Meet The Forecast.

{via}

We've had an ongoing relationship since I first heard this beauty:

"Some Things Never Change"

(check out the real video please! it's better x a gazillion :D.)

Which was quickly followed by this one:

"And We All Return To Our Roots"

(again with the real video)

They're pretty fantastic.
Don't you agree?

Happy Tuesday ya'll!

Celebrate my life

[post-dancing, my friend Jennie and me]

As most of you know, I just started my new job last week. Well, this week marked the first week of "officially" working with the kiddos, in more of a classroom setting. Basically, my job is awesome. You can be jealous; it's okay. ;)

I've been really busy the past two weeks what with starting my new job, ending my old job, getting ready for school, starting school, and trying to also maintain a bit of a social life.

The past two weeks were a little like this:

• Swimming, swimming, and more swimming
• Swing dancing to some live jazz downtown (see photo :])
• Homemade spaghetti dinner with my coworkers at their apartment- yum!
• Lunch with my boss and coworkers (surprisingly really fun)
• Enjoying the last of the summer sun
• Getting a slight sunburn because of said summer sun
• Lots of iced chais
• Lots of chocolate
• Finding some great sales and buying cute things
• Buying my very first car!! (with my own money)
• Driving my very first car
• Fixing up my very first car (thanks, Dad!)
• Registering my very first car with the tax office (yikes!)
• Getting to know some fantastic boys at work :) (I love my job)
• Spending some time with my good friend, R
• Scott Pilgrim with R for his birthday
• Girls night out with my sisters: French food and Eat Pray Love :)
• Starting classes
• Surviving my first week of classes
• Freckle multiplication
• And listening to loads of great music

That's pretty much what's been going on here with me, Baloney.

What have you all been up to? Anything fun?

It's time to hit the hay now, but first...

Today's Song: "Someday" by Sugar Ray. Seriously, I'm a 90's rock kinda girl. Probably because I grew up listening to this music? And this song just fits right now.

Happy Friday!

Have a great weekend all.

See you soon.

Maybe this time

I started working at my "real" job this week.

I'll be working as a recess monitor, teacher's aide, and after school provider at a private all boys school here in town.

Which is apparently a good thing because, as you can see, I get along so well with my friend J.T. ;).

I've spent a lot of my young adult life working with kids professionally and as an on-the-side kind of job (like this summer). When my cousin-in-law informed me that the school she had just gotten hired at was still looking for workers I jumped at the opportunity. I contacted the provider, was interviewed, and got hired almost on the spot. That was back in May.

So I've had the whole summer to think and stress about this job. Which, apparently, was all for nothing. The past two days have been great. The staff is like one huge family and everyone has been incredibly helpful and understanding as I've been trying to find my way. I really like the team that I'm going to be working with too. And the food. Oh, gosh. The food. It's all homemade. Which in itself is incredible. They also have a full vegetarian option for the staff (another plus). And yesterday they served ice cream sundaes to kick off the school year!! Yuuuummmm. If the first few hours at work hadn't convinced me how lucky I was to have this job, the ice cream definitely would have won me over alone. But I digress. I didn't get on here to gush about my job (or did I?). ;)

*subject change* I almost never carry prepackaged water bottles with me. It's such an unnecessary waste in my opinion, of both money and natural resources to purchase those bottles on a regular basis. Anyways, this past weekend I took my large pink plastic bottle out in the sun with me. Boy, was that a mistake. I mean, it might not have been that bad, had I not only left it in the sun for a few hours, but I also put my sunscreen laden hands all over it. Yuck. Talk about a mess. Apparently the oils from my fingers+the sun's 100degree rays+the greasy sunscreen=one heck of a mess. My water bottle has died the great die. *moment of silence* Long live the pink water bottle.

Jeez, Kaitlyn, ramblerambleramble. The point is that I wanted to buy some whipped cream in order to create the awesome sundaes I had at work; I needed a new water bottle because I get dehydrated easily and mine passed on; and I needed a new makeup bag (special thanks to Jessica's stinky Leonardo for chewing the zipper on my previous one). ;) So I went to Target after work today with my brother and bought the essentials....

And apparently got sidetracked by the new Hey Monday CD.

It just jumped into my hands, I swear!

Isn't it pretty?

I was considering getting a glass bottle but after dropping the plastic one three times while viewing it in the store, erred on the side of plastic. Not that I'm at all clumsy. Or anything. ;)

Enough of that. For now.

haha.

I'm excited to start the new year both at school and work. Hopefully things continue going well.

Did you do anything exciting this week?

Happy Wednesday!

Today's Song: "Lagrimas" by J.D. Natasha. I've been in looovvveee with this song since my best friend eva showed it to me in high school. This song is so incredible. Natasha is clearly a very talented artist. And the video? Wow.

How stinkin' awesome is this guy?

Well...I think he's pretty swell. Enough so that

Jonsi is my most current musical crush.

I just bet he'd be amazing to see live.

I especially love this one:

"Animal Arithmetic"

Isn't he great?

Happy Tuesday!! :)
