Ahh, Wednesday.

Today is Wednesday, and generally Wednesdays are great. Because, I only work for 2.5 hours. And then it was off to school.

When I left Photography class this morning, it was HAILING. Normally, I would have loved this, but the fact that I was carrying things that I did not want to get ruined, I had to run to my car, carrying my many bags, which I am sure looked more like a waddle than anything. In the process I think my brown moccasin (sp) slip-ons that I hold so dear to my heart have walked there last walk. The hole that was starting in the toe area is now officially exposing one of my toes. I think I may still try to salvage them, though. We'll see. The rain also made my feet turn a really gross looking brown from the shoes, kind of like i slip-n-slided across some dog poo out in the rain. I am pretty sure I didn't though.

Here are a couple post-rain shots I got on campus.

Photos

Here are some photos I took Sunday in downtown Phoenix. It was a great morning, although it was cold, but the sky was gray which made for some good pics I think.

Of Montreal So begins our alabee video

Brad will appreciate....

Currently chewing 5 pieces of After-Coffee gum at one time.

I feel like I have a creative build-up right now. And, build-ups are never good, as those commercials say.
I get this way when I cannot write or create something, for whatever reason. I think it is because I have been pretty busy and have had a lot of other things on my mind.

Today has been very quiet at work. I am chewing what seems like 5 pieces of gum right now, because I am really hungry, which is why I should not eat my lunch at 11:00 a.m., which is why I should not eat breakfast first thing when I wake up. Which, will never change, because I have been that way since I was little. It is funny, actually, that my mom use to intice me out of bed by saying "Mandy...guess what I bought...POP TARTS!!" And then I would run to the kitchen in my Winnie the Pooh pajamas with my blonde pig-tails bouncing. What can I say, I am a sugary-bad-breakfast-food lover into the depths of my soul.

I am looking forward to school starting this week. My photo class should be lovely, and my other class involves reading a bunch of books that are also movies (Fight Club, Chocolat, Big Fish, etc)--so that'll be fun.

I want to take a vacation. And, since I want to see the fam, it'll be to the Great City of Salt. Waiting on being able to schedule the time off sort of sucks, but hopefully I can make it there soon. Even if just for a weekend if I have to. Today I was looking on the newspaper's website and it had pictures of the lightrail system in Salt Lake City. I guess Phoenix is trying to take some pointers from their system. Anyway, it sort of made me sad. Until I saw the people wearing gigantic puffy coats for fear of freezing to death. :)

I forsee tomorrow will be a great day, because:

a. No work because of the holiday.
b. I am going to try to go to a yoga class at the gym, where I will breathe deep breaths and think of frolicking through a lush green field that probably resembles Costa Rica (or whatever they tell you to imagine when trying to find your 'center')
c. I am going to get very organized to start the semester off the right way.

Busy these days

Things have been very busy. I want to write, because I have lots of thoughts in my head at the moment. I can't seem to compose any sort of writings lately, even though I have plenty to write about.
Maybe...I need a muse.
I think I have been at work for too long today. Time to go home now.

2007 is here......

The holidays were great. Lots of new things on the horizon, it seems. I am feeling anxious today, and maybe that is why. It isn't necessarily bad anxiety (is there good anxiety?), but I haven't felt this way in a while so maybe that is why I am sort of freaked out by it.
New Year's Eve was very fun. At certain times throughout the evening I wore a sombrero, oven mitts made of quality rubber, embarassingly (for him, probably) dancing with my boyfriend to some pop music that is only good if you have had a few things to drink, and needing to change my shirt due to a large stain (someone said "What, is this a fashion show??". Me: "I HATE stains!!)
2005 had its ups and downs, and it went by SO fast! I can't believe how fast it went by. I am really looking forward to this year and all of the adventures it brings.
