Food, General

Food Blog

Hello! I figured it would be weird to have food recipes on my personal blog where it jumps from my crying streaks to pretzels. You can find it here! // [7/13/2015 – updated link to new website since renovation!]

Anyway, today is my last day up in Hazleton. I  have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow and work this weekend. I haven’t been there in a while, but I’m ready for my income I suppose. This is tough. There’s not much of an update here. I’ve been cooking a lot, nothing new to report on. Matt started his urology rotation so I don’t see him as often now. Oh well. Sacrifices for his career. It’s only a month.

I started playing Age of Empires III again. I might start up another game. Let’s go!

Friends, General, Home

Surprise

So yesterday after work, I was able to have Amy help me with a Craigslist item. I am now the proud owner of a LoveSac Supersac. Be jealous- it’s bigger than your small car.

I’ve been working a wonky full time schedule lately. Ups and downs, but bearing it. I was up in NYC but didn’t get to meet up with Adrian due to location and our circumstances; I’m working on going back up some time so we can hang for real. I haven’t seen him in over a year! Last time was actually back in London. Wow.

On a second note, I have not heard back from Matt which I’m really bummed about. We used to be pretty close and he said he’d let me know when he was back and nothing yet. He’s working too, but who knows.

On the up hand. Despite the stupid drama I made for myself at home, I had the best moment at work. I had sent Dave an email about something I found a little bit ago, and we haven’t spoken in just over 2 weeks (new record on top of breaking our 4 month trend this month). I know he’s crazy busy doing boards and such so I try not to bother him. At lunch I checked my email. Dave. He replied to what I had sent and then added at the end,

Miss you

Ok, so I know that doesn’t seem like much. Two words, and it’s not even like it’s the first time saying I love you or anything, but for me (us), this is huge. For the type of relationship we have, I see him 3 times a year (if I’m lucky, 4) and we “talk” (which is more either one email and reply or a literal couple of texts) every 2 weeks. That’s not a whole lot, but to miss something there- that’s monumental. Plus, for the first time in my life, I feel special.

But those are the key words here. He added a line after which would translate as “I hope you’re doing well” to any other couple, but you know how we nerds love to play with words.  I thought it was particularly cute. I’d post the whole email here but I kind of want to keep it to myself right now. I could not stop smiling at lunch though, and I keep smiling now as I think about it. The weirdest thing though, as I’m laying here in bed writing this, I can smell his cologne.

I can’t decide if I’m supposed to be a trooper and wait out until June when he comes back or see if a visit is welcome when I’m out in Pitt. Not sure which is more endearing since I know he has things to do- but I can’t tell if

At the end of the day, I am the happiest girl in the world.

School

Getting There

I always find it hard to take a picture of a bruise because it never looks as bad I it does in person. If you see this, it is the result of stealing 15 rolls of toilet paper from school.

On a lighter note, I thing I was successful in co-hosting the Greek Games today. I must say, I’m kind of proud of the glitter-filled water balloons. Free food is always nice too.

Things are getting mad crazy around here though. A lot of class things going on, but on top of that, I need to learn my recital piece (which is much more ugly than anticipated).  I’m looking for a more long term break. I just need some time. Time to breathe.

My mom called yesterday because we finally got an invite for this wedding we all knew about. It is being held the weekend before finals. This is a very important event- I have known this kid and his family since birth (this kid’s mom set up my parents!) but at the same time, I will need all the study time I can get. The wedding deal is a whole day affair, you know?

I hate to think that majority of my life has moved around school (and now that I have this job, I will have less time to dilly dally and will be super lame. Yes, there is the point where I’m supposed to grow up and take on my responsibilities, but at the same time, I partially envy those who aren’t taking life seriously; I’d love to not have to do anything with my life [/sarc](kind of not really).

Home, Winter

On Schedule

You complete me.

I finished working my hours today (all 80 hours) and I left for Erie 🙂

I’m sitting here watching Archer with the kid. There’s some food and festivities and I don’t wanna go home.

Please let me stay…please.
