Procrastination Station

I did really well this week with getting ahead and staying ahead.  I have the rest of the semester planned, which is a nice feeling.  That's the easy part though.  When I say planned, I don't include handouts being made.  Soooo with that said I still have 3 finals to make and review packets to go along with them.  All before Thursday of this week.  It doesn't sound so bad and I've got some time, but it's seems daunting.  I had all this motivation yesterday when I left school, but now it's all gone.  Only 12 more school days until break though!

I've gotten no farther on my shopping, but have made progress on MY Christmas list.  I feel like I always have a hard time coming up with things that I want, are easy to find and aren't too expensive.  Here are some shirts I got for the kids...

I thought Sarah would like this one for Hailey.

Sooo excited to see Jacob in this!  It reminds me of Phi Mu :)

I just got schooled today on being a grown up in the winter (yes, it's still fall, but the temps say it's winter).  I looked at my power bill which is normally around 65 and it's 91 for this month.  This gives me yet another reason to hate cold weather, along with not being able to wear flip flops, my hair being in a constant state of static cling, it getting dark far too early, etc.

Buuttttt, winter does give me a fantastic reason to wear boots...with which I now have developed a small obsession.  I will hopefully be receiving these for Christmas :)

Super cute and I already know that they're comfortable because they're just like my gray ones.  I wore them Thursday and Friday and one of my students said "you really love those boots don't you?"  And I said...."yeah, I really do."

I'm starting to get pretty excited for the holidays.  Christmas will be a little weird this year because we won't be having the normal gathering on Dad's side on Christmas day because most people will be out of town.  It's just been postponed until Dad's family flies in from Pittsburgh, which means extra time with Mom's family that I normally don't get.  Unfortunately there will be no trip north to see Chris' family over break because I only get about a week and a half.  But I will get to see Chris when we fly to Virginia!  One of his brothers is getting married in Richmond on New Year's Eve so we're both pretty excited for that.  Tickets were a bit pricey, but that's expected for the time of the year, and we're saving money on a hotel because we're flying out at 6am on the 1st.  Our plan is to celebrate the new year until we have to go to the airport.  Should be a great time!

I'm excited for the next two weeks of my Psych class.  We're going to watch Winnie the Pooh one day and analyze/diagnose all of the characters with their respective disorders and then we're watching A Beautiful Mind at the beginning of the following week.  Such a great movie and definitely very applicable to that class.
