Things I have been up to:

I walked across the stage and hummed "Pomp & Circumstance." Photos to follow.
I read The #1 Ladies Detective Agency, by Alexander McCall Smith, and loved it. I am now trying to pass it off onto family members, assuring each that they will feel the same way.
I got a promotion at work! I am leaving the phones! I no longer have a permanent shift at the restaurant! My feet thank me!
I am listening to Tears of the Giraffe, also by Alexander McCall Smith, on the front desk computer at work. It is the sequel to The #1 Ladies Detective Agency. I am trying to make my way towards The Kalahari Typing School for Men, the fourth in the series.
I am ALSO listening to Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, on the other computer I use at work. I chose this because I never have to answer a phone, so I don't get interrupted and I have no problem focusing on what is going on in the story.
I have been packing! Moving in just about a week.
I watched The Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and finally Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest .

I look forward to...

... not working weekends so that I can sit in a comfy chair and skim the paper (probably online - it wastes less paper) while drinking my morning cup of tea and listening to weekend public radio.

I do not currently have a "morning cup" because I am always rushing off - and who has time to make sure they're not over-steeping their green tea (over-steeping = bitter!) when trying to brush teeth, shower, dress, and leave the house in a ten minute window (that is quickly closing)?

I don't know that I will ever REALLY make it into that chair, but I sure hope I find something similar.

Just "Submit"

I have been at the University Co-op's website for over an hour, ordering graduation announcements and Bachelor regalia.

I finished putting in all of the information 45 minutes ago. I have checked it six or seven times, how incredibly stupid would I look if I had a typo or misspelling on my announcements? I called my father twice to make sure I should put certain tidbits in like my middle name, and "Do I have to have it say, 'Saturday, May 19, 2007' or should it just say, 'May 19, 2007?'"

I never thought that I would see THIS part as such a big deal. I am excited and nervous AND SO FREAKED-OUT!

Thinking of the Great Blog Re-Design

Casey came up with this last night:

We had been talking about a design based on the other illustration he did of me:

I don't have an example of the header he finished on the blue (I know that it did not include much of my bust), but think in terms of colors and the type of digital art - photo or illustration? I think that they are both awesome, and wish I had some good admirer art to give back.

So which do you prefer? Do you have any constructive criticism or words of wisdom?

Resolutions:

1) Be less angry.
2) No drinking when sad.
3) Cut back on smoking - oh wait, thanks to Gov. Perry and the $1.00 increase in cigarette prices this will be easy.
4) Save some money!

Commence to Unburdening

I cut off ten inches of hair.

I cleaned out the bathroom cabinets. My bedroom is next.

Hold your breath, plug your nose - Here we go!
