I forgot to set an alarm last night, yet I woke up earlier than usual and made it to work earlier than usual, feeling more refreshed and awesome than usual. YAY!
Raegan invited me to this Young Catholic Professionals speaker/networking event tonight, and it was REALLY awesome. The speaker was very interesting and we met some really nice people! I can't wait until the next one! Thanks, Raegan!
Also, I got a thank you card from Joe in the mail that made me cry because it was so sweet. <3
Boston University received my application today. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sunday: Scott and I went and got Subway and went to a park and played frisbee and walked around. It was a beautiful day and we had fun! :) Also, he took me to Town East Mall, which has been described to me as super ghetto for the past 10 months. I was so excited to see the shadiness, but it was actually super nice and I can't wait to go shopping there!
Today: I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and spent most of the day as a grumpasaurus, but little things here and there made me laugh and realize that life is funny.
For instance:
Right as I'm pulling into my apartment complex, my windshield gets pelted by two splatters of the nastiest green bird poop I've ever seen. What's awesome is that both splatters hit on the lower left hand corner of the windshield, right in that little spot where your wipers can't get to. So now I have some beautiful art on my car, and I couldn't help but laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of the situation. I hope it rains soon...
I cooked some chicken for lunch/dinner tomorrow, and I left it out on the counter to cool off for a little bit before I put it in the fridge. I watch HIMYM in my room, and as I'm walking back into the living room I SEE THE CAT ON THE STOVE EATING MY CHICKEN. WTF CAT. Once again, the sheer ridiculousness of the situation was enough to make me laugh.
My roommate made spaghetti squash and let me try some. SPAGHETTI SQUASH! What a glorious vegetable!! How have I never heard of it before? It is so awesome!

This weekend has been excellent.
Friday: Alicia, E, and I had a much needed girl's night at Cowboys, and it was the night that all November birthdays and their friends paid no cover and got a free drink :) Highlights of the night? Glad you asked. Alicia caught the eye of someone we think is a drug dealer. Two cell phones, wad of cash (but no one dolla bills) at the bar, and claimed his job was none of her business. Hahahaha. E got hit on by every single guy there, and I got stuck talking to one guy's married wingman, who only talked about his wife... yet still asked for my phone number. Very fun night. Taylor talked to me when I got home, and that was nice :)
Saturday: SLEEP. Softball :D Went to central market with the team in between games. They are really awesome people, and I want to actually be their friend in real life, not just Saturdays! Hahaha. Went for a jog, more softball, then at night went to go watch football/knox-henderson/some place in Addison with the Falcon bros. We went to this place called Barcadia, where they have old school arcade games, life sized jenga and connect four, and SKEE BALL. SO AWESOME. We went next door to this bar called Park, which looked like the inside of an old house, complete with carpet, chandeliers, candelabras, 80's music, and cool living-room type chairs. It felt like that was the kind of house that would be haunted or have vampires. Stephen and I went around and sat in EVERY SINGLE CHAIR to determine which was the best.
Today: I am going to find something to do outside :D It's such a beautiful day!

I learned how to do western blots today. Yay! Chris taught me and it was fun. Everyone does them except for me, and I feel like that's a pretty standard lab thing. But now I can do, suckaaaaaaaaaaas!
Caroline brought me a brownie from Starbucks and it was amazing.
Instead of working out, I opted to snuggle in bed :)

I met Jaime and Robson for dinner, and Jaime and I both got the chicken fried steak for $6.99 with mashed potatoes and black eyes peas. SO GOOD! I love those boys, I love chicken fried foods, and I love being from the south.
I got approved to take my birthday off of work, which is the day before thanksgiving, so I have a nice long break. Michelle also agreed to let me take off the ENTIRE week between Christmas and New Years!!! WHEEEEEE!! VACATION!!!!!!

After I posted last night, my dad called to ask me the "Geo-Genius" questions that come in his National Geographic issues each month. My dad and I share a love for geography, and this is one of my favorite father-daughter things we do. The first day of the month, or whenever he gets his new issue in the mail, he always calls me and we guess the answers together. We both got 3/5 right this time around. I LOVE MY DAD.
The guys at work had some funny jokes/comments, mostly making fun of me, and they are great and make me laugh a lot.
I learned about geocaching today. This is SO going to be my new hobby.
It rained all day today. When I left the YMCA, it was dark and it was a nice steady rain. I got stuck at a light, and I just wanted to sit there forever. The lights of downtown mixed with the sound of the rain on my car... there was something oddly beautiful about it.
I went to a kickboxing class for the first time in a year. It was fun :D
I made tabbouleh for the first time, and it tastes AWESOME.

Halloween weekend.
Friday: Michelle instituted a "beer hour" at the lab to celebrate everyone's recent accomplishments. I LOVE hanging with the people I work with. This cool guy from some other lab came to ask someone a question, ended up drinking a beer with us, and told some hilarious stories.
Found an awesome football jersey to pair with heels and a skirt for the party that night. Some sciencey dudes, including the head of our department, have a rock cover band, and some people from the lab went out to watch them, and some of my friends came, too! We had such a fun time :)
Saturday: HILARITY. Went to go put some flowers on Grandma's grave (happy birthday, Grandma!), and somehow at Kroger I managed to split the entire crotch of my jeans without my knowing. I was giving everyone a free show. Booooo. Changed my pants in the car at the cemetery... so much for being respectful. It was hilarious. Softball was awesome, as usual. Then we all went to Cowboys for a little dancing :) Hilde let me borrow her woodland fairy costume, and we all looked great and had an awesome time.
Sunday: SCRAPBOOKED. For the first time in forever. I basically did nothing all day. It was so so so so so so so glorious. Got to catch up with Jamie and James :D
Today: I got a buttload of work done today, and Chris used my data in his lab meeting presentation, and I felt very proud of it all. :) Kris made this dish with rutabaga in it, and it was tasty :)
