So I started grad school at University of Northern Colorado a few weeks ago. I am working on a Master of Public Health degree. I wasn't going to post about it until I was officially accepted, but classes started 3 weeks ago and I still haven't been officially accepted. (They have rolling admissions.

So I made these chocolate chip cookies, like, around Christmas. There were about 6 that didn't get eaten before they went stale. They had been sitting on a plate in the kitchen ever since, because I always thought I'd use them for something. They never got moldy or anything, thus they became the "Undead Cookies."

We got a new dog!... sorta. I applied to be a foster home for Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado, and we got our first foster dog last night. He's a Dalmatian/Shar-pei mix named Cooper. I've never owned a Dalmatian before, but I did want to be a foster home and Dal Rescue is right in Fort Collins so it was easy to get on board. Peter and I had ( Read more... )

The Steelers are coming to Denver!!! I rarely can sit through an entire televised football game, but I was glued to my seat for that one!

And a player that awesome ( Read more... )
