Coffee Time

monday february 2.3.

the last monday of february. yes! we are slowly moving on! march, here we come! (: in three weeks we (me, mike, chris, mike & kayla) will be skiing on the slopes in Crested Butte, CO (side note). Anyway, my picture of the day came from my morning coffee time on the porch. My last class was canceled, so I was finished with class at 10 (: I went back to read some of my book (For Whom the Bell Tolls / Hemingway) and have coffee, bundled up in the hammock on the porch. Lovely...but cold so I didn't last long, but it was still enjoyable! 

Another side note: the M & M mug was from Mike's mama, papa & Melbug from when they went to NY last spring break! (: I LOVE it!

Newness (:

Saturday, 

February 21

This is my new journal (: Yay because it is green. Yay because it has a red pirate ship on it. Yay because it is empty...completely clean. I LOVE getting a new journal. I am in love with Barnes & Nobel - so it's exciting to go because I need something...not because I want a new book. (I always have a list of books that I want!) So yiiippppeee for the newness of a new journal! 

Paintin' Days...

friday, february twentieth

I wish I could use this picture for Friday and Saturday, just because this little house in Laurens is where I spent most of my weekend. My mom bought this house as a 'fixer-upper' - to rent. She's gotten into the flipping business, which means when there's work to be done she's got cheap labor (from me, Mike and Melanie!). We actually worked on this house last weekend too - priming the walls which were: highway sign green, Mexican orange (there is no other way to describe it), and Banana peel yellow, and the kitchen cabinets. Well, today Mike & I met mom at the house around 3:30. We touched up primer and started painting the living room "Caucasian." Mom ended up leaving after about an hour - so Mike, Melanie and I kept painting...until dinner time where we met her, my dad & Carson at Whitefords. We enjoyed a great dinner (: and Blue Goo for dessert! After dinner, we headed back to work for about another hour then decided it was too cold to keep painting so we packed up and headed home! 

Spring is HERE!

thursday, feb. 19

I actually took this picture with my phone as I was walking into P&A (my 2nd home). I've realized recently that the daffodils are blooming on campus. Every time I see them I really wish I had my camera with me so I could take some pictures, because you know that I Love Flowers. So, using my quick thinking - I whipped out my phone & snapped this picture. Spring is HERE, my friends (: which means warmer weather (thank goodness, since snow is not on the horizon); intramural softball; shorts, t-shirts & chacos; Spring Break - Crested Butte, CO.; hiking trips; Turtleback; lake weekend (hopefully); and that we're getting closer to graduation (bring it on!).
