Tuesdays

Monday is the first day of the work week, nobody likes Monday. "Somebody's got a case of the Mondays." Wednesday is hump day, you're half way there. Thursday means that its almost Friday and thus almost the end of the week. Friday means that, for most people, by 5 the weekend is getting started. Saturday IS the weekend, you can sleep in and you still have Sunday. Sunday is such a relaxing day.

But Tuesday, what does Tuesday have?

Blue velvet couch

The library on campus has blue velvet and dark, multicolored, flower print couches and chairs scattered throughout the building. But off of the coffee shop there is a cozy little room with two blue velvet couches and three matching chairs. We appropriately call it "the blue couch room." There's a window that goes all the way to the ceiling, and a window sill large enough to sit on. the lights are dimmable Its my favorite place to do homework.

Monday I did what I had intended to do Sunday. I camped out in the library and worked all day. I only have one class on Mondays and I got an e-mail telling me it was canceled, So I spent a cold, cloudy, Monday sitting on a blue velvet couch in a room all to myself drinking ginger peach tea, and reading.

Fabulous!

This morning started out great. Jess and I went to IHOP for brunch, and it was so nice to start a cold rainy day with hot tea, eggs, toast, hashbrowns, and sausage. (And Boyfriend!!! who had been on a business trip since Wednesday). After brunch I went home to change into comfy clothes and go to the library. But once I had put on my comfy clothes I couldn't find comfy shoes that I wanted to wear. So, what did I do? I went to Target to buy FUGGS.

I think i have a shoe problem..........

They ended up not having any in a size that would fit (no half sizes and i wear a 9 1/2), so I got no boots. Instead, I bought a wallet, some Star Wars books to mail to John ( the 7 year old I nanny for during the summer), spent about 20 minutes perusing the greeting cards, and then walked around the toy department while making a christmas wish list of games and christmas movies. How did I get so off track? I went from Library to Christmas wish list at Target.....

After Target I drove to the library, but before going inside made a few phone calls. One of those phone calls required me to go run an errand, while running this errand the gas light on my car turned on so I had to get gas too. The credit card machine wasn't working at the first gas station I went to, so I had to go to another one (where thankfully the credit card machine did work).

I intended for today to be really productive, to get a lot of e-mailing and reading and writing journal entries for my acting class done, but I am just now starting on homework.

But in spite of my day not going according to plan, I've had a good day.

And now, ten hours later than I planned, I'm off to start working.

Hope you had a great day too. Did you do anything exciting?

sad day.....

I was inspired by The Domestic Empress to start writing again. But when I tried to navigate my way overhere to write the entry, I couldnt even remember how to get here.

PROM!

Last weekend Sammi was back in Newport News for an admitted freshman event, but her senior prom was last Saturday night, so she went to the event on campus on Friday, and on Saturday she came to my apt to get her hair done, and then she went home. Her hair looked quite nice if I do say so myself. Here are a few of the pictures she sent me.






All of these pictures are from their family's farm. I love it there, it is beautiful.

Belated Easter weekend post

For Easter weekend, Jessby's little sister came and stayed the weekend with us. (Jessby and Sammi both stayed at my apt) We had a fabulous time. She got here on Thursday and stayed until Sunday. On Friday she went to class with us and then I took her to the mall to go prom dress shopping. She technically already had a dress but she was making sure that it was the best dress out there (it definatly was, everything at the mall here was crap). Instead of getting a dress we bought underwear (they were 7 for $25, how could we not buy them). Saturday we drove down to Kitty Hawk NC to visit their grandma (Meemaw), great aunt (Emily), aunt (Carlo), and uncle (Warren). They were all really nice, they took us out for a big breakfast, then we hung out at the dunes and on the beach all afternoon and they took us out for an early dinner before we drove back up to Newport News. Sunday Jessby had to work so Sammi and I hung out, lounged around in our pj's and had girl talk time.

Left to right Sammi, Jessby, Me, Carlo with her husband Warren behind her, Meemaw, Emily,




Sammi and I were cold so we decided to use Jess to protect ourselves from the wind.

blogger spell check doesn't know the word "pouty"

A lack of comments is a little discouraging... but I'm just being pouty.
