Commence the Weekend Countdown

Almost Friday, can I get an Amen?!?! I am very excited to commence with the weekend activities, I'm going home with Roger to his homestead, it will be a good time. I had my first day of my internship today and it went swell, I'm actually super excited about it wooho!!

Can you believe my parents still don't have electricity thanks to the big ol' meanie Irene? I would have given up the will to survive ages ago, but my parents are pioneers. Here are some pictures they snapped of poor little Clinton New Jersey.

Gives a whole new idea to riverside dining. Table for two please?

Idea for Clinton Travel Bureau: Ship in stingrays, set them free, allow people to feed them from these picnic benches. It will be a family affair and rake in millions.

Fact: Clinton has a rubber ducky race each year.

Here are a few snaps of my life lately. This was a class of priests-in-training who were having class outside. There is something pretty funny about a group twenty collared priesty-boys hanging outside. Forgive me Lord for I have sinned, I pretended to play be up to iPad tom foolery but really took a picture. Then you have the library, where I sneak off between classes for air conditioning and wireless. I enjoy both.



Check out my Tardis mug, so excited about it! Coffee just tastes better in a Time and Relative Dimension in Space. This salad is wayyyy beyond delicious and  I am borderline obsessed with this salad place. They are starting to recognize me, I'm both embarrassed and proud.


THIS GUM IS SOO GOOD.

That be all. I don't have any what I'm wearing pictures because I had my internship and took off me business time clothes the moment I walked through the door. Buttttt I got hit on by a bunch of homeless men in wheelchairs, so I must have been looking pretty swell.

I Survived (More Importantly I Have Power!!)

Hurricane Irene's bark was (luckily!) way worst than her bite. I found ways to keep busy while she huffed and puffed-most of them included looking good (see image below).

I was actually at the hospital yesterday for my second Remicade infusion for my Ulcerative Colitis. I will forever refer to this as "extreme infusion" trying to catch a taxi in a hurricane takes lots o' luck.

The window kept making awful noise with all the wind, I thought it was going to blow in! Waah!

Roger read literature while I engaged in shenanigans.

Caught in the act: Shenanigans.

Drip faster suckers! I have places to beeeeeee.

Check out my sweet hospital bracelet. This would have come in helpful if the window did blow in and I got conked on the head and forgot who I was...or ended up in Oz. I am happy to report this did no happen.

Air Jordan accompanied to the appointment, he's a gentleman. Side note: I love this backpack.

It's hardcore to get internet access around here, each patient gets their own access code. Big Brother is watching.

These curtains get so boring after a couple of hours. White polka dot....white polka dot...white polka dot...I'd like some switch ups. Maybe a square here or there.

We played fruit ninja. Ever play? Good times.

I got a little punchy and Roger nabbed the camera. Regard the aftermath.
Captured: A victim of Hurricane Irene. I think the stress of it all got to much for my poor little orchid, because in the middle of watching a weather report the news this poor little guy drifted to the carpet like the rose in Beauty and the Beast. Times is hard.

And here's the fort during Hurricane Irene.
We ordered $45 worth of Domino's Pizza thinking it could sustain us for days. Luckily we never lost power (YESSSSS). My parent on the other hand are powerless and could be for weeks!! AHH!
Here's what I'm working with today
This is my last day of summer, as of tomorrow I am officially a graduate student!! I already have homework, better get to it!!!

There She Blows

Hurricane Irene is coming to rock my world.

I did a little grocery shopping to prepare for the storm in which I bought frozen food. My brightest moment? Not quite. I think I'll be defrosting  Jolly Green Giant broccoli over a candlelight. If I am not back for a couple of days assume I have lost power (you might also hear my sobs) and have become one of those street hooligans brawling over bottled water.

Let's reminisce about brighter times, like that time (aka yesterday) I met with my brother for lunch. We at at Vapiano, ever heard of it? IT IS SO GOOD! Deliciouso! We had Italian food in Chinatown. Whoops. But actually I don't remember seeing any Chinese food restaurants. Is everything I know a lie?

I had fantastico spinach ravioli and Kevin had some sort of pesto concoction.

So happy to be eating...

Except we totally ate to much and felt the glutenous pain. Luckily, we held our puke in until we left the restaurant.

Ahh good weather, I vaguely remember you. I hope we meet again.

Everyone stay safe! No swimming in Irene's wrathful waters!
