I am currently drinking a beer.
Alicia moved into her new apartment today, which is really close to me, so I went over to help her unpack/assemble her bed. Well, somehow or another, one of the supports for the bed got all jacked up and wouldn't fit into the little slot Ikea so nicely designed. We spent a good chunk of time trying different ways to get this stupid thing put together. Finally, we just put the slats and the mattress on, and bounced around on it until we forced that sucker in! Yay girls assembling furniture!
Yay music.

Angela came into town! I haven't seen her since she moved to West Virginia! We met up with Heidi/Drew, Yajaira/Alfredo, and it's always so wonderful to reconnect with those TL girls :) TL brought me a lot of joy in college, and it's nice to have those friendships continuing on! It was trivia night at Plucker's. I actually got a few questions right, including Colt McCoy's real first name. At least my mini-obsession with Colt is finally paying off! Also, I know a lot of inventors, apparently!
The other day, I read this article somewhere about how this guy hasn't taken a vacation in years, but he feels he doesn't need to because he "takes vacations every day" by allowing himself time to just chill out and do something relaxing/fun/rejuvenating. Since I can't take a vacation, I think maybe I'll try to do something like that everyday. Usually, I'll eat my lunch in the break room and then go back to work, within 30 minutes if nobody is eating at the same times, maybe a little longer if someone is there and we strike up a conversation. Today, the weather was perfect, so I heated up my leftover shepherd's pie, grabbed my UT mug, and went outside to eat. I also had my book in my purse (I'm reading Zorro and it's fantastic), so I read it for about 20 minutes before I had to head back inside. It felt really nice, and although I didn't take my full hour like I wanted, it was still refreshing.
Also, I had an AWESOME hair day.

Dear future me: Today a guy brought an AK47 to the UT campus and killed himself in the PCL, your old 2nd home. Rachel was in lockdown in her dorm right across the street, and if she had left a little earlier from work, she may have passed the guy on the street. Who knows. Remember today.
Today was great because:
1. My sister and everyone at UT was okay, thank God.
2. Last week, I accidentally packed 2 pairs of socks in my gym back. I took 1 pair of socks out and left them in my backseat. I cleaned my car out this weekend, and I saw the socks, but my hands were full, so I decided to just get them later. When I get to the gym today, I realized I had no socks. Lucky for me, those socks were still in my car, and I could work out.
3. My boss cared about some of my results today. That always feels nice :)
4. I made shepherd's pie for the first time, and it turned out to be delicious.

First of all, I've been meaning to mention this silly little thought. I keep seeing shoes in the road. Usually, you only see one shoe, but now there is a matching pair at this intersection down the street. Shoes in the road ALWAYS make me laugh. How did that shoe get there? I always picture a family in a car and one kid takes the other kid's shoe and throws it out the window. Or someone opens the door and their shoe falls out and the light turns green. But seriously... shoes in the road? That's so silly! hahahaha
Today was great because:
1. Angela wrote on my facebook wall quoting TLC's "Waterfalls." When I'm leaving work, that's the first song I hear on the radio. Ha!
2. It is cold in Dallas. As in 55 for the low last night. I slept with my windows open, and woke up super cozy. Extra refreshing. I even made it to work before my desired arrival time. Yay!
3. Got a big fat check for taking care of my boss's dog. BANK.
4. At work, Greg told me in high school he was drunk and went to a haunted house on halloween. He thought it would be fun to go hide somewhere and scare his friends, but he was running full speed toward the back of the house, he ran face first into a wall, broke his nose, and knocked out the wall, making the haunted house shut down for a few hours to repair it. HAHAHA.
5. Scott cooked us all dinner, chicken, zucchini, and baked potato, and Raegan made cookies. SOOOOOOOOOOOO delicious. We talked about old AIM screen names, and it was very funny.
6. Ellen left her queso fresco in my fridge :) Free cheese!

Today was one of those days where you just feel like everything is alright. Everything is going your way. I feel so content with my life and with who I am. I feel like I'm on the right track, and I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
After a week of straight craziness, I feel like a human being again. Laundry is done, apartment is clean, groceries are bought, phone calls have been returned (I think), and I recycled all of my GRE practice tests and scratch paper. Out with the old, and now it's time to get on with the rest of my life, as well as start my applications.
I am very thankful for the many blessings in my life. I have the best family and friends a girl could ever dream of, and I hope that everyone I care about knows just how much I love them :)
Today was a generally great day, and I am looking forward to starting this week.

Joys of today:
1. I had a free pass to see The Social Network before it hit theatres, so Scott and I went to go check it out. When we arrived, the line was at least a million people long, so we decided to just do dinner instead. My craving for spicy Asian food + his iPhone landed us a seat at Royal Thai. I had some awesome meal with BABY CORN in it. WHO DOESN'T LOVE BABY CORN?! So adorable.
2. We walked my boss's dog around the park for a few laps. It was a really nice evening (for once) and it was nice to be outside without sweating. And my boss's dog is AWESOME. It was nice to have a dog to play with again :)
3. In our google group today, the longhorn ladies and I had an awesome conversation about how gross we think it is when people discuss poop. It was HILARIOUS and a little awkward, but mostly hilarious. :)
Sarah has a blog now. Read it. Love it.
