"one of those days"

Lately its been so nice and warm down in Va and i can't complain! But with the warm weather...to quote my CAD professor...."the crazies come out." And its true. This thursday was
"one of those days" that anything and everything went wrong. I woke to an email from VCU about a shooting in a local park. Unfortunately that morning a VCU sculpture student was robbed and killed. I never met him but texted my friends to see if they did and unfortunately I had to tell my best guy friend Elliott about his friend Tyler. (please keep his family and his friends in your prayers).
So the day kept progressing...as more unbelievable events happened. There was a sniper on a local highway in the afternoon. And later my best friend Kiera was assaulted while running at a busy park in broad daylight! (and i was suppose to go with her that day but had class) It was ridiculous everything that happened...I walked around with the chills and extra care that day. It was a scary day and it at night ALL the street lights in Richmond were out! I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me ... it was "one of those days"

Happy Easther!

Even though VCU doesn't celebrate easter....we sure do! some good easter fun and dying. (surprisingly enough mason was creative...fit right in with us art kids)

mason became jackson pollack

we stuck to the pretty colors

mas (self proclaimed professioal egg dyer)

made this cute lil egg for me...ha adorable

oops (nothing my mom hasn't seen! ha bugger off

i love him)

be persistant

what I've learned the past 2 days is to be persistent...never take no or your wrong as an answer.
this lil epiphany came during our 30 day sprint trial and they came out with a new "green" phone. Now many might think why be so picky about the color of things....but just remember that I am an interior design and that's a huge part of it! To make a long story short...after 7 customer service reps, 4 calls and 2 hours later....I am getting my new green phone in the mail in 2 days!

plus my computer died again!(2nd time in a week) so i had to give my 2 sense to Dell too. And looky looky a new hard drive is on its way too!
So be picky, be pushy (yet nice) and don't give up


(PS the dell lady i talked to for an hour was great and so was sprint....they helped me and fixed my problem...thank you wherever you all are for a job well done!)

What I've been up to
