one more, real quick...

Talk about me and the Irish goodbyes (I'm 1/4 Irish, I can say that!)....

I just got an image for myself, and it's a rabbit "done" in the style of the LOLcats at http://icanhascheezburger.com/.

I love the LOLcats and I love rabbits and I love message boards. One might even say I'm rabbit-like. That image/name/whatever has followed me throughout life. (Oooh, a future post!)

So I figured this picture would be most fitting for me and my blog. Yay!

Still here

Just very very very very very very very very very very very very busy these days, what with the semester wrapping up, work starting new projects, nice weather finally here and not wanting to be on the computer as much, etc.

Hope you're all doing well!

BTW, read Little Bee by Chris Cleave. SOOOOOOOOOOOO good.

Happy Easter!

Probably won't be on tomorrow, so wishing you all a happy Easter today.

In a few hours, DH and I will be going to church for the vigil service and having our basket of food blessed. My grandmother and I always did this when I was a little girl and I really looked forward to it. I haven't done it since she passed away when I was 12. DH's church does it, even though we're different rites, and he's never done it before. So a new beginning for the both of us.

Here's an explanation of what it is:

I'm such a librarian already! Providing info for people :-)

I'll try and post pics of our basket soon.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

SOOOO not getting much accomplished today...

And it's only Thursday. A few things to note:

1. I gained 2 lbs in a few days. Apparently that's what happens when you eat a TON of junk in a short time period. *roll eyes* I know this because my mom gave me a digital scale that she no longer wanted. Scales can drive you nuts! Part of me is glad that I now have one, and can keep VERY close tabs on my weight loss.

2. Annotated bibliography. Completed, printed, submitted. Now to start the "meat and potatoes" of the paper.

3. I have to work tomorrow, even though most people have it off. Not such a Good Friday, ha.

4. I broke my personal code of ethics and went to Facebook at work. I'm such a punk.

5. Tonight, DH and I are going to a laundromat because we are SICK and TIRED of our crazy laundry room at the condo complex. We are going out to eat too, so bonus!

6. My hair. I know you were waiting on that. I am going strong with the BS and ACV, and have started washing every other day. My hair looks BEST when I don't blow dry it (strange, I know) and it looks pretty good on the 2nd day of no washing. So going "no poo" can/does work! I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to do this.

7. Confession time. I have the fever. Most of you ladies should know what this means ;-) And those of you having babies now are NOT helping!!! LOL At least none of you live close by...or maybe that would help cool me off. Anyway, that's not going to happen because 1) DH needs a job (yes, still...and yes, I know it's been over a year) and 2) I have strict instructions from my endocrinologist NOT to even THINK about a baby until I'm healthier. So that's that. If anything, I'm more motivated to get into better shape.

Here's a pretty flower for y'all...almost time to go home!

Short school rant

I'm writing a paper that's due at the end of the month. Topic: social networking used to market the library. Pretty good topic, especially in today's world, right? Sure.

I'm having a bear of a time because 1) I haven't written a research paper in forever, 2) there is SO much stuff out there about this topic, and I'm not sure what to weed out, and 3) I feel like a bumbling fool, just reading and making notes...and not sure if I'm even on the right track for this paper.

Blech.

I'm sure all will be fine in the end, but man, I hate not knowing if I'm doing the right thing. I hate that "free fall" between getting the assignment and getting your grade. It's all up in the air.


Okay, off to get ready for Mass...DH and I are going early to do confession today. I haven't been in a few weeks, and before then, I hadn't been since before the wedding! I used to not like confession, and actually didn't go for years...but I think when you have a priest who doesn't make you feel like a jerk, it's better.

Kinda sad

I found out yesterday that my friend's sister and brother in law are getting divorced. It just hit me oddly, and made me super sad, even though I don't know them very well.

I know people who've divorced, and I know people who've been on the brink of divorce (but worked it out)...but I guess this was more of a shock because it was so sudden. It was even sudden to my friend and her family. Totally out of the blue. They'd been married 3.5 years, and had dated for a few before that. Always seemed happy and in love.

Just makes you think, if it happened to them, it can happen to anyone.

Yup, another hair post.

Yesterday (Tuesday) things seemed pretty good in the hair department. Washed with BS and rinsed with ACV, and the hair dried fine and all was well.

Today...oh dear.

I decided to just wash with BS and NOT rinse with ACV. It's almost 10 and my hair feels like it did back when I first started and was using BOTH products daily. I don't know if this is more adjustment or if I need to really use both products every day. The hair felt clean after washing with BS this morning, so I decided not to rinse with ACV.

We'll see how I look tonight. I do have baby powder for the greasies, if need be. I also have static!!! It's very odd. LOL
