Label Me

September 30, 2008

I’m so glad that everyone seems to have liked the Blogger Secret Ingredient choice for this week! To answer some of the questions that appeared in the comments… 1) Yes, Mr. Butternut Squash was posing rather seductively on my bed. 2) The submissions are due by the end of the day on Sunday! Glad we [...]

Blogger Secret Ingredient!

September 29, 2008

The lovely ladies Erin and Andrea of Care to Eat have passed me the Blogger Secret Ingredient torch! I couldn’t be more thrilled and the timing couldn’t be more perfect!

I know that personally, I enjoy [...]

Mango-a-go-go

September 23, 2008

My first day of classes went great! I really enjoyed my two economics classes. One of them will discuss how businesses interact with government regulators – such as the FDA! – and the other is about financial markets and trading. I think both of them are very timely and will provide me with some new [...]

A Day of Firsts.

September 22, 2008

The first day of autumn ties in just perfectly with the first day of senior year, plus another first that I will tell you about later! It was a busy day, for sure, even without classes. Books were bought (and wallets were heartbroken), organization was attempted (still a work in progress), and there was also [...]
