*Gulp*

As of today, I am applying for a GA (Graduate Assistanship) position with the Sociology department at MTSU.

It seems a bit intense but I am ubber excited about the potential of it!  I love love love being busy and doing research/Sociology so it would be amazing if I got it!

There are only 2 positions left so keep the fingers and toes crossed that I get it!

*Oh yeah-still not sure if I'm officially even an MTSU Graduate Student yet but...here's to more hoping!

What I ACTUALLY did on my to-do list...

Go run
Decorate house for Christmas (WAHOO!)
Tidy up
Sort laundry
Get hooks for ornaments
Get quarters for laundry
See "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1" with the husband
Do toe nails
Finish season 3 of "Lois and Clark" (haha, I know right?! yes-this is on my to-do list)


Well not a bad day!  It seems I'm pushing laundry, yet again, to tomorrow...cheers to Sunday!

To Do List

I have a lot to do today.  Well-maybe it's not a lot to do it's just a lot of time consuming to do...does that make sense, lol?

I've got to:

Go run
Decorate house for Christmas (WAHOO!)
Tidy up
Sort laundry
Get hooks for ornaments
Get quarters for laundry
See "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1" with the husband
Do toe nails
Finish season 3 of "Lois and Clark" (haha, I know right?! yes-this is on my to-do list)

See-not too much just some of it is time consuming.

Pointless blog, but hey-I felt like writing  =P

Something wicked this way comes

I feel like I'm getting sick.  It may be due to my sinus' but still-sick is sick.

I can't be getting sick!  I've got a Harry Potter date with my husband, running with John, and Christmas decor to put up all this weekend!  =(

Maybe after Zumba tonight, I will go home and sleep even though I'm supposed to go over to John and Elisa's to finish wrapping my Hula-Hoop....  Sleep is the quickest way for my body to recover.  I've been drinking my hot tea today and I plan on having some oatmeal and maybe a nap for lunch.  These should help....

Cross fingers and toes it's just a little cold that tea, soup, and nyquil can cure.

Love and kisses,
J

December Goals

Yay! It's officially December 1st-and you know what that means....more goals and FUN!  Alright: are you prepared?

~Home
*Decorate for the holidays
*Put up laundry when it's done (I hate putting up laundry)
*Sand and prime table in bedroom

~Health
*Clock at least 8 consecutive miles on the elliptical or treadmill
*Drink more water
*Get knee brace and wear it when running (this should help me increase my endurance on the treadmill/concrete vs using the elliptical)
*Even during the break from work (and due to Christmas) work out in SOME way at least 3 days a week (this will be a tough one!)
*Walk Tucker every Sunday unless it's raining all day....
*Drink less coffee-less meaning no more than 4 times per week (this is less considering I drink it almost every day!)

~Fun
*Go Christmas shopping with Mom and Jen (Yeeee!! This has become a tradition and it's SO much fun!)
*Finish shopping and wrap presents (well duh!)
*Mail out holiday cards by December 17th
*Celebrate early Christmas with Kelly, Wes, Tonya, and the boys
*Buy a New Years dress (hopefully in a smaller size!)
*Celebrate Christmas with family
*Celebrate the New Year with friends
*Celebrate Elisa's Bday
*Celebrate Mom's Bday

~Books
*Finish "Picture of Dorian Gray"
***POTENTIALLY start some reading on Graduate school books IF I get in...***
*Start "Hitchhikers Guide" Series

Well, I think this will do for now.  It seems fairly easy-so let's see how I do!

Raley Xmas Cards

Snow Flurries Cocoa Christmas Card

Shop Shutterfly.com for elegant Christmas photo cards.

View the entire collection of cards.

Isn't it DARLING?! Shutterfly.com really knows how to rock n' roll for holiday cards. I am so pumped about getting these cards (should be here by the end of next week) and they were FREE! ALL 50 OF THEM!  A small amount paid for shipping and postage-totally worth it!  They were really fun to pick and choose and to design-Der and I are both HUGE hot chocolate fans so this hot cocoa themed card seemed perfecto!

Are you hoping you get a card in the mail?

You should...and maybem if you're lucky, you will   =D

Lots of Love,

J
