I forgot to mention that yesterday, when I came out of the mouse room, I lost my little shoe-covering-bootie thing we have to wear to not track pathogens in and out of the facility. I had my arms full of cages and binders, and a lady stopped and put it back on my foot saying, "Just like Cinderella!" It was great.
Today Sean picked me up and took me out to lunch on his way home from his test. A very unexpected but awesome adventure :)
Ashley and I did a FANTASTIC job in our confirmation lessons tonight, and I am thrilled that they are done!!

Work today FLEW by! That was a nice change of pace. It was a good day.
Zumba and the YCP speaker event were good, too!
Sean came over and we finished watching best of Will Ferrell and ate Half Baked ice cream. OMG.

This weekend was great. In summary, James came to visit. We saw Rio, and it was awesome. Saturday Magalie invited me to her zumba class, and then James and I met his cousin for lunch. Afterwards, Kate came over, and then later we went dancing. Sunday we went to the Mavs vs. Lakers playoff game. Mavs won by a million points, and it was actually really exciting :)
Today was good. I met up with Sean to work/study at Cafe Brazil. I got a bowl of fruit, and they even made it WITHOUT melons! YAY! Strawberries, pineapples, bananas, and oranges. mmm mmm mmmm.

It's 3:00 on a Friday and I'm not at work anymore. That is unexpectedly joyous, although I think I have some kind of stomach virus/food poisoning/weird reaction to something I ate, so the circumstances surrounding my early release are not particularly great, but this whole blog is about finding the positives, right?! RIGHT.
Since I became sick suddenly last night, I did a lot of laying in bed and watching tv. I saw an episode of Jimmy Fallon and his guests were Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson, and ELMO. YEAH. IT WAS AWESOME. If none of those 3 make you happy, I don't know what will. :)
and now, back to laying in bed

Yesterday was good because Scott cooked this ridiculously delicious chicken for dinner. Seriously, it was out of this world tasty. Note to self: invest in Montreal seasoning.
Today was good because Angela A. is in town for training for her new job, so she, Yajaira, Heidi, Drew, and I met up at Starbucks to catch up! It is always so much fun to be around those girls (+ husband), and I look forward to seeing them again soon!!
Magalie and I ate lunch outside, and we had a great conversation in the sunshine!
Rachel + vball team taught me how to set. Rachel threw a ball up for me, and as I was setting I yelled "setting!" without even thinking about it, and everyone laughed, and I felt funny for the first time in awhile :)
I bought a little box of sushi from Kroger when I went to buy some groceries, and there wasn't nearly enough ginger for my liking. I put the wasabi on it instead, and it was for the first time I've eaten it since I initially tried it and decided it wasn't for me. This time, however, I thought it was surprisingly good. Maybe this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship between wasabi and me. Wasabi and I?

Stephen, Jamie, and Jaime came over for dinner :) The latter brought crack cookies (my weakness...)! Stephen showed me chimpanzee riding on a segway.
I have the best brother and friends.

After posting yesterday, I grabbed lunch with Sean, then ran errands (like dropping off my recycling... which was great because it was causing huge stress-inducing piles in our laundry closet). Softball game, then took Magalie and her boyfriend to Ikea so they could buy a few things. I took them to Torchy's Tacos for dinner, which they both liked :)
AND THEN I HAD THE MOST EPIC NIGHT'S SLEEP.
It was dark and gloomy outside (and cold! 50 degrees!! WTF, Texas?), so I made the executive decision to stay in bed and watch my Jimmy Fallon episodes on DVR until noon or so.
I hunted for scholarships and research positions for a ridiculously long time, took a break for church. Fr. Joseph had a really great homily, and he told a funny story about how he started singing "this little light of mine" in the elevator at his sister's workplace and everyone started singing along and clapping (he said, "they must have been Baptists."
Then I returned some body wash to Kroger which had been sitting on my counter for about a month. WHEEE!
I worked on more school stuff, then decided F THAT. I put on my Big Bang Theory DVDs and finished 8 pages of my Italy scrapbook I started a few years ago. I have maybe 5 more pages until it is DONE! What a feeling that will be.
AND THEN PRESIDENT OBAMA ANNOUNCED OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD! USA! USA! USA!
