Baked Potato Mondays are my favorite!

So I have been working at my job on campus for three weeks and a day and my current obsession is Pandora Radio. And naps. But not the latter during work. But anyways, it makes me feel semi-cool because it's like I have my own radio station of music I like. And I can say "thumbs down" and it will skip a bad song and ban it from my station. So fun.

I've been reading lots of different (children's/young adult/but really children's) books this summer. I am currently on the sixth book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, The Silver Chair. It's pretty good so far, but I only started last night.

Now that I am a college graduate, I feel all this additional pressure to use excellent grammar. This is only magnified by the fact that my degree is for educating young minds about English and Social Studies. So silly. Where is all this going? No idea. Except maybe I consider this an excuse for me talking slower.

I used to be an anti-Rachael Ray person (mainly because she's always on tv, being obnoxious and talking to her audience like they are children who haven't taken their ADD medicine) but in my Food Network afternoon marathon, I decided I enjoy her cooking. Not that she cares, but anyways.

Well I would really like a nap so I think I will indulge.

all you need is love...and a shiny aggie ring

So I'm still enjoying being a graduate (no school or GPR to worry about) but I am constantly getting the, "what are you doing now?" I think I have a mini-speech memorized that I say every time. Here it goes....

Inquiring person: "Congratulations! What are your plans now?"

Me: "Thank you...well I am working part-time on campus at A&M right now and will
start grad school in the fall."

Inquisitor: "That sounds <>! Where
are you working?"

Me: "The business office in the College of Architecture. It's been a
really great learning experience so far."

And then I try to run away. But anyways. I have been [attempting] to keep myself busy cleaning and organizing, cricuting, reading Alex Rider books, and trying to get a tan. I would also include working out but I would definitely not win Miss Consistent in a pageant. A workout pageant?

I have a bubble bath calling my name so I had better hang out with it!
