"Where has all the time gone?"
That's the only reference I'm going to make to being short on time in this post.
Yesterday was a day full of wondrous Emory-related events. I worked at a classical concert and at the Corpus Cordis Aureum reception, which is the group of Emory alumni that graduated at least 50 years ago. It was interesting noting the differences between the new graduates and the CCA graduates. The new graduates refused to wait in short lines at the block party, while the CCA folks waited several times as long and never even made a remark about it. While this isn't a direct reference to the thing I said I wasn't going to reference earlier, it's neat how waiting seems irrelevant when you're 80 years old. I could stand to exemplify some of that patience more in my day-to-day life. There's no need to be in such a stinkin' hurry all the time.
This morning I got up a few minutes before 4:00 a.m. to get ready for commencement. Thankfully, although it was cold outside, the weather cooperated and the rain held off until later in the day. Arnold Schwarzenegger delivered the commencement address and, I've got to admit, he was pretty funny. Inspiring? Umm, not so much. Entertaining? Yes! He literally went through all of the lines folks would want him to say, including "Hasta la vista, baby," "It's not a tumor," "I'll be back," etc. He was good-humored about the whole thing. Although he attempted, there wasn't a very moving message, but it was enjoyable to watch, so I didn't mind.
I got home a little before lunchtime. Since it's my wonderful sister's birthday, I treated her to lunch at our favorite, El Toro. I ate quickly and came home and worked for a while until I just couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I knocked a few more things out and then headed downtown to rehearsal. Traffic was an absolute nightmare, but I was surprised to arrive only six minutes late. We worked on Oscars, which was fun.
My SC joint is literally killing me. I think I need to call el doctor tomorrow. I sound like such a hypochondriac in these posts sometimes.
Tomorrow is the big day! I have study-related appointments at 7:50 and 8:30 a.m., so it's gonna be another lengthy day. Then, off to work to knock things out until it's time to get ready for the show. Tickets have been pouring in left and right, so I am getting very excited. I think my doctor is going to be there as well, so that's awesome news! Although a few donations haven't posted online yet, Drew's Crew exceeded $16K today. I AM READY TO PUMP YOU UP!

Laugh 'til you Cizzy
What can I say?! Today I am feeling better about the benefit show! So far it has raised $490, and I know there are plenty of other folks that plan to get tickets. Get 'em while they're hot! I hope to get some backing from some of the doctors and what not...
Well, I got up and did the early-to-work thing again today. However, I didn't exercise after work today. I just took it easy, which is good. I definitely could have used my free time more effectively, but oh well. I feel like the night lasted forever, which is a perk of being unaccomplished. I am going into work tomorrow morning even though it's one of my telecommute days. I am meeting the show emcee to check out the space for the benefit. Then I am going to a luncheon for one of my friends at the Cobb Energy Center. I nominated him for a nursing award, and the nominees are getting recognized at a luncheon. It should be fun!
I plan to exercise in the morning, so I hope that works out well. Tomorrow will be a long and adventurous day, but it should be fun. I have got a long weekend of working commencement ahead of me. I work Friday night, most of the day Saturday and Sunday, followed by being there super-early on commencement morning (Monday). I'm kind of thankful I got spared the night responsibilities this year, but it's gonna be a busy weekend nonetheless.
Well, I went to Willy's today. I know it doesn't exactly fit my nutritional goals, but I did have a big variety of color on there, so I must have gotten some kind of value from it... or so I hope! Man, those nachos were good and it was fun to get to visit with work friends! I ran into half of our staff there - a bunch of addicts.
Drew's Crew is at $14,270.83, which makes me very happy! I really, really, really hope we can hit our goal of $20K. I know it gets tough in the middle of the campaign, but things tend to pick up near the end, so I am hopeful! And thankful.
It's bedtime for sure. Tomorrow might be a Starbucks morning. I haven't gone yet this week, which is surprising given my early mornings. Mmm, latte.

