Out my window: slightly chilly...I'm still waiting for the optimal temperature day withOUT rain...it seems like I still haven't been able to take the kiddos outside at the preschool because it's either warm but rainy or cool but sunny. I am so picky.
Clothing myself in: jeans, aqua cami, white hooded long sleeve tee, a dark-blue light-material cardigan that has seriously been my best friend this spring. And I found it for all of a few dollars at the thrift store back in the fall. Win.
Around the apartment: Doing laundry...a.k.a. living room littered with my separated clothes piles. Someday we will have a house, and I can have a laundry room with separated out baskets. Till then...I make do :-).
The hubby: Spur of the moment went with a good friend to see a 10:30pm show last night. Power to him, but I don't think I could do that on a work night haha.
In the kitchen: I've been trying harder to include Matt in meal planning. So I have started suggesting two options each for our beef, chicken, and "other meat" (sausage or seafood usually) meals for the week, out of which he picks the meals, and this past week I let him make the beef meal. I'm selectively tense and controlling about certain things in life, and since we've been dating the kitchen has become one of those things. Oh, how I lack humility. Anywho, we just completed meal planning today: on the menu are steaks and baked potato wedges, skillet basil cream chicken, and ham and cheese rolls. The rolls sound simple, but they are also covered in a yummy butter/mustard/Worcestershire sauce as they bake, and they are simply delish.
Crafting: We are going to be moving at the beginning of June. Not too far away, just to a nearby apartment complex that has some more benefits for us for several reasons. We're starting to think about packing...Matt's more into it than I am haha. But today I was looking up into the cabinet at our cups. I have some mugs from college that have ever so slight sentimental value for me, but they've just been sitting in our cabinet. This probably won't happen right away, but I was thinking of maybe using them for some small plants once we get to the new apartment, exercise my planting abilities on a small level. I haven't done much searching, but I've seen this so far: http://www.hgtvgardens.com/ask-and-share/ornamental-grasses-discussions/i-want-to-plant-some-plants-in-small-coffee-cups-what-can-i-plant-that-doesnt-need-drainage-00000143-4e44-dd6b-a963-dfcd1d4c0000. Anybody else have any thoughts?
Learning: Ugh. This is technically the last week of class of the semester, next week is finals. The impending stress has absolutely made me mentally shut. down. It's amazing how many more chores and errands I have been getting done...
Synoptic Gospels: Ending the Gospel of Luke
Fundamental Moral Theology: My last paper is due this Saturday...*cue mental panic*. This final is going to kill me.
Reading: STA, notes
Watching: Along the lines of procrastinating studying, I have been *shameful face* binge watching Saved by the Bell.
Bringing me joy: getting to meet my friend's baby...sooooo tiny! Easter in all it's glory...
Thinking about: Internal struggle between wanting to do so much for the Church, but at the same time the want/need to be paid for my contributions. I just internally start to panic and get upset at myself for going into a career field that is so narrow. I still stand by the stance that my education is important NO MATTER IF I ever did get a job in it. I believe women deserve an education no matter what. And yet...there's the and yet...school is expensive. It would be nice to know that there's something on the other end of this waiting for me.
Pictures to share: -_- nope. There were pics taken of holding cutie-pie baby, but my friend's mom took them on her cell and they have not been uploaded.
