For Christmas Devin gave me a gift certificate to my favorite restaurant: Ixtapa. There was one problem with that…it’s in Washington. So of course the next gift was tickets to Seattle! We only went for a four days of which we spent most of our time eating food. This is my favorite food ever! Of…
Just a quick blip about the holidays. We spent Christmas Eve doing some baking. I made two of the Sal family traditional treats: pecan sandies and candy cane cookies. We also tried homemade marshmallows. Last year my VT-ing partner made some and they were delicious. Mine didn’t turn out like hers so maybe we will…
Last semester was not one of my favorites and that is probably an understatement. The goal: survive. Grades: pass just enough so it counts (in other words, no less than a C- in each class). Oddly enough things just seemed to work out. From the extreme curve on tests (often exceeding a 10% increase which…
Check it out! Yep, we up a moved a few weeks ago. I know it is really sudden and we really only started thinking about it about two weeks before but we thought, heck, why not? let’s ditch the dump we live in, lose the hole in the ceiling, and just go for it. Disclaimer:…
Life just happens sometimes. First there was school. Then there was finals. Then there was moving. Then there was Christmas. Then there was New Flop….I mean New Years. Then there was vacation. Then there was school. So coming are several posts of some of those and a few others in between…
…And Bob won! That’s right Survivor fans, Bob won. The oldest winner yet. He was definitely one of my favorites this season and I think that he deserved winning. Carrying on Yau Man’s tradition of the fake idol, Bob managed to dupe everyone not once, but twice! And for those who missed it, he also…
The rant: I just have to say, I’m tired of all these crazy women that seem to have surrounded me lately. There are a few different type but they basically all fall under the same category: annoying. The granola girl. During the past several semesters I have taken a few health classes. The classes were…
I’ve had my current laptop for about a year now and I thought I knew her pretty well. Yesterday I found out she’s been hiding a secret from me. Ok, maybe not hiding but she certainly didn’t tell me. She has a SD card reader! Since I started blogging I’ve either used a USB cable…
Every year, all the girls on Dave’s (Devin’s dad) side of the family get together for what they call "Girl’s Weekend" (GWE–yes I know weekend is one word but that is how they abbreviate it). It is usually the first weekend in December and all the girls get together to shop, do crafts, exchange gifts…
Over thanksgiving weekend, we decided it was time to put up the Christmas tree. To me, this was pure craziness. Growing up, our family would put up and decorate our tree a week or two before Christmas, not a whole month. I suppose it is a little different when you have a fake one and…
