It's a new day

You'll be happy to know that I am in a much better mood today. I was even feeling happy and energized this morning and that NEVER happens. The first part of my day that went well was that I actually left for work on time (well, very very close to on time anyway).

I spent my commute singing to the playlist "my favorite sing alongs" and was really enjoying my commute until I was stuck in traffic on the innerbelt bridge, about half way through my commute and I looked down only to find that my gas light was on. I had a bit of a panic attack because I had no idea when it came on or how much longer I had until I ran out of gas. I pushed my luck and drove it all the way to the street where I work. But lucky for me, I didn't run out of gas! And I paid under $4.00 a gallon. Who knew that one day you would consider $3.96/gallon a "bargain."

When I got to work, I started my Pandora music player and the first song randomly selected for me was Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel. Talk about my luck today! I received an email that a pair of shoes I ordered earlier in the week, were named the Editors Pick! I had a super productive day and when I left work, for the first time in what feels like forever, it wasn't raining!

When I got home, I got the mail to find that I had received the new pair of shoes I ordered online and they FIT! I also had a bachelorette party invitation for my favorite bride-to-be, Aubrey. And I was even excited for Pat when I saw that he got both his Sports Illustrated AND his ESPN magazine, both in the same day! The weather was still beautiful and I was able to take the Gradster for a nice long walk.

I cooked a yummy dinner (new recipe, too) and was listening to Jack Johnson En Concert, which I borrowed from my neighbor. It's his live album from the year we saw him in concert, the concert where we got engaged! Enjoyed a nice, cold beer with dinner and watched American Idol.

I hope you had a good Thursday, too!

Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project

I recently joined the group 20 Something Bloggers and stumbled across the blog below where Sandy is creating and releasing 1000 paper cranes with a different inspirational word on each one. She leaves them for others to find and to hopefully spread a bit of positive energy and "world peace" which is what cranes symbolize. She came up with this idea after reading "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes" by Elanor Coerr which is a book about a girl from Hiroshima who was diagnosed with cancer and wanted to fold 1000 cranes before she died but unfortunately only made it to 644. I was inspired when reading her blog and thought you might be interested in learning about it too! Sandy and the 1000 Paper Cranes: About The Project : "So why 1000 paper cranes? What started this all? After reading the true story of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Elanor Coerr, I was..."

Beware of Infections...

When I think of an infection, I think of something that needs a little neosporin and a band aid and then life goes on. When the doctors started talking about Mark's infection as something that is life-threatening, as you can imagine, I was shocked. He has stage IV cancer for god's sake, an infection is the least of his worries, right? Wrong. Turns out it's not uncommon for people going through this treatment to get these infections which can be fatal if it doesn't respond to antibiotics and continues to spread. So, going back to my blog about not worrying because it doesn't get you anywhere and it's a waste of time, yada yada yada - I have done very little of anything else besides worry during the past 36 hours or so. Even during the hour and a half last night watching the movie Amityville Horror I was worrying. Well, I guess I was worrying more about not peeing my pants, but you get the idea. I feel bad for the people around me when I get worried like this. I

First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!
