Sabbatical Begins!!

Today has been a fabulous day. Well, it started off a little rocky, but that's only because I stayed up helping the rest of the family pack and move things from the old craft room and into the new craft house (which is "done" by the way!!). Then I had to get up early to take the fam to the max station so they could go to the airport.

Let's ignore the fact that they left me to go on a two week Disney cruise through the Bahamas and then across the Atlantic. Let's IGNORE the fact that they will then land in Barcelona and spend almost a week touring the beautiful buildings by Gaudi, eating tasty paella, and shopping for cute stuff. Without me.

Ignore all that.

Let's focus on the fact that I got to do WHATEVER I WANTED TODAY!! I had a little bit of homework to do and at some point before work tomorrow I need to mend the pocket on my work apron. But that's all I HAD to do.

Dishwasher needs to be unloaded? Meh. I can pull dishes out as I need them.

Laundry to put away? Whatevs. Jesi isn't here to get her clothes mixed up with mine.

Granted, I put these things off all the time. There's just no guilt right now thinking about what Mom would say if she noticed such things haven't been done.

What DID I do? I finally got a chance to watch some more of Rooftop Prince (the Korean drama I am currently working on). I also played with some makeup trying to do something that might work with an Ursula costume. No, I'm not posting pictures of my drag queen makeup. It still needs some refining. Namely the eyebrows. How do you cover up the real eyebrows so you can draw on the really high black ones? I don't know.

Now I'm thinking I might go see a movie (Ursula makeup has been removed and replaced with my more normal routine). I'm torn between Oblivion and Star Trek. I really want to see both of them... but I don't know which one to see tonight! Probably Oblivion and then see Star Trek next week. We'll see.

So, while the family is gone, I plan on doing some fun things. Like... um... reading up on the prevalence and treatment of borderline personality disorder? No, that's homework. Writing a report about examining the results of a NEO PI-R and STRONG assessment? Nope, also homework. Work, work, work... Well, at some point I should have some time for fun!

Dad was able to move some of the big things out of Mom's old craft room and make it possible for me to paint in there!! Did I mention that I get her old craft room for my new room? Yay! I'm so excited!! I'll be moving out the smaller things while they are gone and painting around the large furniture that's left in there (Dad was able to get it all into the middle of the room for me). I might even start moving some of my own stuff into the shelves. I'm REALLY excited about my new room. It's going to be super cute. ^_^

All in all, life is good. I got promoted to assistant store manager and we got some new people at work so things, as usual, are pretty busy over at Dream Dinners. I'm doing great in all my classes, though they definitely keep me hopping. A few weeks ago I was inducted into Chi Sigma Iota (the counseling honors society), which is also pretty cool. I got a pin with Greek letters on it and everything.

And that's about it. Not much else going on around here. But, really? Isn't that kind of enough? <3
