Ups and Downs

Earlier this week, I felt like this:


School was a teeny bit stressful because I had all of my final presentations within a week and a half. Eek! And I wound up putting in some extra hours at work... So sleep and I were not close friends.

But...

- On the upside, April showers (of which we had plenty! Look at my soaking wet pants below....) do bring May flowers! Lots of them! The trees around here are beautiful! Sorry I don't have any pics yet, but I'll give you a preview: My favorite trees have pale yellow blossoms. My second favorite have salmon-colored flowers, which I think is fascinating-- I don't think I've ever really seen plants wearing that particular shade before.

My soaking wet pants-- ha ha!



- On the upside, the sun has decided it likes to shine most days now. Yay! This is also fun because people come pouring out of their offices during the lunch hour, and they're fun to watch. I love seeing people walk together!

- On the upside, Tony and I have been seeing each other a little more frequently, despite our busy schedules. The adage that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" does not work for me. Time together = a much calmer, happier Rachel. Last week when he was out here, we went to a birthday party for one of the guys at school where I finally (finally!) got to wear my pearls. I don't have many occasions to show them off!



Here's to beginning another whirlwind week... But a little smarter this time, with proper attention paid to Mr. Sandman. ;)

Rachie, I love reading your blog! It makes me laugh every time because there's always something totally unexpected and random :) And I love your sense of humor about life.
