I have discovered that being busy at work causes me to lag on my blog postings. I guess you can tell how busy I get with how often I post. (it varies inversly ;-) )
Since my arrival back in town, things have been pretty hectic. I have been on a project with work that is just coming to a close, and in trying to deal with everything else on my plate, I have been finishing that up, so all in all, work has been really really crazy for the past few weeks.
It is nice having a roomate so far. We haven't seen much of each other, but maybe that's good? we have made a bit of progress in the "decorating" of the house; not much, but we've gotten a little farther. Hopefully soon, I'll be having a housewarming party - there are still many things I still need. =)
Last weekend, my big sister Evin and her husband Noah came in town for the weekend. Evin is expecting her first child in a little over a month, and I think my parents are starting to freak out that they're going to be grandparents. It was great seeing them for the weekend, though as usual, I wish I could've hung out with them longer. With them living in Chicago, I don't see them half as much as I wish I did. My grandmother also came in town last weekend, and was here for the party, and then spent the whole week helping my mom decorate the new back room. I must say, it looks fabulous. I am totally blown away by how nice it looks, and I go back to my house and realize I need to kick it up a notch in my decorating focus.
last night I danced with Andrew at GT Dance Marathon, and it wasn't up to our usual par, but we did ok though we were sliding all over the floor. Also yesterday, I saw the movie Firewall with Sebastian, which was pretty good. I also did some "art shopping" for the walls of the house, and was surprisingly successful!
Thanks to Ross, I got to see GT whoop NC state today, but I also saw them lose last week as part of their record losing streak. Then we spent like, the
whole afternoon watching the movie the Aviator.
I am looking forward to having a lighter week this week in comparison with the last few.
Time to get a little beauty rest!
umanity. Big Mistake. It was about 40 degrees and pouring rain, not a light drizzle, or off and on rain, but buckets pouring from the sky type rain. But no, they don't cancel for anything! we had to do landscaping, of all things - lay sod, plant plants, lay pine needles. it was horrible. everyone was miserable, but felt too proud to leave since after all, it was charity work. Oh well. The houses we worked on were for Clark howard's houses that he works on. We went under the cover of a nearby church porch for a moment to snag a picture with Clark.
