**Temporary Blog Background Insanity = SPRING BREAK IN 2 DAYS!!!!**

"The best smell in the world is the man you love." - Jennifer Aniston

This man is the love of my life.

Look how cute Coach looks in his BGHS football coach picture!!!! Stinky as he may be every day after football, I love having him around so much that I don't mind it :-)

I am soooo ready for Spring Break, did I mention that??? Love and Peace! I can't wait to be home in TAMPA!

Wednesday...Ooops!

This morning when I wrote the date on the white board I wrote:

Wednesday March 30, 2011

3-30-11

2 days 'til Spring Break!

It took about 4 minutes for another teacher to kindly remind me that today is in fact, TUESDAY! I like Tuesdays really I do- the culprit is Spring Break and I seem to wish it were here sooner rather than later :-)

Ooops. Happy TUESDAY!

Love & Peace!

The quilted quicker picker upper :-)

Nothing makes me happier during this time of year than my Azure Blue quilted jacket (and this picture of a REALLY cute guy in his quilted jacket- He's not as cute as Coach but pretty close.) Back to the subject...

My Land's End jacket! It cost me an arm and a leg but I LOVE IT! I wore it today over my cute pink and white striped RL button down...which also cost and arm and a leg.

Anyway, enough about my extremity sacrifices. (My ADD is KILLING me today.) Let's talk about quilted Jackets. If you don't own one I would advise it. They are the perfect transitional coats, they protect from the cold wind and rains that come with the Spring time weather but also keep you from sweating into a puddle in the afternoons because they are surprisingly lightweight. Here are a few of my FAVORITE QUILTED COATS: Just the picker upper you need!

J.Crew makes this gray jacket for CrewCuts. Isn't it sweet? Wish I had a little one to put in it!

...Nope, never mind. I just like looking at the jacket.

This little gem is $398. And worth every penny if you ask me.

Burberry is a great brand. Everything they make (that I own) has lasted me a long time

with NO wear and tear. If you have the money, I say splurge!

If not, here is a $40 alternative :-) From Land's End, snap pockets and a zipper front.

It's different than mine (I have a snap front) but equally as ideal!

I'm heading to Nashville tonight with my friend Emily, more shopping for Spring Break! I hope you all have fun plans for the night too!

Happy Weekend Everyone! Go Forth and Shop!
Love & Peace!

HAPPY HUMP DAY PEOPLE!

It's a Wednesday- which means "That's what she said!" So here is a little quote for the lovely weather we're having here in SOKY and the weather I hope you all are having too!

"No matter how long the winter,

spring is sure to follow" -Proverb

The silver bullet.

Isn't it lovely? Doesn't it just look like summer? Bar-b-ques, Church carnivals, Catholic Picnics...Diet Coke, friends, The drink of champions.

The above picture is what I see almost of every school day- We've grown to love each other!

I think it's pretty clear that I'm a Diet Coke fan. I'm actually pretty new to the DC fan club. I started Weight Watcher in the beginning of February and one of the big changes I had to make was drinking REGULAR soda at school during the day. I wasn't drinking soda hardly at all until I started my new job in January. And since it's there, I'll drink it. Coach and I never keep soda in the Apartment anymore so it's not like I drink it at home but at school....I was drinking 2 or 3 cans a day!!!!! Gross, I know.

So in order to curb my sweet tooth after lunch I have started drinking 1 (ONE!!) Diet Coke. It lasts me about 45 minutes before it's warm or gone. And it gives me the sweetness and caffeine I need to make it through another 2 hours of "Sit down please" and "No calling out, friends" and "Zach, what is that in your mouth?!?!" YIKES!

Now, with my recent increase in diet cola consumption I started to wonder- Are their risks? Diabetes? Cancer? BRAIN TUMOR? A little dramatic I do believe. My Dad always says, EVERYTHING IN MODERATION! And I think Diet Coke fits perfectly into that category. I did find an article from the Mayo Clinic that I thought you might all enjoy :-) Just a little something to make my Diet Coke drinking comrades(sp??) feel better!

Read, Self-educate, DRINK AND ENJOY!

Love and Peace!

I'm starting a new blog section. In honor of my most favorite quote ever, I am starting a weekly post (always on Wednesdays) called "that's what she said."

I'm going to feature an AMAZING quote every week. This week is actually a "that's what HE said." forgive me.

"The only way to have a friend is to be one." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Above is what I like to call "adventures in self-timer-ing" at my college Apartment 3 years ago. Everything about this picture is funny to me. But my favorite part is the group of girls...now women... in it with me. Each girl has been an amazing friend to me and I am doing my best to pay it forward.

Getting Organized!

My future sister-in-law came to visit me this weekend and in preperation for her visit I cleaned our little shoebox from top to bottom. It got me in an organizational kind of mood. I pulled out my pink agenda and I started updating my life.

I'm pretty well able to keep track of my life without it but I feel so much more secure now that I'm carrying it around with me. It's appeal is less about the activities I chart and more about the financial management it adds to my life. I can mark paydays, auto withdraws & monthly payments I can't make online...yes, there are still some places that require me to deliver my check- my storage unit, my Zumba class & our rent. It's annoying so I'm glad to be writing it all down.

In celebration of this renewed me, I have a few GREAT agendas to share with you.

Leather is always a good choice. These agenda's are great for the young professional :-)

Hope you find some time to organize your life!

Love and Peace!
