Out With the Old...

With the big changes that are in store for me in the near future I have decided {with much convincing from my mother dearest} that it was time to go through all of my stuff and clean out the garbage. I started by slowly going through random areas of my living spaces! I filled up  three huge bags full of junk that I have accumulated the past two years of my existence in this 636 square foot condo. Let me tell you this, when one gets junk mail it is imperative that they take the time to rip up all of the credit card offers on the spot and toss them into your trash can! Take it from me, they pile up! For some reason I had about 20+ credit card offers stored randomly though out my tiny home. {Can you say hoarder tendencies?!}YUCK! Not only did I find old mail to be perfectly stored in my house, but I had an enormous pile of work from my fourth grade smarties that were supposed to have been put in "file 13" since Christmas break! blast!

Unfortunately I didn't get an opportunity to snap a picture of my enormous bags full of garbage! Dang it! I wish I was able to show off the accomplishment I made in getting rid of all of the junk that has been cluttering my space.

After I finished my common space in my condo I moved on to my bedroom... Now I like to think I go through my hanging clothes pretty often {yep, I am always on the hunt for additional hangers and will do whatever it takes to scrounge up some extras and if that means donating a couple of shirts to one of the nearby SAVERS stores!}. Needless to say I immediately ruled out going through my hanging clothes and went straight to my dresser to go through all of the drawers!

In no uncertain terms, I made a lot of progress! 

Massive pile of clothes for donation!

 

I have definitely made enough space in my drawers for everything to fit comfortably and for my drawers to close more easily! Thank goodness!

Currently Monday:

Outside my window... the sun is setting, and my poor poor plant is looking like it has seen better days!

The time is... 7:49pm. Wishing I lived in a time zone where the shows I am so stoked to view were on earlier in the evening

Today I feel... too exhausted for it to be a Monday, but equally I am way too excited for it to be a Monday

I am thinking... about the madness of one of the classes I just finished taking (and hoping that it turns out in my favor).

At the moment, I am thankful... for all of the blessings in my life! I cannot believe how fortunate I am that I was given such wonderful people to surround myself with.

I am going... to watch the season premier of The Bachelorette", and quite possible in real time (meaning 30 minutes behind so that I can skip commercials)

I am wearing... My clothes from work still... I will certainly be changing into my comfy clean clothes as soon as I get the energy!

I wish... that it would be the end of the month already! I am way excited by the things (hopefully) to come in the near near future!

I am reading... a "Fees Breakdown", woah I feel so grown up! For funsies I am reading "If You Were Here" by Jen Lancaster. Jen is such an entertaining writer, she literally makes me laugh out loud with the awesome things she says. This is the second book I have read that she has written.

I am working on... trying to plan out the awesome things to come for my kiddos the last 3 weeks of school! I smell an Author Party coming on!

I am hoping... that life continues to be so awesome! Positive vibes in the universe for sure!

I am hearing... my standing fan rotate around my little living room while watching reruns of "Celebrity Apprentice"

I bet you didn't know... that I am trying to teach myself to paint my fingernails, I find left hand painting my right hand to be one of those things that either you can do or not... it must be genetic!

One of my favorite... snacks is chips and salsa! Yep, I am indeed from New Mexico!

My weekend plans include... sleeping in until 7am and catching up and re-watching some of my favorite recorded tv shows from the week! (I like to have them on while I am getting ready in the morning but don't often pay much attention).

{Insert Title Here}

I cannot believe that it has been about 6 months since I last posted!
Please forgive me out there to the 2 people out there in the universe who read this little online momento!!

Wow!

I can't believe that I have finished my courses for my Master of Arts in Early Childhood Education are complete. It is insane that I have completed all of the courses in two fall semesters, two spring semesters and one full load of summer courses {4 classes}. This last semester was through and through my most difficult semester ever!

I am so exited to have this chapter of my life come close to an end {just have to wrap it up with my big test next fall}. I cannot believe that it is over...

I hope all of you out in blog land and my IRL {in real life} friends, are enjoying the chapters they are on, and if they are coming to a close: congratulations on your accomplishment!

I  have some new and exciting things happening at the moment that I hope to share by early June {fingers crossed!}
