Not Complaining

I haven't posted since Tuesday and for that I am sorry. But since I barely worked last week I wasn't making much money, which means I couldn't afford to do anything but sit around my apartment, which means I've had absolutely nothing interesting to write about, unless you wanted to …

Tuesday Tunes: Coachella Calling

Anyone want to sponsor my flight (or gas), tickets and hotel cost for me to go to this in April? I'm collecting donations now. Coachella in California here I come! I've never been out West- I think I'll make a whole road trip out of this...
Yeah right. Dare to dream Shannon....

Are You Linked In?

I recently created a linkedin profile. I wasn't quite sure what the point of it was or how to use it and while I'm still figuring it out I do know that it has something to do with making professional connections. My hope is that it will help me link up with some potential employers... finge…

Hodgepodge-Couch Bed

Happy Wednesday Hodgepodge. Time to talk about myself, since I never do that on this blog...Head on over to my mom's blog and join in as well!
1. Do you like your name? Yes. Very much. I also like that I don't have any friends with the same name, it makes it more special. When I was in kin…

Verse 2

Today I selected and posted my second verse for Living Proof Ministry's 2011 Siesta Scripture Memory Challenge. Here it is!
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Chri…

Apparently I'm a Taurus

Apparently these are the new dates: Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb.16 Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11 Pisces: March 11- April 18 Aries…

A Few Fun Things

I haven't blogged in a while because I've been busy slipping and sliding around town in the snow. Plus I feel like every blogger in the South wrote about the "snowmaggedon" so I didn't think I had anything new to contribute. Here are a few fun things that I would like to shar…

Brace Yourself

I have been closely watching the radar and the onimous icy blue wave that's coming our way. 60 nearby schools have already called it quits. The grocery store looks like a bomb went off and took all the water, and bread with it. We've bought some firewood and brought out the blankets and fla…

My Boyfriend's Back

Hey la, hey la my boyfriend's back!
That's right! I picked up my honey from the train station at the god awful time of 5 am this morning. He offered to take a taxi but I have a thing for reunions. So I went to bed early-ish last night, woke up earlier than I have since I graduated, put on ma…

Pink & Green

Two posts in one day? Forgive me. But I couldn't resist linking up over at Pink Preppy Lilly Lover for Pink & Green Thursday. Especially after I saw these images of gorgeous and romantic paper products.... {sources: minted, stylemepretty, theknot}

Dinner Last Night

I was craving PW's Sesame Noodles last night so I made them and I made and an Asian Cabbage Salad to go along with them. I made the full recipe for the salad dressing and the noodle sauce so I could save them for later meals (they make a lot!)
Here's the recipe for this yummy salad:
Cabbage. …

Auld Lang Hodgepodge

The first Hodgepodge of the New Year!
1. What 3 words would you use to describe 2010? What. Happens. Next
2. If fear were not an issue what is something you'd like to try? Definitely skydiving. I also always feel the adventurous streak when I read things in National geographic like "the worl&…

Stare Down

I slept in until 11. Then I laid in bed and watched Say Yes to the Dress for a little. Then I felt really lazy and hungry.
So I dragged my but out of bed with a craving for Five Guys, got my swimsuit out of the bottom of my closet, laid it on my bed and stared at it....
It was a test of wills. I co…

My target spots: My pantry (this one is the scariest)My fridge.The magazine basket by my couch.My laundry basket-I want it allll done!My desk as well as the drawers underneath it and the cute little stool …

The challenge is to select 24 verses, two a month, that mean something to…
