Hey everyone! Are you all having a good week? Mine’s going okay, although I’m doing a really great job at procrastinating with my school work. Senioritis is no joke… And this my 3rd time being a “senior” (or last year in school). So I’m really good at it.
What’s a great way to procrastinate? A Thursday Thoughts post!
1. Check out my friend’s phone case! I thought this was the coolest thing, it blended in with the table! Okay, this was a few drinks in, but still, isn’t it cool?
2. My cousins’ dog, Mack (Mac?) is adorable. He even had his own place card for Thanksgiving (see behind him) and managed to not knock it over. It was interesting to see how similar his mannerisms were to Molly!
3. I finally bought my first ever lottery ticket! After seeing that the lottery was up to $425 million, I thought: “how can I win if I don’t play?” So before heading to the airport on Sunday I went out and bought the lottery ticket! It may or may not have taken me a solid 10 minutes to pick all my numbers…
**Edited to add: In case you were curious, no I am not the person from Missouri who won. I did not guess a single number correctly on all 5 of my tries… And yes, I am actually disappointed.
4. I made my Great Aunt Avis’s Cinnamon Gooey Rolls for Thanksgiving and they turned out great! I also made a gluten free version (not shown here…) that crumbled to pieces. Tasted great, but it was a giant crumbly blob of deliciousness. Oh well.
5. While I was at the store picking out my new Mizunos, a woman near me was practically shouting about how ugly the shoes were that the salesman brought her (she was a bit… older) and why anyone would wear such ugly shoes! (her shoes were white with some black. These are about what the shoes he was showing her looked like:
Seriously!? Haha they are WAY OUT THERE! I have a feeling she wouldn’t like mine…
6. When I opened up my school e-mail on Monday I was greeted with this gem. Not only do I have finals, a big paper and figuring out a career to deal with, now I have to take 2 hours out of my free day to learn how to pay back my student loans. Thanks, school.
7. I love blog friends. They are so supportive.
8. And finally, Molly wanted to share with all of you how she wakes herself up in the morning:
Do you like bright shoes or more muted colors on your shoes?
Do you have a cool iPhone case?
Bright shoes AND iPhone case all the way. 🙂 Color makes the world (and our workouts) happier.
I like your attitude!
Cinnamon rolls are my favourite!! And the first thing I thought when I saw that phone case was that I would totally forget it somewhere, ESPECIALLY after a few drinks. Haha. And I bought a Grantwood Tech Tuneband so that I can convert it to an armband for my workout without having to take it in and out of the case
Oh that’s cool, I haven’t heard of that kind of band!
I wish I had a cool iphone case, but the coolest one I had broke…I have a tendency to drop my phone a lot 🙁 So I’m making do with my bf’s old one for the time being. And I used to be all about the muted shoes, but I’m noticing myself leaning more towards the bright ones more and more…my newest shoes are purple of some sort…had to order them over the phone so I’m not sure if they’re actually purple or white with purple accents…we shall see!
Have you looked into getting an Otter? My friend always breaks her phone so she got one and loves it!
I love bright colored shoes! My husband has more than me though!! And no fun colored case, I’m boring. I’m going shopping today though maybe I’ll get one!
You should, to match your shoes!
Those cinnamon rolls look amazing! I like a little color to my shoes!
Color makes it more fun to wear them!
sooo..did you buy the popcorn or not??
I’m going to wait until finals begin… So Dec 10th or 11th that will be in my apartment. Feel free to come over.
Colourful shoes make my life better. I’m never happier than when I’m rocking my electric yellow Wave Rider 15s. Which I tend to do a lot as they’re essentially my new babies. 😀
Those cinnamon rolls look like they’re to die for!! Yum!
Also — ride out that senioritis. You may have a lot of work to do, but it’ll be the last stint before the “real” world, so make the most of it. 😉
Lol I don’t mind being a student, I just have zero motivation to do the work… haha. If I could just keep the schedule though that would be great.
Awww, I want a Golden Retriever so bad! Seriously, I’m 95% sure our next dog will either be a Golden Retriever or a German Shepherd.
