The Only 2 Things "It's Ok" To Do Today!
Happy Thursday!
Thursday, March 15, 2012
It's Ok Thursday!
Hiiiiiii y'alllllllll!
I have been so exhausted this week and I just can't wait for the weekend! I'm going to {finally} sleep in, do some babysitting and just plain RELAX for a little bit. Oh yeah, and clean my HUGE mess of a room.
In the mean time I am linking up for It's Ok Thursday!
It's Ok...
...that I was "that girl' who listened to the meteorologist today who was WRONG about the temperature. Shorts in the rain isn't fun.
...that I'm not afraid to admit I am still scared of lightning. You will never see me run so fast than when I have to get from point A to point B outside when there is lightning. (At least I've gotten past the point of just sitting in the car like I did when my mom would go in the house fine and dandy and leave me to make a break for it.)
...that I gave my borderline anorexic roommate the water bill amount on piece of my "Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake" note pad. Just trying to offer some nonchalant advice.
...that my March Madness involvement goes as far as filling out a mascot bracket. Who would win in a battle? I have the Grizzlies as 2012 champs. No idea what team that is...
...that in all seriousness, I will watch (and cheer on) Lehigh tomorrow when they play against Duke. Hey...anything could happen!
...to take study breaks every now and again, and by study breaks I mean "search for proposal/wedding entrance/surprise solider homecoming/cute baby youtube videos" breaks.
...to want EVERYTHING from Sweet Tea Paperie. That is the truth.
...that I'm just now getting back into a workout routine. Mom and I have planned a weekly her walk/I run evening on the Huckleberry. Now I just need to choose a race to plan for :)
...to be so confused yet so intrigued by the 35 tons of snow they are plopping on our drillfield today for a ski and snowboard competition. I'm going to try and sneak a peek.
...to feel so out of the loop because I haven't read The Hunger Games yet :( I own the first two, I just need to find time to read!
...that I'm still unpacking from Spring Break...it's a lengthy process.
...to already have summer plans on my mind :) only 8 more weeks of school!
Time to go fight through the rain and head to work!
Speaking of which, I am so glad to be back at work - going a whole week without seeing the kids was weird!
However, the little welcome back hugs made it worth it.
Yesterday I planned some St. Patrick's Day crafts and games to do with them, including this one that was so much fun:
I got a little teary-eyed when I read what some of the kids put!
Happy Thursday!

It's OK Thursday :)
Happy (gorgeous) Thursday!
It's OK...
...that on my way out the door this morning, I had a girl scout cookie to tide me over for the hour.
...to be dreading the day that I'm out of caramel delites.
...that today's forecast is 70 degrees...yeah, that's definitely OK!
...to consider a trip to Frosty Parrot my dairy and fruit serving of the day.
...that, when making my Lenten promises, I totally forgot that this means I'll need to wait until Sunday to watch Saturday Night Live! shoot.
...(not) that for The Bachelor FINALE I'm going to be in CA...aka the east coast is already going to know who Ben chooses before me...I'm going to stay far, far away from social media that day.
...that I'm mostly concerned with where the Starbucks are located in California.
...to be overly excited about your dog's birthday. Sadie is turning 2 next week!
...to seriously never be satisfied with your blog design.
...that you already have a "want list" for summer...on mine: new Jacks, sunglasses that fit my face, several more sundresses (I live in them) & a cute tankini top for work - is there such a thing?
...to be very concerned about what sort of black hole you live in when you have: sunshine one day, a massive snowstorm the next, two sunny days to follow and then a full on thunderstorm. What?!
...to wonder why "blogging" isn't a legit college major?
...to get way too emotionally involved in American Idol & The Voice...does anyone else cry when chairs aren't turned around? Or how about [my fave] HeeJun last night on Idol? I seriously love him and that he dedicated his journey to the children with special needs he works with.
...to be sooo excited about seeing John Legend tonight! He's coming for an "evening of discussion and performance"...I not only love his music, but I found out he is a board member for Teach for America! I'm really excited to hear what he has to say about education and poverty.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!

It's Ok Thursday :)
Time for It's Ok Thursday!
It's Ok...
...to start envisioning spring outfits. It got to 60 degrees today! :) :)
...to wake up early to iron three shirts, and then not end up wearing any of them.
...to come home to find out the maintenance inspection people came and your room looks like a hurricane!
...to pretend like you didn't see Beauty and the Beast when a third-grader wants to share all the previews/highlights with you. Just play along :)
...to take a moment and freak out because the real world is just around the corner.
...to scream at your roommate under your breath because everything she does annoys you. Or just blog about it.
...to want to cry every time Pinterest pops up with that 502 error message.
...to sit and cringe for an hour at the thought of reading for homework because you really just want to be reading The Hunger Games.
...to like kid movies more than grown up movies AND be really excited about this:
Anyone else?
Happy Thursday!

