Pampering is oh so nice

Well, this weekend wasn't that bad at all. Now, I did miss Michael a lot, but it was nice to have some "me " time and definitely to catch up on some studying. so, the massage was great. It was very relaxing and it felt really good to have her work on my shoulders and neck, which is where i keep most of my stress. Also, the pedicure/manicure was great. I got a nice red on my toes and a french manicure. how cute is that?

The rest of the weekend was pretty good also. I got dinner with mom and dad on Friday night, which was a lot of fun. we met at the galleria and had dinner at cafe de lux. the galleria was packed even on friday night. it was a lot of fun to catch up with them. i spend most of saturday pampering myself, which was great. i spent most of sunday studying and cleaning house. It was a very relaxing, stress free weekend, which was great.

well, back to the grind today. michael gets home soon. From what he said, it sounds like mary's wedding and reception were great. He didnt get to go camping since the canyon was closed due to bad weather, but it sounds like he had a great time catching up on some family time.

Well, i have class tonight and i am hoping that we get our paper back so i can see how i am doing before my midterm next week. also, I had a meeting with a professor last week and it seems we have very similar interests. She said that maybe we can revamp her master's thesis and publish it together. She did a program evaluation on a sexual assault prevention program on a college campus. She said it was a very amateur paper, so hopefully we can make it better together. Also, there is a new sexual assault response and prevention program being started at UTA, so I am hoping to become more involved in that in the hopes that it will lead to my dissertation. I have already spoken with the director of that program (who is also a PhD) and she said she would love to collaborate. I might even ask her to be on my dissertation committee since you have to have someone from outside the school of social work also. Anyway, things seem to be falling into place. I know I am adding more work on myself early in the game, but i think it will pay off in the future if i can get things set up now. well, i am off. have a great week, everyone.
