lesson learned

this week i learned that even if you're working full-time, you should take time during the week to enjoy yourself. before, i used to just come home and nap, eat dinner, and lay around until bedtime. it's true, working all day is exhausting. even though you're tired, i decided that is a sorry approach because then you are only allowing yourself to have fun on the weekends. and why restrict yourself to 2 days of fun? especially whenever this isn't your real job, and this is supposed to be your fun year off... so i took a different approach this week!

monday, caitlin and i went to chuy's after i got off work, and she got off jury duty! it was fun just sitting around talking. there's something really cool about having had a friend for 11 years. woah, that is half our lives! this pic was taken senior year. caitlin, please don't kill me!

tuesday, i got to skype with leigh anne! (insert happy birthday shout-out to mrs. swarbrick!) -- i love skype. and leigh anne. and sharing deal-saving ideas, haha.

wednesday, i failed at doing something fun. was too busy cleaning and getting ready because on...

thursday, cecilia came into town! the future dr. benz had an interview at UT-Houston Med, so she stayed with me for the night, and i took her out for meditteranean food. we also made a little pitstop in highland village - super nice part of houston that i had underappreciated until this point. after drooling over anthro's clothes and wandering through central market, we came home and crashed.

friday, cec came over after her interview, and we had pizza, then she went to stay with her old roomies. i wrapped up the night with a batch of homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and a good book.

overall, it was the best week i've had in a long time! caitlin and i are already planning an adventure in houston this week! then i'll be in waco next weekend :) - glad i'm finally starting to figure out the whole time management thing! happy weekend, blog friends!
