Life in Denim and Flip Flops

I decided to vlog this week thinking it would be easier than blogging. It was. It just wasn't any faster. Oops :) Apparently when I left it over night it uploaded, but YouTube hasn't processed it yet! Ugh. Hopefully sometime today it will process. If not I'll re-upload it tonight.

I have been at work too many hours this week, but it's totally worth it. We're really starting to see the students at the reference desk and in our offices. Assignments are due, that's why! Lots of teaching and lots of running around makes Becky a tired, but happy girl. watching Glee : I really do love this show. I mean seriously? Singing, cheesy dancing, and random Josh Groban and Victor Garber sightings? Love it!! This was my fave clip of the week. watching Greek : This show is addicting. There you have been forewarned. Despite sepnding my day surrounded by college students I still love watching this each week. Cappie just cracks me up. Like his take on movie trailer voiceovers. sports-filled weekends : I got to watch 3 football games this weekend, and catch some live and televised tennis. That always makes a great weekend. excited students : I've had 3 students tell me how excited they are about writing their paper. It's so edifying to see students excited about ...

I can't wait til this week is over. I need another weekend. Not that I need to recover from my last weekend, but I don't think I really ever fully escaped weekend mode. students/professors hanging out in my office: this week it seems like people have taken me up on the "come hang out and say hi" offer I extend to everyone in my classes. I've gotten to talk about The Office, reading Twilight in Spanish, and how the best defense against me is a hug (because apparently I'll melt!). And the bribing with candy tends to work well. Thank goodness for Sam's Club and buying in bulk. Luna Nueva: Gretchen bought me New Moon in Spanish during her time in Spain. I'm really excited about it. It's been a while since I read it in English, but I remember enough to help me through it. I'm working through it in Spanish trying to get the idea of it, then if I'm really stuck I flip back to that passage in English to get the concepts/words I missed. I just bough...

Wow. It's 8:30 and I just remembered I haven't blogged yet today. Oops. That tells you what kind of week I've had. The first week back with students and I forget everything. :) Without further adieu, my loves this week. going rummage saling with my mom: I spent the weekend at home with my mom. One of my favorite things to do with my mom is hitting garage sales throughout the city. Growing up, a lot of my clothes were garage sale buys. I love that I managed to find 2 sweaters, a vest, a zip-up hoodie, a long sleeve shirt, short sleeve button-up, 2 throw pillows, a tea kettle, glass measuring cup, and a photo frame tray for less than $20. Bargain shopping rocks! chilling with my mom and sister: We had a girls weekend at my parents. Saturday night watching cake-decorating contests with them was so much fun. Hanging out with them is always fun. We don't have to have anything planned to enjoy ourselves. Glee: I neglected to talk about the "Golddigger" preview Manda...
