12 on the 12th: March

Hi guys. It's that time of month again. You know, 12 on the 12th. Or the 13th. Or 14th. Whatev.

I have been feeling a little gloomy lately. Maybe it's the fact that I want the warm weather of summer to be here. Now. Instead, we get rain. Bummer. But, in honor of my gloominess, today's pictures are black and white. 

[01]  My last midterm assignment. 10 pages on the Appalachian English Dialect. Don't worry, I printed extra copies just in case you are interested in reading it. 

[02]  Remember last month when I changed my name? Bad move guys, bad move. I no longer exist according to my professors. It has been such a headache but I finally fixed all my classes before my midterms EXCEPT for my Children's Lit class. Instead, I got a big FAT X. No bueno. 

[03]  I lost my name tag around the first of the year. I finally found it in the VERY back of my closet still pinned to a shirt I never wear. I am glad to have my title back! 

[04]  Work has been slightly stressful lately. One employee quit on a minutes notice and two others have given their two weeks. The only thing that gets me through the day is rocking out to my favorite Pandora station. 

[05]  My desk at the end of my work day. Lately I have been sneaking back in after classes to finish up the excess. "2 A Days" of work aren't the funnest, let me tell ya.

[06]  Not going to bore you with the details, but imagine 10 more pages of this. Then imagine having to redo all of the information. For the second time. Argh. Good thing I love my job! 

[07]  On our honeymoon, Jake and I ate at this fun little Greek restaurant right on the beach at Coronado Island. I loved it. Loved it! I crave Greek food just because of this restaurant. Today I ate a gyro at the Brass Rail Steakhouse in the hotel I work in. DELISH! Took me back to my honeymoon. [What? So what if I did just put a shameless plug in for the hotel? It's my blog.]

[08]  I told you, what a gloomy day!

[09] I have had my iPhone for about 9 months now and I BARELY found the zoom button on the camera. Goodness, that thing was elusive! 

[10]  I met Jake for dinner on his break from work today. He sure knows how to make my gloomy day just a little brighter. P.S. I am not loving the effect weird picture scaling has on my face. Not loving it at all. 

[11]  My sister Jessica sent me a text a while back saying that I should watch Downton Abbey. I brushed it off until one late night boredom strike hit. LOVE IT!! I wont tell you when I started watching it but tonight I will finish the final episode. 

[12]  So...my husband might be just a little baby hungry. Or maybe just a lot baby hungry. Either way, his wife is not. So to push of the pressure a bit I told him we had to meet every goal on my "Little Baby Bucket List". The list keeps getting bigger and bigger...
