Things I Love Thursday-Blogging every day edition

What a week! Something about the week right before Thanksgiving has made our students crazy. So between the incredible number of reference questions, 7 classes, oh...and spending the weekend with Autumn...it's been a fabulous week. Or do I mean busy?

  • the weekend in Des Moines with Autumn- I've already sort of talked about the show, but the rest of the weekend was fun too. Lunch downtown complete with yummy dessert, getting a free appetizer at dinner because we waited so long, delicious mojiitos, wandering around the book store creating reading lists, and comparing music lists. So so much fun
  • celebrating Christina's birthday all week-I'm so stealing your themed days to celebrate your birthday all week next year. I missed yesterday, but I promise to catch up today. :) And seriously? I might have to use some of that movie list as my own!!
  • my tv shows- Big Bang, Glee, Survivor, and Bones have been fabulous this week. "Warm Kitty, Soft Kitty" in a round? Booth and Bones being adorable, fabulous songs, and another entertaining tribal council!
  • finally finishing my collection of Gilmore Girls seasons- Seasons 2-7 were/are on sale at Target this week. I refuse to pay more than like $25 per season. Normally I'd just wait til the new season comes out and the old ones go on sale. That doesn't work with the seventh season. I've put off buying it for a long time. Yay for it finally going on sale. All for just $15. My set is finally complete!
  • holiday drinks- I've made myself peppermint chocolate coffee twice this week. I love making my own take on expensive coffee. Ooh, and cranberry Sierra Mist is back in stores. Oh how I love the holiday season!

April weekends

By
I just solidified plans for this weekend today when it hit me: my April weekends are all over the place, and well so very me. Keeping with my new reality of being around Dubuque much more often than I have in the past, I'll be here for 3 of the 4 weekends. Ok, and by here I mean mostly here. I'll explain below. April 6-7 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival --I went to the festival last year with Gretchen. We had so much fun! We ended up seeing a different set of films than we originally thought, but it was still a blast. I was lucky enough to attend the Beloit International Film Festival with Kyle and his family last month, and this year he's coming down to spend the weekend watching films with me. Plus Nicole will be around for the weekend so she's coming along too! April 13-14 Twins game with Amy--We've got tickets to the Twins-Mets game on Sunday so I'll be driving back up to The Cities (I was just there over St. Patrick's Day weekend). I have...

Tough day

By
I don't know what was different about today, but I really struggled. A headache sidelined me for part of the day. Then I got hit with an overwhelming wave of sadness. And there were tears today. Definitely a crying jag. At some point today I moved past the point of being able to be angry. I just feel sick to my stomach again. Something I haven't dealt with since being on anxiety meds. I'm ok. I think everything just caught up to me today. Hoping sleep grants me some stress-free down time for my brain at least. My heart and stomach are going to need a bit more time I think.

Booklist

By
I found this in my RSS feed this morning and thought it was a nice way to start the day. It is a list created by the National Endowment for the Arts, and a blogger writes that they claim most American adults have read only six of these hundred books. I've read 23, but about half have been for school; however, some of those I chose to read for a class assignment. :) Here’s what you do: 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. (Or in my case turn them green.) 4) Reprint this list on your own blog. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6 The Bible (um, how many people have actually sat down to read the Bible? Like, straight through? I'm counting it because I read at least a chapter every night.) 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (I own it, but haven't read ...
