Weekend Wrap-Up: Father's Day

Recipe: here

This past weekend we celebrated Father's Day (I saw some lovely blog posts yesterday!) Considering the age and ability of both my brother and I, we decided to do a bit more than draw dad a picture and simply wish him a nice day. We bought him a DVD that he wanted, and humorous card (that may or may not have been completely accurate in describing ourselves to him) and on top of that made him probably the best lunch ever. Seriously...how did this guy get so lucky?

But Father's Day came and passed and now it's back to work, right? And in the world of retail we are on to our next big adventure: 4th of July! Get that shopping done!

How was your weekend? How did you celebrate Father's Day?

After a long work week it's nice to know that starting at 5 o'clock this evening I have the weekend to relax and refuel. I might even pick up a pair of those flip flops featured in my summer wishlist post yesterday--I have noticed that they are on sale! :) But for now here are my favorite pins of the week!

Summer Wish-List

As I have been earning my money over this break I have been restraining myself against making any splurges or unnecessary shopping sprees. Let me tell you, so far so good! However, I'm not one to completely cut myself off...that would just be too painful. So I've decided to continue holding off but compile a wish-list. My birthday is next month so hopefully I will get a bunch of gift cards and money to spend (while putting some away for school; because I'm that responsible!)

Really there are only 3 items on my list so far...but the summer is young! I have been eying both the LC Lauren Conrad Valencia flip flops and the Elle denim jackets at Kohl's. I need new flip flops and would like a denim jacket as well. I am also in love with that vintage style swimsuit that you see above. I'd even go for that color. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure where this suit is from but I imagine that I might have some luck looking on ModCloth.

What items are on your wishlist this summer?

A Little More Positivity

Photo: here

Good morning everybody! 

Once again we find ourselves waking up to Wednesday and seeing another weekend on the horizon. The purpose of today's post is my attitude as of late. I think I've been really negative and maybe a little lazy and grouchy these past few weeks. I've been thinking a lot about work lately since some changes occurred that stressed me out a little bit. The thing is...it shouldn't be stressing me out. I'm the kind of person that let's something worry them and then continues to worry about it. I have a constant lump in my throat. 

But I have decided that this summer is only going to get more and more miserable if I keep up this frame of mind. So here's what I am going to do: since writing comes easier than talking to me I am going to start journaling again. Anytime I feel overwhelmed or worried about something I am going to write it down, close the book and leave it at that. I am going to wake up every morning and remember that it's a new day and yesterday's issues are not my problem today. I'm also going to make the most of the summer and find motivation to do more and make more plans (albeit evening plans but still...)

How do you keep a positive attitude?

Book Club

Well they must have sensed my excitement at a three day weekend because last night I got a call to cover an 11-5 shift today. Oh well...I just have to keep telling myself, 'I'm getting paid for this.' Regardless of the quick ending, this weekend was lovely and relaxing. I am almost done reading The Devil Wears Prada.

Since I turned in a bunch of my textbooks to Amazon I have been buying up books on my Kindle. The next two books I have lined up to read have me very excited. After I finish this one, I will immediately be jumping into the recently released sequel Revenge Wears Prada (here) by Lauren Weisberger. Then after that--considering my schedule--I imagine I will be reading Someday, Someday, Maybe (here) by Lauren Graham on the beach in July. I have read a lot of good things about this book so I do have some expectations going into it.

What books are you reading this summer?

Friday is finally here!

I have a three day weekend now and I couldn't be more thrilled (I am thrilled anytime I have days off!) Yesterday I did accomplish more than I usually do on a rainy day; I updated my pin board that I am using in my dorm so that it matched the color scheme of the room (black and white) I will post a picture once I have charged the battery on the camera! Anyway, here are my pins of the week!
