Cold Continues

Lighting of the Lawn was a lot of anticipation and not a lot of lights. See above. Also a lot of cold and not enough socks to keep our feet warm. If my mom were here, she would have told me to wear heavier socks.Wow, we have no necks! Photo by Ed Warwick. If you were in our class, you would laugh.

What snow day?

So yesterday it snowed - alll day! But it did not stick and classes or work were not cancelled. This is why snow is a pain when you are adult. Or a twenty-something. It was just a cold, wet day for me. Notice my enthusiasm that I captured in the photo. The day was topped off with a take-home final that looks like it may take an entire semester to write! But I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we will be released into freedom on December 11th. Then I have NOTHING to do but go shopping(with all my $$$?), go CRUISING in the Caribbean and the last bits of wedding planning until mid-January! I ain't got no job, I ain't got **** to do!

Tonight is Lighting of the Lawn, a UVA tradition...not totally sure what to expect, but I will bring my camera. Also need to find a cute hostess gift to bring to Sarah's "after-party". This is another part of being grown up. When in college did I EVER bring anything to any of my friend's houses? My sparkling personality is no longer enough.

Just Some Bad Eggs

So as I was getting near the stopping point of writing my Curriculum paper tonight, I thought to myself, hmm...brownies would be great right now. And lo and behold, I actually had a brownie mix in my cabinet and I had all the ingredients! Until I looked at the eggs and saw the Best By: date. November 19. That's not too long ago, right? So I hop on google to make sure I will not get salmanila, ecoli, or something worse as I just discovered the uselessness of my health insurance. And I read about a test you can do to see if the eggs will float. If they stand up in the water, you have a bad egg, but if they lay on their side, you're golden. And what do you think happened? Of course, mine nearly defied gravity. So that means no brownies for me. That should be a sign, right? Like get back to work and stop eating! But instead, I am making banana-nut muffins that just require water. Fool proof. But let it be known that I could not successfully bake a potato for dinner. Good thing Billy knows his way around the kitchen! For now, at least I learned something about floating eggs.

5 months!

I can't believe it is December! That means FIVE months until the wedding! I went to the stationary store as soon as it opened this morning and I was very pleased with the results! Now comes the fun part of finding everyone's addresses! But that will be saved for a later date.

In the mean time I have 2 papers and 2 presentations to work on for next week. Almost 1/2 way finished with grad school!