Got a pebble
Hi. It is past my bedtime. Nobody can stop me.
I got up this morning and wrote a dream down in my dream journal. It was a really creepy, horroresque type dream. There wasn't a serial killer on the loose or anything, but people were all on the ground on their backs meditating like it was a cult or something. It was just all really strange, like these people were half-zombie or something. Ironically, it looked strikingly like improv warm-up, but there were hundreds of people and they all seemed possessed. Hmm! I didn't look in the dictionary today, but I'll check it out tomorrow. ODD!
I sold some tickets to the improv benefit show today. I could start to freak out soon, but I don't think it would be productive. Rather, I should use that time to market the event. So, instead of freaking out right now, here goes: http://www.cff.org/great_strides/laughtilyoucough. Drew's Crew is sitting at $13,895.83 right now. I know we'll hit $14K tomorrow, especially when you get your ticket to the show. :-)
Today I went into work early as planned. By the way, it was raining harder this morning in Atlanta than I remember in a long time - probably even harder than the flood last year. I went to Artuzzi's for lunch with a colleague and had the chopped chicken gorgonzola salad. Man, that's one of the best salads ever, and this is from a person who does not usually like salad. I got to leave right at 4:30 p.m. and headed home.
When I got home, I went to the gym and exercised. I ran a bit on the treadmill, but my stinkin' SC joint was bothering me. It's been flaring up a bit lately, and I'm not sure what to do about it. Anyway, I ended up getting off of the treadmill and onto the elliptical since I can keep my arms still or move them in a very controlled way. It was a pretty good workout. I meant to lift some weights when I got back to my place, but I apparently got sidetracked. Perhaps tomorrow!
Rehearsal was late tonight - from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. It was pretty fun, though. It was nice getting to come home before rehearsal for the first time in forever. I'm glad I planned it that way because I had plenty of time to remove myself from the working mindset. We mainly played Blind Scene, which was fun because it's much easier to truly improvise when you have no idea what's going on in the scene. To everyone except my improv friends or super-fans (Mom!), that probably meant nothing. Anyway, I enjoyed tonight.
Tomorrow I'm going to do the early-to-work thing again. I got a shower right before rehearsal knowing that I'd be up late tonight. Why am I still up?! Oh me, oh my. I look forward to going in early, getting out early, and having tomorrow evening/night all to myself. That's TIME!

Coffee + Twix
I don't even know how it could possibly be Monday; it seems like I just wrote in here yesterday. But I was wrong.
Saturday I got up and was slightly lazy until it was time to get ready for the Braves game. We grabbed El Toro on the way to the game, which was absolutely delicious. Me, my mom, and my sister went and we sat in front of the most annoying people I may have ever encountered. They were Phillies' fans, so that wasn't much of a surprise. They were just being over-the-top obnoxious and I think anyone would agree. I made some pretty feisty comments, as usual, and thankfully they left once Philly was losing badly enough. My record is 9-2..... AWESOME!
Sunday I got up and went to spin class for the first time in several months. I successfully entered L.A. Fitness, which was great. It's always a coin toss going in there; I'm waiting for the day they stop me. I laid around like a lazy bum for most of Sunday and headed out to my parents' house for a wonderful dinner.
Today I woke up to the biggest disaster I've seen in Atlanta in my life. The amount of rainfall we've seen over the last several days is absolutely ridiculous, so the flooding was out of control. For Spaghetti Junction to have been closed, you know the world is screeching to a halt. I got into work two hours late because I was waiting for the roads to open up. I left work at about 4:15 p.m. to get a head start on the drive that eventually took me 1 hour and 45 minutes. I also had a parking ticket on my car today, so I want to commend the parking attendant who is heartless enough to go around ticketing people on what was already a miserable day for everyone I know. Jerk.
Improv was canceled tonight so my roommate and I hung out and had Gab Fest 2K9. We also went to Coldstone and I decided to get crazy with it tonight - instead of watermelon sorbet/gummy bears I got coffee/Twix. I hate to say it wasn't the best decision I've ever made. I should have gone with the old faithful.
Anyways, I'm heading to sleep. I have to get as much beauty rest as possible because we're taking staff photos tomorrow, barring the monsoon.
