I'm Tired

One of the consequences of your life filling out in about as many areas as a person can have (Spiritual, Pleasure, Employment...um, there probably are more) is that there just aren't as many hours in the day as I need.

I have been running around so much lately. To School, to Bible Study, to Dance, to Church. I am tired, tired, tired.

It makes enjoying the fact that I have people and places in my life now a little bittersweet.

I am trying to have a good attitude about it though. I mean, this is what I wanted.

Anyways, it's 7:40 and I'm about to go to bed.

Nighty night.

Pictures for Profile

Big Hair

For the past few days I've been using a diffuser to blow dry my hair. This has resulted in really big hair. Which I love. I mean, it's tastefully big, but still very large and in charge.

This new big hair of mine has caused a male teacher to ask, "Hey, have you been doing something different to your hair the past few days?" Not wanting to reveal too many hair secrets to him, I cooly replied, "Ummm...uhhh...yeah, I've been using this new.....thing." He volleyed back with, "Well, it's a good thing."

What! What! Little Rachel is involved in interoffice(campus?) shenanigans?!? Not really, but it is nice to be noticed. Wouldn't you agree?

Todabor Day is Labor Day

Well, not really, but practically everytime I hear the words Labor Day, I think of the Homestarrunner cartoon where he sings a song with the above title. So, yeah.

Anyways, for Labor Day I'm going shopping with my mom, and I'm getting a massage in the afternoon, because I got a certificate for a massage for my birthday. Then me and my family will probably grill out on our new grill and go swimming. Maybe I'll take some pictures and post 'em. Happy Labor Day to me.

I hope you all out there have a restful weekend and get to spend time with people you love.

And a 5-6-7-8

These are some pictures from my dance competition last weekend. It was more of a mock competition, but it was still fun. I had humongous false eyelashes, dance costumes and a good time. Yay dancing! Here is a picture of me and my teacher doing a Samba.
This is the beginning pose to another Samba I did with another teacher.
This is me getting ready to do a Tango with a friend of mine from the studio.
More of the same pose for the Samba.
