how many cokes will it take to keep me awake?

i'm going to try and type in all lower-case like my dear friend xuannie.

the amount of fatigue i feel right now is one word, rediculous.

that being said, i cannot fully update you on the spring break adventures experienced. not enough time nor energy. also, school. its in the way of things like....



fun.



whatever, its cool.


and, actually, i really, really, really like school (i mean, hello, i'm going to BE a teacher). don't get me wrong, i try and be grateful for each day i don't have to completely grow up. i know one day very,very,too soon, i will look back and say, "i really miss school. that was the life!"


but, seriously, the fatigue. bleh.

over the next two days i have:

2 papers
1 logbook up to date
4 article reflections

obviously, that's why i'm here...blogging...and not doing homework between classes or taking an extreme power nap.

Ok, the power nap is probably going to happen in about 30secs for about 15 mins. truth.

til then, here's one of my fav pictures from SB 2011:



P.s. Beeble and I made it here! cool, huh?

see you on the other side of the homework mountain!

Project 365. Day Two-Seventy-Eight: A Cat's Life...

When I was little, I sometimes wished I was a cat. I think this was because cats remained to be my favorite animal for most of my childhood (don't worry, giraffes have always been a favorite too). Cats were what I doodled, what I dressed up as for Halloween (a black one coming out of a pumpkin, for the record), and what my friend Samantha and I always prenteded to be on the playground. I still love cats (shocking, I know) but now, I'd rather be a cat for one reason more than for any other...

Cat naps.



...In a sun beam.



P.s. You should go check out Julie at the girl in the red shoes. She has a super cute blog that I've followed for a while now. She a) has darling style (just check out her posts about her DIY home projects) b) knows how to work a curling iron c) might love her pets as much as I love my own d) all of the above. Speaking of her "darling style," check out this fancy shmancy bracelet she's giving away! I maybe, might have imagined it upon my wrist region today. Maybe. Anywhoot! You should check her blog out!

Project 365. Day One-Ninety-Four: New Header Shake, Shake...

That's why i'm doin' a little dance. New header.

Like it? The picture is courtesy of mi hermano, Adam, cira.... 2003 ? 2004 ? And, it's of the greatest.dog.ever. And, by cira, of course I mean...circa...thank-you da Hubs, that isn't reading over my shoulder at this very moment, your abnormal skill at grammar and punctuation is one of the many reasons why I love you (the irony? he's the math guy and I'm the english person. And he hates writing papers. But, he's way better at proofing stuff than I am. Oh well. Ps. Enjoy all of my punctuation errors in that run-on sentence).

Anywhoot. I love that pictural of mah dawg. It's always been one of my favs. I like Kiltie's exspression--one eye, lazily wondering why her nap was interrupted-- and the fact that she's laying in one of her fav nap spots in our old house (the stairs...which is always fun when trying to leap over her to the next step, only to have her leap after you just as you're hanging over her head, suspended in air).

Good picture, that one by my brother.

And, the fact that it's so good and I'm so tired is the reason that it's my picture for today. Oh, and I haven't taken any pictures today b/c we've been busy packing (barf){Jason gets more points than me in the packing front, I must admit}.

Well, onto the highlights...

Today's Highlights:

1) That Kia--Hamster commercial...the one w/ the rapping hamsters....LOVE it. And, I've probably seen it 3 times in the last 2 hours and it's playing on repeat in my brain. Ah, I love me a good dancin' hamster.
2) "A short nap" that Jason let me take on our packing "break" that then turned into an alledged 3-hour nap. All the cats were holding me down, under the sheets, I was being held captive....
3) Getting some boxes packed (barf-- but it needs to get done).
4) That left-over peach cobb(ler) that I'm about to lay into...

Over and out.

Project 365. Day One-Ninety-Two: This guy aims big...

Paprika's favorite naptime spot is a little big for his britches--Kiltie's dog bed. It's cute for a few reasons... Besides the obvious--he being so tiny, the dog bed being so...not...

I think he finds Kiltie comforting--which is also cute-- and seems to be common knowledge among all the residents. She's a popular canine, that Kiltie. The fact that Paprika spends his dream-time swollowed up by the over-sized, Border Collie haired pillow, however, is just a tangible confirmation of his affections towards the world's greatest dog ever.

So, there ya go, soak in the cuteness...





Today's Highlights:

1) Having one of the better nights sleep that I've had in awhile. Thank-you Ambien.
2) Catching Kiltie and Paprika sleeping butt-to-butt on the dog bed in the wee hours of the morning. Again I say, cute.
3) Knocking out mi examen de espanol, knowing that I did my best and I definitly worked hard on it.
4) Surprising myself with my spanish composition--I actually came up with plenty of stuff to write about and had more confidence that usual that atleast some of it made sense. El whoop-o.
5) Profesora not holding class tomorrow.. Ole!
6) One day closer to being healthier.
7) First sushi since getting sick. Mmmmm!
8) Looking forward to having a little extra time this weekend to read, for fun.
9) Having a supportive and awesome husband.
