Furniture/Art

Well, another long week over with. My promotion test was brutal and I highly doubt I made it. Oh well, there is always next year. I did order a new living room set this week which should be here in 2-3 weeks. It is really nice and will accentuate the other furniture and art very well. I also ordered a couple pieces of art. One is Washington crossing the Delaware; that one will go above the lamp. The other is a nice scenic image that will go above the dining room table. I have really started to get into the art thing lately. There are still several more pieces that I plan on purchasing in the near future. I have basically been trying to turn my house into a more grown up version of me. For the longest time, I have had a lot of hand-me-down items or furniture that I bought when I was first on my own. Now that I am older and realize what type of furniture and art represent me, I am making some changes. I have really enjoyed seeing the gradual transformation of the interior of my house and cannot wait until I have completed it.

Stress Relief

I find that writing stuff down tends to relieve stress. Lately, I have been bogged down by the stress from work and trying to finish my degree. Those that know me well know that I do not venture out on the weekends often. I am often a recluse, spending my weekends at home with my two dogs and cat. It is my time to relax and allows me to forget about the things that cause stress in my life. At the same time though, I have found that maybe going out a little more would be good for me. Take this weekend for example. I had an extremely stressful week at work and decided to go out with some friends last night; drank some beer, watched people do karaoke, and danced to some wonderful country music with beautiful women. I genuinely had a lot of fun and it made me realize that I need to be more sociable with those that I am friends with. So from now on, probably not every weekend, but maybe every other weekend, I plan on going out and enjoying a night with those I consider friends. I think it will be good for me because let's face it, sitting at home by myself is only fun and relaxing for so long.

First Blog

So I'm sitting here creating this blog at a time when I should either be writing a school paper or studying for a promotion. Neither of these things sound appealing to me at the moment, even though my promotion test is on Monday! I am feeling very pessimistic about my chances, as this is my first time taking the test. My paper is only 1000-1200 words which should be no sweat, so I will just wait until tomorrow when it is due. My life is sort of a whirlwind of craziness and monotony lately, so here is to hoping things begin to move in the right direction. Stay tuned for more to come...
