I love days off. I think I have mentioned this more than once.

So I had two days off, worked two, and had two more off. Such a relief after the mega amount of work I did the last week. I had a student both days I worked which is awesome because I get paid more when I have a student, but sucks because it is way harder to get my work done when I have to explain every step of everything that I do.

On Wednesday Gabe and I went to Ikea and it was awesome. I got a curtain rod and curtains and Gabe helped me make them the right length by pinning them. I had to buy an iron because mine completely broke and these are no sew curtains. They came with iron on adhesive so that I just ironed the bottoms to the right length and cut off the extra, I am super pleased with the results! I think it brings the dining room together and I am so glad to have a way to cover the huge screen door! My kitties were quite helpful as I was ironing. They thought I was doing super fun stuff. If they only knew. Haha. Ill have to take a better picture of them open because that is how they will look more of the time. :)

I got a new table runner for the dining room at Ikea too. I have ironed it since I took the picture (didn't own an iron when the picture was taken haha). I love it though! I bought a 4lb container of strawberries the other day at costco and we just ate the last of them today. I think they lasted 4 days. I want more already!

I am super addicted to a show called Downton Abbey. I stayed up one night when I got home from work to watch an episode and my kitties kept me company. I don't usually get addicted to shows and want to watch them all the time but I seriously can't stop thinking about this show! Ridiculous I know.


I didn't take a picture of them but I made snickerdoodles on Thursday for a going away party for one of the students on our floor who had completed her 240 hours. These cookies are amazing. I forgot how good snickerdoodles were, thank you pinterest for reminding me! Amber and Candice, you will be addicted if you ever get a pinterest. I know Becca and I are!

In other news I have swam 4 times a week for the last three weeks! I am so happy I have gotten in a good routine. I think I will only go three times this next week though because Paul and I are going out of town Thursday through Sunday for my cousins wedding in Portland. We will be staying with my Grandparents in Salem and I can't even tell you how excited I am for this missing vacation!

  1. Haha, I'm afraid to get a pinterest account! I need time to get just a little more housewifely. If I did get one I think I'd only do it for recipes, not crafts or anything crazy like that. We'll see...

  2. I am on pinterest! I've had an account for a few months already, why am I not following you?! I'm following Becca...I will follow you today. :)
    I really like your curtains and table runner, they look really good in your house! You are also making me want strawberries so bad, I might have to buy some on my next grocery trip. I made your Pho recipe the other day-it was AMAZING! I'm definitely going to make it again.
