Rain, Rain, Go Away


It's raining.
And it has been all. Day. Long.

Now, I'm not usually one to bash the rain. A rainy day is the perfect opportunity to curl up and read a good book or catch up on some of my shows (I'm 3 episodes behind on Game of Thrones!)

But I had so much I had planned to do outside today, and I didn't get to do any of it because there was a storm! And let's not even talk about the power outage. Life gets especially difficult when the only light you have to read by is a tiny little book-light and that is dying.

Thankfully, the power came back on before I lost my sanity. (And before my book-light died!)

But I'm still upset at all of the things I missed. I was supposed to start my plan to become a "well woman" today! I was supposed to run (ahem, walk) a mile! And I, my friends, am certainly not doing that while there is thunder and lightning outside. It's enough of a struggle to get me to run when the weather is clear.
I've been trying to figure out an indoor activity to do today instead, but I haven't found anything that really suits me yet.

And the pool.

I didn't get to go to the pool! The pool at my apartment just opened for the summer this past weekend, but I haven't been able to go because of graduation, Mother's Day, interviews, cleaning, etc, etc. And now because of the rain.

Yes, curling up reading a book on my bed is nice.
But reading a book while laying out by the pool so much better.
Not that I would know, since the lovely storm ruined my plans.

I spent all day lounging around, reading a book (Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, if you're wondering) and playing QuizUp on my bed.


I am an ADULT. That is not how I should be spending my time on a rainy day!! 
(In all honesty, I should be working. But I have two interviews coming up, so hopefully that'll be remedied quickly!)

I should be lounging by the pool, enjoying my mindless novel and sipping something fruity while I try and develop some sort of tan.
See that white blanket on my bed? Yeah, it might be darker than I am right now. It's that bad.

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be nice a clear, with just a few clouds, so hopefully I'll just be able to enjoy myself tomorrow.
And I have an interview tomorrow morning, so already I'm excited!

I'll enjoy a nice run (walk) in the morning, go to my interview, treat myself to lunch, and then spend the rest of the day (or until I feel myself turning in Sebastian) by the pool! Sounds perfect.

Springtime!


I've been super MIA lately, but it's only because I've been outside enjoying the wonderful weather we've been having!!

Well, that and studying for the LAST FINALS OF MY COLLEGE CAREER!!

Basically, my life has just been a lot more exciting than usual.

The other day, I had so much free time that I got to take advantage of the fabulous weather and chill out on my balcony with a nice, cold glass of frozen sangria.


Now, I don't have the most beautiful view at my apartment, but it was still perfect for me to sit outside to work on my papers and study guides while listening to some of my favorite music (this week I've been on another Wicked kick)



I was able to be so focused and relaxed at the same time, which is definitely not something I'm used to.
It was quite a treat.

I love when the weather is consistently 80+, so I have been in Heaven lately!! And it only gets better, because my apartment pool opens up next week!!! I am so excited!

Has anyone else been enjoying the nice, Spring weather? I'd love to hear your favorite ways to take advantage of it!!
