STRESS, STRESS and MORE STRESS!

Wow, what a busy few days I've had! Last Friday I had to get up early in the AM and drive to Barnwell, which killed most of my day.. since that came up, I had to cancel my plans for Thursday night.. we originally planned to attend the VIA social and then go to Capital City Club for dinner after, but because I was trying to catch up work and knew I had to travel on Friday, I opted to stay home and get some things caught up. Hated to miss things, especially the VIA social, but it couldn't be helped.. there will always be another one, I guess!

After getting home Friday from Barnwell, we attended a church social on Friday night.. that was nice, fun and relaxing. On Saturday, we worked around the house doing yard work and laundry and straightening up since our cleaning service was coming on Monday. Sunday morning went to church and then home and more of the same. It was a pretty productive weekend.

This week has been crazy so far. And it's only Wednesday! I've had lots of work for my office to catch up on because I'm leaving tomorrow for 8 days at the beach! So whenever I'm going on vacation, I always have to scramble to get things caught up! I spent Monday and Tuesday working like crazy to get my work caught up. I was supposed to attend my third and final crochet class Monday night, but because of trying to catch up AND the horrible, nasty weather outside, I did not go. I plan to re-take the class in a few months anyway and just repeat it so I can brush up on things. So I guess I'll do it again the first of the year!

Tuesday night I had my summer social for Junior Woman's Club.. it was an awesome evening, with close to 60 in attendance and lots of guests - a fun time was had by all! After the social, we had our board meeting, and it was getting pretty stormy out.. so I headed home. Today I've been running errands all day, plus I have been on call for my office today - fortunately they have not called me out! Tonight we head up to Capital City Club for the monthly Chairman's Reception member mixer and then dinner after... when I get home, I'll throw a few more things in my suitcase and then we leave in the morning for the beach. I can hardly wait to get down there and get a drink in my hand and sit by the pool... a few days of relaxing - just what the doctor ordered!

I tried to post the pics from the Capital City Club gala and the files were corrupt or something.. SOOOO no pics of me, Neel and Christy :( oh well! There was a good pic of Dennis and me too - but I could not post them.. so hopefully I'll get some more new pics to post soon from somewhere!

All in all it's been a hectic few days - but productive too, I guess! Beach, here I come!
