I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I was so ready for the weekend by the time Friday came along and that’s probably what I’ll be saying for the next couple of months. Usually the last months of the year are crazy in HR because I have to manage benefits enrollment, performance reviews and all the while handle the usual daily stuff but all is good.
Anyway we had a lot of fun on Saturday because we went to the kick off concert for Austin Classical Guitar. The season started with a performance by Xuefei Yang, who was the first-ever guitarist in China to enter a music school, and became the first internationally recognized Chinese guitarist on the world stage. She was wonderful.
Not only did we listen to some beautiful Chinese traditional music but she also delighted the audience with works by Spanish composers and a beautiful flamenco piece.
Other than that, it was a lot of chores around the house but when I had some spare time I was busy reading and coloring. I have been doing quite a bit of coloring lately to wind down from the hectic days at work.
Anyway, I hope you have a great start of the week and let me know what you are looking forward to. I think we have a cold front headed our way – finally!
I am looking forward to waiting for the bus or walking between buildings in the COOL weather.
I also want to reread Margaret Atwood’s latest novel again.
I love looking at those colouring designs and of course the completed works, too. I think they’re great stress reliever, aren’t they? Hope you’ve a good week, Iliana. 🙂
It’s here! It’s here! The cold front has come! Very nice and cool this morning and I am so delighted! Enjoy it, Iliana!
It sounds like you had a nice weekend. You got to see Xuefei Yang! That’s awesome. I love classical guitar. You just had to say performance reviews, didn’t you? LOL I am behind on writing mine for my staff. There is so much to do this time of year. I’m in charge of the holiday schedule and it’s like putting together a giant puzzle, trying to accommodate vacation requests and make sure we have enough coverage. I hope you have a great week, Iliana!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! Things have been crazy here the past couple of months, but now we’re back in FL and hopefully we’ll get back into out routine soon. I even read a little bit over the weekend. Enjoy the cold front… don’t think it’ll get to us.
I love classical guitar! We are enjoying the cold front as well, thank goodness. Ooooh, those gorgeous colored pencils! Brand?
Oh classical guitar sounds wonderful! We have a cold front heading our way too and will be getting snow Friday night!
I’m ready for the weekend already and it’s only Wednesday! Yikes! It has been a couple of hectic weeks at work which really doesn’t help matters. It sounds like you are doing things to keep the stress at bay which is good! I love to color with my daughter- it’s so relaxing!
That sounds like a lovely concert!
The temperature overnight is dropping here rapidly too. First frost warning last night.
