I had a really discouraging day. Not fun in the work thing. I got flamed by a donor (rich rich person with strong sense of entitlement) at the end and this after a long week of struggling with a new email system and sending quotas and tech support nightmares. I have about hit my limit. If I did not have to go in tomorrow, I would not. I would totally take tomorrow off but I have projects to supervise. Honestly - this person's reaction was disproportionate to the mistake I made. I ran it by a friend of mine and he let me know that it was. It does not feel better though. I am really hard on myself. Anyhoo. That is where I am at. Feeling shitty about this.

My job applications have gone no where. I think I need to revamp my cover letter and resume to make them more jazzy. I will work on that tomorrow and pep up my application packet. I think my recent apps are a zilch there.

Anyhoo. Down but not out. I think I am going to have a conversation with my supervisor and go from there. Clear the air.

Ugh. UGH! I feel better having written this all out.

BTW - I am still very tired but in general feeling better. I think I need a good long rest this weekend and I have a spa day planned at the salon. I am getting my hair colored and nails done. Woot. A little self care will do wonders.

Hope all is well with you and thanks for reading my little post. Ended up longer than planned.

Dye-ing my hair. Just my usual brown but I cannot afford the 60-80 bucks it costs to go to the salon anymore, much as I love the star treatment I got when going there. So youth in a bottle for me. This is pretty easy and I leave it on extra long to cover my grey. Lots of grey.

Not much news to report this week. Work has quieted down and I am beginning research for our summer staff events and Fall development events.

Travel is in my future. I am going to New Hampshire to visit my family in July for a week. Looking forward to that. And then to Hawaii at the end of September on a jaunt with [livejournal.com profile] khylea. We found an idealic house to rent on the Big Island and are getting our stuff together for that vacation. If you stay away from the hotels there...things are pretty reasonable. The property we are renting is gorgeous with a pool and a waterfall for swimming. Really nice. I had heard to not look at craigslist there so we looked at a site called vrbo.com. It seemed to have rentals all over the place, not just Hawaii. Good deals.

That is about it. I think we are going to Wal-Fart today. That is about it. I am all a-flutter about that. :P

See ya.

Went to the beauty parlour today. Got a dye and cut. Yep yep. I get the best deal in town as I go to the latino shop and they have wicked cheap prices. The color is outstanding and my colorist does just what I want...nice, rich, dark color. My old person used to lighten it too much and did not listen. Dark, I want it dark.

Picspam alert. Just one piccie. Promise....

The hair...the dooo...the style...the chic... )

Now I know I look a little bit like Eric Estrada from CHIPS there but go with it. Look at the hair not the sunglasses. Heh. At least it is not another turtle shot.

In other news.

I went shopping at Homes Despot, Homes Desperate...otherwise known as Home Depot. Man that place is overwhelming. I spent most of my time in plantzzz as I find that area serene and peaceful. Then I lounged in the patio furniture and had a little nap. I am lucky they did not think me a vagrant. O.o

Later we had burgers and I took myself off to my own abode.

Here I sit...talking to you at close to midnight. *hugs* Bed for me.

Tomorrow: Bunday!!!! *jungle sounds*

So, it was a good day. I got a new rug (pic not working on my mobile site so I will post it another time) and did some shopping. I got some good bargoons on sale items.

One the way home we stopped at the Mormon Temple in Oakland, CA. I did not know this but they decorate it each year with a spectacular display of lights. In the center is a nativity scene but I did not get pics of that. Cha.

The Mormon Temple in all its spendour.. )

How lovely, eh? The best lights of the year, right there. Just wanted to share.

Good night and sleep well all of you.

Over and out.

I am late with my last bit of the thanks meme. I missed my entry for yesterday. I got all bizzy. But this thank you has to do with this morning.

#30: Thanks for the beautiful sunrise and for the lovely morning so far. The smell of coffee, my lovely cat and the hot shower. I am just in a wonderful mood and all seems right with the world. I caught the light as it started to glow behind the hills here and it was just majestic. Somehow I never look out the window at that and I did today. It was spectacular.

I will miss doing this every day. We need another meme like this one. Hmm.

I am so glad it is the weekend.

Cal-Stanford game on Saturday at noon. There will be no driving anywhere. I do not want to lose my parking. I got the title to the old beastie car so I can finally get rid of it. YAY. Uhh. That is about it.

I will do my holiday cards today. I will.
