It is Saturday night and I am currently sitting at my laptop trying to think of some creative way to start my paper on marriage and family counseling. 

I usually do not have any issues trying to begin papers as introductions seem to just flow into my head quite nicely.

But this time is different. Perhaps it is because this is the first paper I have had to write this semester. Or perhaps it is because I would rather be having fun with my friends right now dressed up in a cute outfit. Either way I am trying not to procrastinate, I am just stuck with one lonely sentence written upon a very blank word document. 

My solution?

Blog!

♥

My love of this fall is above the knee boots.

Paired with above the knee socks.

I have seen several pairs of above the knee boots on multiple blogs, in magazines and on television shows and just have fallen in love with them right away. 

Adding this to my love of the fall, I headed out to the mall yesterday in hopes to find the perfect pair of above the knee boots for a good price. 

After looking at several store and almost giving up. I decided to check in Sears. I don't I have shopped at Sears since I was about 13 years old, but my hopes were up and I figured I'd check every show store before I settled on having to head online!

Well, I showed myself wrong because after heading to the shoe department, I saw the perfect pair of above the knee boots.

I will have another picture to post tomorrow when I actually where them out [this was just me trying them on with my above the knee socks when I got home].

I love them and they are quite comfortable, but I will be walking around town tomorrow, so I will let you all know what they are like after being worn!!

xoxo.

and 12.5 hours later, I am finally home..

Thursdays are a ridiculously busy day. 

I have eight hours of internship and eight hours of class and only a fifteen minute break inbetween and that is how long it takes me to drive form one building to the next.

So as you may imagine I am exhausted right now! 

I am however, also fairly upset tonight was palm readers at my college [free for students] and although I don't really buy into the whole thing, my roommate swears by them. 

So after class we head over to the campus center to get out palm read & the line was soooo ridiculously long. With the amount of energy that I barley had left I had to leave and save that energy to drive all the way home and actually eat something. So I am bummed because even though I don't believe too much in palm readers it is stil really fun to do!!

What do you guys think,
  do you buy the hype, or do you think its fake?

After seeing some talk of the website LuLu's on Amy Stwearts page, I decided to head on over and check out their dresses. I arrive on the page and wow, how has this site been holding out on me!! They had such beautiful and fun things for cheap prices.

So I picked up these little numbers:

  I also found a discount code for 15% off. Which if anyone wants let me know!!

I love the sheer long sleeve of the dress and the gray strapless underneath!!! I am thinking that this will most likely be the dress I wear out on New Years Eve!!! 

I have also always been in to angle wings. I have always wanted big angel wings tattooed on my back, but I would never get them, just always thought it looks so meaningful!!

♥

Lastly I have three pieces of good news I would like to share with you all, because lets get serious, I love my bloggy friends!!

1) I got a 100% on my quiz today!!!

2) My dog is still doing well and the vet said he is hoping by this time next year he will be back to normal!!! So keep sending your good thoughts and prayers this way.

3) I am thinking about running another half marathon in october!!

eeep!!!

xoxo.

ps. Jay asked me to do some hair tutorials on some of the braids I put into my hair, is there any other interest out there to see that!?
