Sorry

Okay, the pics in that last one are huge and I don't know why. I resized them, or so I thought....rar. Well, enjoy them in all their glorious hugeness.

I was in Albion today to have dinner with Laura Gessford--I mean, Kiernan (sorry hun, you'll always been Laura Gessford to me! ;) ) at--yay!--Charlie's. But it didn't sit well with me....I must be out of the practice of eating deep fried fat. Oh well. I also thought the SAI chapter was having their American Composers concert tonight, but that didn't happen. Very confused, I was.

Last weekend was AWESOME. I went to Career Conference in Lansing, which was my first big MK event and let me tell you, it was worth it. Besides getting a free microdermabrasion kit (yay again!), it was just about the most fun I'd had in awhile. Can't remember a time I was ever in a room with 300 women and they were all happy. Come to think of it, I rarely am in a room with 3 women who are all happy at the same time. So you can guess how odd and fantastic this was. I also ran into Jody Vinic there, who I guess just recently signed as a consultant--that was exciting. I got her number so we can catch up--it's been awhile to say the least.

I also met a really awesome girl recently named Michelle, and she's one of those people who just makes you happy. She made me happy professionally after attending a meeting with me and buying a whole lot of stuff, clearly, but she's just got this awesome personality. And she lives like five minutes away from me, so I'm hoping we can strike up a friendship apart from our new business one. She's kind of interested in doing the business herself, but even aside from that, she just seems cool. She's a dancer and finishing her teaching degree at Western. And holy cow do we have a lot in common. She's also getting married, which is how I met her (she was a lead from David's Bridal)--and her future mother-in-law said to me at the store when I met them that her son had said, when he was something like six or seven years old, that he was going to marry Michelle. And now he is! How sweet is that?

Not really sure what I'm going to be doing this weekend. It's still kind of up in the air. I don't have any set holiday plans or anything, and Ryan's out of town now on vacation with his sister. I am almost in awe of how much I already miss him. It sounds corny and sappy to me even now as I write it, but it's real. It's like having the other half of you gone. I imagine this is how he felt when I went to school in NH in January. That trip was the longest we'd ever been apart since the early days before he moved here (and even then we made an effort to see each other most weekends, throwing all fuel conservation and budget constraints to the wind). Now he's going to be gone for a week. And I am so tempted to hire Jessica Horste to clean my house so that I don't have to deal with it.

On the up side, he did take Civilizations III away with him to give back to Kevin, so I don't have that distraction anymore. Man, that game is like crack. And it's not even that exciting. Yet you're still glued to it! I seriously spent more hours on that game than I think I spent studying this week. Yuck! Which means I'm really going to have to knuckle down tomorrow and Friday so that I don't freak out next week when I have to mail my next packet in.
