friday is nice

Happy Friday :) I generally love Fridays, and I do love this one. But sadly, it marks one of my last days of "freedom." So, I'm not too happy about that. But it is still a good day.... so I'm going to link up with Lauren  and share some more good things :) 

1.  Today is a good day because   I got to see Foxy and her kits again. And also, because it's a Friday and I'm still on Spring Break!

2.   The best thing I did all week was   lounge around the house and read "The Hunger Games" trilogy ... in three days. Yes. Yes.

3.  The current weather is     sunny with a few clouds      and it makes me feel     calm, content, and happy to be home.

4. The best thing about spring is    planting a garden, watching trees and flowers blossoming, the cool weather, and that is marks the nearness of the end of the school year.

5. A fashion trend that I'm dying to try out for spring is   sticking with the tried and true, flip flops and t-shirts :) I'm not a particularly fashionable person so I'm just happy to wear springy clothes. 

6. A person who made me smile this week was    _my niece Jaclyn. I got to see her for a few minutes on Easter Sunday. She has such a sweet little personality it's had not to smile when you are around her.

7.  The most delicious thing I ate all week was   sadly nothing worth noting yet, although I did have a pretty tasty bowl of raspberry Greek yogurt with sliced strawberries and granola. I know how to live it up, right? some green grapes. I've been craving sweet fresh things and the grapes have been quite tasty. 

Starbucks Stop

This week seemed to last forever. I don't really know why the days kept going and going and why Friday never came around. But it (Friday) is finally here. Thank the Lord! Today not only marks Friday, but it also marks the third full solo week of my student teaching experience. I only have one more full solo week to go and then some more teaching here and there, but not sole responsibility of the kiddos. Which is nice.

Today I felt particularly exhausted on the way home and kept thinking and dreaming about plopping down on my couch or bed and passing out for the next ten hours. Then I thought about how cold it was (it was freezing outside) and then that got me to thinking about how something yummy to sip on would be delightful. And since I knew I was going to be going right past a Starbucks on my way home I debated in my mind about wether or not I should stop and get myself a drink. I decided that since I have been driving right by Starbucks every day for the past three months and have never pulled over to get myself a little treat before and I was super tired and drained I would get a treat. So I did. 

Can you say White Chocolate Raspberry Mocha? 

Heaven (sing song voice). 

It was such a nice little treat and it was so nice, calming, and relaxing to sit and sip my yummy delight away. It was the perfect way to end the week. 

I know I'm dreaming, but it would be pretty amazing if I could stop by Starbucks every day on my way home from work. Oh, how I would love that. If you have the luxury and are able to frequent Starbucks, I am eternally envious of you. Just sayin'. 

Happy Friday!
