1) My brother bought me a box of mini cupcakes from Baked by Melissa yesterday. I was like oh yea, did I tell you about this store once? He said nope, he just saw the store and thought, “Hey, my sis might like this.”

Sometimes my bro can be so sweet and thoughtful :)

2) Commencement next week. Final tomorrow and research paper due by Thursday (but I’m making my deadline this Monday).

3) I’ve written 10 page papers in undergrad, but for the first semester of grad school, one of the papers I had to write for my 19th cent lit class, I had to do tons of research and thought that was the hardest paper I ever wrote. Then came the papers the semester after. Then there was the thesis this semester - definitely the hardest thing I ever wrote. But I must now finish this last paper.

My poor Knicks. *sigh, wipes away tears*

It’s still Knickstape always. Mostly a really good try and many great games. To even be in the semifinals in so long was great.

Next year, for sure.

Knickerbockers fan always.

Alright Knicks, it was orange and blue skies last night. Just two more. Take it one at a time.

If the Memphis Grizzlies can make history and advance to the Western Conference finals for the first time, the Knicks can make history and come back from a 3-1 (now 3-2).

I have survived the thesis. That is all for now. On to the research paper. Commencement in two weeks.

I can help others but I can’t help myself. Story of my life. Great, just great, really.

NBA Playoff Season is now and all these shows are on. And I just need to be writing my thesis. And thinking about the research paper. But all I wanna do is watch t.v. and sleep. And I don’t even watch shows like that. Ugh. And there’s only a month left.

Ms. Marbles=Boots

I put up a somewhat blurry toddler pic of mine as Facebook profile pic (wearing red socks over white tights, which match my denim dress that has red flowers)
B: Your boots. Guess your love for boots went waaay back.

R: Is that you? The shoes. Yes, it has to be you.

Ms. Marbles=Coffee

So even all the little ones know how much I love coffee…

Mom buys some raffle tickets that someone asks her to as a donation:

Mom jokes: J is going to win that cup set

J (8 yrs old): Big sis (me) is gonna win coffee!

I go out to buy some fries


Me: E, I’m going out to get you some fries

E (3 yrs old): Get some donuts. And get yourself a coffee!
