Spring Break! Days 70-76

Let's be honest for a second. I have no idea what happened when last week, so I'm shoving all of last week into one (somewhat coherent) post.

Johnny and I decided to be adventurous and make tandoori chicken on Monday. It was absolutely amazing!

On Monday and Tuesday, the internet at work was down, which led to a lot of waiting around. Eventually I just decided to work from home.

Campus is extremely beautiful when no one is around.

On Wednesday, I insisted that we go out to celebrate the beginning of spring break (for me, at least). I love to celebrate with Mexican food! Johnny got the nice looking meal; I got the one that looks like Mexican food vomited all over the plate.

The restaurant also had 2-for-1 margaritas and 32 ounce beers. This is where the night both got fun and went downhill. It was no big deal though, because I had a four day weekend. This is also where I run out of pictures...

I spent Thursday working on homework at the library like a true nerd.
On Friday, I went into work to try to win free beer in a contest we were having. I came in second-to-last. I also had lunch with my dad. It's always nice to catch up with family.
Saturday was a low-key day spent in pajamas with coffee and Mad Men. Eventually I got dressed to enjoy corned beef and cabbage with Johnny's family.
Sunday saw a trip south to celebrate the wedding of a good friend from work.

69/365: Well, someone is a little disgruntled

I found this walking around USF on Sunday. Someone wasn't happy...

68/365: And over by USF...

So, there are some new apartments ging up right across from campus. According to one of my facebook friends, "They're going for that mod unfinished look."

62/365: Its a cold and windy Sunday

Mmmm, green tea and honey.

It's about 50 degrees outside, so I've stayed inside under a blanket all day. I love a lazy Sunday every once in a while, but I need to get around to finishing a case analysis that is due this week. It's just so hard to get motivated when your in sweatpants and VH1 has a Best Songs of the 90s marathon on.

54/365: Muse on a Saturday night

I bought tickets to Muse for my brother's birthday, and the show finally happened on Saturday. Absolutely amazing! Hopefully I can get a video that Johnny took to upload here, since my phone failed both on picture taking and recording aspects at the show.

Look at that face behind us...

48/365: Good beer, good friends, good food

It was poutine night this weekend at the Independent! I love poutine so much. Salty gravy and cheese on fries? It's a fat kid's dream. I'm so happy that the bi-weekly Independent outing just happened to be on the one night poutine was the cafe special. It made up for the fact that we were sitting outside in 40 degree weather with wind. This isn't your typical Canadian-style poutine. It was made with oxtail gravy and manchego cheese sauce.

Good beer, good friends, good food. What else could a girl ask for?

46/365: We finally get our time

Johnny and I finally had our Valentine's Day yesterday. Thanks to an old gift card I had laying around, we were able to go out to Bonefish Grill for dinner. In typical style, I forgot my camera, but my phone managed to get a halfway decent picture of the food. I had grilled mahi mahi with chimchurri sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, and garbanzo beans with turkey sausage and spinach. Johnny had spicy shrimp pasta and a bowl of crab and corn chowder.

40/365: Ten thoughts on a quiet Saturday

1. I love this new mug. The bird almost match the birds tattooed on my arm.

2. I was in Starbucks this morning listening to someone about to graduate and a PricewaterhouseCooper recruiter discuss career opportunities. It got me thinking about what I want to use my four electives to minor it. I think I'll go for finance over entrepreneurship. A handful of finance classes won't hurt, right?

3. I need to organize my design inspirations board on Pinterest. It's getting out of hand.

4. It's really weird to have a Saturday morning at home to myself. Johnny is working overtime again and my class is over. I'm not used to this.

5. I haven't bought a new item of clothing since December. At least I'm keeping with one 2013 goal.

6. Sometimes I wish life was more like a Gilmore Girls episode.

7. Finance sounds extremely boring. How to I reconcile my need for fun against what is better for a career?

8. I need to get on that working from home thing soon. Then maybe I can worry more about fun.

9. I'm kind of happy to not be living in the north right now. It's 70, sunny, and not a snow-pocalypse right now.

10. Writing down ten coherent thoughts was so much harder than I expected. My thoughts don't make much sense usually.

35/365: The Superbowl hangover

Superbowl spread! I didn't really care about the teams playing, but I did care about the commercials and the food. And I cared when the lights when out, because that was funny.

34/365: Some much needed pampering

Johnny pampered me today and did my nails for me. I feel so lucky to have a guy who is willing to paint my nails, especially considering how terrible I am at the DIY manicure. This is my favorite color, a mint shade from Sephora. This day has been amazing so far: lattes, sweatpants, pinterest, and the puppy bowl, of course. We're heading out to a superbowl party soon, but until then I'm going to enjoy vegging out for the first time in four weeks. I'll start on my brand management reading tomorrow. I don't even start that class until Thursday.
