An Existence Less Meaningless

New Blog

2010-06-17T06:54:00.000-07:00

This is it!

Instead of creating a new blog for the "after school" portion of my other blog, I am taking over this little neglected blog.

I wanted another blog to write about random things and crafts/projects that I'm working on, and not focus so much on my job and career. My life outside my career is just starting again after a 2 year hiatus! I've got big plans for the future and I want to document them on a blog. Even if some of those "big plans" are simple things :)

So enough, rambling. Welcome to the Semi-New Blog!

Lingerie For The Whole Family

2009-02-15T16:51:00.001-08:00

I was so excited to get my Victoria's Secret catalog today because I was wanting to document this.

I could care less about Victoria's Secret. Somehow, this catalog found me through some girly magazine subscription I had years ago.

Anyway, I find it extremely ironic to find this:

What is this world coming to?

Don't Drink The Water

2009-01-21T18:06:00.001-08:00

One of our cats showed a passionate interest in the water cooler this evening. She has had a slight crush on it for the past couple months and we thought it was cute. One time, I filled the cat's bowl with water from the cooler just for fun, but Spouse usually refills with tap water.

The tap water here SUCKS. It tastes TERRIBLE. But the cats don't mind, right? I mean, if they're trying to climb the cabinets to taste raw chicken thawing out, they won't mind a little crappy water, right?

Tonight, she really told us that the water is $#!^.

I put some cooler water in the bowl and she had a drink immediately.

So I guess the cats now will reap the rewards of my "Very Practical" Christmas present from Spouse the first year we were married.

Now, we'll be refilling the cooler jug even more frequently.

It's okay, Saffie, you rest while I wrap presents and do stuff....

Ode To Bread

2008-11-04T16:21:00.000-08:00

I present to you an amazing discovery!

I bought this loaf of bread so long ago, I can't remember. It's been at least a month. Probably more. It has yet to mold.

Just last week, Spouse was comfortably eating peanut butter sandwiches with slices of this bread. Month-old bread.

In the background, is it's replacement. I am retiring the old miracle bread tonight.

For only being 45 calories (per slice) it actually was pretty good.

Maybe that's why it didn't mold or "go bad." It's mostly made out of air.

Here are some of my workout videos. They're fun, especially Turbo Jam, and I like to do them. It's so great to workout at home!

But lately, I truly don't have time. I need to be studying in most of my free time. I guess I could get up at 4am every morning and workout before school.

Anyway, one of our instructors said that it's typical that all RT students gain 10 pounds in the time they're going through school. Dude! I say no way!!.... hopefully.

Diaper Cake

2008-09-28T10:38:00.001-07:00

Thankfully, I had a little break in between Summer semesters and RT school starting for some creative time. I made this totally awesome "Rockstar" themed diaper cake for my cousin's Baby Shower for her son Tyler.
