My feet have almost recovered...

This years birthday was a big improvement on last years bday from hell. Daniel got himself some boyfriend points for last weekend :) We had dinner at Copeland's on Saturday night and then headed to Harrahs to go Masquerade's. Daniels friends Robin & John came out and had dinner with us. Jeannie & Truc met us at Harrah's. And Sammy came out later on. All in all, I had a great night despite some alcoholic tendencies, that will be addressed with said alcoholic at a later date. I danced my happy ass off. My feet had about 4 blisters on them from my shoes!! OUCHY! It was worth it though. I treated myself to crawfish on Friday and then Daniel & I had some on Sunday. MMMMMMmmmmmmm..... I LOVE CRAWFISH!

On Monday, Daniel had a midterm but he got out early and came over to cook me dinner :) Then he gave me my bday present

The necklace is perfect and exactly what I told him I wanted.... something not too gaudy and something I could wear to work so not too expensive if I was going to wear it on a daily basis. :) :) :) :)

Oddly enough, the only thing that I didn't have on my birthday weekend was birthday cake! I'm ok with that... crawfish is much better than cake!

On top of my fabulous bday weekend, I got an email on Monday from our boss saying that we didn't have to work overtime for the time being!!!!! YAY!! So I am sitting at home in my PJs at 2:30pm on a Saturday blogging instead of working and I am loving every minute of it! Working overtime is just too much pressure. Honestly, when we are not on mandatory OT, I usually work 45 hours a week. I'm one of those people that feels that they should put in a few extra hours to make up for the unproductivity throughout the day between personal email checking, facebook checking, bathroom breaks, coffee breaks... all those breaks probably add up to 5 hours a week. So I put in my time! But when I have to work 50 hours, I feel like most of those 10 extra hours are just unproductive time. Most of the staff goes into the office on Saturdays to pull OT, but whenever I do that, I NEVER get any real work done. Anyways... I'm just happy that there will be free weekends for now.

Angela Brandenburg, an alumni AKPsi brother, came to visit this week for a night while she was en route to Texas! She ended up doing a professional event for Pi Chi's chapter. This weeks speaker got stranded in NYC due to inclimate weather so it worked out great! Angela talked about her experiences traveling the country and meeting other brothers, her newest experience in entrepreneurship and what brotherhood meant to her. She is, quite possibly, one of the most enthusiastic brothers I've ever meant. She's a bigger AKPsi dork than I am, and I honestly didn't think that was possible! I love this quote from her: "We have to figure out a way to make AKPsi to business, what NFL is to football"! A few of the brothers came up to her after her speech and gave her some great feedback! I hope she was able to spark the brotherhood fire :)

I looked up a few flights today. My youngest brother, Luke, might be coming to visit on his spring break from Houston. Lets see if my mom pulls through on that one! AND.... I looked up flights to Seattle. They are not as expensive as I expected for the time of year. I have to wait until payday, but it looks like I can get a ticket around A-Trains bday for about $200-250!!! Not too bad. I mentioned the idea to Benny Boo Boo and he seemed excited but I don't know if he will have a long weekend for Easter. We shall see!
