12 on the 12th--exam recovery edition

1. Still in brain-dead, exam week recovery mode, I slept in and wasn't productive until an embarrassingly late hour.
2. I broke from my post exam weekend diet of brownies and ice cream to have broiled tomatoes and cheese. It was an interesting snack.
3. Then I had more ice cream.
4. This box of tissues was more full a week ago.
5. I came to grips with my many overdue to-do items, casualties of accounting. The furthest past its due date is "Take down the Christmas tree." It's still on my list.
6. Obtaining this roll of quarters was the biggest adventure of my day.
7. Three of my favorite shirts, all in a freshly laundered row.
8. I noticed that the bathroom was echoing and realized that there were no towels on the bars. It was laundry day for us all. Not an interesting 1/12 at all.
9. My dryer full of warm, clean clothes that I pulled out around 10:00 p.m.
10. Why are these outdoor stairs neighboring my apartment carpeted?
11. My tax reading study guide. I even took the time to make exciting letters to help make compensation a little more exciting than it already is.
12. My midnight snack. Kraft mac n' cheese and broccoli. I should have stuck with the ice cream.

Good grief, Emily. If I didn't love you so much I'd hate you. How the hell can you eat brownies and ice cream, ice cream and brownies and be the string bean that you are? It really is one of the greatest injustices of my world.
I do love you, though.

Ditto to Jess's comment. Life isn't fair.

Love the first pic. Cute tissue box!

I never understand carpeted outdoor stairs.

#11 made me laugh.

Although I don't do a 12 for 12 post, if I did, my days would look similar to yours...way too packed and starting to not be fun.

No breakfast.
No dinner.
Cottage cheese and fruit for lunch because it's quick.
Up too early.
Up too late.
Day after day...

But I certainly didn't have any brownies or ice cream!

Have a fun weekend!

This is making me want to go make brownies and make a trip to King Soopers for ice cream! #10 is the one that made me laugh. Actually, I chuckled a little on all of them. I love you and CAN'T WAIT until next weekend!

We've been having brownies and ice cream this weekend! And I'm sorry that "take down the Christmas tree" is still on your to-do list.
