Well, we finally did it-- Adam and I bought another bird! After a year of waiting we finally decided it was time. Our new little friend is a Blue-Crowned Conure. If anyone has ever seen or heard of the movie "Paulie" with the parrot and the little girl, that's what kind of a bird we got!

Today was the first and only day since I've worked at Noble that I wore open-toed shoes. Today was also the first and only day that I've been run-over by a wheelchair, thereby crushing my foot ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel that I really am a terrible and selfish person at heart, and that I have to try really hard not to be so hateful. Adam assures me that this is not the case, because my entire life and profession is devoted to serving others, but I feel like I wasn't necessarily born that way.

I could see the baby move, he has hands and feet ( Read more... )

Wow, sorry for not posting, the life is way busy. Between training Max to wave and watching every single episode of SVU, what's a girl to do?? No, but seriously, we are a tiny bit busy. :) We're getting married less than 4 months! Also, Kortney (a girl I know from work) moved in for a while, but I'm not sure how long... and I started a recycling ( Read more... )

So, I just discovered that I'm probably going to have to take the GRE subject test for psychology, which sucks because i really wanted to be done with the GRE FOREVER after I finished the general test. But a couple of my top choice schools require it, and I figure it couldn't hurt me for the other schools. (Unless I fail.)So I should be able to ( Read more... )

I had a pretty good weekend despite working 6 days this week and being pretty exhausted. Melissa came over on Saturday night with Addie and we watched a movie. Also-- I think the cat's ou of the bag now so I can say it-- she's pregnant!!! Super exciting. Baby Mitchell #2 is on the way in about 32 weeks or so. (Not sure of the due date yet.)
