    1. What was the highlight of your week? Finishing this project in 10 minutes---seriously. I've been dreading working on for the last month.

    2. What's your greatest strength? I'm a pretty sharp cookie

    3. What's your biggest weakness? I'm too hypercritical of myself. I could get 99 awesome student evaluations, but ignore them to obsess over the 1 bad one.

    4. Do you like this cool, rainy weather? I LOVE it!

    5. Favorite thing(s) about fall? All things pumpkin, being chilly and then being able to curl up in a big blanket, football, mac and cheese for dinner like once a week!

    6. How many piercings do you have? Tattoos? I have 2 sets of ear holes. I haven't worn earrings in the second set in over 10 years but they never closed up :(

    7. Weekend plans? Drinks with coworkers tonight, then vegging on the couch with the aforementioned football, blanket, and mac and cheese for the rest of the weekend :)

  • 1. What was the highlight of your week?  I found out there is a position in my company that I can apply for in Australia for a two year assignment.  BF has been supportive so far and I am going to go for it.  We'll see what happens. 

    2. What's your greatest strength?  This week... it's been my patience. 

    3. What's your biggest weakness?  The inability to say no at times.

    4. Do you like this cool, rainy weather?  I LOVE it, and I can't believe I get to wear all the new scarves,hats and mittens I brought back from Scotland so soon.  I'm all about fall/winter fashion. 

    5. Favorite thing(s) about fall?  I'm most excited about Halloween right now and decorating with pumpkins.  I can't wait to tear up my garden, clean it up and plant some mums!! 

    6. How many piercings do you have? Tattoos?  None. 

    7. Weekend plans?  We are taking off work early today to go watch Horrible Bosses and then out to dinner with friends.  We're spending tomorrow with one of my girlfriends who's getting ready to head back to CA, so we're going to take  her to the best dim sum in town before she leaves.  We might play a little tennis too. 

  • 1. What was the highlight of your week? My math ed class. I really love that class and my teacher is amazing.

    2. What's your greatest strength? I'm a pretty good listener and I'm usually pretty patient.

    3. What's your biggest weakness? I doubt myself too much. It's annoying.

    4. Do you like this cool, rainy weather? Not a huge fan. I hate being cold and I'm not a fan of the rain when I have to walk around campus. I like the cold, rainy weather if all I have to do is sit inside under a nice warm blanket!

    5. Favorite thing(s) about fall? Football, colder weather clothes.

    6. How many piercings do you have? Tattoos? My ears and my left cartilage are pierced. No tattoos.

Sunday we are having lunch with my family for my Uncle's birthday.

  • 1. What was the highlight of your week? I've had a lot of fun things happen this week: I was named employee of the month essentially at my company (wish it came with a bonus or raise, lol); I realized that my photography (residential real estate) has made it on to a billboard in Norman, so I'm "published" now!; I was contacted for an amazing opportunity to do a days worth of photography for a company in Houston- they would fly me down there, pay for expenses, etc. It was just the little ego-boost that I needed.  :)2. What's your greatest strength? I'm the kind of person who "steps up" to challenges, a "get the job done" kind of person. And I usually try to do it with a good attitude while cracking a few, super corny, jokes. :)3. What's your biggest weakness? I am a huge daydreamer- it's hard to get me out of my own head at times. I don't allow for very many surprises in life because I try to control so much.4. Do you like this cool, rainy weather? Not really.... Can't take pictures in the rain.5. Favorite thing(s) about fall? Boot weather, sweater weather, apple cider, making soup or stew every night for dinner, fall foliage, family portrait season, etc.6. How many piercings do you have? Tattoos? My ears are pierced. I have 4 tattoos, two on each wrist; right wrist- an image of the Claddagh with the Latin phrase "ex amicitia vita" under it; left wrist- an Air Core (Air Force) insignia with wings and the French phrase "Dieu defend le droit" under it (it's our family motto on the crest). 7. Weekend plans? Zumba in a few. My little sister is coming in town so we're going to lunch then going dress shopping with a friend whose husband is returning from deployment next week (so she wants to look fab at the airport.) Then I might go buy a few new lenses and I think we are grilling out for dinner. Sunday is church, editing a TON of pictures and then an engagement shoot in Guthrie if the weather decides to improve.
