The weather in Saint Cloud has been absolutely gorgeous lately. Unfortunately, I've been stuck inside, unable to enjoy it. While my friends scampered off to the beach, I sullenly dressed for the wedding I worked this weekend. Nine hours of making sure the bride and groom were completely happy. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy working weddings, especially this summer as I am able to check out ideas and suggest them to my sister.
Like I said, I have not been able to enjoy the beautiful weather. Finally, today, my friend Alyssa invited me to her cabin. Wouldn't you know that it started sprinkling just as we were about to take off. We reconsidered our options, and instead decided to go a movie in St. Cloud. When I got back, I went for a long run in the pouring rain. It was the best reminder of Ireland I've had yet. I'm sure I looked like a crazy person to the locals of St. Joe. So here's to enjoying the crappiest day we've had in the last two weeks!

Wild Goose Chase
I don't know if anyone still reads this anymore, but I thought it might be nice for those of you who live far away and don't get to see my beautiful face everyday to continue to read about my now-less-than-interesting life back in Minnesota.
Today was my second day of work. Work has started well so far--I remember more than I thought I would, although I can tell this summer will be just as stressful as previous summers. My first three events were planned for me, however, since I was gone. Because of this, I've been helping my co-workers and bosses with random jobs to fill my work hours.
I typically split up my work day by working as much as I can in the morning. Then, when I get too hungry to stand it, or my stomach is growling loud enough for everyone in the office to hear, I head over to lunch, hoping that the few hours I will have left go quickly. On this particularly afternoon, I came back from lunch at 1:00. We have a big group coming to campus this weekend so my mission was to put up signs for my friend, Tina. Wouldn't you know that I had to put the signs on sandwich boards, which were, of course, missing. I then spent the next 2 hours of my afternoon trying to locate said sandwich boards. We never found them.
