All good things must come to an end.

I had such a good weekend! I have a bittersweet relationship with weekends like this. I love them so much and then resent them for leaving me. Hopefully I have a good week this week to make up for my loss.

On Friday I went to downtown Lawrence for dinner. While I was down there, I walked up part of Mass Street and wandered into an old bookstore, walked past all sorts of quaint shops and boutiques, and made my way into a shoe store that had mood flip flops. I so want a pair! Mood rings are pretty awesome but mood flip flops take the cake. Then I met a friend for dinner at Zen Zero where we chowed down on some delicious Pad Thai. Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, just do it. I will forever be grateful to my friend Laura who introduced me to my first bite. My life will never be the same. My friend tried it for the first time and absolutely loved it too. I'm happy to pass along the goodness that is Pad Thai.

Saturday morning my friend Larissa and I made it to KC for the art festival. It was amazing. It really made me wish I was creative and resourceful. I guess I'm creative sometimes but my execution leaves something to be desired. I'm grateful for those who produce great pieces of art that I may buy (someday when I'm rich.) Later that day, I met some new people at a friend's house, made my way over to the General Relief Society Broadcast, and then got home early enough to go to bed at a fairly decent hour. I have sure enjoyed my sleep the last few days.

Have you ever had one of those days where you're just in a great mood and nothing can really go wrong? Today was one of those days. I loved it. I met a few new people in the ward. I have decided that I can be outgoing and not wait for people to introduce themselves to me which has gotten me at least three new acquaintances. It helps that I now have a calling in the ward in which I need to know who the girls are. My home teachers came over which was fun. I always love company. Actually, that's a part of my life in Illinois that I miss very much. Maybe I need to throw a party at my place soon. Movie night anyone? And then I just hung out in my apartment with the windows open (it was such a beautiful day!) practiced the piano, and started reading Catcher in the Rye. I love the book so far and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun read. I guess my opinion could change once I finish the book but with my crazy schedule, that could be awhile. You might as well get started reading it without waiting for my final verdict.

In short, I really don't want this weekend to be over. Can I please have another day?

This past week at work was the culmination of all of our hard work for the past three months. We had our Q1 line reviews. It consisted of long meetings with lots of people, a few changes to our line, and several late nights. I'm really crossing my fingers that the next three weeks won't be quite as hectic. Then I guess I will be ready to tackle the next three months to do it all over again. Please check out my shoes at your nearest Payless starting In February 2011. They are my babies. :) I hope you all had a great weekend as well! And seriously, I'm starting a pot if you'd like to donate money for me to attend the BYU football games. It really seems as though they need me...
