Busy Weekend!

I must say it was a crazy weekend. I have been trying to get as much of my homework done for the next two weeks since I am getting my wisdom teeth out in 4 days. I have heard so many horror stories about the lengthy recovery times that I don't want to run the risk of not being able to function for homework's sake. So instead of the average load of homework, I have been working on double the fun. For example, within the next two weeks, I have 4 studio art pieces, a powerpoint presentation, 2 chapters with questions, an article summary, 3 page artist critique, discussion questions and responses, beginning work on our group project, and sketchbook work all due. Yay! No worries though, to be honest, if I continue at the rate I am going I will finish in no time. 

On Saturday, I decided to do something girly. For those of you who know me, girly is not a word that is used to describe me very often. My friend Andrea started up her Mary Kay business and invited to her debut party. It was a lot of fun. Aside from the fact that I poked myself in the eye with a mascara brush, I actually did fairly well. But, before you ask, no I didn't take any pictures with the make up on. It wasn't too much anyway, but the main difference for me was that it eliminated a lot of the red tones that are usually in my face. Granted, I am still not a make up person, but one thing I did discover is that they have a line of sun care products. One of which is an after sun gel. Considering the sun burns I tend to get, that just may come in very very handy. I also picked up some mint foot lotion for my mom as a gift for taking me to the dentist this week. 

Yesterday was a pretty crazy day as well. After work, I headed home to get ready because Ricky and I were scheduled to go to a first time home buyers seminar. We weren't expecting much, but we figured any information is good information. We found out that our chances of getting a house before I get a job are non-existent and that the options for help are completely gone. Granted, considering the economy, we figured that was going to be the case, but it also may mean that we have to consider looking elsewhere instead of staying in this house. I think from now on when we find a house we like, I am not going to say that we would consider buying it because every time we do, something else comes up. The thing is though that what is supposed to happen will happen, so we are taking the whole process one day at a time and figure it will work itself out. Besides, we have been renting for this long, what's a few more years, right?

After the seminar and dinner, Best Buy was having their annual store party at the Froggers in Oviedo. Ricky and I decided to go so that Ricky could see a few of the BBY people again. It was such a nice night and such a great turn out. A good portion of our store was there and most of them ended up playing beer pong at some point. Ricky hadn't played in a long time, and yet managed to win the game he was playing. I was so proud. 

Today (although not the weekend) was the crowning point of the week. I FINALLY got my student loans disbursed today! They came just in time too. I was able to purchase our airline tickets for May for our trip to DC as well as pay bills and the biggest event... buying our new TV! Ricky is picking it up tonight since the box would not even begin to fit into my car (thank you Gary!) and it will be joining our family this evening just in time for our Super Bowl Party this weekend. The one thing I couldn't get today was the new receiver to replace the old busted one we have, but it will do until the other ones come in. (silly backordered product)

So things are moving along here, I am off to work on some more homework. I just wanted to post an update since a lot has been happening lately. 

And in answer to the question that has been plaguing your minds.. no I am not going to take picks of myself and post them after I get my wisdom teeth out. No chipmunk faces here =P.
