Friday.

Can you believe it...it's Friday! Yeah, Baby! So happy about this. Here's what's been going on with me this week....

• It's official - effective June 12, I will be a Technical Writer.
• Went to movies on Monday and watched Da Vinci Code. (pretty good but felt like if I hadn't read the book I would have been lost.)
• Took Tuesday off of work. Was going to play but ended up working on Research Paper. I did; however, slip out to Paper Zone and used my $5 off coupon.
• Paid some bills.
• Realized that I totally missed a dentist appointment last week.
• Got invited to a 80's Themed "Prom" in two weeks.
• Had some serious good cuddles with Atticus.
• Listened to two GREAT cd's this week...Dixie Chicks new one. "Taking the Long Way" and Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris "All the Roadrunning." Good tunes.
• Completed first assignment for Just Johanna Rubber Stamps Design Team. We had to submit samples of work with JJ stamps. Wasn't as prolific as I would have liked to have been but I'll get more out there soon. This was SO fun! Check it out.
• Almost caught up on my laundry.
• Turned in my Research Paper on Wednesday!
• Casey came over for dinner on Wednesday...made roasted asparagus and broccoli, corn on the cob and fruit salad.
• Went over to Wayne and Becky's on Wednesday evening and had a martini. There's talk of making "mid-week martini" a regular thing.
• Attended my "Voluntary Simplicity" class that I'm taking on Thursdays during my lunch hour. I haven't done much of the recommended reading for this class just because I've been so distracted with other priorities but as I get more into this...I'll share stuff with you.
• Bought some shelves to go in my studio closet to help in the ongoing effort to organize!
• Into Spelling Bee's.
• Had lunch with Casey and Miranda today - Karam....hmmmm...hummus and falafel.
• Registered for some jewelry making classes.
• Realized I am overdue for a haircut and color.
• Realized I need new glasses.
• Realized high fructose corn syrup is the work of the devil.
• Realized I SERIOUSLY need to start exercising.
• Realized I LOVE my family SO MUCH!!!
• Got the word that my dear friend Jennifer started a blog with her sister. OMG I'm excited about this! Jennifer is an amazing, talented, and innovative craftster! Check out her blog here!

Okay, well, I think you're caught up with my week!!! This weekend we have a few things planned. I am going to work in my studio...that's my priority. Last night I told Glen, "I can't be on a Design Team and have such a messy studio. I have an image!" LOL! Other than that, I'm going to breakfast with Glen tomorrow at Twin Oaks Airport, then in the evening we're doing a firepit at the neighbor's house. On Sunday, we are going to a birthday lunch for my sweet, sweet pal Heidi. You remember Heidi, don't cha? I'd better figure out what to make for her!!!! Okay so add THAT to my list of things to do!

Tonight I am planning on hanging out at the house, putting on a fire, and watching "Bee Season." I told you I was into Spelling Bee's! :-)

Love and polysyllabic words,

Michelle

Wow, Shell, you've had a busy, busy week. I got tired just reading about it. I am SO, SO glad that it is Friday!

I love Emmy Lou & Mark's new album!!! Heard the song "All the Roadrunning" on the radio while working at the gallery, and was so sad to hear it would be another month before the album was released! Then when shopping for my husband's birthday gift, (with him) he received a 10.00 credit for future shopping at Best Buy for spending over $100. Oddly he couldn't think of a cd to purchase, but I could, and he bought it on the spot & we listened to Emmy & Mark the rest of the day together! I was so happy that the rest of the album lived up to the one song I'd heard :).

Sounds like a productive week you've had---and a busy weekend ahead---hope you get some studio time and a chance to relax too.
