Currently I'm writing this from the comfort of my couch after sleeping in super late because work is closed for another snow day! Though right now there's only light rain and high winds, NJ is in a state of emergency as heavy snow is expected. Currently I'm drinking coffee, heating some maple brown sugar oatmeal, and enjoying the smell of that mixed with BBW Sunlit Cedar (which I'm noticing is no longer available? Huh). Anyway, here are some other things going on with me currently.
Reading: White Houses- Amy Bloom
Watching: Besides my usual shows I just watched Get Out, Lady Bird, and Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri so I'd understand some of the Oscar buzz. I still don't get the hype behind Lady Bird (including why that was even her name) other than that it was written and directed by a woman. I thought the other two were REALLY well done though!
Listening To: Never Over You- Rozzi
Cooking: Nadine's "best" burritos for dinner tonight!
Working On: cleaning out my closets and spring cleaning/purging in general.

| just kidding... |
Buying: everything. Lots of cleaning supplies, a few replacement items in my closet, and a new hat since this happened in a storm last Friday...and yes, that's the same hat I just posted last month. Sigh.
Feeling: lazy, comfortable, and cozy. But looking forward to tackling a few things around the house later today. Maybe.
Loving: Snow Days!!!
Wearing: Sweats lol.
Discovering: the Drop app. It's a free app where you automatically get points for shopping at certain stores when you use your linked credit or debit card. You can redeem the points for gift cards to other stores/websites, like Target and Amazon. I just started using it, but I like it because I don't have to actively do anything, like take a picture of my receipt or anything.
Planning: Vacation? Maybe? I'm waiting to hear back from my boss about a work conference in California (which I'd turn into a vacation tacking on a few extra days) in May, and also waiting for hotel details from my friend regarding her wedding in Key West this June. I'm not a fan of waiting.
Seeing: a lot of friends this Friday for a friend's birthday at a local hibachi restaurant!
Making: a final payment on a student loan on March 15th. I'M SO EXCITED! After that, I'll only have one student loan left to pay off.
Pretending: that I look like that second image in real life! Though sticking to a new morning and night routine is helping to clear up my skin, so that's a plus!
What's currently going on with you?
I still am wanting to see Three billboards... looks so good.
ReplyDeleteHold up... your hat - are you knitting that? & if so, are you leaving a string to do your pom with - to attach it to? I need clarification here on whats happening in that pic ;) haha
I really need to go through my closet! I keep forgetting that I have drop downloaded.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell!? The last time I looked at Drop (maybe a month ago?) it wasn't "available in your area". Though, truth be told, I don't need another one of those apps/accounts. I already have/use Shopkick and eBates. I'm at work but the powers that be are discussing closing the office so we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI wanna work on my night cheese with Liz Lemon too. Kidding. But it would be nice! I need to pretty much see all the Oscar nominated movies. I will at some point, but it'll probably be in time for next year's Oscars, haha!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you have to put up with snow, at least you get a snow day! And I had a work trip to California in January that I was able to tack on a couple of vacation days to - I highly recommend :)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about Drop - I might have to try it out. I still need to see Three Billboards and Lady Bird, but I do agree that Get Out is awesome!! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for snow days and being able to relax!

I need to look into Drop. Ibotta is a pain and swagbucks feels so icky.
ReplyDeleteOMG. So I loved Lady Bird. Adored it. I have a weird relationship with my mom, and I never quite fit in in high school. I found her so relatable - high school me would have likely ditched my BFF if it would have made me cool. I felt awkward. We didn't have money. And I loved how it captured the early 00s. Get Out is on my DVR but I plan to finally watch it this weekend.
I loved Get Out! Snow days do make for a great time to lay on the couch all cozy!
ReplyDeleteYour final student loan payment?! That has got to be one of the best feelings in the entire world. Awhoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI really need to start doing some Spring Cleaning but here in Wisconsin, it's not quite feeling like Spring yet with the snow on the ground. Yuck.
Have a nice weekend! :)
I should look into the Drop app. I'm always looking for ways to earn a little extra (especially if it doesn't require me to change my habits).
ReplyDeleteI loved Get Out! It's the only one of the three you mentioned that I've seen so far, but it was really great. I would definitely watch it again. I did watch The Shape of Water in the theater a couple of weekends ago, and I really liked it (and cried over it).
I need to do some spring cleaning and organizing, but I'm just so lazy. And I really just hate doing that stuff because it always feels like it takes forever.
Great job on the student loan! That's awesome! :-)
