I saw this little saying on Pinterest a while ago and though it was just the most adorable thing. What a good standard to use when finding your future husband.

Quick Dinner – Pasta with Ricotta
Monday nights are reserved for dinner at home. The BF usually works all day on Mondays so it’s just easier for us to eat in. Having recently discovered Pinterest and having a strange craving for pasta, I decided to search for pasta recipes for tonight’s dinner.
Thanks to the Pinterest community, I found this recipe – Bow Tie Pasta and Italian Turkey Sausage Skillet Meal. It was great! It was super quick and easy to make. I made some modifications. The BF doesn’t like sausage, so I just subbed ground turkey and added some garlic powder. He also likes spicy foods so I bumped up the red pepper flakes. The next time I make it, I’ll take out the mozzarella. I wasn’t a fan of it in there. I’ll probably just add extra ricotta.
Overall, great dinner. We’re watching The Firm now on the DVR. I just love quiet Monday nights.

Irrational Fear
One of my biggest fears is running into an automatic door.
I try to avoid the automatic doors at AJ’s on Camelback & 44th and the Chandler Fashion Mall. They open way too slowy.

2012 Goals – Read More
When I was a kid, I loved to read. Goosebumps, The Babysitter’s Club, The Chronicles of Narnia, etc – I absolutely loved reading. As I got older, I found myself reading less and less. I was reading for school instead of pleasure. When I started working, it was so much easier to read something quick like a blog entry or magazine than to sit down and really enjoy a book.
I’d really like to change that. This year, I’m going to commit to reading one book a month. I’ve selected the following books to start:
1st Half of 2012 Reading List
January – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
February – The Help
March – Mere Christianity
April – Water for Elephants
May – The Happiness Project
June – Reagan in his Own Hand
I’ll write a review on each book as I finish. Let me know if there’s any books you recommend and I’ll add them to my 2nd Half of 2012 Reading List.

No Email Checking on the Weekends
While at my brother’s basketball practice on Saturday, I turned the volume on my phone down half-way so not to disrupt the team should I have received a call. I forgot to turn it back up the rest of the day, and it was the best mistake I made in my life. By not being able to hear the usually loud and crisp sound of my email notification, I wasn’t itching to go look at my phone to see what I had missed. Instead, I was able to enjoy the day without the stress of wondering who emailed me and why.
I realized yesterday that the weekend was mine to enjoy. Any emails that may come through can wait until Monday. If I had read them during the weekend, I would be thinking about my to-do list for Monday morning. But really, all those things could wait until Monday morning, right?
I just downloaded the Quick Profiles app on my Android phone that will now allow me to change to the a “Weekend Mode” on my phone. No sounds for notifications! I’m really hoping this helps with the anxiety. Besides, if anyone truly needed me immediately, they have my phone number.

Let’s do this… again
Good morning! For those of you who have known me for a few years now, you’re probably thinking, “Here she goes again!” Yes, it’s another blog. Sometimes I just can’t help myself. I really enjoy writing and I feel like I haven’t done it in such a long time that I needed to do this for myself.
The purpose of this blog is to just chronicle random events in my life as well as offer some thoughts on working from home, becoming organized, and other things that a woman in her mid-twenties thinks about throughout the day.
So really, that doesn’t tell you much. I’m sure they’ll be posts that will interest you and some that you will just gloss over. But really, the blog isn’t for you. It’s for me.
So let’s do this.
