I had the most incredible dream last night. I dreamt that Joey and I both dropped out of school, moved to Italy, and opened up our own bakery.

It was the most liberating, exciting thing that has passed through my mind as of late.

Okay, so maybe it's just the codeine, but I wonder if this means something more grand? :]

Of course it's been a long time since I've posted, again. I'm on break now, and healing from surgery (on my other knee), and I actually have some downtime. So, I figure it's about time that I actually introduce Harlow to the internet. I took these pictures awhile ago, but it has taken my mom this long to find the cord so that I could upload them to ( Read more... )

I am so incredibly proud of this country. What an absolutely monumental, historical day this is and I'm so honored to have had a part in it. I only wish my father could be here to witness this along with me. He would be so proud of our country's ability to share a passion he held so dear to his heart ( Read more... )

When I say the name "Harlow" or "My dog's name is Harlow," what do you think?

What is the first thing that comes to mind?  Or the second?

Bonus points added for honesty.

Things have been going pretty well for me.  I finished out this quarter with A's in both of my classes and after much contemplation (and an attempt to quell my desire to run from everything), I've decided to finish out my degree at DePaul. I love my cohort and I really adore the atmosphere.  I can decide where to go with my PhD when the time comes ( Read more... )

This is me writing in el jay instead of doing my final paper for ethics.  I really don't want to deal with it and its ridiculous responsibility ( Read more... )

So...I went to have my mammogram.  I don't have cancer.  I don't even have any lumps in my boobs.  I need a new doctor.  But, srsly, yay for safe boobies.

In other news, looking for an apartment is like dying a slow death.

I'm pretty sure, at this point, that it might even be better than wading through the bullshit of Chicago realty. 

Today I went to the doctor to get refills on my birth control, which means the dreaded gynecological exam.  Yeah, I know it's TMI, but there's a point to this entry.

When she did my breast exam, she found 3 spots that concerned her.  She said her gut feeling is that it's just because I'm large chested, but it's still something that needs to be ( Read more... )

I'm in the mood to go to the movies.

Has anyone seen anything good at the movies lately? 

I started classes last Monday; I really love them.  They provide the creativity for which I've been searching.  I know it's too early to declare my pleasure, but I'm just happy to have what I have right now.  I feel like I'm supposed to be in these classes.  There are still things that I'm nervous about, most certainly, but I feel content.  I have ( Read more... )
