Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a good week! Mine is good but busy, lots of classes, work to be done and appointments. I have to be honest, I’m getting nervous about finals starting next week! I think I’m mostly nervous about my motivation to study very much… Number one goal: PASS. Ah stressing me out, okay, let’s move on to Thursday Thoughts so I can stop thinking about finals…
1. Thank you for all your comments on my post Tuesday. I saw a lot of you could relate and many of you found it helpful. I’ve certainly found it helpful, even just over the past week!
2. This picture was included in my One Word Wednesday post yesterday, but I had to add a few more words. THESE ARE SO GOOD. We all know I’m a fan of Quest Bars but I’m so excited that I finally got to try the cookie dough flavor everyone has been raving about!
3. This weekend starts my kickball league! I joined a kickball league with Emily, we have a game every weekend for 8 weeks. I’m excited because Chicago has a ton of these leagues and I’ve always wanted to try one!
4. The fact that my building even needed to post this warning concerns me:
5. Tomorrow is my last day of class. My very last day of class ever. EVER. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Oh and of course I have class from 10am to 5:50pm. Gotta go out with a bang.
6. My brother and sister-in-law sent me a couple pictures of Molly in her old Halloween costume. I died. (she’s a frog).
7. It has been so hot here in Chicago that I wore shorts to school one day, a sundress and sandals another day and I seriously should have put my AC unit in my window… I’d do it now but it’s cooling down again… Anyway, I LOVE IT. LOVE. I am totally a warm weather person.
8. This photo from our race on Sunday had me cracking up. Kelsey was totally trying to steal my thunder. I must intimidate her…
I can’t think of any questions today… What are your thoughts on my thoughts? Haha.
I would be worried for the people who need to read the big sign, like really would have thought that was common sense. Hope you have a great weekend!!
Exactly! It’s common sense! lol
Ewww bed bugs!! You’re so close to being done with law school.. yay :).
You’ll have to send Kelsey and me your game schedule so we can cheer you on at kickball!
Every Sunday at 1pm!
good luck on your last day of school! I want to try a questbar they look so good!
I love them! And thank you!
And what happened to those awesome temps from the past two days?!? I loved it too! 🙂 Gotta find that Quest bar flavor. I’m a huge fan of them in general, but haven’t tried that one yet. Congrats on your last class!!
Thanks, Michelle! And I haven’t seen cookie dough in any stores yet, hopefully it will start showing up soon!
Roaches and bed bugs?? Eww! Actually, we had a week where little roaches were coming through the wall — the one that is shared with our neighbors. We’re pretty sure the bugs had something to do with them (their apartment = disgusting), and they stopped coming in after a week! It was so gross, and weird.
omg I HATE roaches! They completely creep me out more than any other bug!
I nearly died after reading that notice… Too funny. Reason #5476 that Craigslist worries me…
I’m heading law school this fall and am so encouraged that you manage to look cute & eat well through it. Lets pray I do the same 😉
Hahahaha yes, that’s a good reason to be worried by Craigslist! And good luck with law school!
Ah kickball? That sounds like a blast! Have fun!
I’m so excited to start!
I neeed to try the Quest bars. They sound like the perfect study fuel. AHH I would wash everything immediately after seeing that. I guess there’s some truth to the statement “sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite” now?
Haha seriously, I’m hoping it was just a general notice of concern from our management company and not specific to any incidents in my building…
thoughts sometimes overwhelm me…so I just stare at a wall or something 😉
Haha whatever works for you 😉
They really need to get those chocolate chip cookie dough quest bars up here in Canada. I’ve been looking for them, but finding Quest bars in general around here is hard enough without looking for a specific flavour!
And that notice is terrifying. And why I would never bring in furniture off the street (although my brother found an awesome bar that way)
I haven’t found the cookie dough ones in store yet either! I got these directly from Quest Nutrition!
I can’t wait until Boston is warm enough to wear dresses and sandals. It’s definitely getting close!
We just had a random two days of heat – it was lovely! Haha back to cool weather today.
