Cheers to the (3 day) weekend!

Can I get a holla for three day weekends?  I'm not sure what it is about having one extra day that makes me want to seize the moment. For example: yesterday.  I got up at a decent time, did a lot of homework, and then went to Starbucks for a former-roommate-date.  Such good conversation... it made me really miss the girl I lived with for the first five semesters of college.  She is so supportive of me. Note to self: make more of an effort to keep her in my life. 

Then at dinner I got to keep one of my New Years Resolutions.  I baked a recipe I found on Pinterest, given here: http://www.marthastewart.com/317305/cornbread-and-beef-skillet-pie

I had to make some substitutions (seriously, who has tomato paste just sitting in her pantry?), but it turned out delicious.  And I just had some leftovers for lunch.  Still delicious. 

Then off to the Purdue basketball game with my roomie/fellow tenor saxophonists.  Sorry for the blurry picture of us... I just wanted to document the beautiful snow. 

 And check out this few of campus...

 As if a Purdue victory over Penn State wasn't enough to leave me in a good mood, I received the best piece of mail... my Starbucks Gold Card.  Heck yes.

And my Saturday nights wouldn't be complete without a movie night with the roommates. Hello, Captain America.

Soon I'll be off to visit a friend at her college (she's in grad school now... we're so old!).  Looking forward to furthering that relationship and doing something new.

Carpe diem, y'all!
