Well, life goes on as normal here. I joined a gym because the PT exercises I was doing at home are not cutting it. They gave me a good deal on some personal training sessions and I don't want to hurt myself so I took them up on it (them being xsport fitness). I met with her this morning; her name is ashley and she's going to chiropractic school. ( Read more... )

one thing i never expected was the effect the cold is having on my back! you would think that the metal being in my body would mean it stayed warm, but that is definitely not the case. it gets so cold some mornings walking to the train that i can feel it. aaaa! hehe, but hey it's better than a wheelchair i suppose ( Read more... )

yes, i am still alive. doing really well, actually. work is going swimmingly, i found out last week that i am getting transitioned to a permanent hire from my current temp status. i am also going to be allowed to transfer to the downtown office at the beginning of next month. good news because instead of a 30-one hour drive (one-way!!! with a toll ( Read more... )

 wooooo!!! my siblings come from vegas today!!!!!!!!

i just got up after having a really bizarre dream that is pretty much recurring in different forms in my life; i was forced to go back to high school after finishing college, and i didn't understand my schedule at all, so i was just kind of hanging out. i have lots of phone calls to make today, ( Read more... )

 well, my hopes about coming back to chicago with a job were answered!! while we were stopped at a casino in missouri I got a phone call about the student advisor job at Colorado Tech. ( i did gamble at the casino, but only 13 dollars, so don't worry, i wasn't being irresponsible with the little money I have).  I start July 13! Sadly they couldn't ( Read more... )

 well, kansas is fun, but hot. like the rest of the country right now i imagine. it was a sticky 105 yesterday, the perfect weather to be wandering around the praprie with a newborn in--not!! however, the only time we have been spending outside with the baby is walking to and from the car.

 I am going to write down a recipe before i forget it, and you should all try it because it is DE-LISH!

yummy carrot salad

so this morning i found some carrots in my fridge that only had a few days left in them and decided to get a little crazy. i cut the carrots into chunks, about 1/4 inch, and boiled them for about two minutes, just long enough to ( Read more... )

 well, i have a job interview wednesday! i'd be making $17.50 an hour as an admissions assistant for an online university. it's a full time position with a 30-40 minute commute (one way), but that's an awesome hourly rate and i'd have the chance for overtime. i'm really excited about it. the university is american intercontinental university. i'd ( Read more... )

 The problem with LiveJournal:
We all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

so this has been a long time coming. it isn't for a class or anything, just me trying my hand at a nonfiction piece on my own. comments appreciated, especially about the order of the three sections.
