Looking forward
Funky town has passed – my semi-depressive state has moved on with the heat. Thank god.
A few things I did last weekend to cheer myself up; I slept, I cooked, I baked, I drank red wine, I read a book, I layed outside, I invested myself in a work project, I ran, I spent time with friends.
A delicious dinner that I spent two hours making on Saturday night, while listening to music and sipping on wine:
Chicken and asparagus pasta courtesy of Spark People.
Zucchini brownies courtesy of Spark People, only 100 calories each!
Oh, I also booked a trip home in September and planned two birthdays for myself; one in Kamloops and one in FSJ. Hey, a girl only turns 21 once, right?!
So, in light of my new, more-positive attitude I’m going to list some things I’m looking forward to…
In the next day, I am looking forward to Big Brother, tonight! Can’t wait for Jeff to use that mystery power to turn the house upside down. PS: Thank you, America for voting for Jeff. I <3 him!
In the next week,I am looking forward to going to see the Time Travelers Wife and Post Grad – two great looking movies. I adore Alexis Bledel and I get shivers every time I see a trailer for the Time Travelers Wife. Eric Bana is hot.
In the next month,I am looking forward to going home for a visit, celebrating my 21st birthday, starting school again and all my friends moving back to Kamloops for our fourth year!
In the next year, I am looking forward to graduating and getting my undergrad degree!! There might be more school in my future, but not for a few years, I hope 
OK, your turn! What are you looking forward to in the next day, week, month and year??
Woohoo! Glad you’re feeling better.
I don’t have a lot to look forward to in the near future…but I’m excited to graduate in the spring!
i can’t wait to see what jeff is going to do tonight!
Cute dinner setup!
Those are great things to look forward to!! I”m looking forward to….starting school!
Love this post!!!
You have a crazy/exciting year ahead of you – graduating is such a weird transition because you’re SO happy but there’s so much change, very quickly.
today? lunch with a friend I haven’t seen in 5 years! tonight? a group run followed by happy hour. that’s pretty much what’s on my mind for now! ha, all good things.
In the next day, I’m excited about finding out what I will be doing tonight.. (Little peeved,, people asked me to babysit and then gave me no details.. I have no idea if it’s still on!)
In the next week, my 2nd wedding anniversary…
In the next month… starting to teach Developmental Kindergarten…
In the next year… possibly making a baby.. woot woot..
Ooo, fun post (as usual)! Glad that the funk has passed. That dinner looked delish!!
Here’s what I am looking forward to:
In the next day = I’m taking Friday off & spending a 3 day weekend at the cabin!
In the next week = I’m going to The Time Travelers Wife with a girlfriend – can’t wait to see it. Eric Bana is so hot!
In the next month = changes on the horizon with my employment!!! Woot woot!!
In the next year = going to Tucson next spring for my sister’s graduation. I just spent the last 4 days w/ her, and now I am really missing her, so I am glad I already have a trip to see her planned!!
You are going to have so much fun and you have every right to celebrate your 21st as much as you want! Live it up girl! YAY!
Next Day: I don’t have to be at work until 9am tomorrow.
Week: True Blood on Sunday night with my man, sleeping in and moving my brother to college.
Month: Float trip at the end of the month with some of my best friends & their boys
Year: Vacation with Irish, finishing my masters, training for a half marathon
(I forgot about Post-Grad! I love Alexis Bledel as well. Can’t wait to see that movie!)
Happy almost 21er! I saw your parties posted on fb and was like FUUUUN! I’d be there if I weren’t so far away.
I’m looking forward to a weekend seeing friends and hanging out in the big city (Portland) and doing some shopping. AND catching up with a great friend who is coming back into town after being gone all summer at her law internship in DC!
YAY! You are out of your funk.
Delicious dinner!
I am looking forward to taking a nap after work today!
Great post!
Next day: tomorrow’s Friday – enough said.
Next week: Singing in my cousin’s wedding, and now Post Grad – I didn’t even know about that movie – I love Alexis Bledel – I was a hardcore Gilmore Girls fan!
Next month: Going to Ohio to meet my niece, and my birthday
Next year: My wedding anniversary this year (October), and next year (we always plan fun trips!), and moving out of our apartment!
Oh and I agree – that dinner looks amazing!
I was just thinking about how much I’m looking forward to Big Brother tonight. Cannot wait!
I love BB too! looking forward to Jeff stirring it up tonight.
Sat night dinner looks delicious.
PS-Way to go on making a gourmet meal and pepping yourself up!
PPS-Last night we got home from a 45 mile bike ride and I made salmon w/teriyaki/soy marinade, salad and rice. It was nice to finally get a real, home cooked meal in. Tonight, on the books is blue cheese burgers, chips and corn on the cob! MMM!
Not quite what you were asking, but that brownie looks awesome. Is that frosting on top? Yum!
Yay! Jeff did exactly what I hoped he would!! I so <3 him, too!
So glad that your funk is outta here! Sleeping + cooking + baking + wine + reading + laying outside + running + time with friends sounds like so much fun! And your dinner looks delish! Maybe I’ll have to try those brownies some time!
