Another week...

This week has gone by so fast! I can't believe it's the weekend again! I love it! Only one more week til Angie and Alyssa come to visit. Yippee! We are going to have a fun time having a girls weekend and then my party is Saturday night! I am looking forward to it! I have lots of little odds and ends to wrap up in the next few days leading up to it. Shopping, cleaning, get the bed for the guest room...etc.

My job is going well. This has been a good week. Slow at times, busy at others. A nice balance. I am starting to feel more comfortable and getting to know my coworkers better and all that. I feel good about it.

Tomorrow is the day we take Krusty for his herding evaluation!! I am so excited! I think it is going to be really fun and just a neat/different thing to do on a Saturday. Tomorrow night I am having some folks over and we are going to try our hand at 4 part harmonies. Should be fun!

I am hoping to take a walk on the greenway today. The weather hasn't been awesome this week so I haven't been out yet. Here's hoping!

Have a great weekend!

Headache

I have a headache right now. I don't think it is a caffeine headache, but it is a possibility. I went from around 4-5 caffeinated drinks/day down to just one travel mug of coffee in the morning when I switched jobs. Every once and a while I'll have a diet coke in the afternoon/evening, but that's about it. Though, I did have quite a bit yesterday so maybe it's a slight withdrawal.

Yesterday was Easter Sunday. Jerry and I played in the band for all 3 morning services, which means we were there for roughly 6 hours. Mom and Dad came to the last service, so we had lunch together at Mellow Mushroom...which of course meant more caffeine. If you don't have beer with your pizza, then surely you must have soda. It was delicious.

We went for a walk in the evening with Krusty when the weather was finally not too freezing and I spent the remainder of the night laying on my couch staring at the television.

It was a good weekend and hopefully this will be a good week! I have a few goals:

- Keep a positive attitude
- When I don't want to wake up in the morning, think about why I am getting up. In order to live in a house that I love by working at a job that I was really blessed with.
- Be patient with others. (so simple, yet difficult)
- Don't worry. Be Happy.

:-) Have a great Monday !!

A Walk in the Woods.....

I received an email the other day. It was one of those mass work emails that I try to ignore, but this one intrigued me. "Unfortunately, the fence completely blocks both of the access points to the Greenway......... I met with our neighbors at the Apartments and they have been kind enough to allow us to gain access to the Greenway from their property." Excuse me? We have a Greenway!?!? One that I can take walks on during lunch or access for a few minutes of much needed time away from flourescent lighting??
I had to know more. So yesterday, I ventured out. I started walking down this lovely path, and almost instantly felt refreshed and rejuvenated. It's amazing what a little sunshine and fresh air will do. After a little ways, the trail opened up to a beautiful Lake view!!

I walked for 40 minutes and came back feeling great about the afternoon. Today I walked for 30 minutes. I can see a habit forming. What a find!!

In other news, tonight is Maundy Thursday. Jerry is playing with a band of about 9 other people. I am really looking forward to it. There is also going to be a video that goes with the music. It sounds really cool.

The weekend is almost upon us! What are your plans??
