It’s FRIDAY, FRIDAY. About to bust out some Rebecca Black.
I’m particularly excited about THIS Friday because it’s a 3-day weekend!
Thank you MLK Jr! 🙂
Fun Facts this week:
1) Three of my friends independently sent me this picture and said they thought of me when they saw it. Totes goats. Talking in abbrevs never gets old.
2) Last weekend, I spent all of Sunday doing food prep.
I made a TON of food that has lasted all week, but I think I missed having just plain ol’ chopped up veggies around to make a salad when I wasn’t really feeling the cooked stuff post-workout.
3) Speaking of workouts, I’ve been kicking butt. 6 days in a row this week. (Side note: The laundry really starts to pile up when you start working out consistently).
4) I’m obsessed with the Songza app. It’s the only thing I listen to when I workout. Although sometimes I still revert back to the Destiny’s Child Radio on Pandora. Either way, I listen to recommended music. It puts too much pressure and too much responsibility on me when I have to create my own playlist. No thank you.
5) I bought this reading lamp from Target last week.
Since one of my goals this year is to read more often, I need to find ways to fit it into my schedule without making it feel like an obligation or a chore. I love reading right before I fall asleep, but I’m always way too lazy to get out of bed and turn off the light. NOW, I don’t have to. Woooooohoo. Ultimate lazy.
6) I also bought myself an Otterbox Defender Series case. I used to have an Otterbox. But the defender series is some serious shit. Perfect for mothers. And teachers.
The only problem is that I can’t type because the screens so darn thick. So if you text me and I don’t text back, it’s because I don’t want to spend 10 minutes trying to respond.
7) My incredible brother and sister bought the cousins some matching sweatshirts. The last time we got matching sweatshirts/PJs was when there were just 7 of us. Now there’s 9 (so lucky!!), so they ordered some up-to-date custom apparel. Aren’t they THE BEST?! (Thank you Bhabhi and Bhaiya!!!) Mine’s the one on the left.
My nickname is Biva because that’s what my grandpa used to call me. Since the day I was born. That’s also part of the reason why my UniCamp name was “The Beav.”
8) I’ve been really good about leaving work on time this week. And doing things for myself (i.e. working out). I was scrolling through my Twitter feed today and saw a tweet that said:
I love self-care. It makes me happier. It makes me better at my job. So I really don’t think I need to worry about being selfish. Because, ultimately, when you prioritize yourself, everything else seems to fall into place.

Please don’t burst into singing Rebecca Black 🙂 I am impressed that you managed to prepare all that food in one day, no wonder you didn’t have any energy left to go for a workout after it.
