What's Making Me Happy This Week.

Pop Culture Happy Hour

I've been listening to the podcasts while I run, and people in my neighborhood/along the road I run down probably think I'm crazy, because i'm constantly grinning and laughing despite running moderately long distances. 

 They discuss everything from Lady Gaga to Fall TV to Zombies, and their childhood fears. It's great. They also have regular features to the show like "What's Making Us Happy This Week" (thus the name of the post) - which is pretty self explanatory and yet wildly entertaining. And the "Regrettable Television Pop Quiz" in which they play clips from truly awful television and try to guess the show it's from.

So what's making me happy this week (besides this entertaining and often intellectual[ish] podcast)?

My new running kicks!

Now I don't feel like I need a knee replacement after every run!

And Starbucks Peppermint Mocha - The obvious king of all holiday drinks.

So delicious!

I'm Baaaaaaaack!

It has been quite some time since I've last posted... The last few months have felt like a whirlwind of events, but in the same sense some parts feel like forever ago. . .

So, here it goes, RECAP:

1. SUMMER: spent at Bil-O-Wood! (where else?) I had my most favorite girls in the whole world again, many of which received their Voyageurette Hat. 

(I'm so proud!)

 I met some new (and old) aussies

Had some fun times in the great Canadian wilderness

(L! is for the way you look, at meeee!)

And had an all-around awesome time with friends, family, and the people I love.

2. SCHOOL: ugh. Stress to the MAX. But I still love it for some reason...

So far this semester I've seen a baby come into this world, 3 babies being pulled out of their mother's womb and into this world (aka C-section aka kinda icky), I've hung out with some schizophrenic and bipolar kids, and survived the first round of test-mania (for some reason all of are exams are within hours of each other this entire semester).

3. SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN: I feel like I've been exploring a lot the past few months, and will continue to do so in the coming ones. New churches, new faces, public radio, a trip to England, and an Etsy Shop are just a few of the things that have been on my mind lately...
