Friday Five

1. I am so excited about FRIDAY! Especially this Friday! Today is Byrd's homecoming game! Which is exciting enough because I do love my dear high school. BUT before he game I am going to Superior with my best buds from high school! Lauren is coming in from New Orleans, Lindsay is coming over from Ruston, Kelly is temporarily home from Florida, Jac is here, and Brooke is here!! How stinkin exciting is that?!

2. Work....whew, work. I think that is all I can really say about that.

3. Chris has 2, count them TWO, weeks left in mud school!

4. I am back in the Blackberry world!! So happy about that. I will miss the fast browser and quirky, useless games of the iPhone, but if someone else is paying for the Blackberry then I will gladly accept.

5. A good pedicure will do everyone some good. Especially when that tricky oriental lady tricks ya into the "deluxe" package. Eh, what's 10 more bucks? Not much for happy feet :)

TiVo!

I adore TiVo. Love.love.love. It is so convenient. I don't have to worry about catching my favorite shows at the exact time it is on tv. Not that I live this extremely busy and extravagant life, but it is nice to watch whenever I want. And it is also super nice to be able to fast forward through commercials! My TiVo list for a typical week-

Monday- The Bachelor/Bachlorette/Bachelor Pad (whichever happens to be in season)

Tuesday- Law and Order SVU

Wednesday- Comedy Wednesday!= Modern Family, Cougar Town

Thursday- Project Runway and Grey's Anatomy

Friday- DCC: Making the Team

Sunday- The Amazing Race, Keeping up with the Kardashians

Just a few lil shows to make it through the week.

Things, thoughts, and tasks OH MY!

Since I have started my new job, I have about 90 million things (NO, I am actually not exaggerating) going through my head on a daily basis. I told Chris today, it just seems like my day is a tornado and I just happened to survive at the end of everyday. Not a bad tornado (though I don't know if there is a good one..?), but just a wild and crazy right everyday! I can hardly remember what I did at the beginning of the day by the time I am walking to my car! So with out further ado-

Things, thoughts, and tasks that run through my mind:

• turn off alarm...
• "Actually put your feet on the ground Jennifer!"
• Check work phone- whew, no over night e-mails
• Breakfast and then make it to work.
• Review yesterday afternoon's emails make sure I didn't forget anything.
• Begin new day!
• Send press release
• Open Chancellor's report draft, send e-mail to get the rest of the needed items
• Of course somebody always has something to say about a release that has been sent out. Politely reply.
• Of course, four new e-mails, hold chancellor's report.
• Answer one, look up answer to one, attach file. And of course I don't know the answer to the next, forward question to JLa.
• Back to Chancellor's report...
• NOPE, approve 3 web pages.
• Conference call for class= 1 hourrrrr
• Visit Fellowship Luncheon
• Where was I...? OH Chancellor's report!
• Phone rings- student want to come chat about the new website and tell me everything that he doesn't agree with...perfect.
• E-mail
• E-mail
• E-mail
• E-mail
• E-mail
• E-mail, you get the point...
• Where was I??? Chancellor's report!!
• Ehhhh, send press release.
• Visit with Athletics
• Count fallen banners in the parking lot (seriously!)
• What?! It's 4:15!!?
• A few final approvals for the website.
• Oh well, save the one page I did for the Chancellor's report...there's always tomorrow.
• Walking to the car..."What did I even do today?!"

And that is just one day! In NO way am I whining though! I love this! Ha! As crazy as that sounds. The only thing I worry about is forgetting something or someone. I wouldn't say I am a perfectionist (others may) but I do want to do everything correctly and I don't want anyone thinking I am a slacker or don't care about their department/webpage/press release/picture/whatever. Because I do care, and really I just are about doing a good job!

Run, Jennifer? Run???

So, I will admit there for a while I completely fell off the running wagon. I mean maybe not completely, because I did feel guilty and wanted to run...but I didn't. Oops. But I am trying to get back on the running wagon. I will do the half marathon, eventually.

I really miss my running partner. Even though he was way faster than me, he motivates me and runs with me, at my pace. Such a sweetie.

Anywho... eating healthy and running have both been added back to my daily agenda.

Woo, go me!
