Really? It's not the weekend yet?

So the past week has been rough..
.. from losing 14 hours of hard work on a presentation, very long nights at the office, losing my main prospect for a job, & minor health issues.
& rough weeks aren't complete without the usual cherry on top situations like waking up late, walking into walls, tripping, forgetting your phone and wallet in one day (leaving you stranded).

Are You Having a Quarterlife Crisis?
It seems pretty silly to think that I could be having a crisis. I did answer "Yes" to most of those questions.. but I also know I could have answered "Yes" to even more of those questions when I was ten. No lie. Sometimes, I can be an overachieving mess.
I'm not having a crisis and this is not me trying to convince myself that I'm not having a crisis either.

But not all is bad, right? I've been through worse. I'm over anxiety attacks and emotional breakdowns anyway.
I can find solace in the decent weather, acts of kindness from strangers, good news for & from friends, constant support from my family and my efforts don't go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Also, I really think God is saying, "It'll Be OK," when I put my iPod on shuffle & three of my favorite songs play back-to-back. So I know I'll be more than OK.

Spring Break

I spent Spring Break in Los Angeles & Vegas.  It was wonderful, restful, & filled with good moments.  I spent it with new & old friends, in the sun, eating a lot, reading, & in the car... a lot.  So to the people who helped me fill in my Spring Break, infinite thanks! 

It was what I needed:)

Venice. 

Looking out from inside.

Venice Beach. 

I bet he's been on a lot of adventures in his long life. 

He's retired now & likes to take long walks on the beach.

He seemed like a George to me.

Santa Monica Pier. 

Beautiful Day.

Mt. Shasta.  

Road to North.

Las Vegas. 

It was windy this night but was welcomed brightly. 

New York New York. 

I got lucky on this shot; images were going very quickly. 

It was a Spring Break Escape.

MGM. RAWR. 

I have this theory, that because his exterior is some sort of bronze metal

that his heart is actually made out of gold.

I bet he's actually a sweetheart stuck in a city of sinners. 

The Cupcakery Goodness. 

We celebrated a friend's birthday! 

Parking Lot Night. 

We got bubble tea, sat out in a parking lot, took pictures, & laughed. a lot. 

4AM. 

We played Cranium, sculpted & laughed.

April Fool's Day

There are too many things to write about that I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about all the possibilities. I'm actually just feeling overwhelmed. Completely. 

It's snowing in Seattle...

So much for "April showers bring May flowers."

April snow brings May glow...?

I was never a poet.

But so you come out of this with a little bit of something, here is a picture of our April Fool's prank on our supervisor
