With the A to Z Challenge and it’s demands (and the confines of sticking to a letter each day!), I was realizing that I’ve been inundating you with so many travel recaps.
Which, let’s face it, are some of my favorite things.
But, today, to take a break from all the travel-talk, I thought I’d give you a quick update on what’s been going on behind-the-scenes!
NOWADAYS…
…we are going through all of our stuff. Where did it all come from? I guess I’ve sort of been collecting it my entire life…but it’s alarming how much we’ve added to said collection in the 2 1/2 years we’ve lived in Colorado together. Plus, a lot of it is harder to give up than I would have thought…like random (yet adorable) tiny ramekins that were a gift. My sister is just borrowing them until we come back (if ever!) but still, it made our impending move that much closer, and therefore more terrifying.
…I’ve started binge-watching 30 Rock (yes, years behind everyone else…that’s how I roll). It’s seriously harming my productivity.
…I finished my taxes in the nick of time! How did April 15 sneak up so fast? I got a big ole note of congratulations because not only do I not owe anything, I also didn’t get anything back, which is apparently “good tax planning.”
…I now officially have SIX. WEEKS. left until I finish grad school.
…I recently helped throw my friend a bachelorette party. It was so great to get a night out! I feel lucky to have met these girls in grad school and I’ll miss them all so, so much!
…I’m finally going to get to ski! Yes, you can still ski in Colorado in April…it’s not the best but it still counts.
I’m obviously quite talented.
…we leave for Prague in 3 1/2 months. Yikes! So. much. to. do.
…I alternate between obsessing and planning for Prague like crazy, and pretending it isn’t happening.
…instead of a required thesis to graduate in my program, we have these huge, horrible things call Oral Comprehension Exams. I sometimes am at my worst when I’m talking, especially under pressure, so I try not to throw up every time I think of them.
…we started a Couch to 5K program that I’m actually loving so far. I tend to abhor exercise, except for yoga and swimming, but we ended our gym membership to save some money, so now it’s back to the basics like running. I think it was great timing for us to start this just as it’s nicer outside, so you actually want to be outside. Although it there was another blizzard this past weekend so, who knows.
…apparently there was a lunar eclipse a few days ago? Did you watch it? I’ve seen one before and they’re awesome and a little creepy when the moon goes all red. Makes me think of the apocalypse or something.
…I’m so excited to be throwing another grad school friend a baby shower next month! Does anyone know any fun baby shower games? I hear Pinterest calling my name.
…It’s Easter this weekend! I always love holidays. This will probably be the first Easter I’ve ever watched a show like Game of Thrones, but…we just don’t want to miss it! Plus, our friends host a watching party every week, so it counts as celebrating because it’s a party, right? Plus, they have a new puppy, and I need my fix of course.
…It’s also my cousin’s birthday on Friday! Yay for celebrations! (I’m so corny right now).
What’s going on nowadays for you?
This is letter N for the A to Z Challenge. Over halfway now!
