It's been a busy week/weekend!

Wednesday morning, I went into work at 5:00 am (to be there by 5:30 am) and worked until 1:30 pm so that my boss and I could get on the road to Columbus at a decent time. We left probably about 1:45 pm and made it to the hotel around 3:30 pm. I was so beat by the time we got there that I figured I'd take my bag up to my room and crash. Well, my boss wanted to check out the Convention Center and find out where the workshops were going to be held, so we did that. Afterward, I went back to my room with the intention of sleeping, but I guess I was too tired at that point because a nap didn't happen. So, I got my shoes on and went in search of some grub. Found a Subway in the food court, grabbed a sub and went back to the room.

Thursday night, Jessica came and rescued me after she got off work and we went over to David's Bridal and picked up one of my bridesmaids' dress. While we were there, we looked around at all of the dresses in the store and Jess decided to torment her boyfriend a little by sending him pictures, ha ha ha! After the dress perusing, we popped over to Easton and had dinner at Max & Erma's. It was my first time eating there and it was really good. I especially enjoyed their pickle chips!

I finished up my workshops on Friday and my boss and I headed back to Lima around 4:30/4:45 pm. Got back around 6:30, so we made pretty good time. It would have been a nice, relaxing "weekend" (Wednesday-Friday) had it not been for having to attend the workshops, ha ha! Actually, the workshops weren't bad. The 2 morning ones that I had scheduled were actually really good, but the 2 afternoon ones were a little boring to me. Overall, the Educational Conference was a good experience and I'm looking forward to attending again hopefully next year or the year after.

On Saturday, I attempted to donate plasma, but since I have fainted in the past after giving blood, the nurses thought it would be best to consult their doctor on Monday to see what he thought before they told me that I couldn't donate. So that was kind of a flop, but hopefully I find out that I can at least try to donate.

Today, I went to my cousin's daughter's baptism. It was a really nice service and I was glad to finally meet my little cousin, but it was so frigid today that Mom and I weren't able to stay long. I'm glad that we made it for the service and the party, though. :)

Not looking forward to Monday and work, but I guess it's going to come around again whether I like it or not. I just wish that the weeks didn't seem to drag by while the weekends fly by so fast!
