Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a great week! Time for another round of thursday thoughts!
1. I woke up this morning and I could barely see the buildings next to me, it was like a giant cloud had just settled down onto Lincoln Park. So weird!
2. Don’t forget that the Pretty Muddy run here in Chicago is in just over a week! If you’ve yet to sign up, check it out here! I will be there, bright and early!
3. I tried out the new White Chocolate Raspberry Quest Bar when I was in Colorado (found it at a GNC) and LOVED it! Big fan.
4. I had a KD Alumnae meet up at a restaurant/brewery Tuesday night and almost didn’t go. I was not in the mood when it came time to leave, but with a little pep talk from Maddie I was out the door and so happy that I went. Isn’t it funny how that happens? Sometimes the hardest thing for me is just getting out the door!
5. I’ve started a new Apartment Decoration board on Pinterest to help me organize/decorate my new apartment. I’m determined to finally have a space that looks like it’s occupied by a 25 year old and not a college student… Haha I still have all my sorority stuff on my walls!
6. I just started watching Orange is the New Black. Not sold on it yet, but it’s entertaining so far. Anyone else watch it?
7. I still haven’t seen this face since I got back! SO SAD! Need to go visit her soon!
8. I feel like I’m starting the day already exhausted by all the packing and cleaning I need to do in the next two days… So I think a change of attitude could help! I always look to pinterest for some of that:
Anyone have some good studio/small apartment organizing or decorating ideas?
What’s your favorite show right now?
Your apartment update is super, duper cute:)
oh that’s from pinterest, just an idea! I WISH it was in my apartment!
I watched the first episode of orange is the new black and it was a little too soft core porn for me. Everyone seems to like it so I need to at least check out the next one but I was expecting better given the hype
Haha it was a bit shocking but it gets better. I’m not a fan of too raunchy shows but I think it gets better as time goes on.
Cody and I are doing The Dirty Dash with some friends in a couple weeks, and I can’t WAIT! I would totally do that Pretty Muddy race with you if I were in Chicago. I bet you’ll have a blast!
That new White Chocolate Raspberry Quest Bar sounds amazing. Yummm.
We have a fairly small house with minimal storage, so I’ve had to get really creative. It forced me to get rid of extra “stuff” (which was a good thing) and Bed, Bath, & Beyond and Target are my best friends when it comes to organizing. I’m all about closet organizers, bins, racks, etc.
Well… we don’t know if we’re going to the race any more. We found out it’s not in the city but 45 min away and not train-accessible. So we’ll see if we can even get out there!
The apartment pic is super cute. I love the hanging mugs and the little table!
I finished orange is the new black and I really liked it. It was kind of shocking at first but the more you get to know the characters, the more it draws you in. Stick with it!
I finished it last night!
That apartment/kitchen picture looks SO cute!! I really need some serious decorating inspiration….and maybe an endless supply of money ;).
Haha I agree, I need a lot of money to make my apartment that cute!
Happy girls DO shine brighter!! I’m trying hard to shine today after a tough day yesterday too 😉
Think of the packing/organizing as a NEW chance to begin again! You’ll have so much fun decorating, I am sure 🙂
Aww I hope things got better! And I hope I have fun decorating, just wish I had tons of money to do it! haha
I also miss looking at pictures of Molly 🙁
I have watched the whole series of Orange is the New Black and really enjoyed it, but like you I wasn’t 100% sold to begin with… persevere!
I finished it yesterday!
Obsessed with that coffee station! It’s so cute! I want it. And then I start adding up how much it all probably cost, and I’m over it.
I must say, I’m pretty obsessed with OitNB. Something about it just pulled me in (and then I watched every episode in like, 2 days).
Haha seriously, I think decorating will take me a long time with all the $$ I’d have to spend.
ugh i hate packing too! not looking forward to having to pack up all my stuff again to move back into school (but very much excited to go back, haha).
& i’ve been wanting to try that new flavor of quest bar but haven’t gotten myself to GNC! hopefully i’ll be able to go sometime this week!
Good luck with your move back to school! I loved the new school year, so much to look forward to!
I watched the first two episodes of “Orange is the New Black” and it is quite graphic(?) at times? Haha, but other than that it was pretty interesting. Not sure if I’ll finish it or not. Also, I LOVE the white chocolate raspberry bar. When baked in the oven for 5 mins it tastes just like cheesecake!
Haha it’s pretty graphic… but I like all the background stories of the inmates. It gets pretty interesting.
Oh my goodness…pinterest decorating boards…how would ANYONE have a furnished and cute apartment without them? I’m just starting my own right now for my new apartment in austin, TX. Loved looking through yours!
Good! I’ll have to search out yours!
I have watched like 12 episodes of Orange Is The New Black and I am still not sold. It kind of reminds me of the show Shameless (which I stopped watching and will never watch again) because it is entertaining, but as a whole, it just feels too depressing to be worth my time!
haha well there are only 13 episodes so you’re almost there! I just love all the background stories of the inmates, I think it’s so interesting.
I’ve heard about that show but am a bit skeptical… I have read both good and bad reviews but I think it’s high time I gave it a go myself!
Obviously the pup is looking too adorable for words in that picture. She is just one gorgeous dog 🙂 Not that you didn’t already know that hehe
And yes yum, that new quest bar flavor is rather tasty! Though the cookie dough one still is #1 in my book
It’s a little shocking, but pretty interesting! Worth giving it a try.
I can’t wait for The Crazies with Robin Williams. Right now though, I love Motive and Rookie Blue
I haven’t heard of those! I’ll have to look it up
