Straight from weather.com -->

* DANGEROUS BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AND WHITEOUT ARE EXPECTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH AND HEAVY SNOW WILL CAUSE ZERO VISIBILITY AND COULD CLOSE ROADS AND POSSIBLY PREVENT EMERGENCY SERVICES... ESPECIALLY TONIGHT.

I'm not liking the sound of this. Especially since I have to work a wedding from 1pm-6pm and then a holiday party from 5pm-midnight AND reset for an event on Monday. Oh boy. Let's hope the holiday party cancels. My life would be so much easier!

Good thing I live less than 2 miles away :)




(but still!!)

not again

Unfortunately I have yet again obtained a sore throat. This will likely turn into something more. Bummer! This is the second time in less than 2 months. Weird, considering I don't get more than a few colds a year, if that. I blame it on my attitude. Miss-crabby-pants needs to back off and just be calm, enjoy life and eat right and all will be well.

Yesterday morning I wasn't feeling well one bit. Gary was up early for homework (oh how I don't miss doing that :)) but I was up right with him due to some stomach pains. It was 6:22am. We went to bed at 1am? maybe 1:30am? Not good! It progressed a little more until I finally fell back asleep for another hour. After the nap it was smoooooooth sailing. It was such a nice relaxing day (as long as I kept myself fed!) I also drank like a fish which is always good. All and all it was a great day.

Before I go, I must report that today is Tuesday. That means biggest loser and parenthood. Let's hope the day doesn't end in disappointment like it did last week :)

Best day ever

Due to our lives not being completely figured out past May 2011, I occasionally (meaning all the time) look at various job sites. One of them is the LSM website. I get a little nervous, just hoping that something of interest will pop up. Today it happened...

I have very fond memories of this particular program. I was a student for three summers and to be honest, they were the best summers I have so far experienced. I had really fun friends and I came into my own while attending. I became less shy and figured out that yes, I love music, but that I had other hobbies that I needed to pursue (like the leadership positions I took on in college) Thankfully the program came back to Luther while I was working Summer Housing. The nostalgia just hasn't left since the program ended this past July. Oh and then of course this is where I met Gary too :)

Annnyway, the position that has opened up is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I'm sure that a lot of people will apply for the position but I sure hope I am qualified enough to make it through. I would absolutely LOVE to work with the national staff on a daily basis.

Now I just need to update my resume and cover letter :) Wish me luck.

SNOW!

I remember when I started this blog that there was a blog about snow. It wasn't the first but there certainly was a blog about snow. How strange that a whole year has gone by already. A lot has happened since then like getting engaged, living in Chicago, graduating, working non-stop, hardly working, reading....I'm starting to get really really excited to see what happens this next year. Marriage, moving, jobs....it's going to be exciting.

in other news, Gary and I bought our adorable invites the other day. I've gotten the proof and it's now in production! It took them a little longer to get the proof to us so they've upgraded our order to two-day shipping. SWEETTT.

secondly, i was still feeling really lost without my weekly episode of parenthood so i.......bought....the....first.....season. On dvd. :)

lastly, i got to babysit two of the cutest little cuties on wednesday and i will again tonight. it's strange because I haven't babysit in a long time but i feel like it's going to be really great for me. It'll get me out of the house for one. i still need to learn how to keep both occupied and having fun but i'm sure i'll get the hang of it.
