Day 206: Just Whelmed

So yesterday I was in a little bit of a lower place, but today I find myself feeling a bit better.  I think that going back to work was a bit of a shock that I wasn't prepared for.  It was like going from the hot tub to the freezing pool.  Now that I've been in the water a little longer, I'm feeling more acclimated.  There is still a lot work ahead of me, but when isn't that true?

Today's picture (technically tomorrow's picture) shows the time on my clock when I got home from hanging out with Ashley.  We had such a fun time hanging out at Quigley's that we ended up staying for about 7 hours.  First, we had a lot of catching up to do, so that takes time.  Then we were serenaded by this choir group comprised of a bunch of older men.  How can you leave when people keep singing to you?  Apparently they meet there every Tuesday and tonight they were celebrating a friend moving to Arizona and a bartender leaving for teaching.  We also had a lot of fun chatting with others at the bar and discussing life.  It was a great night.

Day 160: Practice

The day started off full of errands.  While running around, I stumbled upon a garage sale.  I have been looking for a vanity and I've found something that I can fix up.  It is actually a small desk, but with some paint, special treatment, fancy hardware, and a beautiful mirror, I will have the vanity I want.  I love all of the drawers because I will be able to hide all of my makeup, hair stylers, nail polish, and everything else that I use to beautify.  Stay tuned for before and after pictures.

This evening was graduation practice.  We found our seats and got the overview we needed to be prepared for tomorrow.  Afterwards, some of my graduate girls and I went to Quigley's for a refreshment.  That is another great thing about school, you get to meet new people.  Tomorrow is the big day.
