This weekend you can find me camped out at my computer, trying really hard to knock out that last bit of my thesis, actually washing my hair, and hopefully packing up more than a few boxes, as well. I like May, but it can get a little crazy.

Just wanted to stop by and say I hope you have a good one! See you Monday.

I think it might be the weather, but I have been so productive these past two weeks. Pages of a thesis have been written, part-time jobs where I work from home have been acquired, and a magazine article or two are in the works. It's good.

Now, breakfast sausages are on the stovetop and I am trying to find out how to best use my morning. Today's the last Friday I'm working in the afternoon before my boss comes back from his trip. I'm ready to get my normal all-morning schedule back, but these quiet Friday mornings at home have been a nice change of pace. Plus some Spring Fever.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with some coffee and a vacuum. 

Have a sunny weekend, friends.

After the recent holidays, I feel like I've barely actually stayed at our apartment in Charlottesville for a weekend in weeks. But this weekend, we stayed put. We spent time together. I cooked a lot. And baked! Our apartment is spotless and amazingly, we managed to keep it that way. I've never been so proud.

I made breakfast. I went to work. We went out to lunch. I made dinner. We watched LOST. I read. I woke up early and worked on my thesis. I made breakfast again. Shawna and I went for another run--we're on a roll! And then Rob and I spent Sunday evening in sweatpants with takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings. He watched a football game on television and I looked on from my computer. Then the Red Carpet coverage of the Golden Globes happened, which reminded me that I care way too much about some celebrities. We then watched the awards, ordered some more food, and went to bed.

We were lazy this weekend. It was nice. Sort of the perfect way to spend the last weekend before Rob starts class again and our apartment building fills up with noisy undergrads returning from winter break for another semester. 

A weekend morning at home means I finally got to break out my new espresso maker.

Cutting carrots for beef stew.

Paleo-friendly Brownies. I can't stop eating these. Recipe courtesy of The Paleo Project.

Sunday morning productivity. Word document is open. Just doing a little research on Mean Girls.

Sunday morning procrastination. I made all this food for the two of us after I started getting antsy at my computer.

B-dubs on the couch and some football. Rob's really cute. I like him.

What did you do this weekend? Do you have work or school this MLK Day?

Happy birthday, Dr. King!
