Need: To shop for presents!

I have had no time to buy presents this holiday season but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been looking. Here are some things I am loving.

Phone pouch to use when you are trying to have quality time with the Boyfriend (no that I get sucked into epic Angry Birds playing sessions or anything)

Babycook for new moms (I SO wish I could get this for two of my friends).

A beautiful photograph for a beautiful friend.

Jewelry for a lady friend?

A pretty ring.

Or anything at all from Jane Pope.

A Lego headlamp for a little brother or a nephew.

A cute hat for a little sister or a cousin (oh lets be honest, for yourself).

Need: Balance

Finals are finally over....uuh kinda. I still have two papers to write but thankfully one is 90% done (I hope) and the other is only 2,000 words. Piece. of. cake. That is if I ever get out of bed.

This finals period has been much more balanced that the last 4. I totally credit the boyfriend for making me step away from the notecards and go see movies and walk around and be outside. Going outside? Unless you are in law/med/ other grad school that probably doesn't really seem like that big of an accomplishment. Trust me, it is.

While it was better this time it wasn't perfect. Were talking about food. I have weird finals cravings (which makes me totally nervous for pregnancy...in 20 years, don't panic). One night I ate an entire bag of gummy bears (ok only the red and clear) for dinner. Pretty much if it required cooking more than 2 minutes in the microwave I didn't eat it.

This is a problem. 

Brain food. 

So now that I am free done for the semester. I am going to actually cook....stay turned to see if that really happens in the next week or if I continue to live like a 14 year old boy left alone. More pizza, soda and candy than is normal for anyone to ingest.
