(Edited to add: I wrote this post last night with no idea how irrelevant it would be this morning. My heart broke when I woke up and saw the images of the earthquake and tsunami that took place in Japan. Even in the midst of this disaster, my prayer is that God will preserve lives and provide an overwhelming comfort to those affected…)
Hi, cutes! Welcome to the almost-weekend 
While I do Thank God It’s Friday, I’ve got a different compilation of TGIF on my mind.
T is for time management.
…a department of which I’m failing miserably in at the moment. Tips? Anyone??
G is for Gracie.
…my name, duh 
And “G” just happens to be my favorite nickname.
Side note: I actually didn’t like my name growing up and re-named myself Clarissa at one point. True story.

I also may or may not have had a crush on the creepy dude Sam who climbed up a ladder to her room, but we’ll save that for another time.
I is for it’s time for spring. Like, now.
Okay, so maybe I’m stretching it with that use for “I,” but whose with me?! I’m craving sunshine and iced coffee like it’s nobody’s business.
F is for Florrie.
I’ve posted this song of Florrie’s before, but I just had to share it again because it’s so….FUN. And who doesn’t want a fun weekend??
Your turn! Give me a new version of TGIF!
I hated my name growing up too, and I still don’t really like it. On a side note, I was Clarissa for Halloween a few years ago. I got to wear hot pink leggings and ankle boots. It was awesome.
My heart is breaking for everyone in Japan right now too. My aunt has family that lives over there, so I am hoping and praying they are okay. I agree about the spring thing - seriously. Warm weather please!?
This is the first i have heard of this!!!
I dont watch tv.
I am off to google this…
OMG……
I can’t believe the Japan stuff, it’s just awful
T - thinking of Japan!
G - Got to buy a cappuccino in starbcuks…
I - I’m off to physio soon to see my beautiful man…:p
F - For reals - he’s fit!
Tragedies like this really make you realize just how insignificant the things we stress over are.
So sad when such disasters destroy so many lives…my prayers are with Japan, too.
I had to laugh when you mentioned Sam. I used to love that show, and I’m pretty sure that I had a crush on him, too, haha.
It is so time for Spring…come on!!
I have not heard anything about the disaster!! I often stay out of the news because it is rarely happy. My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by the disaster<3
And I agree, come on spring, hurry up!
i heard clarissa explains it all reruns are going to be back on MTV!!! i can’t wait
Why isn’t Clarissa Explains It All talked about more? Thanks for the song recommendation! I’m always looking for ‘em.
That’s so awesome of you to add the edited note up top, you’re such a sweet girl.
A. can I have that watch in the first pic?
B. I preferred the Secret World of Alex Mack, just saying
C. I’ve been guilty of drinking iced coffee all winter..I just don’t like the hot stuff anymore! Weird, right?
fantastic song!
t: thinking of those affected by the earthquake and tsnamis
g: grateful to be alive and well
i: i need to get off my butt
f: going out tonight and i’m planning on looking FRESH haha
Omgosh, I didn’t hear about the earthquake until just now. So so sad. Thanks for putting the note at the top.
I am so thinking about spring too. I’ve been wearing skirts this week (with tights of course) in hopes that soon it’ll be warm enough to do so comfortably. Not sure my logic’s very strong on that one.
OMG! You’re not going to believe this, but I hated my name too and renamed myself to Larissa when I was like 11 or 12! I chose that instead of Clarissa because I didn’t want my sister to tease me for copying the show. I insisted that everyone call me that for an entire summer. I hope you like your name now. It’s beautiful.
Isn’t it horrible?! My heart and prayers go out to all those affected.
I hope you have an amazing Friday!
G is my favorite nickname too
I renamed myself as a child too!! I thought other names were so much cooler like courtney or brittany…
Clarissa explains it all!!!!!!!! love it!
I used to have the Clarissa Explains It All cassette tape with all these lame songs!!! hahaha
Thank you for the song! I’d never heard it before and it turned my grayish day into a fun Friday!
T: Thank god my family is safe — they are vacationing in Hawaii right now, but were able to evacuate very early.
G: Glamour - All I want to do is curl up with a stack on glossy, girly magazines and chill out tonight!
I: Indigo jewelry?!?! That’s a strech…
F: Foodie time — I want to make and eat lots of yummy dishes this weekend
xoxo
Wow! That’s a blast from the past. I use to love that show.
Singer and the drummer? That girl is sick! Love it
It was so heartbreaking to hear about the tsunami this morning.
T - a truck drove through a puddle and got me soaking wet on my way to the gym!
G - went to Gozen for a sushi dinner with my friends
I - intense spin class this afternoon
F - I’m super full from sushi right now!
