wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy

Is that not a really weird thing to say? What does it even mean? How does P. Diddy feel in the morning...rich? Sleepy? Does he push snooze? Or maybe someone wakes him up becuase...well...he is P. Diddy? The world may never know.

Anyways, this morning I am feeling pretty good and that line is just stuck in my head. As of today I have lost over 5 pounds on Weight Watchers, I have Real Housewives of NY dvr-ed and waiting for me, it's Friday, and I allowed myself to eat a yummy asiago cheese bagel from Panera for breakfast. (Friday and Saturday are the days I use most of my WW flex points for the week.)

Still no new grad school news. Waiting on School #1 but that's ok...I'm still in a good mood.

And here is something else that is exciting: One of you will be winning this tote very soon!

Today is the last day to enter my first giveaway, I'll be picking the winner over the weekend.

random thoughts on Monday morning

• Today is the day that School #1 was supposed to have made their admission descions. Not sure how quickly that means I will know something but the waiting is absolutly killing me. I have also been stressing out a lot about student loans...I used to always say if I got into School #1 I would definitly go there and now I have been thinking more about School #3 (which I already got accepted to.) Going to School #3 would mean I could keep up some kind of job while there and thus not have to borrow as much. Blah. It's overwhelming.


• Speaking of going back to school...I am planning on getting a laptop soon. I actually don't have a computer right now I use K's laptop a lot and we also have his desktop set up in our "office" room. My computer from college broke right when we moved in together. I am leaning towards a Mac but I'm not sure. Any advice?


• Has anyone read the Sookie Stackhouse books? I am in desperate need of reading material and since I love True Blood I was thinking about trying them out.


• Finally I am getting my blog makeover! It's being worked on right now so watch out for that soon.


• Don't forget to enter my first ever giveaway by clicking here. You have until Friday at 8:00 pm EST!

first EVER giveaway!***CLOSED****

***THANKS FOR ENTERING, STAY TUNED FOR THE WINNER****

I was so excited when CSN contacted me about hosting a giveaway. Actually, I was beyond excited because it is my first ever giveaway. CSN literally sells everything from bar stools to pet supplies available in their stores...basically anything you could possible want!

With so many options I had the hardest time coming up with what to give you girls (and guys...if there are any reading this besides K), but when I saw this I knew it was perfect! And since I live in Maryland you can look at it and think of me.

Isn't it cute and summery? You could use it for a beach/pool bag, or a grocery bag, or whatever! The strap is long enough to go over the shoulder and the bag itself is 14" W x 16" D.

Here is how you can win:

For 1 entry leave me a comment on this post.
