Might as well go for 3!

Since I'm not apologizing for lapses between posts, I'm also not going to apologize for their recent frequency.  ☺


You know that video I shared last night?  When I shared it, it had about 11.5 million views.  Now, it has about 38.5 million...and it was added 3 days ago!  Jaw-dropping, to say the least.  I realize there is opposition to this video and the plan it presents, as well as plenty of opinions and research for and against the concept and the organization (Invisible Children/Kony 2012).  That being said, I am SO impressed by the video, how well thought-out the plan is, and how thoroughly they present it all to the public...and in such a way that has led to its immense success.  Wow.


I picked up my glass fusion creation from Paint Yourself Silly today (my roommie and I went there to celebrate her birthday a few weeks ago).  Here it is:

I just glued white, then colored pieces of glass to the black base.  You all should try it - so fun!

Another thing - I tried an African restaurant here with a friend for lunch today.  He'd spent some time in Africa, and I'd helped make Estonian food once upon a time, so we wanted to try it out.  It was delicious!  You Lincolnites (and visitors!) should definitely try it (if you don't mind the sketchiness of North 27th, that is...).  It's called "African Food," and it's on 27th between Q and R.


One more thing - I'd just like to comment on how much more energy (and positive energy) I have during the day when I'm able to work out in the morning.  Can anyone else relate?


Happy Friday!

Amendments, update, reflection, and congrats! : )

Amendments to a couple previous posts:

-The “best April Fool’s prank I’ve been a part of” didn’t happen this year.

-Add the following to my list of tasks at Arts Incorporated:

• counting large amounts of cash
• mixing various types of candy to put in the candy dish
• visiting area middle and high schools to speak about various performing and volunteering opportunities 

In other news, I’m loving my YMCA membership!  I’ve made use the treadmills, ellipticals (or “lip pickles,” if you’re using talk-to-text), weight machines, pool, and have taken a variety of yoga-ish classes.  The Lincoln Y has four locations, three of which are very conveniently near my many job sites, and I can use all of them!  I have one thing left to do on my new member punch card, and then I get a free t-shirt!  : )  Speaking of working out, I saw a great quote on a friend’s Facebook: “I’m not sweating.  My fat cells are just crying.”

And now for a little reflection: Nearly one year ago, I graduated from college.  I can’t believe I’ve been in “the real real world” for a year – where did the time go?!  I know it all sounds very cliché, but I truly thought things would slow down after college.  As it turns out, the passing of time only accelerated, and I hear it doesn’t slow down from here on out.  So…guess I can’t say I haven’t been warned.  I've loved what life after college has held for me thus far, and am so excited to see what the future holds - bring it on!  : )

That’s all for now.  Hope you all survived the crazy hail/rain/lightning storm! 

Enjoy the weekend,

Kensy

P.S.  Congrats to all you graduates!  : )
