are you out there blog? it's me, tiff

Well. I am not sure why the ridiculously long pause in my blogging, except that I have been busy...enjoying my job...lazy?...whatever. Lately though there has been this little nagging voice in my head telling me to get back to blogging, and I have some great stories/ideas/thoughts to share, so here we go...

things that have broken in the last couple weeks

1. my visor in my car. now it is sort of working with the help of some velcro.
2. my old lime iMac - well it's been broken for a long time, but today some 'genius' at the apple store apparently fixed it...until i came home and it won't turn on again.
3. our garbage disposal
4. my favorite sunglasses
5. our screen door - it ripped out of the wall last night when i opened it.

hopefully, i won't have to add anything to this list!

viva la vida

It's been a long time since I let a whole month slip by without posting. One reason that it's happened now is because that last post was really significant...our life could change drastically and for the better soon...but we are waiting for now.

Another reason is that this has been probably one of the busiest times of my life! In the past month I drove something like 3,000 miles [yuck], visited my family at home and my husband's family, went to 2 concerts, helped a friend move, attended a wedding [as you can see above], FINISHED TEACHING, and in the last 11 days, I have been extremely busy every day and night except ONE.

Hopefully some of my activites the last 2 days will pay off [such as driving 700 miles in 24 hours].

I promise to stop being so vague soon! Once some things have been figured out.

I have 2 days of 'down time' - during which I have a huge to do list to complete - then it's back to Pittsburgh Thurs-Sat for my sister-in-law's wedding...then I fly out of Pittsburgh at 6:30 am on Sunday to visit my sister in Charlotte for 4 days!

I think it's a sign of me getting older when I actually [secretly] look forward to June 26, when I will be home again and can actually relax for a few days. Or maybe even a whole week!

i'm so productive.
i went to barnes and noble and enjoyed a comfy chair and coffee while i worked for over 3 hours.
and even though i have a LOT of work left to do before class next weekend,
i am not stressed!
amazing!
i'm actually really excited about the work ahead of me.
to quote my friend Crystal, who knew??

Went to the newly opened Cheesecake Factory yesterday.
Ordered the fettucini with chicken and sun-dried tomatoes.
Thought it tasted strange at first.
After a few more bites it tasted pretty good.
After I finished my husband took a bite.
He got a really strange look on his face and said:
'that tastes like weed.'
And he was right.

We later deemed it potsa.
