Today! Went to Denton and played board games with Jaime, Laura, and Robson! Jaime and I were on the same team for Cranium, and I had to act like I was milking him, and it was hilarious :)

I stayed at work later than expected, so I was feeling pretty grumpy because I missed zumba. However, as I am leaving the building I see that Jaime has called, inviting me to dinner with him, Laura, and Robson, who is in town again. If I had gone to zumba, I would have missed seeing them, providing sufficient evidence that everything happens for a reason.

Jaime didn't finish his fries and let me steal the rest. The waiter gave me a big box to take them home in, even though they were almost all gone. I was filled with great jubilation.

I went to Starbucks to do some GRE studying. I was sitting by myself at a table by the window, and out of my peripheral vision I see a tall guy in a sweatshirt walking up to me. I look up to find he has a scary facial expression and gesturing as if he is about to choke me. Upon seeing my shock and confusion, he stops, realizing I am not his friend, that apparently I look just like. The girl comes in a few minutes later. I definitely did NOT look like her. hahahaha.

Friday: The guys at work told me that I better make a plan for getting married, which made me laugh for awhile. Left work early, got in a great swim, homemade beef stroganoff with Ryan.

Saturday: PLAYOFFS. CHAMPIONS. We had 1 minute left in the final game, so we started another inning. Held our opponents, and since we were home team we got another chance to bat. Raegan had a game winning double (if I remember correctly) that drove in the winning runs :) CHAMPIONS. Then everyone came over for tacos and Texas football. Jamie and Ramon came in from Austin for the night!!! UT beat Wyoming. We stayed up super late talking about life, and it was so nice to catch up. Great great great day :D

Sunday: Mass, Hard Rock Cafe with Jamie, Ramon, and Jaime. We walked to the place where JFK got shot, Reunion Tower (but the observation deck was closed for renovation womp womp), the West End, jumped in fountains, and took silly pictures. I was very sad to see them leave. Watched the Cowboys at 1013, fell asleep on the couch, and ate delicious food with good friends. I am very lucky to know those guys + girls.

Monday: Sacked 17 adult mice today, and I'm pretty sure that's my new record. I also saw a mouse give birth for the first time; turns out they stand on their hind legs and push those suckers out. I was watching with amazement, and then the other mouse in the cage started eating the pups. Gross. That doesn't really bring me joy, but it's kind of funny :) Scott brought me cupcakes from Sprinkles, and we had an adventure and cooked these weird hamburger patties that supposedly had cheese and bacon in them... didn't taste like it!

At work today, I recycled three cardboard boxes, and for whatever reason, it totally turned my mood around.

I also watched an episode of Hoarders on A&E, and I feel really good about my life. I'm really working to consolidate and simplify my life by purging some belongings, and this show just gave me a little more motivation.

This weekend was so awesome, and it consisted of:

Cash Cab watching extravaganza with Bass! Mytoos.com

Robson came into town!!! Six Flags with him and Jaime, and we had such a fun time in our screaming contests, trying to buy garlic/cheese fries but they were out of cheese and garlic, and remembering the old 10th floor times :) They finally got me to ride the superman and the titan rides, which freaked the daylights out of me, but they turned out to be fun at the end. I love those boys. Then we went to Denton and ate Ramen Republic with them and Laura, proceeded by hookah and drank at some place called Kush and then some bar which had a ping pong table that these girls kept breaking.

Then church, gavaging, swimming, and then those three came over and we played Bananagram, ate Torchy's Tacos, and went to that bar on greenville that I can't ever remember the name to :) I used the words 'reagent' and 'diptheria,' and other science words in bananagram, loved it.

Labor day!!! NO WORK! E invited us up to the pool, and we drank pina coladas, sang Jay Z songs, and had a great day :) Then Ryan took me out to Carino's for dinner, and the spicy chicken romano was FANTASTIC!

Yesterday was a good day because I had lot of work to do, and I felt like I was working with purpose and not just to make it til the end of the day. Those days are so fulfilling!

Today a tornado hit Dallas, and it was nice that people were concerned and checked up on me! I went to this meeting for a social justice class at HT, and it sounds really interesting! Can't wait to get started!!

Girl's night at Blue Mesa = fantastic :)

Not going to journal club = fantastic :)

I forgot to mention this yesterday, but at work, Chris mentioned his dog's name was Snoopy, and playing right along into my recent obsession with Snoop Dogg jokes, he said he should call his dog Snoop Dogg. I seriously laughed about that on and off all day. Snoop Dogg. HA!

PAY DAY! :D

I had Eenie Meenie by Justin Beiber in my head all day, thanks to Diana, Vanessa, and Heather, and since I love this song, it made me quite happy!

I had a lot of work to do today, and I felt like I was working with purpose, which made the day go by very quickly.

There was a huge scary thunderstorm right when I got home, so I sat on my balcony while I ate dinner, watching the lightning and listening to the rain. Moments like these always cause me to reflect upon myself and life, and I come to some interesting realizations about myself, good and bad, but refreshing nonetheless.

I did some practice GRE problems and put Big Bang Theory on in the background to lighten the mood, and it worked miracles :)
