Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

As unproductive as today may have been, it's still been a good one. I have achieved the production of some software that raised my boss's eyebrows in appreciation and I felt like a proper contributing programmer - and to top it all off, tomorrow is my graduation ceremony! Spend months as a graduate looking for a job that pays peanuts? Not me sir!

As for princess moments, I've had my fill today and the more I prance about like a princess, the lighter I feel. On the way to work this morning, having done the usual morning routine (albeit a little later having decided to let the kids play and have a lie in with DH even if that meant being terribly late) I stuck on an Avril Lavigne album and sang along to the whole thing at the top of my lungs. You know what? It's cheesy, unrefined pop with little deep emotional meaning, but it was fun and I was smiling as I walked into work.

My productivity was mildly hampered by being a little distracted with getting rather excited about the weekend too and as DF was at home it turned out to be far more interesting to catch up... oops! Still, I did get the software finished and am embracing my life as a mushroom :)

I'll admit to a strange nervy excitement about the weekend - half looking forward too seeing people, half nervous about the whole thing. Box that up for later!!! It's been a good day and I'm looking forward to posting pics of me in a silly gown tomorrow!
