it's ok thursday: #2 for 2012

it's thursday. you know what to do.
IT'S OK...
...that i've been slacking on the blog posts this week because i want y'all to check out my sponsors.
click here and here.
...to dread tomorrow night's class. seriously, who schedules a graduate level education course at 7pm on a friday night? and, who signs up for stuff like that? oh, yeah...me.
...that i still need to post a couple of reviews & giveaways. it will happen this weekend. maybe.
...that i promised {two weeks ago} to write a tutorial on how to make a rag wreath. it hasn't happened...yet.
...to be beyond excited that tervis now has a dale earnhardt, jr. tumbler. {p.s. i love me some stock car racing.}
...to be pleasantly surprised by my at home gel mani. i'm linking up with vicki & tara tomorrow to share the deets.
...to dream about going to blissdom & blogher this year. neither will happen, i'm sure. blissdom falls during the weekend of my 10th wedding anniversary. blogher falls right at the end of the summer session {and this girl, unfortunately, will be in classes all summer long}.
...to want to label EVERYTHING with chalkboard contact paper.
...to be slightly obsessed with watching little gold stars fall into the mug on my phone's starbucks app.
...to want to paint stripes inside my cleaning closet because jen did it. my husband says it's not necessary. i think it is. 
...to be excited that my links now open in a new window. you can run, but you can't hide from my blog. ha!
...to be ready for warmer, spring-like weather. 
...to be happy that days are getting a little bit longer.
go link up with neely or amber & share with us what's been OK with you this week.
