This weekend I thought about going to D.C. to play with my friends, but since I have been put on a travel ban by The Boy and just about my ENTIRE family ("Just finish, darnit!") to help my progress on the dissertation, I ended up spending the weekend here in S.C.. It wasn't a bad weekend either; I got a lot of work done and just about got all caught up on grading. I was also able to put some effort into the dissertation... AMAZING!
I also cooked quite a delicious Easter dinner; ham, green bean bundles, mashed potatoes, salad, and there was pumpkin cheesecake to round everything out. In all cases, everything was oh-so-yummy, and I was pretty proud of myself!
Easter always reminds me to be thankful for all the blessings that I have, but also that if I'm not really happy with the way things have been going in my life, that NOW is the time for a "rebirth" so to speak! Now is the time to make things happen and get to work on trying to control my own happiness. I promise I'm not about to start preaching here, but these are the thoughts that I have running through my head and therefore... it's time to get a move on!
Happy Monday!