It's Ok Thursday :)
It's Ok...
...that if I get a phone call from a number not in my contacts, I never answer it. If it's important, they'll leave a message!
...that I missed yesterday's WILW because that means next week's will be great!
...that for the second day this week, I really just want to snuggle up & watch movies! The rain will do that to you.
...to LOVE this Taylor Swift video for "Ours", not only because of the song itself but MATT SARACEN IS IN IT. Am I right Friday Night Lights lovers?
...that I want the semester to start because the sooner it starts, the sooner it's over and the sooner it's SUMMER.
...to decide between two classes based on how many books they require you to buy.
...to love Cupcake Wars but think cupcakes with pepperoni, hot sauce or cayenne pepper sounds dis-gus-ting.
...to indulge in a slice of pizza this size every once in a while:
 |
| Pizza at Benny Marzano's |
...to talk about getting a new blog design for months...and still not do it...
...that I'm more excited about one of my Mom's Christmas gifts than my own...she got a Magic Bullet...hello smoothies every day for breakfast!
...to actually go through with trying a blog recipe! I saw a recipe on Steph @ The Sweet Life's blog for Taco Soup and thought it looked sooooooooooo good...so I went and made it! I didn't include the cilantro or sour cream (forgot to buy it!)
 |
| YUM |
...to never be satisfied with your Twitter background & computer wallpaper.
...to be so obsessed with Pinterest that you consider giving it up for Lent. Kidding, but not kididng.
...that sometimes the biggest dilemma I face in a day is what puppy-dog-eyed kindergartener to give my coloring page to.
Enjoy your day!

It's Ok!
Time to link up with Neely for It's Ok Thursday!
It's OK...
...to blog in class. I already know all of this stuff, anyway!
...to be SOOOOO excited for the game tonight! Last home game + Darius Rucker + Enter Sandman + Senior Night...it's gonna be great.
...to have no idea how I'm going to make it to the end of the game! Early release (5 hours at work) + game (everything said above) = tired Sarah.
...to really just want to wear my pajamas to the game. As long as I have in my bow, I'm good!
...to be obsessed with bows in hair.
...to plan to spend the first part of Thanksgiving Break sleeping, crafting and baking. This seems to be the general consensus in the blog world!
...to wish you could have all of your blog friends as IRL friends!
...to have your printer run out of ink after printing 2/10 pages of your paper...NOT!!
...to know you could spend just as much money in Michael's as you could in any clothing store.
...to go to McDonald's for breakfast. Sometimes all you need is Cinnamelts & a mango pineapple smoothie.
...to make a Christmas list for your dog that is longer than your own.
I love this link up!
TTOD: Today, I am thankful for my mommy! Even though I'm a big, 'ol college student, she is still willing to help me proofread and edit papers. She is always willing to bring me things I forget. She is always willing to make me dinner when I pop up unexpectedly at home. She is always willing to listen to my problems with anything. She is always willing to do anything for me at the drop of a hat. Moms are the best! I LOVE HER!
CLASS IS OUT EARLY! Happy Break! :)

It's OK...& Giveaway Alert!
Last night I wasn't feeling very well and I ended up in bed even earlier than usual!...I like to go to bed early...don't judge me.
Anyway, running errands today + class has me wiped out. I am staying at home tonight because tomorrow morning, mama bear and I are off to Norfolk to see my brothers for big brother's 25th birthday! Woo!
Still, though, I'm going to play along with It's Ok Thursday with Neely :)

It's Ok...
...to expect every hospital to look like Seattle Grace...and expect to see McDreamy lurking around every corner.
...to already want to do your Christmas decor shopping. It's not your fault TJ Maxx already has everything out - and everything is adorable!
...to go to the public library and spend the whole time in Easy Fiction.
...to be eager to study because the faster these days go by, the faster Thanksgiving break will be here! (a whole week off!)
...to seriously consider buying every penguin-related. Salt and pepper shakers, cookie jar, place mats, pillows...everything.
...to go into Grand Home Furnishings just to get a free Coke and test out the couches.
...to want to spend every day in leggings, boots and a big sweater.
...to get overly excited when someone has a giveaway...who doesn't like free, cute things?!
...to cheer for the bad boy. Specifically speaking about Tim Riggins here...any FNL fans? :)
...to want to slap the girls who walk around campus with no sense of the world around them. Pay attention, people!
...to get excited about little things, like being the listener for a change and being read to by the first-graders :)
...to go right now to Ashley's blog and enter her giveaway! Kate Spade socks from Monkee's in Nashville! Adorable!!
That's all for now, folks :) I'm headed to bed to get rid of this sickness, whatever it is!

It's Ok Thursday :)
Yayyy, my second favorite blog day besides Wednesday? Thursday! As much as I love sharing random tid bits of my life, link ups are so fun. Here we go!
It's Ok...
to rock out in the car {by yourself} driving down 81 and pretend like no one else can see inside.
to have a little piece of home in more than one place.
to walk allllllllll the way to the back of the store to put something back that you decided you don't want, and then end up putting it back in the wrong place anyway.
to think your Mom has more of a social life than you (recently, I think this is true...she went to the movies on a weekday!)
to want to take an extra semester, just to get in another football season as a student.
to want anything and everything monogrammed.
to NOT want the "sexy, instantly gives you two cup sizes" bra...that thing is ten inches of awkward padding and a lie.
to want to set an alarm to blog in the morning...I need to get out of this nighttime habit!
to feel like you're living alone since you haven't seen your roommate in over a week! (not kidding...she's a hermit)
to spend too much time on Pinterest (really, it's ok!) ... it's hard not to when you find things like this:
It's my go-to for mini reminders about everything throughout the day.
Happy early weekend!

