It’s official

There is no such thing as Thanksgiving. I went to the bank today and they were playing X-mas tunes in the ATM vestibule.

I’m not leaving my apartment until X-mas is over. Maybe if they ever bring Christmas back, I won’t be a hermit…

Success!!!

I did it! I am now a certified pastry chef! I’ll upload pics of my final project later, but for now, I’m going to sleep for 4 days (after I drink too much at my graduation party!!!)

What am I doing after that, you ask? Well, I’m not planning on doing much before the new year. I have to get my personal life in order again, and I don’t want to bake professionally for the holidays this year. I’ll start getting an out-of-home business together in January, and then anyone in NYC can get cakes, cookies and small showpieces from me!

T-Mobile and the magenta color are federally registered trademarks of Deutsche Telekom AG.
Stick together is a federally registered trademark of T-Mobile USA, Inc.

So if I say “we need to stick together or we won’t make it through this” I need to pay money to T-Mobile?

Magenta Oh no! I used magenta!

Vote 2008…

…because 2008 is good for you and for the country…

I wish every election year was like this, at least for me. There was a HUGE line this morning around 9, so I decided to leave early from work to brave the line tonight. Good idea.

I didn’t have to wait outside at all (this was quarter to 7.) Usually I have to wait for the election volunteer at the front desk to tell me what district I’m in, even though I know already. In an effort to get people moving, they finally let people who knew where they were going just go into the school where we were voting.

My name was in the voting book!!!!! You don’t know how exiting that was!

I was in and out in 10 minutes. Everyone was very kind and seemed happy to see that so many people wanted to vote. All in all, the kind of experience I want when I want to do my civic duty.

Then I helped out the school where I voted by buying something from their bake sale. Smiles all around!

Now I’m going to watch a rented movie and not listen to anything about who our next president is until tomorrow.
