Happy Birthday Phillip! Thanks for gracing us all with your online presence. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and Shana chooses a good cake. :D

I'm posting now while I'm still in a good mood. :) My day got better yesterday- tutoring was cancelled again, so I got to go right home. I called Debra on my way home and she cheered me up. Then Kathy made grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, and Evan's class got cancelled, so he came over early and we had a relaxing time together. And TOW Everybody Finds Out was on TV- I can't believe that was only the #4 ranked episode! What the heck is #1 going to be? I'm betting TOW The List (the episode right after Ross and Rachel kiss for the first time; it includes my favorite Phoebe song ever).

You know, my style is just not cut out for a business environment. I almost always wear a jean skirt on Friday, in celebration of Friday. I always feel conspicuous next to all the black pantsuits. Today, in celebration of springtime, I'm also wearing my new Steve Madden sandals...so I feel even more like I'm about to be accosted by the office fashion police. Thankfully, my boss is fine with it and I see it as a sort of protest. Why should work equal boring clothes, as long as you look nice?

I was supposed to have lunch with Alli today, but she just cancelled. Well, it'll make it easier for me to pick up the cake for the party. Maybe I can also go by Wendy's and get one of those new spinach salads. Tonight Evan and I are shopping for a dress shirt for him to wear to Ashley and Kathryn's wedding tomorrow! It'll be fun seeing him in a tie. :) This will be a nice weekend.

On a spiritual note (gasp!), do you ever have days when you just feel bogged down by your own sinfulness? I've fallen short this week in so many areas. One of my new goals is to really work on my self-centeredness. I'm not the kind of person who goes out of her way to be friendly to people, and maybe I need to work on that. And please don't comment to tell me I'm not self-centered, because that's not my point. :)

If I have time later I'll do the Friday lyrics poll...unless everyone is tired of them.

I wish I could see your outfit today, it sounds very cute! I'd especially love to see the sandals. I love sandals... just talking about them makes me all in the mood for summer! I much prefer a jean skirt and sandals over dreary black pant-suits any day. (To wear or to see someone else wearing!) So good choice. =)
I will not say that you aren't self-centered even though I do want to. But I will say that just in the LJ world I have seen you "go out of your way to be friendly to people" quite frequently. Maybe it's not the LJ world that you are concerned about, but that's just my 2 cents. :-)

Thanks! :) It's not LJ that I'm concerned about, though. It's easy to be friendly on LJ. But I have work friends who are always going out of their way to say hello and ask how people are doing. I tend to kind of ignore or hide from people I don't know. I need to be more extroverted.

Definitely. You're a nice, and friendly person, I think.

I know the feeling you get when you feel like you're not going out of your way to be nice and friendly to others. I do it a lot, and it bothers me a bit. Well, there will be opportunities to step out and try something new in that area :)

I don't know if you're talking about me or Rebecca...but if it's me, thanks. :)

I am not tired of the lyrics poll! Fix me up some lyric stew.

Oh that song by Phoebe is hilarious--I forgot about that one! Though I am glad it was a rerun last night. I've been forgetting to set the VCR before I go to choir.

I'm glad you're in a good mood. Happy Friday!

I'm with jessecho - Fix me up some lyrics stew!

Hey - an opinion questions for everybody out there - do you think it would be worth to begin picking up the Friends DVD sets?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

I think so! I only have Season 5 right now, but I've been spending more and more time staring at the displays in Target. :)

Yea for jeans skirts - I'm wearing one too! Haven't quite broken out the sandals yet though. Can't ready my fashion sense for spring just yet - plus my toenails are chipped!

Can you believe I don't even get to see him today? I was going to drive to Dallas this afternoon, but some other circumstances are preventing me from going. :( *pouts*

But we kinda celebrated a little earlier this week, LOL. And we have birthday dinner plans for tomorrow night. Also, since I get paid today, I'll be able to get the other present I wanted to get him. ;)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry you don't get to see him! You can make up for it tomorrow, though. :)

oooh I <3 the lyrics polls!
I'm ready to do another one myself

Why should work equal boring clothes, as long as you look nice?

I completely agree. Although my work environment calls for more of a true business casual. I probably go too casual and not professional enough. It's a difficult line to draw some times.

I hope you have a good weekend.
