Our first evening, we wandered over to Times Square, where we grabbed tickets to Hairspray 15 minutes before the show started, and booked it 10 blocks to the theatre.  Guess who was starring in the show???  O-Town's Ashley Parker Angel!

Hi!  I almost said "Hi, peeps!" in a KWood reference, but then I realized that most of you don't know who KWood is or what her slang is like, so I refrained and instead went into a run-on sentence about what I almost said.  Anyway.  I'm leaving in the morning for a weekend in New York...social work day @ the UN and some sightseeing...and maybe, ( Read more... )

What a fun day!  I don't actually work on Fridays-that is, I have no scheduled office hours.  However, today I had 3 meetings + lunch, and I ended up spending all afternoon in the office working on my resume and various things.  I also went to lunch with a candidate (and Todd and Mark); when I told Erica that we were well-behaved in front of the ( Read more... )

Hi!  I've been home in Michigan for the week, although it's been going very quickly and I can't believe that it's already Thursday.  That means...2 more days until Justin Timberlake!  3 more days until Amreia's bridal shower!  And 4 more days till I'm back in Chicago with only a couple of months until graduation!  Yikes!  I did finally buy a pair ( Read more... )

just fyi:

Thursday, 3/1-Sunday, 3/4:  OPE in Oshkosh, WI
Monday, 3/5-Monday, 3/12:  Spring break in Dearborn, MI

Have a great week! 

Michigan Friday-Sunday!  See you there! 

I had no idea that today was Fat Tuesday, that tomorrow was Ash Wednesday, or that Lent was approaching.  Without my burlap patch and Stations of the Cross (oh, St. Alphonsus), I'm lost.  So, I ask you...

What should I give up for Lent?

Please suggest.  Thanks.

Mmm, I make some great coffee!  I'm listening to NIN and eating my breakfast before a long day in the library.  It snowed again last night, but just light fluffiness that looked like fun in the sun.  I've realized that on sunny days, I cannot hate the winter, though maybe that just shows how I love the sun ( Read more... )

Mmm, coffee.  My stomach is finally feeling better, so I feel okay sipping some coffee and not worrying that it will make me sick.  How come my coffee tastes different than my mom's coffee, and everyone else's coffee tastes different too?  Weird.  I was up too late so I slept too late and now I haven't done anything and I still need to get to the ( Read more... )

I feel seriously yucky.  My head aches and I'm cold and today I've eaten teddy grahams, half a bowl of tomato soup, a cup of coffee and some water.  I was just sick a few weeks ago, this is totally not fair.  I'm just whining to everyone who will listen.  Ugh!
