Travis has a snow day today! You know what that means? Netflix and napping all day! 
Maybe wedding planning a tad, too!
But before I get around to all of that, let me talk about this week’s brags: physical, mental, and life!
Physical: Thanks to my new kettlebell, I have been strength training a few times a week! I am hoping that adding some muscle will help strengthen some of the areas with lingering pain that I have, such as my hips and feet. Also, I am going to mentally brag that I wore real girl clothes out two days in a row, even if I didn’t do my hair 
Mental: It’s HARD to be unemployed! Honestly, I just want to go shop with all of my free time, which is very unlike me. But, no money to shop with! I blog, workout, cook, read. But it’s been 2.5 weeks, and I’m sick of it! I just want to start subbing already! But I am starting to mentally think about the fact that I should just enjoy a little break and have faith that everything will turn out in the end!
Brag: I’m just going to brag about the fact that Travis and I are having our first visitors tomorrow! My sister, and Rex, are coming down for the weekend! I am super excited to show off our place! And she wants to go to Texas Roadhouse, which I’m totally down with.
Maybe, if it stays this cold, Rex and I can chill in our Snuggies. Mine is purple.
Well, thanks to Hollie for giving me a reason to think of positives in my life. And here’s a little motivation for ya!
What has been making you happy lately?
I’m jealous of Travis’s snow day! I’m not looking forward to heading in to the office today!

Hope you had a good day!!!
Oh you are right, it is SO hard to be unemployed. I spent the entire month of September without work. People think it’s all fun and games…but no. Hang in there; something has to break eventually!

Question- how do you get the animated gif’s onto blogs? Also, good for you for finally taking advantage of the vacation from working life! Enjoy your snow day with Travis

I just copy and paste the image link!! Seems to work for me
Everyone made fun of me my freshman year for having a snuggie
I wonder who was jealous when it was freezing cold and the heaters broke?!??
I know what you mean about being bored. Try reading some books about teaching strategies and stuff. I’m actually enjoying it because you get a lot of ideas/feedback from teachers/administrators!

You showed them! Snuggie for the WIN!
Being unemployed and having this break is a great thing! Before I started my job I had 1.5 months off and it was amazing! Looking back I should have enjoyed my time off more! Working is great because you actually make money but you have no free time…at least as much as you had before!
ENJOY IT!

I’m trying my best to enjoy it!
Yes, you are right… ENJOY this time that you have off!

Great brags… enjoy your visitor and time off
Allie recently posted…Hey there
Motivation for me?! LOL. I’m glad everything is working out and I really hope you are able to find a job soon. Also-wearing real girl clothes is important…who cares about the hair.

Wearing real girl clothes is like the biggest thing I’ve done this week
I hope you were able to enjoy your day with Travis. I’m sure something will come up for you.
p.s. while I was reading this post, my girls were already calling dibs on which characters they are in your header. lol

Hang in there girl! I know it sucks being bored but it’ll work out soon
I hate being unemployed!! It sucks. I just started looking for a job after quitting my last one in October..yikes.

Woot, yay for a snow day for Travis! You all benefit from that… they are just the best
I thought we were going to have one last week but no bueno. I am hoping for one in the near future
Great job on keeping up with the kettleball workouts, I bet those will help you strengthen up those problem areas
Have a nice weekend Nikki!

I wish I had snow days, the college I work at never closes though! Only one time in the 10 years I have been there (as a student and an employee), and they probably didn’t really have to close that day.
Rex is adorable, I love him! Bernie has some of those dog toys too.
