Tuesday, It Is.

Happy Tuesday, fair readers. I hope you are all doing well and had a nice weekend. I know for many people the weekend was spent helping with tornado clean-up (a very long, difficult process) and assistance. I hope that everyone is still safe and sound and that some progress was made. I actually spent the weekend in a very nice way: helping celebrate the wedding of my dear friend Christina. We had a girls' night on Thursday (painting some pottery-pictures to follow...maybe...if it turns out okay!), then luncheon, rehearsal, and crawfish boil rehearsal dinner! It was all really fun and relaxed and wonderful, topped only by the beautiful ceremony and reception on Saturday! All you ladies will be extremely envious of the amazing bridesmaid dresses Christina picked out for us (green seersucker, so, so cute!); it is literally a dress that I will wear again (soon and frequently, I imagine). Anyway, it was a great wedding weekend, followed by a quiet and lovely Mother's Day. And Happy Mother's Day to all of you great, dedicated, loving mothers (especially my own). I hope you were rightfully celebrated on Sunday and appreciated for everything that you do!

On the health front, I am scheduled for a breast ultrasound (and biopsy if needed--hopefully not needed) next Wednesday, May 18th. If you have an extra minute that day, please send up a prayer for me. This is actually a test that I have never had before (I didn't think there were any of those left!), so I am a bit nervous, not knowing what to expect, and naturally a bit anxious about the results. Lucky for me, I have plenty of studying to keep me busy until then. I'm currently focusing my efforts on Health Communications (Part 2 of 4 of comps). It is interesting, but difficult to envision having an endless supply of knowledge of the whole field accessible in my mind for whatever question(s) the comp might entail. We're making progress, though.

Anyway, I just wanted to update, say I'm thinking of everyone out there, and wish congrats to my dear Christina and her new husband--who are not reading this, as they are on their honeymoon in Napa :) as well as my sincere thank you to all the wonderful mother's out there, especially my mother, my two amazing grandmothers, and my two unparalleled godmothers. Take care of yourselves, and I'll be in touch soon (perhaps with amusing photos from my shoddy attempt at pottery, ha).
