Satisfying Saturday :)

I have realized that in a lot of ways I live for the weekend! All things good and great are the weekend! Since starting grad school, my goal was to do all my homework during the week (just like I did in undergrad). Needless to say....that hasn't really been working out for me. Hence, I find myself sitting at a coffee shop with books and computer in front of me in need of writing yet another paper. Despite this, I have found that I truly enjoy such "work filled" Saturdays. Who would have thought that work could be fun!? I mean, I love my job as a nanny and many days I forget that its my job, even to the point that I feel guilty when I get paid!

Anyway, I am rambling.... so what is so great about a work-filled Saturday? Well, let me tell you :)

1. Sleeping just the right amount, even if I did set my alarm
2. Seeing an albino squirrel when I walked out the door of my building this morning (either that or someone's white ferret is lose!)
3. Accidentally ending up at Target while looking for a Starbucks and then finding "that" purse that I have been looking for for FOREVER! Might I add that I haven't bought a new purse since my freshman year of college...so in almost 4 years!! I think it was time
4. Finally resorting to go to the Caribou that I know already and then getting 50% off my coffee because I had pink! Yay for having a pink wallet! It was a breast cancer special for the day. Lucky me
5. Writing a paper on my family's heritage and learning that I'm not just "American"! I actually have a culture! I'm basically Scandinavian!! My family fits the description so closely it makes me laugh!!
6. Meeting my best friend from college to share dinner at Olive Garden and see the new movie "Life as we know it" It looks cute!

Now....if the cute little grandma's having their weekly get together next to me would stop talking so loudly that the whole coffee shop could participate in their conversation....hmmm ha ha
