Buzz

Busy as a Bee. That is what I am. I have spent the last few days running around and having a blast!

The first few days were spent with Kim (right), Amy (left) and Karley (in pic with me), working the caps and gowns stuff. It was crazy. We were all tired and we had a blast. We got some great food too! We got pizza from The Pie, one of the best pizza places in town, Hug-hess, which is an amazing resturant here in town that has the most amazing chicken pasta salad with raspberry vinegarette dressing and beer bread with raspberry butter (really, a must when you are in town!) and soup and sandwhich's from Great Harvest a bakery here in town. It was nice to get lunch on someone else! Plus hanging out with some of my best friends is always a plus!

Karley and I played hostess at the honorary degree luncheon for the president of WSU. We dressed up and got to see all the people who give so much to our school. It is a wonderful thing and it was great to be a part of it. Plus, Karley and I got to be inside while poor Stacie (white hoodie) and Matt (button-up shirt) had to be outside in the freezing cold.

Then today Matt, Cory (in the hat), Stacie and I sold flowers at graduation as a fundraiser for our trip to Ohio this summer. We did well too. It was fun. We laughed and drank hot chocolate and "bonded". Or we laughed and played the whole time. (Matt, can you come over to my house for a few minutes? We really need to talk....ha ha ha).

Congratulations to my sweet wonderful friends Kim and Ashley who graduated today. You guys are awesome and I am so happy for you!

All in all it was fun. Busy and my feet hurt but I loved it. And tonight Jessica and I are heading to a big party and we are excited. I have some great friends and I love it!

Winter Reprise

Well today about 10:30 it started snowing. It is still snowing. This is not out of the ordinary just crazy. I did not enjoy having wet shoes and having to scrape my car again. I also did not like the fact that I am peeling from the sunburn that I got about a week ago. It seems a little odd to be peeling in the snow. Not that it matters really, it just seems odd.


Do you ever have one of those days that just seems to float right past you? No medicine involved just the all natural feeling of the day floating past and you almost don't even realize it. I had a meeting this morning at 7am. That is early for me. I am waking up between 7am-8am, so to be out and about that early is a little nuts to me.

It was a very productive meeting though. We (the student alumni organization) got a lot taken care of for next year and that was a huge benefit. I have been on a recruiting spree and have found some great people to head up some committees and to be our web designer. That is wonderful! I really was worried about that job.

I got a call from an ex-boyfriend a few days ago. Monday night I believe. It was good to hear that he was doing well and to chat with him for a few minutes. I obvious cared about him so to hear from him was nice. But then he proceeds to ask me if I ever think about what it would have been like if we had stayed together and had gotten married. I was speechless. This is a nice guy and there was a time when I would have thought the same thing but a year and half after we brake up isn't one of those times. I moved on and I am ok with what happened with our relationship. I guess I am torn between feeling flattered and frustrated. I love that he realizes that I was worth having around but annoyed that it took him this long to realize that he has just realized this.

I guess in the process of the phone call, the snow, the early morning meeting and the mush my brain is at finals time the day is just slipping away. Maybe work will be better, maybe not. We will just have to wait and see.
