PART TWO
1. Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work? No. :) I've never even heard or thought of doing that.
2. Have you ever puked at a bar or club? Nope.
3. Have you ever dated someone you met online?: No, but I went on a date with someone I met while driving down the street.
4. Have you ever smoked pot at a concert?: I've never smoked pot.
5. Have you ever dated/fooled around with a coworker? Yes. :) My BF was a coworker at one point.

8. Have you ever been on a blind date?: Yes - it was the worst date I ever had.
9. Are looks important?: Not especially.

20. What was the worst style of the 80's?:I can't pick a worst. I can't pick a best. Sometimes I think that period of time should just be erased from all memory.
21. Have you ever peed in public: Not really in public, but out in the open. Hey, if you've gotta go, you've gotta go.

Fanny Farmer is My New Best Friend

Yes. It's true. I think my Fanny Farmer cookbook is probably the best investment I have ever made (and at $6.99, quite a steal!). After looking for a recipe online for several days, it occurred to me that I would probably find it in Fanny's plethora of wisdom. I made macaroni and cheese from scratch tonight, and it was really yummy. If you don't have one, you should get one.
Here is all of my exciting news:
My sister FINALLY had her baby last night. It's a boy: Samuel Robert, weighing in at 8 lbs, 9 oz. And only 12 days late! :)
I just got my second acceptance letter to CSULA, so I will for sure be attending next quarter. (I had already been accepted, but I decided not to go this quarter, so I had to re-apply.)
I was nominated to be in the National Dean's List-apparently they have a book that's published every year. Only 0.5% of the nation's college students make it in, so it's actually quite an honor.
Needless to say, I'm pretty happy right now. :)

A Little Birdy Told Me...

As I was getting ready to leave work tonight, the patients were just starting dinner. Rebecca (one of the therapists) came into the office, and said, "Um, there's a bird in the dining room...". I was like, "Okay - do you need help?" She said she's not scared of birds, but that she could use some help. I went into the dining room, and there was this little bird - I think it was a finch - just chilling on the windowsill. I closed all the doors except the front door, because I completely expected it to start flying around, but when I walked up to it, it just looked at me. At this point, I figured that it had flown into the window and stunned itself, so I grabbed a bowl to pick it up with. I got up right next to it, and started petting it, and kind of nudged it into the bowl. It hopped onto the rim, and I carried it outside. I didn't want to leave it on the ground, because I was afraid that Sylvie, the hospital cat, would get it, so I was trying to put it somewhere up high. It took a minute, but then it just flew away, so I guess it wasn't stunned. All the patients thought I was pretty cool after that. :) I must be a bird whisperer.

Sorry to those who didn't get to look at my dress. (See previous post.) It's really sexy, though.

I read somewhere yesterday that the average person reads 300 books in their lifetime. Tonight I'm going to the library. :)

I just checked the PCC website, and saw that I am for sure getting my two degrees from them. Yay me! :) Somehow I managed to get an AA and an AS - not that either one will do me any good whatsoever, but at least I'll have some more things to frame and hang on my wall. Still waiting to hear from CSLA about whether I got accepted again...
Kendall is taking me to see "Wicked" next month. This is the dress that I will be wearing:
