Mixplate Monday 9.19.11

It’s been a bit of a crazy month — yup, that’s how long it’s been since the last time I posted for Mixplate Monday! Sad face :( But I’m back, and I’m gonna try to keep up with blogging a lot better than I have been lately!

Last Week’s Highlights

  • Two study sessions, one at the Kalihi library and one at Salt Lake/Moanalua (free wifi!)
  • A couple of late afternoon’s at work, no bueno
  • One poke bowl for dinner. I can’t believe it, only one day last week!
  • A botched study session with Tiari led to Costco and wine night with her fam; Good times with my two boys, Tyxae & Brucey!
  • Buca di Beppo and Contagion with Matt & Megan
  • Caught up with Doctor Who in time for the new episode; I am officially a devoted Whovian!

Weekend Happenings

  • An insane amount of laundry
  • An insane amount of homework
  • The UH football team broke my heart with their road loss; At least we had good food at our house!

Other Stuff I’ve Been Up to Lately

  • Saw 30 Minutes for Less and Warrior. Will probably see Warrior again ;)

  • Finally signed up for the YMCA and a Costco card
  • Planning a surprise party!

On The Agenda

  • Get back to my Acai smoothies that I skipped out on last week
  • Pay all my bills so I don’t miss anything while I’m on vacation
  • Start writing out my packing list (I’m that OCD about it)
  • A few workouts at the Y and a groceries trip to Costco
  • Looking for a good pair of slippers

As Of Today

  • Eating // Leftover pizza; I’ll eat healthier tomorrow, lol!

I wanna know // What were your recent highlights? And what are you up to?

Cheers!

Link Lovin’ 9.7.11

I’ve been so bogged down with work, school and trying to have a personal life, that I haven’t found made the time to blog at all! But I miss my little space for writing and sharing whatever’s on my mind, so I definitely need to work on it. In the mean time, here are some links that have been hanging out in my Google Docs for a while, waiting to hit the blog!

  • I get a total kick out of reading what’s in other people’s makeup bags. I might do a post like this of my own soon.
  • I wish I could find this kind of peace with losing my job last year. I’m not there yet, but soon <3
  • Take a peek into Lindsay’s daily life.
  • Zoe went to Versaille! How amazing!
  • I’m officially a Restoration Hardware fan.
  • This colorful floor project is brilliant.
  • Naomi & Josh were in the sweetest bride & groom photoshoot.
  • Ohemgeezy. I want Kurt Sutter to come back to dinner. Even more, I want to go to Thanksgiving dinner at his house!
  • Almeida’s exotic drama makeup look is so gorgeous. And I have all the colors she used so I want to give it a try.
  • These two videos are pretty amazing.
  • Famous logos with hidden images.
  • This shop has some of the prettiest iPhone cases ever; too bad mine is still so brand new.

I wanna know // What’s rocking your corner of the interwebs? Got any links to share?

Xoxo,
Tiera
