current shame-inducing guilty pleasure: yummy, sugary coffee. i was supposed to stop drinking it december 1^st but that just didn’t happen. its not very often, but i have met quite a few friends that ive been meeting for coffee lately so ive had some extras. its just so delicious:/

current obsession: grad party planning! picked a place yesterday and now i just need to finalize plans with the manager today. then i can order all the fun party supplies! im so super excited.

current drink: water and more water. finally back to the good things!

current song: two black cadillacs by carrie underwood. i tell you, hell hath no furry like carrie underwood scorned.

current wish-list:

·         get my 2013 race calendar together. after surf city i don’t really have a lot of plans. although i think i may have committed to a few yesterday!

·         find clothes that fit. that includes work clothes, everyday clothes, and running clothes. hey it’s a wishlist right?!

·         to let it go. it doesn’t mean im a bad person or that the other is either. it just means i need to cut ties where they need and move on.

current need: to stay focused for the next 11 days until my class is over! there are so many distractions this time of the year, but i cant forget about it just yet.

current triumph: having the whole family home for christmas:) having a brother in the military you never really know, but we were so blessed this year!

current bane of my existence: im gonna say it again…my final paper. its 30 pages people, really?! 30 pages. its due january 9^th  and that’s getting closer and closer. i really feel that im almost done, but not quite. plus it is always in the back of my mind till its finished!

current goal: to start making my new years resolution actually happen. it’s a little vague, and can include a few different angles if i wanted. that’s why i like it. i can tweak it as i go!

current indulgence: christmas cookies…ooooo yum!

current excitement: the fresh start 2013 is hopefully going to give me! i am in definite need of one and it is time to start a new chapter in my life:)
