Four More Things Vol. 10

Four Random Pictures in a Four Hour Time Frame

I had intended on blogging this on Tuesday so these pictures are from Monday.  They also aren't taken in a 4 hour time frame because I was going to turn it into a day in my life post.  But life.

Top left: It was America Day at work for homecoming week so I have an America shirt on & a red bow in my hair.

Top right: working out in the weight room for athletics.

Bottom left: A picture of my board with instructions for my students.

Bottom right: I had a date with a boy & he came over for supper.  He's not even going to get a name because he was so boring that there won't be a 2nd date.  I made bacon wrapped stuffed chicken & lemon parmesan asparagus though.  My food was amazing.

15 days until my 27th birthday!!

Four Secrets and/or Guilty Pleasures

I'm addicted to calamari with ranch from Bar Louie

I actually don't mind the smell of cow manure...it reminds me of spring/summer back in MN

I have considered multiple times changing the name of my blog

I can't really swim.  I can doggy paddle & as long as I can touch the bottom I'm a-ok.  But if I can't touch the bottom forget it.  It's really mostly because I can't tread water for very long.
