1) Sheena and Jason are engaged!! My dad has suggested a double wedding, haha.
2) Lisa got tenure with the orchestra!!
Big massive congratulations to both girls!!!
Other than that... I still have a case of the blahs, which is kind of why I abandoned the ol' blog for awhile. But today I'm making a real effort to get on track, so in an effort to transfer that energy to my blog, I'm going to try writing in categories rather than chronologically taking you through my days. It could totally not work - we'll see. Here goes...
Job #1
This is creating stress #1. Yesterday we had a very successful family concert, but it was the cause for a good deal of stress.

Next week we have our first round of field-trip concerts, which means this week and next will be downright awful. I realize the field-trip concerts are a good percentage of my job, but I truly hate life while they are happening.
Job #2
It's still freezing at the front desk. No bueno. I also feel like I'm getting duped into taking extra shifts lately. It's hard to say no when you consider your supervisors your friends. If I made decent money, it would feel more "worth it." But seriously... I will be working 2 extra days this week and won't even break $25 between the two... Why do I do this again? Oh yeah... for the free gym membership... of which I am not allowed to use today. Or tomorrow. Or Wednesday...
Fitness
Sadly not much to report. Besides regular partner training with Sarah and Vinny, nothing has been really going on all that consistently. Monday's Zumba class is on hold for the next month :( I'm barely allowed to use the club, I have a stupid front desk meeting this Thursday so no Zumba then... It's too cold to run outside (I mean I could but yuck). And after Rebecca got the shaft of all shafts at her recent Michigan audition, I have a feeling we will be boycotting boxing on principle from here on out.
Food
Today is going well so far. Otherwise? Hardy har har.
Family and Friends
I've barely had time to talk to my parents on the phone over the last few days. I hope you're both hanging in there! Andy's been super busy too - I see him, but we mostly just say hello with glazed looks in our eyes, so I don't really feel very connected at this point in time. Friends are great as always. Lately I've had fun celebrating Lisa's tenure by playing another rousing round of "The Game of Things." Sarah and I have had some solid bouts of being attached at the hip lately, which is fun as always. And Katie's Superbowl (aka Beyonce Concert) fiesta was really fun. Friends, if it weren't for you, I think I'd lose it!
Apartment
The events mentioned above means I have not done laundry. I have not done dishes. I have not vacuumed or swept. I also have not been able to watch TV - specifically Downton Abbey. I am once again behind an episode.
Wedding Planning
Despair. There's no time to look at places. There are no places I really want to look at. And while I have a lot of time to become beautiful before the big day, instead I'm getting fat and pale with bad hair. Wrong direction.
Ok I can't really think of anymore categories. So... I guess I'll sign off for now! I'm going to go tanning for the first time in over a month - that should make me feel better!
