7 Quick Tuesday Takes

Thanks for all the support on my Monday Five post and my Living Out Loud post.  It really means a lot.

Update: the hubby had a good meeting with a temp agency yesterday and might find out about a potential position today.  This agency has been good to our family, employing the hubby before, as well as my mom and my brother.  Fingers crossed!  And there's another good lead that I'm hoping for, so I'm feeling more positive today about our situation overall.  I have this gut feeling that things are going to work out not just okay, but really well... eventually, at least.

And now, 7 for Tuesday:

1. I do not understand why students, upon entering a computer room, will leave if the one computer they wanted isn't free even if there are several other available computers.  I just don't get it.

2. This morning I had on my coat and my hat and was putting my gloves on when Buster peed on the floor.  Really?  Really, dog?  You couldn't wait TEN MORE SECONDS?  I wanted to punt him across town.

3.  Nate's wake-up time for the past week has been 6:45.  Why, Nate, why?  It used to be 7:15, which seriously feels so much more reasonable than 6:45.  (And he has a cold now, aw.  He is a big booger bomb.)

4.  I mixed in some hot chocolate mix with my coffee at work this morning (all free).  It made for a really nice treat and a welcoming way to start my day at work.

5.  I have several Pioneer Woman recipe attempts that I have to post about.  I am totally dedicated to posting something about that tomorrow (possibly even with pictures!).

6.  I want to make a vision board.  The visual space around me really affects me (clutter makes me crazy - I literally have trouble thinking straight in a cluttered space) so I think looking at a vision board every day (even passively) would have a positive affect on my personal journey, hopes, ambitions, and achievements.

7.  There's a student at work who was sick and lost all her hair, but now it's growing back in and she has this really adorable super short hair style.  Possibly to compensate, she's accessorizing with really great earrings and scarves lately and looks so incredibly adorable that it makes me want to cut my hair short and wear big chandelier earrings.  I find it really beautiful that in the midst of something difficult, one can find something new for or about themselves.  I think she looks more beautiful now than she did last year (and I'm happy that, while I don't know details, I did overhear that she's fine now).
