:]
May I just say one more time how wonderful phone conversations are! Love them. Also, I just got my response for the dinner table prompt from Juanita, and it’s probably in my top four favorite by far!

Pro:Oh my gosh dinner! Elena’s Pomodoro pasta, Black Falksalt, and Parmeasano Reggiano Mmmm soo good :] add a couple strawberries while I cook and a glass of white wine and I am a happy camper let me tell you. Also Hatha yoga was AMAZING tonight. I am SO glad I went. I feel so happy now!
Con: Instead of doing homework I’m making phone calls.
Pro in the con: To the mother figure and...

Pro: Dancing for sure! Matt and I got some smooth moves down throwing me up in the air and kicks and what not. Even got asked to teach a little bit. Sometimes I forget how much I love dancing, and one night isn’t like a satisfaction, it just makes the craving worse. I’d dance all day if I could.
Con: Once again, my day was consumed. I worked and ran errands and had about an hour and a...

Pro: Yoga! It was so great :] and an unexpected friend was there. I don’t know why I ever skip class, I love it so much.
Con: Turns out when I have class all day I don’t have time for homework… Boo.
Pro in the con: It all gets done in the end. I will suffice with mild underscored panic for the time being haha

Pro: Although there was a pretty big lull in the day, I got quite a bit done. I’m ahead in about half my classes and on schedule for the rest (I think). Going to try and kick it up and get a week ahead in everything.
Con: Completely skipped yoga to sleep in…
Pro in the con: Meg and I had a really good gym session this afternoon. Muscles are super sleepy now. Worth it :]

Pro: Knowing that his family likes you because they ask you directly to come over or go on trips before asking him if you want to go.
Con: Got nothing done school wise.
Pro in the con: While I was getting nothing school wise done, I did get a nap :]
1•21•12
Pro: Dad’s birthday for sure :] The grandparents, Kevin, Riley, and Kris all came over. After the grandparents left, instead of Meg and I leaving like usual, or all of us going downstairs to watch a movie, we busted out cards and played poker, and Uno, and dice. We had cake and ice cream and a yummy dinner. Lots of laughter for sure. And I got to end the night with snuggles and good...

Pro: Loved my chat with my advisor! We had a great talk about WA. Turns out we’re from almost the same area. I had recognized the beach on his desktop.
Con: Alright. So, this is entirely superficial, but I have a sty on my eyelid, and it’s driving me crazy how I look. I hate that the first impression I make will naturally be flawed no matter what I do.
Pro in the con: When I was...
Justin Moore had it right:
Give me a Saturday night, my baby by my side, a little Hank Jr., and a six pack a Light, an old dirt road and i’ll be just fine. Give me a Sunday morning that’s full of grace, a simple life and i’ll be ok here in small town USA.
