I don't imagine anyone reads this anymore. Oh well, that's what happens when no one updates their blogs on a regular or even semi-regular basis. Still working on the bathroom renovation. First draft of my thesis proposal has been turned in for over a week now. I just want to enjoy some bit of my summer with some sort of relaxation but don't know if that's in the cards for this year or not.

Well, maybe I should start blogging more often. Seeing how it's been over a year since my last blog. A lot can change in a year, and a lot has definitely changed in mine. New focuses on school, things getting done at home (renovation wise), and a now not so new relationship. Plus my Stiggy who I don't think has grown taller in the last year.

It was brought to my attention that I haven't blogged since late last year...whoops.Well...Stig is now 28.5" tall...booyah.Carl you need to give me topics because otherwise i have nothing else to say. I don't think anyone even reads this.

Was able to get three other people to go out with me to BJ's after seminar yesterday. All I wanted was a drink which I had been feeling like needing one for awhile. So I got a berry cider, and Kevin got some sort of beer, and then we got appetizers. After finishing the food I brought out my laptop (not going to leave it in the car) to show her some photo booth pictures that I had taken with

Well what is going on with my life? My old computer died, had to buy a new one. My credit card is crying. Finally done with field trips in marine ecology. Just have to work on the three lab write ups. Need to get them done asap so I don't have to worry about finishing them in December. Almost finished with one and started another.My brother is coming to visit next week for Thanksgiving. We

Flooring is officially done in three rooms now! Halfway done with the wood flooring (two bedrooms and the dining room left). Hallway now has a new light (yay) and popcorn is all off the ceiling and the new texture has been sprayed on.My mother has made me two floor pillows so now more people can come over and not sit on the actual floor.

Why is it that when it seems things are finally going my way I get a cannon ball to the chest and just feel defeated...sigh. Last week I reached the point where I wanted to curl up and cry and be drunk. Of course I didn't do either because I knew drinking really wouldn't have made me feel better.It would be nice if something actually went according to plan for once. Alas that is not meant for

So it's odd having a puppy again. He's a vicious little monster first thing in the morning and at night. I am now sporting a bandaid from where he gave me a nice slice from a canine this morning. He got his first bath last week and as you can tell by the picture he did not enjoy it. He does love his peanut butter.A trip to Petsmart was in order. He is now the proud owner of a puppy teething

So this is the surprise I was alluding to earlier. Right now he has no name I need a few more days with him to know for sure. He's three months old and has gotten really playful in the last few hours. Guess he needed a short adjustment to his new home first.

Wow, I should really update this more often, but I feel like I have nothing important to say. I guess I could just write about my day, but that could be boring on some days.My bathroom shower is almost done! I'm sealing the grout tomorrow so I should be able to take a shower next week. So very excited about that.I have exciting things happening next week, but I'll share my big news later.

Went to the Angels Red Sox game yesterday and had lots of fun. Had a group of ten people (mostly biologists!) who went. Sat four rows from the top in the second to worst seats. They really weren't that bad. Good crowd of fans, lot more Boston fans than I expected to see. No animosity between fans that I saw (guess Angels fans are just a bit more grown up than Dodgers fans).At least both

Unfortunately the time has come for me to say goodbye to my beloved little dog Rascal. He died this morning (just two weeks after Goofy died).He went downhill pretty quickly, since Friday. I thought it was the change in temperature that was slowing him down, but he never recovered to his old-self. This weekend I hung out with just him trying to make him comfortable so that he could be somewhat

The new quarter has started and I think it will be way less stressful than last quarter. Just taking the Friday seminar series class. Most of it will be molecular...yay, not really but I guess it could be worse.Going to the Angels Red Sox game on Saturday afternoon. Can't believe we got nine people going, I was hoping for five.My dog misses Goofy. He doesn't adapt well to sudden changes so

Yesterday morning one of my dogs died. It was my brother's dog, Goofy. He was such a special dog. Had lots of little quirks to him, and we all thought he'd outlive us all. He ate so much crap he shouldn't have: rocks, wood, plastic, razors, books, decks of cards, purse, Halloween costume, plastic liner of the shower and the cord of a plugged in fan twice. He really was a special little dog.

My bff is back from her honeymoon. We hung out for Betty night on Thursday and she gave me my souvenirs from Paris and Belgium. Have a Eiffel Tower shot glass to add to my growing collection. Belgium is apparently known for their lace (who knew?) besides chocolate, so she got me an apron with Belgian lace. I showed it to my mom and she was like this is an apron you never use.

School is done with for the quarter!Word of advice never take a class about plant physics. That final was brutal. Like seriously. I'm glad we all kept the tears in.Going to the zoo this weekend, yay.

Why is that when it reaches the end of the quarter, my body likes to have no immune system? I've been sick off and on for a few weeks and last night it came back and I'm feeling it today. Really annoying.I've been trying to find more soil papers that aren't crap but it seems like they all are. We didn't do a north-south slope, so that doesn't apply. We are in coastal sage scrub which sometime

I kind of stopped posting. Well stuff happens.My living room is all painted! The baseboards are up, the doorway molding is up. Just need some flooring and crown molding. And then put some stuff up on the walls, and then I can do Wii Bowling Night! Yay.It will happen...eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later. We'll see though. I don't want to do it until the house is mostly done.Ok

Walls will be painted tomorrow, and then hopefully the floor will be going done shortly thereafter. Can't wait for the house to be done. My parents are coming over tomorrow.

