I like being contrary. I like Mondays.

Oh Monday, Monday. I'm rather fond of you.

I know I sound crazy, but hear me out. I've had my share of weeks where going back to school or work sounds awful, but lately I've been looking at the positive aspects of Mondays. It's a new week, new you!

This week is going to be marvelously awesome for a number of reasons:
*I'm done with all my midterms, so I'm that much closer to finishing out the semester, which means I'm that much closer to starting my nursing classes. The closer January comes, the more excited I get.

*My coworker just called and told me that the tamales I ordered from another coworker have arrived. Yessssssssss. *fist pump* (Rafa makes the best. tamales. ever!)

*Thursday is Halloween! It's little miss J's first Halloween (she's going to be a kitty cat), and Sam is going to be Darth Vader. I haven't tried Jules' costume on her, but Sam wore his to his school's Halloween Carnival on Friday, and he has perfected the Vader breathing sound. It's hysterical.

I can't wait to take them trick-or-treating! Last year wasn't so fun with my pregnancy back pain (but I did love my deviled egg costume), but my sister and I are taking our kids together.

*I signed up to be an independent designer with Origami Owl, which looks to be a lot of fun. Look at how cute this jewelry is!

I love how it's similar in concept to a charm bracelet, but in a new and beautiful way. I'm having so much fun making mockup designs.

*Saturday is my 5k race, and I get to run on this beautiful bridge:

I just love the Sundial Bridge. Hopefully the scenery will distract me from the inherent pain of 5k pace.

 

Breathtaking

Here's to a terrific week! I'm linking up with Marvelous Monday, so I hope your Monday is fantastic too!
