What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Jamie's Blog

I'm loving...

...that the sun is FINALLY shining

...that I get to look out my window and still see pretty snow (well it's crunchy, but looks pretty)

...that I was already off during the 2 snow days, so I didn't miss any work

...that NCIS was new last night and can't wait to watch it tonight

...that I finally watched Psych.. it is HILARIOUS

...that my LAST grad class started yesterday

...that I'm SO lucky to have such awesome family, boyfriend, friends, and co-workers

That's enough loving for today :) I could keep going. I just thought of some random things that I'm excited about. Sure there is plenty more, but I need to save some!

Day 11 - LAST DAY :( - What are you Looking Froward to in 2011

1. Finishing Grad School February 21

2. Finding a Full Time Job (I'm not looking forward to the looking part)

3. Time spent with family and friends

4. Any potential vacations :)

5. Losing the rest of the weight to get to my goal/happy weight!

6. I'm just looking forward to what the new year has in store!

Miscellany Monday

1. SNOW SNOW SNOW


I bet the whole city of Atlanta is shut down. They closed schools, my mom is out of work, where I work is closed (although I was already off). It's so pretty :)

Zoe isn't so sure about the snow. Her paws kept getting stuck, so she'd do this funny wobble hop thing!

2. Homework

While everyone else is out of school, I take classes online, which means no snow day for me! I did however do most of my assignments last night in fear that we might lose power. So now I just have to take a quick(ish) final!

3. Charlie St. Cloud

Finally saw it. I loved it. It is so sad though! I kind of want to watch it again now that I know what's going on. It was also the first Blu Ray movie I've watched on my Blu Ray player I got for Christmas.

Day 10 - Favorite Girls Night Activity

When I was in college my favorite thing was going to concerts in Atlanta, or well anywhere. My best friend/roomie and I would go to 2 or 3 a month, it was great!

Us with This is Me Smiling band members (I'm in the red)

The Sick Puppies - LOVE THEM - this was a private show for like 50 guests, we wont tickets

Us with Love Arcade I'm in the back

We saw others, but these pictures were the least unflattering haha. It seems they're always taken at odd angles.

Now I love:

going shopping

eating out at new places

movies

mani/pedi

I want to go to this thing called Canvas and Cocktails - you have a class for a specific painting and have cocktails while you do it. I bet those paintings turn out GREAT ;)

Anything is fun with friends.

Day 9 - Favorite things to do on a cold day

This is SO fitting for today since we've gotten more snow than we've had in a very long time. We're at 3 inches. They are predicting it to get pretty bad with ice and what not. Luckily I am off tomorrow-Wednesday!

So, what will I be doing during these cold winter days?

Sleeping

Reading

Watching movies

Cuddling with my pup - Zoe

Playing in the snow

Then eating a warm soup

(I'll also be doing homework, but it's not worth the favorites list ;) )

Day 7 - Favorite Memory of 2010

First it was transferring to a store closer to home, so I was only driving 20 minutes to work instead of an hour. I also got a good raise and gained a wonderful team of coworkers. It was so weird how it happened. I went shopping at Tanger Outlet and when I passed the BBW I told my boyfriend how HAPPY I would be if I worked there. Not even a week later my manager told me that they had an opening.

John and I (I look 16 yrs old)

What I really enjoyed this summer were the numerous Braves games my boyfriend and I attended. I love live sports. I'm not a fan of watching them on TV (with the exception of soccer). Usually I'll go to maybe one game a year, but this year we went to about 4 or 5. We had the opportunity to be there when they retired the number of Tom Glavin. We were also there for the retiring of Bobby Cox. Being there for that was special. A lot of former players came back (including my favorite as a kid David Justice). Here are a couple of pictures:

The players

Chipper Jones

The year we won the World Series (1995)

I was also able to go whale watching for the first time while I visited my family in Maine. We went to Quebec and it was so much fun. It was freezing, but a blast!
