January 29 – February 4

 

1. New Moleskine, specifically for Task Juggling purposes. (And new Post-it flags)

2. Worked on what will hopefully be my first blog post for my internship, assuming I can gather the balls to finish the dang thing and send it in.

3. Had friends over for drinks + Wii games on Friday night. They couch-crashed for the evening, which means… SORELLA’S FOR BREAKFAST. This isn’t a picture from this particular weekend trip to Boston’s finest brunch establishment, but this is the kind of eating that was had.

4. Followed up epic breakfast with a day full of dreary labor: grocery shopping, eight loads of laundry, lots of vacuuming, visiting the local Comcast office, and TAXES.

5. Followed up that nonsense with free PBRs, leftover from a trivia victory we almost forgot about. They taste better when you earn them.

6. Found the first job that I am excited to apply to. It’s in Chicago. But it doesn’t pay great. But it’s negotiable. But I’m nervous. But I’m excited. But I have no time to decide things/write resumes.

Reading:

• Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu
• Pearl by Jo Knowles
• Marriage Rules: A Manual For the Married and the Coupled Up by Harriet Goldhor Lerner (love this book, btw)
• To Timbuktu: Nine Countries, Two People, One True Story by Casey Scieszka (yes, daughter of Jon)
• Sex: A Book For Teens by Nikol Hasler

Listening to:

• Bill Bryson’s In a Sunburned Country on audio
• More This American Life. I am running out of episodes!

Watching:

• Downton Abbey. Willingly watching Masterpiece Theater makes me feel like the oldest person, but I can’t resist!
• How I Met Your Mother. I may or may not have restarted from Season One. And by that I mean: I restarted from Season One. Such a junkie.
