Wow, three week lag in updating. Oh well. Spent the St. Patricks day parade weekend with the fam. My stepmom had the weekend off, so they drove up from Michigan. I love them to death, but all four of them at once is exhausting. My little brother and sister are 10 and 15, respectively, so they fight. all. the. time. Plus, my brother who used ( Read more... )

Oh. my. god. Kat came over to eat Thai and watch Project Runway. The food was sooo spicy but delicious - I heard this place, Jitlada Thai, was great - and it totally is. The reunion episode was hi-lairious. Then....Project Jay!!! I really love Jay McCaroll - the special was also great. I am so content with life right now ( Read more... )

A week later, the V-Day lineup ended up as:
( A few days late )

I would love to send Valentines to everyone, but I always find myself ridiculously busy this time of year. One tradition I have been able to keep is my "V-Day for Singles Mix." This is not the typical angsty, love-sucks, angry-rock mix...though some of that is usually included. I like to include fun songs or even songs that are just plain dirty ( Read more... )

Oof so full. Just finised watching the opening ceremonies of the olympic games w/Leslie, Felicia and Megan. It was awesome. Taco dip, hummus, cheese, men with flaming helmets on skates...awesome. Highlights: Flaming people, beating hearts, the phrase "speeding white sausage," and girls in alpine skirts. Had just enough wine to make me sleepy ( Read more... )

I just rode in the nicest cab - and my cabbie was also way pleasant ( Read more... )

My couch and bed FINALLY showed up yesterday. The couch almost didn't make it through the door, as I live in an L-shaped corner, which begs the question - what would have happened if it didn't fit? would they have left it outside? Hm. I have an IKEA memory foam mattress, which I like so far (though I think I might throw an egg crate on it), but ( Read more... )

Sooo...I can't seem to do anything really productive today. I did an interview and talked to a possible professor - I'll need to work on my course materials this weekend like woah. My thoughts just won't stay in one place long enough to focus on a single task that requires concentration ( Read more... )

I made it! I'm in Chicago at the office. Technically, I'm not working (full-time) yet, but it's easier to get work done when I'm here in the office. Plus, I have a desk here. I have no furniture in my apartment. My parents are getting me an IKEA bed and sofa as a graduation present, but it has to be ordered from the national warehouse, since ( Read more... )

So that's it. Four and a half years at Baylor culminated into an early morning, a walk across a stage and an IOU in my diploma tube. (They have to affix the Honors seal on it - I should get it in "3-4 weeks." Here's hoping.) Interim President Underwood gave a very uplifting (for me) speech. He spoke about the direction of Christian education ( Read more... )
