1. I guess starting Ten on Tuesday was a good idea because that guarantees at least one post a week! Woot.
2. I did my first run with Darrell yesterday, 2.9 miles. Gotta start training for that half-marathon!
3. After a year, I finally went to my first jazz dance class! It feels so good...and I intend to keep it up :)
4. I never separated my colors and whites when doing laundry, unless something was really white or there was a new clothing item that leaked color. Hence, I still don't have the habit now...
5. First day of babysitting today. Poor 6-month-old is not used to being away from dad and cried at least 2/3 of the times I was there. Fortunately, she was not crying when her dad came back home!
6. I am really sleepy.
7. Opening Day is this Thursday! This year marks the first year I am starting out as a San Francisco Giants fan. That's more because of the 2+ years of dating Darrell than the fact that they won the World Series...but that's pretty dang awesome too.
8. Allergies appear to be kicking in again. Shucks.
10. Is ten a lot? Maybe I should cut it to Five on Tuesdays, but it doesn't have the same ring. Or I could just scratch it to Five on Fridays I guess.

Ten on Tuesday
Once upon a time I was blog-surfing and saw someone write a "Ten on Tuesday" post. I don't know who started it, but I do remember thinking, "What a great idea!" Unfortunately, I had no active blog at that time, so I had no reason to write a Ten on Tuesday post. But now I do, and I'm looking for ways to get myself writing again (I like to think that years down the road, I'll read this and think I'm so glad I wrote that down! That, or I'll be horribly embarrassed, much like my reaction from reading my high school blogs. Ugh. End really long parenthetical statement now.).
So here goes my first edition of Ten random things in Audrey's life on a Tuesday:
1. I woke up kinda sick this morning and almost didn't go to work, but I did anyway. I may take a long, long nap this afternoon. This is a bad week to get sick because I'm hanging out with like five different people and I want to see them all!
2. I spent my morning at work making a picture slideshow. Sometimes I chuckle when my tasks at work are related to what I enjoy doing in real life. It's fun.
3. Kelli is leaving tomorrow and that makes me sad. I feel like she should just stay here.
4. Kelli, Linda, Jane, and Shannon came over for dinner last night for a mini gals-from-GUT-who-are-in-Stocktown reunion. There were many, many laughs and I distinctly remember thinking, Life is good. Right now.
5. Speaking of good life, the sunny weather is making me miss Sunken Field Saturdays (not that we ever called it that) during Sophomore year. Probably some of the best days of my life...
6. The roommate Natalie is finally back in town--Hooray, hooray! We have much catching up to do.
7. I've been looking forward to going to jazz dance for two weeks but I skipped it to sleep.
8. I'm going to start babysitting. Hooray for increased income!
9. Lauren and I are talking about putting together emergency supplies for our house (Yes, in light of the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami). This is a hard conversation to have...because really, no one knows what will happen. And you can only prepare for so much. And if the house collapses and we can't get to our supplies anyway? And part of me is like, "Eep, I don't know if I can pull out the money to invest in that.", but no one wants to regret that later on.
10. On a lighter note, Darrell worked a half day today so I saw him for a couple hours in the middle of the afternoon. That was nice :)

Fancy looking emails.
I've been using Zenfolio for almost a year and a half now, and I love it! It's probably the best non-camera thing I've ever invested in for photography. However, in all my busyness I tend not to pay attention to all the options that are available (multiple pages, soundtracks, etc.). Today I just discovered something that is making me quite delighted: I can send fancy, pretty-looking emails from my account! I always thought sending a text file with the link seemed so...un-epic. Well, those days are over.
This may be perfect timing, since I may be about to do my first shoot for a non-friend of mine...
Happy Friday!

Transition
I'm in the middle of, well, seemingly everything and nothing right now. No longer a college student, not quite a staff worker. Working part time. Not a small group member, but not quite the leader either. Friends with old alumni and with juniors but no one quite my age. Paying for rent, about to start paying for cell, not yet paying for car and loans. But it's coming.
