whoops.

has it really been 3ish weeks since my last post? i suppose the two week olympic hiatus proved to be true. yes i had olympic fever. i had it bad. especially the first week. second week, not so much. well, i got a little addicted to curling. also, lack of posting is due to my busy life schedule. not gonna lie, my life has gone up a notch on the busy meter. i got a job about 2 weeks ago. i didn't even go looking for this one. it's not what you know, it's who you know. i must say it's nice to have a slight purpose in life beyond entertaining myself all day. however, the job factor did put a kink in my non-routine daily routine. actually the whole j-o-b really disrupts my workout schedule ie the only really productive thing i do everyday. i would proudly like to state that i have gone to the gym a few days a week, before work. (meaning i get up long before the sun comes out so i can be at work by 8.) i know you want to know all the dirty deets about the job, but let's just say it isn't exactly up my alley and not in a bad way. i am working in the medical realm so mostly i just do what i am told and work diligently to remain in the good graces of those who tell me what to do. the job has its perks and is interesting, in a i'm-not-really-in-my-element-kind-of-way and it's nice to have a solid paycheck en route to my checking account. plus i work with some characters, and i mean this as a compliment.

i am still waiting to hear back from some grad schools. i had an interview with one this past week. more to come later. slash when i actually have some information to give. i would really love some non-loan money tips though.

i haven't really been baking so i have no new recipes. i'll save the book club stuff for later because my reading pace has slowed considerably.

oh it snowed all day on march the second. yes, i thought it was crazy when it snowed on march the first last year. this weekend it is in the high 50s-low 60s. go figure.

anddddd i'm leaving for key west tomorrow. my first big travel adventure since the great european tour. and yes, i have a free place to stay. that's how i roll. we all know i am an expert on doing it cheap and doing it well.

(that's what she said)

with, that i'm gone again, but hopefully more exciting updates coming soon!
