Friday, Friday, Friday!

I don't really have a cohesive post today, just some fragmented thoughts about this week.

First off, I finally joined the technologically savvy world and got a Blackberry, although I am far from technologically savvy! It is certainly a learning process to get used to a smart phone after all of my years with the basic phone model. I still do not think I will ever be Twittering, but I do like to read all of your tweets on occasion.

Next is the economy. When is it going to get better? I still don't see any remarkable improvement here in Columbia, SC. Gas is expensive (for our area), jobs are scarce, and budget cuts still loom. Maybe I am just in the wrong field of work- higher education. I had my performance review at work and it went wonderfully. However, the University and the College I work for are facing huge cuts again this year, so there is no money in the budget for a raise. My boss said she'd love to give me one, but she just can't. I know that I can't really complain because at least I have a job, but it's hard when you are told you deserve a raise, but can't have one, and it doesn't look to improve any time soon.

Anyway, moving on. We have another wedding this weekend. I am still trying to decide what to wear. I am deciding between this polka dot dress:

**This was the closest picture I could find to showing the whole dress. This was taken at WEG's 30th birthday party, and clearly, I did not get a full shot of the dress in any of the pictures.

And this coraly-pink dress:

**Again, excuse the picture with my crazy friends in the background ;-). The dress has eyelet detail at the top. I obviously need to focus on taking pictures where you can see what I have on!

Also, I have a hot pink J.Crew dress that I can't find a picture of that is also in the running. It could really use being taken up a bit in the top, though, so I may hold off on that one until one of our May weddings.

The wedding is at 5:30, and I really have no clue as to the people invited to gauge what they might wear.

Finally, I'm still sending up prayers for Bayler, and I hope you will, too. I posted about this yesterday, so if you didn't get a chance to read, check it out.

I hope y'all have a great weekend!! Happy Friday :-)
