I realized today that I have a disdain for people that don't dress up for special occasions. We decided to take Mini-me to an Easter egg hunt today. When I was growing up, Easter events and other special occasions meant that everyone dressed in their Sunday best. It was one of the few times we got to dress in a nice dress and get pretty dress shoes.
I have to admit that I enjoyed those times because I didn't get new things very often. When we went to the egg hunt today, not only was Mini-me one of two kids I saw dressed (in what I consider) nicely, I was the ONLY female there that was in a skirt. I realized afterwards that this really bugged me. I believe that when it is a special occasion, you should take the opportunity to allow yourself to dress your best. Maybe it's old fashioned, but it's something that I will be teaching my little one.
Could it be that I'm developing a sense of propriety for certain occasions? O.o

Yay new updates!
I realize I haven't written much lately. And it's not because I've been crazy busy like I was most of the last half of last year. Since I had my surgery, I've found myself actively avoiding the internet and the computer all together. There for a while, I was pretty much only answering texts and messages from a select few people. Someone said it was because my priorities had changed. I don't believe this to be the case. What was happening was that I wanted a more personal "touch" from those around me. I wanted the physical and when that wasn't to be had, the vocal. I wanted to FEEL those around me, not just see their messages scroll across whatever screen I was looking at.
Recently, I've been able to get a bit of what I need and it has helped. I'm not entirely back yet, but I'm working on it. I still have a great need for some energy work and more physical touch, but at least I'm not as bad off as I was a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully the coming months will be even better.
On a completely different topic, I'm going to be taking Tai Chi. I'm starting it off with Qi Gong, will move into Tai Gong and then eventually Tai Chi. I'm looking very forward to this because it's something I've wanted to do for a long time and will help me work on learning how to do more with my personal energy. I've thought about it for a bit and the more I've thought about it, the more right it's felt. I sincerely hope it works out.
And about school: I'm partway into my last class and it's going well. I should be graduating in May/June. More information to come as I get it. I've also made my decision about which school I'm going to for my BA and now I just have to get everything together to put in my application. I so can't wait to be done with school. *falls over*
Other than that, I'm working my tail off as usual at work. I'm going to be asking what it takes to get a promotion when they do our annual reviews, which should hopefully be sometime within the next three weeks. Wish me luck!