Congrats on finishing classes! I know that is SUCH a great feeling 🙂 And apparently I need to try quest bars…they are EVERYWHERE!!
Lol I’m kind of freaking out about it but I’m sure I’ll feel relieved tomorrow evening when it’s over!
Good luck with your last day of class and finals! 😀
Bugs terrify me. We once found a cockroach in our room and I slept in a friend’s room for 3 days after that.
Thanks, Beth!
😯 That health notice… omigosh… That would freak me out too. We don’t have roaches up here where I live, but bed bugs definitely wouldn’t make me a happy camper.
And oh man… last class ever. I remember that feeling. Enjoy!!
Thank you, Amanda!
I personally think you look really amazing in that race pic….
YES I can’t wait to come cheer you on!!!
I look pretty good. Per usual.
that is a scary health notice! hopefully that gets fixed quick 🙂
the weather has been rainy and a little chilly – hoping the weekend brings warm weather again for us!!
Haha I hope it was just a general notice from our management company and not specific to my building!
Yay for your last day of classes!!! AND for the warm weather yo’ve had – we’re getting a blizzard today and everyone is snowed in (we were without power until 9 this morning) – seriously…enjoy being outside when you can!
Oh gosh I heard about this snow storm! I hope it warms up again soon!
Hmm. Joining a kickball team is very very brave in my opinion. That was one of my least favorite activities during gym class. One time we played on a baseball field and I fell on my back while kicking because the sand came out from under me. GAH.
Did you ever take Molly to dog training classes? Because she just seems so good with pictures and you putting stuff on her… My dog’s head is always facing the other way and no way would she let me turn her into a frog. haha.
Haha I loved kickball! And Molly is my brother and sister-in-law’s dog and yes, they did puppy training classes with her. I guarantee you she’s staring a treat in those pictures…
Ya, I knew she was your brother’s dog. Slip of the tongue.
Duh, treats. Why didn’t I think of that? However, they will have to be carrots because those beggin strips go straight to my doggie’s hips 😉 Lol.
Omg that bed bug sign would creep me out! I have got to try those Quest cookie dough bars! Everyone has been raving about them!
They really are pretty good, but I love a lot of their flavors!
You’re SOOOOO close to being done!! Wahoo! Now that is a GREAT feeling. I remember it well. And life only gets better, I promise!
And so cool that you’re doing a kickball league!!
Haha I hope so!
not to cause undue worry, but as someone who works in property management I would read that sign and think, somebody in the building has reported bed bugs and they don’t want it to become a larger issue, etc… bed bugs are just miserable, but it’s also a problem that happens at world-class hotels, not necessarily related to cleanliness (tho they do love clutter to hide out in)
Use uber hot water and high heat for your laundry, vacuum often, and be aware and you should be just fine:) If you think they are in your apt, get on it with management immediately. spraying is NOT effective.
Okay, off my soapbox now – like I said, it’s sort of my gig so that letter to me reads a whole different way:P
BRAVO on classes and absolute best of all things on your testing process!
Woohoo for your last day of class! Enjoy it! Happy Thursday!!!
Thank you!
Apartment notices are always written so poorly in my opinion. That’s really comforting to read in the place where you LIVE. Not.
Love the dog costume!
Ahhh Molly is a doll!!!
YES!!! KICKBALL!!!! I should practice.
Congrats on nearly being finished with school!! 🙂 I feel ya on the finals thing… I’m nearing my last two weeks of the semester & it’s hard to motivate studying w/the warmer weather we’d been having here… although now it’s cold & rainy. Gotta love WI. lol
Molly is freaking adorable in that frog costume, love it! Oh, & I seriously NEED to get my hands on that cookie dough Quest Bar! They’re always sold out! Grrr…
That bug note is disturbing….almost as disturbing as the huge spider I saw run across my living room yesterday morning. I threw my shoe at it, but I missed 🙁
Katie!!
Just want to say you will rock the finals girl! Good luck!!!
How cute the pup pics are, haha!
AND I love that flavor quest bar, so so good!!
