reading externship assignment regarding habeas corpus 
writing ^ ^ ^ ^
listening to CNN about the 5-day hostage standoff in Alabama
thinking about how my mom is always complaining of ailments and hoping she’s okay
smelling hmm yellow rice being cooked for our family party today
wishing a few things: I get hired or don’t and know if I can start looking for fellowships in Hawaii; that I could see Timmy during his 72 this weekend (good for him!); that I didn’t have to take the Bar exam this summer lol
hoping my mom is okay; I get engaged this year (!!!!!)
wearing workout clothes … doing insanity soon
loving that the sun is out
wanting lots of new spring clothes – totally unnecessary though, and I have so many loans and expenses that take priority :
needing to figure out my Spring 2013 bill; read for class; eat better today
feeling energized; excited to work out; upset with myself over my bad eating habits yesterday
clicking through emails & my social media sites (I’ve now added an instagram button so feel free to follow me!)

Happy Saturday! The groundhog didn’t see his shadow so Spring will be upon us soon(er)!!!

Fitness Friday!

Honor Courage Commitment 

I’ve only worked out Sunday of this week. I do the Insanity workout. It’s been my favorite workout thus far.
I feel really bummed about it but law school and externing keep me way too busy.  I used to work out every other day but now it’s Fri-Monday, which is still 4x but since it’s not scattered, I’m not sure that’s as good. I try to eat much healthier and lighter on the days I don’t work out. . . So I guess it balances out?
After I’m done with my work, I will be making my way downstairs to burn some calories!
XOXO

Happy ____ !!

Happy February! That means it’s my little brother’s 18th birthday.
Oh how the time flies! I can still remember him as a little baby.
Photo: In honor of tomorrow's #birthdayboy, here's a #tbt of me & baby @louchristopher
I’m excited for him and proud of the young man he’s growing up to be. Next step for him: graduate HS and go off to college!!
And Happy See Timmy Next Month for Me! 
 
Haha I can say that now and I’m ecstatic. Time is moving along. My family will also be in Hawaii for a week while I’m there which will be nice when Timmy’s at work and for us to spend some time altogether in beautiful Hawaii. I was a little bummed at first because I don’t want to have to share Timmy or our time but in reality that’s what normal relationships are like. And I like to make ours feel as normal as possible.
I hope you all have a great weekend!! Since school keeps me busy during the week I might make a post or two 🙂
Xoxo

What. A. Day.

So today (tech. yesterday but I haven’t gone to sleep yet so I say “today”) I went to my 8:30am legal research class, only to [attempt to] turn on my MacBook Pro and have a white screen with a flashing folder and question mark pop up. I sat through class until 9:50am (felt 10x longer) and then hurried my way over to the Apple Store.
I said my prayers to God … and to the data/technology gods.
While waiting for my laptop to be repaired (thankfully, it was a wire connecting to the hard drive and not the hard drive itself that needed to be replaced) in the Meatpacking District area, I went to Le Pain Quotidien and treated myself to a Belgian Dark Hot Chocolate. I then finally visited the Chelsea Market!
Then, I picked up a housewarming present for a dear friend. (Sidenote: I love when Timmy and I appear on things together. It just melts my heart.)
I went on to my externship and made serious progress on my assignment. And then it was girls night out during restaurant week for some Indian food at Tulsi in the city – YUM!
I love NYC
Isn’t it pretty?
Appetizer – Tandoori Mushrooms… super yummy!
I am so glad today turned around quickly<3
