Fallen in love with Newfoundland dogs!

Here's an article I found looking for cute pictures of these dogs. They seem like such awesome dogs, but I can't imagine how much they eat! And just the sheer amount of space you'd need to keep one!!

Rolling in the Deep


I really like this song, and the video. :)

Losing Weight!

I've been counting calories since January and I've lost about 25 lbs. It's all been going pretty well, though it's not always easy. I'm just happy that I'm starting to get back down to where I was in undergrad. I have this one pair of capri's from when I was at my skinniest (size 16) and I'm just waiting for the day I can fit into then again. I'm at about a size 20 now down from probably a 24 back in October.

Anyway, I'm a whale in outer space!!!

Revival of the Blog!

Well well well. Here I am, much much later, returning to my long lost musings.

What can I say to fill in the intervening years? Well, I graduated with a BA in Psychology from Washington University in Saint Louis, I'm currently working on my certification to be an Associate Behavior Analyst and working as an Applied Behavior
Analysis Paraprofessional through Special School District, I have two black kitties that I absolutely love to death, and, for the last three years, I have been blessed beyond belief by the presence of a special someone in my life. Her name is Danielle and we plan to be 'married' in October of 2012.

She is currently a junior (soon to be senior) at the University of Missouri Saint Louis, is similarly studying Psychology, and plans to do research and be a professor someday.

We just got a new apartment in the Central West End and will be living without roommates for the first time since we started dating three years ago (we moved in together after 1 year). It will definitely be nice to only have to rely on each other rather than any number of roommates who may not turn out to be quite as nice as they seemed initially (long story there).

So yeah, I don't really know what else to say for now, so here's some pictures of my kitties!

Chillin in the Texas Woods

So here I am, braving the one thing I spent years trying to get away from
*pause for dramatic music*
Conroe, TX.

Ok, ok, so currently I'm sitting in New Caney, TX, a 10-15 min drive... but whatever. My friend John's keeping me sane and entertained, so that's fun. I've seen family, I've gotten presents (new phone, totally cool), and I've spent way more time than I want to in the Texas woods. Soon it will be time to return to my apartment in St. Louis, and the realities of my 6th semester at WashU.

With a nod to Motion City Soundtrack, the future freaks me out.

Till next time.

.Must. .Survive. .Finals. .Week.

OMG I WANNA GO HOME!!!

So I'm back in Texas from Dec 21 to Jan 13. Woot.
Gonna hang out with John. Rawkus. New Year's is gonna be awwwwesome.

Just need to put the finishing touches on a paper and then study for an exam for the next few days....
*whimper* I'm so done....


On a happy note, however, I got the best compliment from a friend of mine today. He told me ->
"you're sweet, you're kind, you're patient, you're generous. you have a very fun disposition. you know yourself well. you're somewhat introspective, but you like to have fun. you're nothing short of an interesting person."

*yay-face*

^_^ And now I wanna go to bed. Nights!

Time to Register for Classes? What??

Bleh. I'm so frazzled lately.

Went off the Lexapro. That was hell for a couple weeks. Have Xanax now. Fun.

On a happier note, I may have the most perfect schedule EVER next semester. First of all, I'll complete all my psychology major requirements. Plus I'll complete all my artsci requirements. THEN, my earliest class in the week is at 11:30, my Mondays don't start till 1pm, and my Fridays are over at 1pm. SOOOOO perfect.

So hopefully next semester I'll be taking:
The Science of Sleep
Introduction to the Psychology of Aging
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identity Development
Theatre Culture Studies Seminar
and
Poetry Writing

WOO!

Soooo yeah. I'm gonna be in town (St. Louis) for Thanksgiving. Come chill if ur around.

PEACE!
