First Day Back...

I forgot how tired classes make me! Luckily I get to come home earlier than last semester so that's an improvement. The first day of a new semester at college is like doing the whole high school thing again: you wander around looking for your classes, you don't know anybody, and everything is very overwhelming. I think I am going to reward myself for surviving a first day with a little Starbucks. Now that ALWAYS makes things better!

Peace and Love,

Back To The Daily Grind...

Tomorrow I officially go back to school. I am not looking forward to it one bit. First of all, my classes start earlier this semester which means no sleeping in for this one. Second, it means less free time for me and more time spent on assignments. I am taking one online class this semester which I started today and I am already letting myself become overwhelmed. I think I have just gotten so used to all the time off that actually having stuff due and deadlines stresses me out. I just have to remind myself to take things one day at a time and not to drowned myself in work. Making time for myself is a major priority. We only have one life to live and I am not going to spend the next 4 months only focusing on school. Boy, am I going to miss all my free time.

Meg's Chocolate Chip Cookies...

My sister, Maddie, is turning into quite the little baker. Yesterday she made Meg's chocolate chip cookies. They were very yummy and perfect for a Saturday afternoon snack! Plus, I made french toast for dinner, so it was good eatin' all around.

The Way That It Goes...

I know that I have mentioned Gillian Welch a few times on the blog since getting her latest cd at Christmas. I just can't say enough how much I love her voice. Her music is also incredible. I love the style of her songs. This is one of my favorites and I thought I would just share it with you today. Hope you love it as much as I do.

Peace and Love,

Ground Control...

Today was all about updating the look of the blog. I'm still not feeling too good and I don't have too much to post about. I thought instead I would share with you this cover of "Space Oddity" by Silver Rocket. I love the song as it is but I think it sounds magical as a duet.

Happy Friday...

How has everybody's week been?? My weeks without school are starting to come to and end so I am trying to enjoy them as much as possible. Today I started to feel under the weather and we are supposed to get ice and snow tonight so this weekend is probably going to involve lots of blankets and movies. Happy Friday to you all!

Peace and Love,

2 Things...

First of all, there's nothing cuter than when Mel crosses her legs when she is asleep! So darling! Lately she has really been living up to her nickname "Melly Mischief." She loves chewing on left over boxes and wrapping paper from Christmas.

Second, today is my best friend's birthday!! Sarah, I hope you have a wonderful birthday filled with love and fun. Thank you for being such a dear friend to me!

Peace and Love,
