So...I had this past weekend off and I decided to cook on Sunday.  We had a friend over and I made a roast, veggies, and this awesome blueberry pound cake I just found the recipe for in one of my books.  The cake turned out to be *really* tasty, and when I cleaned up after the meal I put it into two big ziploc bags.  The next morning, Ken wakes me ( Read more... )

Yay, finally the weekend!! I don't think I'd be quite so excited if not for the fact that I worked the last two weekends in a row. Granted, this past Sunday I wound up not having to go in, but I didn't know that until about 1:00, which is too late to plan on doing anything anyhow. It did let me get some laundry and other assorted cleaning done ( Read more... )

Ever just sat around and thought about what you'd do differently if you could do it all over again?  I'm just having one of those types of nights.  Given the chance, I don't know that I would actually do anything and risk my life getting all Butterfly Effect-y, but I doubt I could resist leaving everything be.  ::sigh:: Shouldn't I be a little bit ( Read more... )

I know, I know....I haven't posted in forever.  A lot of stuff happened all at once, and then I just got out of the habit of posting.  So, here's a brief recap of what's happened since my last posts ( Read more... )

So, as you can tell from the subject, I'm |----| this much closer to finding a place to live. I've talked to 3 people about renting a house, and one of them sounds very promising. It's in Crestline Gardens, and it sounds like a *great* area. I mean, I asked if I could set up a time to look at it and he said "Oh, I just leave it open. It's easier ( Read more... )

Wow, I'm bored. I'm the only person in the apartment that's awake, and I've been up for a little over an hour. Damn this getting used to waking up early thing ( Read more... )

Sleepy....must pack for trip to Auburn this weekend ( Read more... )

I'm thinking that maybe I overreacted about work a teeny bit yesterday due to sheer exhaustion. Or maybe I was just frustrated because I felt like I wasn't doing anything. Either way, today was better. Still not exciting, but better. I got to run solids, viscosities, adhesion tests (not as glamourous as it sounds.....we scratch the coating on ( Read more... )

Holy crap, I'm tired. This getting up at 4:30 thing has *got* to stop. Never in my life did I think that I would fall asleep on the couch at 7:30. It almost makes me look forward to second shift. But, aside from being tired, things are going well. Still getting along with everyone, and I'm learning more stuff too. Sadly, I have discovered that ( Read more... )

Today was good. So good, in fact, that it totally made up for yesterday. I got to work early this morning, so the first thing I did was go hang out in the lab with Rick, a supervisor and a fellow Auburn fan (one of the few!). He gave me my calculator, paint can opener, pens, lab coat, safety goggles, and bright orange ball cap. Yes, I get stuck ( Read more... )
