So, this weekend was a lazy weekend. My boyfriend is recovering from the flu, so we watched kids movies like ‘monster house’ and I made brownies (which we consumed both for breakfast and brunch!). On Sunday we decided our balcony needed some more greenery… so we bought a bunch of flower pots and a selection of our favorite herbs. I never realized how much fun it would be potting herbs! I lack the secret ingredient of ‘Green Fingers’… but with a little singing and some Mozart playing softly in the background, Basil, Cilantro, Rosemary, Chives, and Parsley may live a happy 9 days and 21 hours. However, with fun always comes cleanup… my balcony looked like a marsh after we were done.

So, thinking that my homework wouldn’t take that long this weekend, I left it all for President’s Day. Bad idea! Somehow it took a good 17 hours longer than I had anticipated. Okay, to be fair, the procrastination monster did wave the TV in my direction for a good 40 minutes… and the ‘I may be hungry’ temptation dragged me to the kitchen on more than one occasion, only to stare blankly at a fridge full of healthy food (which didn’t have the same kick as the previous day’s brownies). Well, somewhere around 3:30 am I dragged myself to bed. I can’t sleep if I haven’t finished what I started… plus it is due today and I have a full day at work. And then I lay in bed for a good 30 minutes wondering if I should change some of the wording in my project.

So, when I woke up at 7:05 this morning, it is understandable that I am not looking as cheery as usual.

Anyway, back to work… after a quick cup of coffee (or five) to keep me awake!
