Well, I might have over-committed myself a tiny bit. I'm now going to school full time (six classes) and working at three different jobs. I have a neuropsych practicum, a graduate assistant position, and I'm decorating 10 wedding cakes a week in the month of october. So really, the rest of my time is actually spent doing my 300 pages of assigned ( Read more... )

I have been totally out of touch with the world as I know it. I spent a few days at the beach, a few days in the mountains near lake placid, and now I have a week to get my life in order so I can go back to school for the entire foreseeable future. I just wanted to wish a quick happy birthday to the best husband in the entire world. I just know ( Read more... )

This is my last full week at my job. I'll be here part time for the next few weeks and then I'll be using up my sick and vacation time. I am so ready to leave. My duties just increased from coordinating 11 studies to coordinating 13 studies, and I'm just about done here. I can't believe that after waiting three years to go back to school, it' ( Read more... )

I need eveyone's help. I figure that my incredibly smart, talented and creative group of friends can use their minds for my benefit. I've been designing and decorating wedding cakes for about 10 years, and I've always talked about doing it professionally. So J offered to help me set up a website and a business card and what not. And I think ( Read more... )

J and I just sold our car, so today I called to add him to my insurance policy on the remaining car. I asked how much of an increase it would be, and to my surprise, I was told that my payments would in fact decrease by about 30%. Does anyone understand why that would be? I know that part of it is due to a "marriage credit", but how the heck ( Read more... )

One of my best friends in the world is getting married this saturday,and I'm so excited for her. And this is my first time being in a wedding party that isn't my own or my dad's. That alone would be fun and a little stressful, but I'm also making the wedding cake. I've made plenty of wedding cakes before, just not for a wedding that I had to ( Read more... )

I just booked my first ever company sponsored business trip! I've been to a bunch of conferences before, both for myself and for others, but I've always had to pay my own way. Now I'm being flown to Miami to stay in a very nice hotel for two days so I can attend one meeting. I feel like such a grown up! And best of all, I get to take Jason with ( Read more... )

So the city is doing a fun summer thing where 37 restaurant have fun happy hours on Wednesday nights. There are great drink specials and free food and live music. I do love the city, and I'll miss it when I stop commuting in with J everyday. Anyway, I'm such a nerd that I started doing research on the website, comparing drink specials and ( Read more... )

So I was riding home on the train yesterday, and the train had just reached the second Philly stop. A few kids (17 or 18 years old) walked by, but a whole bunch of people were boarding and I was reading, so I didn't really register it. As they walked by, one palmed my trail pass from the little clip on the seat and kept walking. I didn't even ( Read more... )

Okay, for awhile I was not posting because I'm intimidated by technology and felt that I should be actually doing work at my job. But I think it's officially time to stop caring about my job. Yesterday we had "employee appreciation day". But the planners didn't actually remember to tell anyone. So I went with a few friends to grab lunch. After ( Read more... )