As for iPhone cases, I’m super picky about them! I need it to be two pieces that cover both the front and the back of the phone. Those ones that just wrap around the sides don’t do it for me. Sadly, that seems to be what most places are making and selling.
I wear boring running shoes because that’s all they make in the style I wear! If only they came in bright, fun colors I would totally wear those.
You should get a golden RIGHT NOW! I will puppy sit. And what do you mean the case covers the front? Like Kelsey’s?
popcorn tins are the highlight of holidays. i wish I could buy one for myself, my grandma used to buy them each year but now they rarely find a way into my house. so sad because they are truly delicious.
You CAN buy one for yourself!
Student loans are not fun but those mandatory sessions are incredibly helpful (although they’re a huge time suck).
Focusing has definitely been difficult this week. I really don’t want to do anything.
Also, thanks for reminding me that I need new running shoes!
Definitely get new shoes! I’ve gotten injured twice by not getting new shoes when I needed them, I always found a reason to put it off!
I did not know trader joe’s had popcorn tins…I need to go there for sure now.
I love bright colors on my running shoes!
I think they just got them, definitely go get one!
Those cinnamon rolls look so good. I had a clear case for my iphone and I really didnt like. It wasnt durable because I drop my phone sometimes and I am so paranoid. haha.
Otters are great if you drop your phone a lot!
those cinnamon rolls look to die for. i haven’t had cinnamon rolls in FOREVER and i’m thinking i need to change that asap. i don’t have a phone case and i thank my lucky stars every time i drop my phone (like daily) that it hasn’t shattered yet. i’m tempting fate, i know. and i am all about the bright colors. can’t live without my hot pinks!
You should definitely change that asap! Haha and you should defintiely get a case! Although some cases don’t help too much, it often just depends on the angle that your phone hits the ground.
Bright shoes FOR SURE!! 🙂
I love cinnamon rolls. They look delicious, Katie. Nice work!!
It’s all my Great Aunt Avis’s recipe!
Hahaha I saw those popcorn tins when I was at Trader Joe’s on Monday and was definitely tempted! The huge poinsettias tempted me even more. Fortunately (?), since I take public transportation from TJ’s to my place, I was forced to be reasonable and not buy anything huge…my two hands can only carry so much, after all. (The peppermint white chocolate pretzel slims, however, were nice and small, so those definitely somehow jumped into my basket right before I checked out. Oops).
Oh I saw those, I wish I could have gotten them!
Haha that lady is crazy, I love those shoes! And I love Molly, so cute!!
She was very crazy, I felt so bad for the sales guy!
AHhhh, that meeting is the worst!
Not fun. Not fun at all.
Hahaha, those shoes are totally normal. People are strange, all people. I like more muted colors just because I like them to be able to be worn with other outfits and match. Most of my clothes fall into the “earthy” category of colors, so bright, isn’t my thing so much. I do like cell phone covers, but have no idea what happened to mine 2 years ago, so that is that. I love that the dog has its own name tag for Thanksgiving, and those rolls, gooy things, look soooo yummy and gooey and yummy!
They are so gooey, you bake them in a sauce and flip them over! So good.
I like bright shoes! Good luck at the meeting…paying back student loans is not fun, so maybe they’ll teach you ways to make it more exciting ;).
Lol, nope. Definitely not exciting. But oh well.
I have two kinds of shoes that I love to be bright colours: my running shoes and my going-out-sky-high-stilettos…those can be bright too. :-p
I’ve had such a popcorn craving all week, I’m thinking I’m needing to buy some this weekend!
haha those are both good types of shoes to be bright!
I guess I don’t really care how my running shoes look. By far the most important thing about shoes is if they can keep me injury-free as much as possible. She must have not been a runner!
Haha well I choose them based on what type of shoe I need first, the color is just the bonus!
Those cinnamon rolls look incredible!
bright shoes are the way to go!!
I love neon and bright colored shoes but I do admittedly get some weird looks when I wear them to class.
