Time for some Photography

I am thinking it is time for me to take a photography class. I need a hobby that isn't work! Right now at work we are working on putting together a multimedia lab for teens and staff would need to take classes on the software and equiptment...so maybe I could take a class for free?

In other hobby news I am almost done with the bridesmaid dress. It has taken months of work and fitting and procrastinating. But I am nearly there.

I <3 Olympics

YAAAA for the Olympics! This is possibly one of my favorite times of the year. It is amazing to see humans performing at the height of their physical prowess. It makes me want to devote myself to the perfection of a single movement...but I am too lazy!

It is really cool that the Olympics are in Beijing this year. A city I have been too! I am enjoying seeing scenes of places I have been to before with my good friend Amber Redding in 8th grade. I am starting to get that lightness of foot that means its time for a trip! I have scheduled a trip to go visit Rachel over her Thanksgiving break. I can't wait. Pennsylvenia is a new state for me and I plan to explore it all (or at least Rachel's corner).

I find myself very satisfied today. I had a rough and tumble day at work, everything went fast. But I got enough done to call it a pretty productive day. After work was a quick trip to the doc for a check up and a clean bill of health and some new medication tips that promises to improve my life! Then it was to dollar sushi night! 3.99 rolls at Friends Sushi on 39th street. Then it was a happy and full Kate that headed home in her newly cleaned car into her newly cleaned apt. I feel very happy about where I am right now. I hope this feeling lasts. And now I am going to use my new iGoogle Olympics widget to decide what events to watch next!

I can't keep this up

Today has been a tough day at work. I have been working on several large projects lately and they are starting to drive me nuts! I am looking forward to my weekend break...which I get to spend sewing a bridesmaid dress! I don't understand how people do it!

I have a very brave coworker who has a six year old son, works a full time job at the library, volunteers at the hospital and has just signed up to teach a class at a local high school! Where does she find the time!? I can't seem to keep my life on track. I feel like I get into a productive groove and I am going good and it only takes one small thing to throw me off; a trip, a guest, an extra long week or extra short weekend.

I think I have put a little bit of a finger on it, I am a person of habbit living with a spontanious boyfriend! I love him for it, don't get me wrong, but he throws me off kilter. Right now I need all the kilter I can get!! Hopefully once fall and winter set in he won't be nagging me to get out of the house and go on trips as often (we spent about one weekend a month in KC this summer). I am looking forward to that.

On a lighter note the Olympics are almost here! I love watching the olympics and fully intend on sewing to some swiming meets! Ah if only I could do the things they do...but I don't want to train that much! Well I am done with my little whine-fest and hopefully I will come up with an idea to throw myself into that doesn't cost any money or time! Wish me luck!
