6. Student Program Assistant at the Boston Conservatory
7. Academic Advisor at Suffolk University in Boston
8. Director of New Student Orientation and Parent Relations at the University of Delaware

More updates to come obviously as I hopefully am contacted haha.

In other news, Friday was a lot of fun. I shared a pesto pizza with a first year in my program at my friend's birthday dinner, then Rita and I left for the movies. "He's Just Not That Into You" is a FABULOUS movie. Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck had the PERFECT relationship, I hope someone (maybe John Mayer) makes her that happy in real life. I really love her, I don't often give a crap about celebrities but there's something about Jen I've always loved. One of the lines in the movie was saying how if a girl is named Amber or Christine she's never going to sleep with you. I chuckled, as did Rita, and immediately went home and sent a message to my old boss's wife Amber haha.Here's a pic of my munchkin and I at the movies:


Saturday I worked out then head to Long Island to visit with the fam. Rosie and Brian popped in for a surprise quick visit, then Gramma and Grandpa came down for a lovely eggplant parm dinner my Aunt Amy made. Fuzz got me a heart shaped boxes of Hershey's kisses "for the Kissinator". It was precious. Here's some pics:






Sunday I drove back to CT and prepared a lovely Mexican feast for my dinner guests, Mary and Colin! I never really get to cook for others, it's usually my roommate trying out some new recipe that always comes out spectacular and I'm never brave enough to try to prepare something that will compare

So I went all out and made veggie fajitas with all the fixings, and baked oatmeal cinnamon chocolate chip cookies with applesauce to make cookie ice cream sundaes with. The cookies didn't come out right b/c I screwed up the butter to applesauce conversion but oh well. It was so much fun having guests over and by the time they got there I definitely needed company as I had been myself since 9:30 that morning, so that was too much time alone in my head. Rita and I chatted for a while before they got there so that kept me occupied. Crissy came home right in time for dessert and we all screamed for ice cream haha

Tonight after work I'm having a slumber party with Rita b/c my fav pup Pacino is in town! This Saturday I'm going to Boston for a Ryan Adams concert and I'm going to see Jaci and Andy. WHOOT!

Much to look forward to and to keep me busy, as that is how I survive, with the help of my oxygen.

No updates on the eye thing, I'll hopefully know more this Friday. Thanks to all of you who have checked in again, you mean the world to me.

1) I LOVE the use of applesauce in baked goods.

Hottiepants!
Yes and no. I'm so conflicted with everything, and won't be able to really say preferences until I hopefully get interviews and meet with who my potential staff would be, etc. The Bennington College job sounds idealic, but we shall see

Crissy said...

couple things

1. the cookie in my oatmeal was really good. so, the cookies are fine.

2. please please please experiment recipes while I am home. Altho, I do love cooking for you, and you generally spoil me with dessert... maybe some classic vegetarian meal that I am too scared to ever order off a menu, like tofu?

3. i have never heard of bennington college, altho quick google search told me it's in VT, typo noons. I forgive you.