Anyone else remember the days in elementary school when they would bring school buses onto the field so you could practice jumping out of the different emergency exits?Best day ever.I was talking about it with some people and only one of the two got to do it to. That was seriously the highlight of the school year. Well besides actual field trips, because riding the bus was fun as long as you

Well as of yesterday, Gus went to mouse heaven. We would have all preferred that we could have set him free but he refused to go in the live traps. He had a nice home for over a year and it was time for him to go.School started on Monday, and I've already had two labs canceled and a lecture for next week canceled. What can you do?

Well my bff is now officially married. There were no tears during the wedding, there was laughter though. Went pretty smoothly, besides me ripping off part of a toenail when I put my shoes on. And my bff's mom taking a stumble down some stairs and bruising her side.It's just weird to think that she has a husband. Didn't seem like it really hit her until we were getting ready that day. And

Grades were due Tuesday (I think). Tried checking after my friend sent me a text asking what I got, and Broncodirect (piece of crap that it is) wouldn't let me log in. After failing four times I gave up for the day. Checked last night and I got a B- in the lab. Which given how I did on the first lab midterm was theoretically impossible (or was it?

So I have an unwanted guest in my house. His name is Gus. He's been here for over a year. Why do I want him out? Because he's a f*cking genius mouse that knows what traps are. We've tried five different types. He will either shove them out of the way when he runs by (heard him do it) or he'll eat the food without setting off the trap. How the hell does he do that?He also hoards dog food,

Me thinks I should give up on school. I hate professors that are very nit picky with what they want in an answer to a midterm. Even if what you wrote is technically right, if it's not exactly how they wanted it they will mark you wrong. Seriously, I hate school.

Had a small discussion on guilty pleasures today. Some I have no problem admitting to. Here are some I have no problem sharing with you.1. Teen shows. Never got into them as a teen but love watching them now. One of my favorites is One Tree Hill because of how craptastic it is. They do whatever they want on that show even though it is out there most of the time.2. A cappella music. Love

I'm not liking a professor right now. I don't think anyone in the class does very much. Have to suffer through it for another five weeks. But I don't plan on taking a class with this person ever again.I also burned my finger today.Had a midterm as well.Halloween is swell.At least the bridal shower invites are out. Games are planned and we sort of know what supplies to get.

It seems that most people don't know the real me, my bestest friend has even told me that. So I thought I'd share some random things about myself.1. I have an anti-foot fetish, meaning I don't understand how some people are into feet and find them erotic. They are dirty, gross, and if you even think about putting them up on my dashboard I will find a way to chop them off and throw them out the

File this under in case you missed it news, I'm a sports fan. There are some sports I can watch on television (football, soccer, hockey) while some you have to actually be at the game to enjoy it. Baseball falls under this category. I've been to multiple games in my lifetime (from minors to majors) seeing the California Angels (none of this Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim bullshit, they are in

Now I'm sure most of you know that I enjoy cooking and baking. I also enjoy trying out new food types (within reason of course). I'm also someone who will just toss stuff together without following any recipe (tonight I made a fajita/stir fry type thing with green onions, red bell peppers, mushrooms and chicken, then warmed up some corn tortillas and the meal was complete).

Call me old-fashioned if you'd like but I like to keep my political (and religious) views to myself unless someone brings about a discussion where I feel compelled to participate. I don't like to advertise who I am voting for because why should I? When you vote you go in your cubby anyways so that it can be done anonymously. I just find it really annoying to see celebrities whoring themselves

First of all ew, and second of all just because you are soooo in love doesn't mean I want to witness it while buying house supplies.

Thursday: September 4thToday consisted of me waking up with my throat hurting like a mother. I seriously think something is wrong with my tonsils. So I tried to suck it up as best as I could because we had some errands to do.Headed to Charlottesville to go to Target, picking up some household things (and lozenges for me). Since we were close to the University of Virginia I made my brother

Tuesday: September 2To make the trip easier to LAX, I spent the night at Shannon's house on Monday so she and I could wake up before the sun to head out to the airport.  So on Monday night we watched some Arrested Development (season 1) and we saw our "blind" friend being an extra.  And we had some klondike bars.I can't even remember what time we woke up (4 am?), I had an 8 am flight so I wanted

I was going to try to actually write blogs while I was on the east coast, but that didn't happen because they don't like the internet apparently.  In my brother's place there were two spots where I could get one bar for my signal.  So alas no way I could write a blog.  I tried from my cell but it kept telling me there was an error.And now I'm sick, so who knows when I will feel like uploading my

I booked my flight for next week.  Going to Virginia.  My brother is officially moving Thursday, that's when he'll leave good ole California to trek across the country to live in the south.  I'm flying out Tuesday to help him get settled in and make sure he has everything he needs.  I fly back early Friday morning to make it back for the concert at the Hollywood Bowl that night.Best part of the

I wash my car.  Well today was the day I did it.  When people start making comments about how you need to clean your windows, well I figure that's a big enough push to do it.Right now my car is somewhat shiny, looks like it has horrible paint, but hey I can see through the windows so much easier.  Maybe I should wash it every 18 months or so.  Or at least clean my windows every few weeks.

Well it looks like everyone else is starting up a blog away from myspace, so why not join the fun too?
