What I've Been Up To...



I turned in my last final paper on Tuesday. 
The same day that I managed to accidentally injure myself and get directionally disoriented on campus for the first time all semester. 
It was awesome. 


Wednesday was a blur. 
But I think it involved sleeping in, spending some much-needed time with my mom, and trying to stay as far away as possible from the slaying Texas sun. 


It may or may not have also involved me watching a marathon of this show while consuming sugary cereal and sipping on sweet tea. 
Yeah...being done with finals feels good.
Who wants to know?


Thursday I went zip lining at my new POW (Place of Work). 
Wait, does that acronym normally stand for something else?
Don't answer that. 


Anyways...zip lining. In the rain. With a burnt orange poncho and a burnt orange helmet. 
(Had to represent...Hook 'em!)
It was the closest I've ever come to feeling like a superhero (poncho+zip lining = cape+flying). 
You shoulda seen it.


Then I returned home, rested and read this book. It made me laugh out loud. Like...a lot. 
Read the book people! And if you don't, at least promise me you'll take a look at her blog. K? 
Good. Glad we got that settled. *Air handshake*


*BTW, if you're in the market for...


...a start-of-summer, feel-good country song, I recommend this one. 
(Eric Church - "Springsteen")


Click it or ticket, baby. 


...a scripture verse, I suggest 2 Corinthians 5:7.


...a simple, worth-baking-just-to-smell kind of recipe, this one's 100% smile-certified.
(Pecan Pie Muffins)


They're good. Like pecan-pie-haters-will-soon-have-a-paradigm-shift kind of good. 
Says my 4 year old nephew, that's who. 
Granted, in less lofty vocabulary. But still. 


As far as what all tomorrow will bring, I'm not entirely sure. 

As far as what all Summer will bring, well...I'm not entirely sure on that front either. 


One thing I do know though is that when it comes to a close, when people ask me what I've been up to (which you know they totally will...busybodies!), I hope to be able to say that I've been spending a lot more time right here. With you. 


Thanks for reading. You rock!  


May you be inspired. Always.

*BTW = By The Way. Stick with me kid, and I'll make you a star. 
(Bonus points if you can name that movie! Haha.)
