...and a fall, winter, spring, summer, and you get the idea. As a quick recap of my life I got the internship, left the internship, graduated, and am now working at Scott Byron & Co. in Lake Bluff and living in Evanston. Can you believe it?!? I hardly can, all grown up and making life decisions and paying bills. The real world is rather lame, but I ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about baking and cooking a lot recently. More than normal? I'm not sure...I'm normally thinking about baking something buttery and delicious or savory and delicious. Most of the time dessert comes to my mind first followed by a bread appetizer and then finally by dinner. Although, I've been trying to be like my sister, Anne, more ( Read more... )

So I purchased this ring online of a spectacularly gaudy lamb ring. Furbished with faux pearls and gold and I have just received it in the mail...behold it is broken!!!! I'm so upset, I have been waiting for this thing for a week. Now I have to find some superglue to reattach it before I can display it to the world. Eternal sadness. Even as I look ( Read more... )

Well it is a bright, sunny, warm, gorgeous, fantastic, beautiful day. This past week I have been fretting non-stop about a phone interview with Scott Byron, Inc. I was so nervous about having to talk to them, especially since Joey talked to them for over half an hour. What was I supposed to say to them for that long? I have no idea. However, Gary ( Read more... )

Well all that about studying during the snow day...yeah, not so much. I just couldn't do it. Somehow all my interest in the class took a serious nose dive and I was like screw it. Then I freaked out right before the quiz and couldn't remember anything and let's just say that hopefully that quiz will be a drop. A low down dirty drop! Anyway, we had ( Read more... )

Well I am now hanging out at Melissa's because Joey abandoned me. That's right, earlier today when we got the precious news of a Snow Day I was talking to Frank and was like, oh hey you and I should hang out. And he hemmed and hawed about going through the dangerous snow weather. What a weenie. Anyway, by the end of it he kind of agreed to hang out ( Read more... )

Well it's a bit of a winter wonderland out tonight. School was actually canceled. AWESOME. I was already out and about though because I thought we were still going to have our exam, but instead I detoured to studio and worked on my site construction homework. Yay for me.

Well I've worked a mere three days this break so far and they have given me all of new year's weekend and day off. To what do I owe this great kindness? Actually, the kiosk had its hours cut and thus I am reduced to some 16ish hours. The downside is that my paychecks are going to be amazingly paltry. This isn't exactly the right time for my funds ( Read more... )

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!! I do love Christmas and this year I had a pretty good handle on my Christmas shopping. I'm working to get some money to pay Joey back with, so hopefully I'll make enough this break. I already know what some of my gifts are, but some are still a mystery which makes it all the more exciting. So far this ( Read more... )
