Summer recap





Today is my last day of summer! I loved my summer. Races, weather, brunches, hanging out with friends, three trips to Michigan, 90210 reruns, iced coffee, long workouts, street fests, 30th birthday, 1st anniversary, walks in the neighborhood, dog sightings...

Today's to-do list:
-lay out clothes
-laundry
-pack new backpack!
-get markers, supplies, etc. in order to take
-eyebrows (Yes, this is really on my list.)
-finish parent letter
-prepare tomorrow's coffee
-find coffee mug
-empty dishwasher
-save documents to flash drive
-clean if time
-thesis if time

I feel like I'm in high school again, looking at the items on this list. They really aren't all that different from when I was younger, aside from the fact that I didn't touch coffee until I started teaching. Thinking about what to wear, packing the bag, yesterday's washing of the makeup brushes. Yup, not too much has changed at all.

Nikolai is making me steak for my last dinner of summer. Yum! Hopefully I exhausted myself during my workout today to get my body ready for an early bedtime and even earlier wake-up.

Wish me luck with my fifth year!

CAKE!! SO glad i got to click on the picture and realize that the black on it was icing. You guys are too cute.

when i think of you, i totally conjure up that image of you in a hoodie and towel, standing in the rain, grinning from ear to ear! the only difference is that i usualaly picture you "fishing" with a color pencil and a gummy worm.

fun summer!

find A coffee mug? curious to know where you end up finding it.

do you really bring a backpack to school? and a new one at that? so freaking cute.

ohhh i want to go out and get a new backpack now! i have zero use for one, but i have this urge that i MUST have one. i was at dick's sporting goods and saw all these cute kids "trying on" backpacks. my favorite back to school supplies were the pens. i still get excited when i go to office depot and get new pens :)

i hope this year is great!
