You know the drill, friends! Write down some thoughts you're thinkin' today, then link up below so the rest of us can read them! I write mine in list form, but feel free to be as creative as your mind sees fit! Right click and save the photo above to use it, or use your own photo!

G-G-G-G-unit (say this as if you were 50 cent) is no longer in Lauren's body, but alas, is a living, breathing human being (albeit a tiny one)! She hasn't blogged about it yet, but if you check out her Instagram (OKLauren), you can see the most adorable baby G ever. Congrats, Laur!

Yet again speaking of Laurens with babies, one of my IRL (in real life) besties Lauren just announced her pregnancy to the blog world. She also included the cutest videos of her telling her husband then parents that she was pregnant. My favorite part is when both Ryan and Lou's mom think she put the pregnancy test in the presents. Haaaahahaha!

Shauna mentioned she was ready for another challenge a la last year's 15 Day Challenge. I have two problems with this: one, will y'all even participate? Two, if you want to, what type of questions would you like to see? I'd prefer different questions than last time (ugh, no love stories 'cuz I'm still bitter about the whole breakup thing), but I don't know if I'm creatively-minded enough to come up with 15 new ones. What do you think?

Another IRL (I took her engagement photos!) friend Karenna just got a blog! Karenna's a second year (err, starting her third year) in my program, but in the general experimental track of the PSY/NSC department (specializing in cognitive psychology). Go visit her and welcome her to the blogoverse!

I have a hot date with Paul (affectionately known as The Paul Hagan or TPH) tonight. Okay, probably not that hot, 'cuz it's me and all, but I'm thinking I should probably start blogging about dating, right? I haven't had any bad date experiences yet, but this is only date #2 with TPH so there's plenty of potential for hilarity. (Paul, I'm totally kidding.)

I was baking chocolate chip cookies on Tuesday when I realized that my good friend Matt was starting the driving up to Maryland yesterday. So, trying to be a good neighbor (like Mister Rogers taught me), I made extras to send some with him...and totally forgot he's allergic to chocolate. Shit. Now I have a surplus of chocolate chip cookies and maybe one less friend. ;) #friendfail
Happy Thursday friends! I'm looking forward to the weekend, as it will be full of studying for my qualifying exam and plenty of chocolate chip cookies. How has your week been? Link up and tell us!

If you do the challenge, you should take suggestions for questions on a blog post. I mean, that's *kinda* what this is, but if you ask for questions I think people will give you lots to choose from!
And if you don't, then here's at least one to go with: If school, money, and other life situations were not an issue, what would your dream job be? Go into detail!
And I totally loved those videos Lauren posted--too cute and such a good memory to have on tape!!
Well it was a really sweet thought, and that's what counts!
Good luck, and have fun on your date!
Oh how exciting for Lauren!! Congrats.
I would participate in a 15 day challenge.
have fun on your date!! I would love to hear about how dating is going.
I baked chocolate chip cookies on Tuesday as well and I blogged about it- but they were disgusting. At least you have some extras to enjoy!
Good luck on your exam- enjoy studying!
I'd so do the challenge!
I just want to say this if no one else has; you can send those cookies this way! I'm definitely interested in doing the 15 day challenge. I just checked out the last one and if the questions are similar to those then I'm down! Your 50 cent reference had me laughing for a solid minute at work.
Oh! And I look forward to hearing about your hot date!! Happy Thursday!
Love the new blog look girl! And extra cookies? Send them my way. Haha. At least you tried to be a good friend. It's the thought that counts. :)
I'm so happy you love the videos :) Ryan asking if he has to touch the pee will go down in our family history as "most awesome questions ever asked."
I'd totally do a challenge! Although I can't promise I can help you think of good questions.
You are such a sweet friend. I would totally help you eat those cookies if I were there!! I'm turning into one hungry hungry hippo.
Love you, SAR!
oh the cookies haha at least your intentions were pure (right?!) :)
if they would make the trip, send them my way. I'm going to be all depressed and fat for a while.
Your new blog looks really great!!! :) Those pregnancy announcement videos were too cute. I like that she did a simple reveal and was able to slyly get video of it. Definitely making a note of that for my future ;)
Your 15 day blog challenge is pretty much the only one I've ever completed! LOL! So, yes, I'd love to play along again. I'll start dreaming up some questions (I may need to revisit last year's list...I do like Holly's idea of a challenge-specific post; maybe post the old list and ask for new suggestions?)
Cookies!! I want em! I'll have to think up some question ideas for you!! I hope you have a good date!!
Guess what? I might be coming to Austin in November!
Yay babies.
Yay more babies.
Yes to 15 day challenge because we weren't like friends at that point so I didn't do it. But I want to.
AND YAY FOR DATING. Sending you lots of good wishes all the way down to TX. <3

I'm loving Karenna's new blog. She's such a sweetheart :)
A date you say? Alright! Hope it goes well, even if it doesn't turn out so 'hot' haha.
Aww that was really sweet of you to make cookies for him. I'm sure he appreciated the thought though! :) I hope you have fun on your date! :)
Yay for a date! PROUD.
And I loooved those pregnancy videos! They were adorable!
Also: I love you. You are amazing and I KNOW you are going to rock that qualifying exam!!
I think you totally should start blogging about your dating life! I'm a sucker for love stories (or just hot date stories) haha have fun tonight!

yummmmm chocolate chip cookies! it's too bad he's allergic to chocolate - but it's the thought that counts, right?!

Thanks for the shoutout! I'm really enjoying blogging so far!
Also, if you have extra cookies, you know where to find me! :D I know you are going to do great on your QE!
I would sooo do your 15 day challenge. I'm thinking of questions you should ask... I'll let you know :)
Duh I would do the 15 day challenge as you know. Also, totally agree with no love stories, I'm married and I'M kind of over reading them LOL. I don't know what that says about me, but whatever.
I will eat your leftover cookies. I have no problem with chocolate ;)
Totally want to hear about your dating too. Please dance on a table or something.
Last year's challenge seemed great! I wish I was already blogging at the time.
I'd join the challenge when you launch it.
I think the date went well, especially after Sar caught my goof on when we were supposed to meet.
I've never done a "#"day challenge but I'm intrigued...
All of these babies! Man does it make me feel old when I think about the fact that I am in the age group that has babies now!
I love that you're blogging about dating. That's fun! And I think it's really funny that the person you went on a date with commented a few posts up. Ha!
Awesome! Cute post -- love your blog!
