Guess what I got to do today?

Well, I had a really nice weekend.

Friday night I found out about my awesome new job =D

Saturday, my mom and I drove up to Allegheny to see the 2011 Commencement and to surprise some of my favorite people =) My mission was successful--I made my friend Jenn cry when I snuck up on her and tapped her on the shoulder. It was a very glorious and fulfilling feeling. This photo here on the right is of me, Jenn and our other amazing friend Lauren. Class of 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. <3 <3 <3 Without these gals, my life at Allegheny (and now, even) would have been/would be sad sad sad. I also saw several of my sorority sisters  (Jenn is one of them) and we got a cute little photo together, too.

This photo here on the left is Christine, Me, and Steph! We all met through our sorority and Christine loves The Phantom of the Opera as much as I do, perhaps even more. And Steph? She's just Fabulous--with that capital F.

All in all it was a really great time and I'm really glad we decided to go up.

On the way home we ran into this killer rainstorm and that was a little bit nerve-wracking, but, we survived (clearly!)

Sunday I went to the Solon Center for the Arts and I saw their production of Kiss Me Kate, the show that I was going to Stage Manage but had to quit because of the accident. It was sooo good! I was really impressed with everything--costumes, acting, singing, dancing, lights, orchestra--everything! It was a great way to kick off the Signature Series there, which also includes Madame Butterfly in September and Christmas Carol Rag in December. If you live in Solon and get a chance to go see those shows--do it!!! Truly great theatre done there.

Then today! I went and got a pedicure to congratulate myself and got a really pretty Coral color put on. I love love love love getting pedicures. All your problems seem to go away while you're there, and then your toes and feet look pretty for weeks. Win all around. THEN my mom and I went to Wal*Mart and she asked the Greeter to get one of the motorized cart things that they have for people to use, you know what I'm talking about? No? It looks something like this (seen at right). It was so fun to ride around, but the goofy looks people were giving me were less fun. "Why is SHE using that?" Is what was going through their minds, I'm sure. Oh well, who cares what people say.

In other random news I finished Sarah Dessen's new book. It was really good!!! Then today at Wal*Mart I bought One Day--which will be a movie this summer with Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. I saw the preview for the film and decided to read the book before seeing the movie because the movie looks cute so it's likely that the book will be better.

I think that's all I've got for now. I really kind of like the rain we're getting---I feel less guilty about not being able to enjoy the weather when it's crappy anyways.
