Long Day

A long day of work which concluded with the annual job fair. I'm definitley ready for Friday after this long week of either personal or professional events in the evening making very long days.

Settling In

I love my new office space and the warm sunshine that comes through my window early in the morning. I also like the fact that it's quieter and that I'm interrupted less. This morning I worked on organizing my office even more and getting settled in.

Office Move

After working all day, I spent 4 hours this evening moving my entire office (desk, file cabinet and bookshelf included) down the hall to my new office. The Dean actually helped me move my desk and then my husband arrived to help move some of the other items. I have a new desk "return" (back left corner) that still needs to be assembled so my file cabinet is serving as my desk extension or "return" in the meantime. My "pic of the day" is of the before & after move.

Lost in Translation

Today in class we discussed the topic of time management and the importance of developing a plan of action where one is working on important, yet non-urgent items so that one is always organized, prepared and nonstressed which helps create a work-life balance. Sometimes translating that to the real world is difficult when there isn't adequate time to prep or when unforeseen things come out at one that demand attention and take over what would otherwise be a peaceful day or evening. It's funny how strategies like this become lost in translation.

Birthday

I had a great birthday shared with my mom and husband. My "pic of the day" is of the flowers they bought me, and of some of the new wall decor I picked out.

Day of Creativity

What a fun day of creativity on my birthday weekend with my mom. My "pic of the day" is of the plate I got to paint at the Mudd Room. This is the "unfired" version of it. It will look somewhat different in color and the white edge part will have a "dripping" effect once it has been fired in the kiln. After this, my mom and I went to Hobby Lobby and I bought some wall decor to update my old wall decor at home. The best part about it is that I got to buy more than I thought I could because we found it all on sale for 50% off!

On a side note, today is my 265th day of blogging, which only leaves 100 days left to reach my goal of blogging for one entire year!

B-Day Dinner

Scenes from my b-day dinner tonight at the Macaroni Grill make up my "pic of the day".

Today included sleeping in (ya!), going to the gym, getting my hair cut, an impromptu eye make-up freebie session from the grand opening of Sephoria at JCPenny and then on to dinner with friends.
