Haven't been posting much lately, so here's a recap ( Read more... )

I don't think I've posted since I got back to Marquette. Things are going relatively well, although I still haven't found a new job. I'm still working on my "normal" grad school applications, but I have applied and been accepted at NMU (the local university) to take classes as a "non-degree seeking graduate student". My parents have decreed that if ( Read more... )

Wow. Lots of sirens, firetrucks and ambulances. They've been doing some construction on the building my office is located in. A bunch of the scaffolding just collapsed. There's at least on guy hanging from a safety harness about 7 or 8 stories up. Apparently another guy was carted off in an ambulance; not sure, but it sounds like his harness might ( Read more... )

I've had a bad case of the mondays today. I actually made it to the bus at just the right time, no waiting in the cold or seeing it disappearing in the distance as I come around the corner. But of course, it's monday. The bus driver didn't know the route and missed a turn and instead of going around the block and getting back on route, she ( Read more... )

Well it's finally done. I handed in my resignation yesterday. My last day of work will be Friday October 31st. Sometime after that I will be moving back to Marquette. Nancy and Kevin actually took the news very well. At this point the person who is most upset about it is my father which is something I'm still trying to figure out.

So recently I've been threatening to go away and become a hermit because of proplems with my job. One of the primary things that has been stopping me, aside from my parents, is the economics of the venture ( Read more... )

I'm still trying to decide if it's been a good morning or a bad morning. On the good side, I actually got 8 hours of sleep last night. This is the first time that's happened in close to three weeks. On the bad side, the reason I got 8 hours of sleep was becuase my alarm didn't go off this morning. Without the alarm I woke up at 10:45 and got to ( Read more... )

Yay!I finally finished my last cross stitch project last night. It's a picuture of a row of quilts hanging on a laundry line in the breeze. I've been working on it since June of last year, so about 15-16 months. But in that time I've also completed two baby birth annoucements (one in June and one in August) as well as several smaller pieces (a ( Read more... )

Yay! I finished cutting out my new garb last night. It has a total of 15 pieces: 8 panels and 7 gores which will make it a really really full skirt. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get it done quick (like next monday) as I will be needing it on saturday September 20th for the Foxhunt in Foxvale. I think I've been recruited to work (either ( Read more... )

Yay! I started cutting out the pieces for my new cotehardie last night. I'm half done with the cutting (4 out of 8 pieces). Unfortunately I have to wait until next monday to cut out the rest, but once things are cut out I'll be able to take it home with me and sew it there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have workable garb before the Fox ( Read more... )