It's Ok Thursday :)
I need to do this post QUICK or it will post on Friday and then it WON'T be ok :(
One of my new favorite link ups with Neely! Join in!

It's Ok...
to go into Target for one thing and come out with three. I feel like I've blogged about this before? story of my life.
to be more excited about finding a Halloween shirt for your dog than a costume for yourself.
to roll into class with a ponytail, headband, yoga pants and fleece pullover. I had a test, okay?!
to know all of the moves to the Just Dance games for Wii. I love that thing.
to miss VT's Homecoming football game to see your best friend.
to bake some cookies "just because you can".
to still get WAY TOO excited about the book fair coming to school -- perks of both my mom and I working in elementary schools.
to take difficult classes that you have no interest in at community college and transfer the credits - seriously, it's very ok...less stress = happy Sarah.
to balance study minutes with Pinterest minutes.
to need a different scarf in every color/for every outfit...this goes for cardigans, too.
Again, sorry for the late post. I spent all day taking a test, going to work, going to class, freezing my booty off and packing!
Off to PA tomorrow :)
Happy weekend & GO HOKIES!!!!!

It's OK...& a giveaway you don't wanna miss
Today, I'm going to let y'all know...it's OK! With Neely! I feel like I haven't done this link up in a while, so I'm excited about it.
But FIRST! I have another giveaway to tell y'all about. {long distance loving} is hosting an Ocean State giveaway full of fun Lilly prizes! Go check it out - several ways to enter and the way she has it set up (don't have to leave comments!) is so easy!
...to be singing HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD because I am officially on Fall Break!
...to think Fall Break is actually completely lame because we get one measly Friday off - the day which 50% of students don't have classes on anyway. Bummer.
...to make pierogies (and laugh that your computer wants to auto correct the word pierogies to groupies) and then complain the whole time as the oil jumps out and burns your hand...because they are delicious.
...to act completely silly when working with children...their goofy smiles and giggles make it worth the slight embarrassment.
...to start thinking about Christmas shopping.
...to skip an OPTIONAL workshop in order to be home for Modern Family. #priorities
...to spend hours upon hours in Michael's because there is just too much to look at.
...to give the evil eye to the girl who just sat in your might-as-well-be-assigned seat in class and threw off your groove...has she not been there all semester?!
...to drive 45 minutes just to go to Elderberry's and have a delicious Mad's Mango smoothie.
...to still wear shirts and sweatshirts from high school. I have so many good memories!
...to be happy with a Blackberry. My time with the iPhone will come...and when it does...I will have the iPhone 9.
...to be saddened by the loss of Steve Jobs and to have yet another reason to RELAY!
...to have more than one monogrammed item hanging up...you would NEVER know my name started with S if you went in my room...(not)
...to criticize girls who wear leggings as pants...and then be a hypocrite and wear leggings as pants.
...to take lots of trips and lots of risks. Tomorrow is the ONLY October 7, 2011 you'll ever get...make it worth it.
...to spend your first night of Fall Break watching Grey's, Friday Night Lights and bumming on PINTEREST!
And that's where I'm headed :)

It's OK...
New linky with A Complete Waste of Makeup :)
I'm sure y'all might get tired of reading link ups, but I thought I would try this one out because all I REALLY want to do right now is get in bed and watch Friday Night Lights...so I gotta make this a quickie :)

It's Ok....
...to complain about the cold weather, even though you've been obsessing over a new Fall wardrobe.
...to have a dessert per class you attended all the way through!
...to sit on the aisles just because you don't want to be faced with the "crotch or butt" decision when having to scoot by people to get to your seat on the inside.
...to go to bed early just so that tomorrow will come quicker.
...to paint your nails one color and then remove it immediately and go nude because you smudged it a little.
...to be more excited about The Lion King being in theaters than, well, anything else really.
...to have a tervis tumbler for each day of the week.
...to accept that your back-up plan in life is going to be playing Belle at Disney World.
...to be facing your first exams before your apartment is fully decorated...whoops.
...to tell kids that you used to be a shark. Isn't it? ;)
...to have a professional blog design at the top of your birthday wish list...it's worth it after many many hours of searching and playing and editing.
...to still have stuffed animals filling half your bed.
...to not let anyone know that on the quiet morning bus, you are jamming out to Hanson on your iPod.
...to find something cute at a thrift store, and show it off.
...to put together a cute outfit the night before, and then end up in exercise clothes.
That's all, y'all :) I could go on with those for hours! Haha, but like I said...my bed and stuffed animals are calling...
