Happy Freakin' Monday!!!! YUCK!!!! I had a great day with dad yesterday...GO PATS!!! That was a great game...and I was soo happy to give it to all the dolphins fans down here....DAD and i have decided to have Thanksgiving dinner @ home..he is gonna make a prime rib roast...mmm...ok so I have a question...we have an abbreviation for Christmas (X-mas)..which makes texting and writing easier..but why don't we have one for Thanksgiving?...turkey day is still so long...any suggestions?....how about T-day....T'ing....T'anks....gonna gain a ton day???...hee hee....undo your top pants button day....wear elastic waist pants day....puke to eat more day....I am sure Katie has a few good suggestions....how about ..Eat, sleep,Eat day????...anyways, I am still trying to finish writing my thesis but i'm somewhat unmotivated today....I start the new job in a week...can;t wait to be sleep deprived...lol....oh well, i guess i gotta grow up at some point in my life....enjoy ur turkey, gonna gain weight, undo your button day.

Well, here's the latest news from MIA....I actually got the job as a medical writer/editor..I am so psyched...especially since it was the first and only job i interviewed for...sadly, after sending out about 3o resumes, I only got 1 interview..luckily, it resulted in a job..woo hoo for me...I start on Dec 1...I am trying to finish writing my masters thesis by that time...I am getting excited about the holiday season coming up..although I don't know why because they ain't like they used to be..no big family dinners..no presents....no christmas lights (at least not at my house) and my dad does minimal decorations with the piece de resistance ..a ceramic xmas tree..lol...oh well, it marks the coming of the new year and I am excited about starting on a new chapter in my life...I will have thanksgiving dinner with Dad..we will either go out for prime rib or stay home and have a boiled dinner (at my request)..i know..it isn't really thanksgivingy to eat a boiled dinner but thanksgiving is just like any other day for us...and making a big turkey dinner is kinda a lot to do for 2 people...although usually once a year we do make a turkey dinner but we only roast a turkey breast ( no not the processed turkey crap)...holidays feel like just another day probably because Dad and I have a sunday dinner together every week....we have fun cooking together and watching football, baseball, or some old movie on tv...it's fun to be able to go HOME whenever I want to...Dad and I are alot alike and we have become alot closer in the last few years ...since I have moved to Florida..t's really cold here right now (63 degrees at night)..lol..I have been sleeping with my windows open..I am so happy that I can wear a sweatshirt for a few days a year..lmao...sorry that you are probably freezing your asses off in MA and NH....one great thing about it is that no matter how cold it gets here, the sun still shines all day...no dreary, cloudy days...well, all else is well in my little world....hope all is well in yours...happy turkey day everyone...don't eat tooooo much (yeah ok, likes that even possible)....

Bad Blogger

Ok, so I am a really bad blogger.....it's obviously been some time since I have posted...please forgive me....I will try to do better....anyways, here's the latest in my life.

I recently decided to leave school and take my master's degree instead of staying for a few more years ( 7 years in graduate school is enough for me)...time to move onto real life ( I can't stay a student forever--and I no longer want to.) I am in the process of writing my thesis and plan on graduating in Dec...hooray for me....accordingly, I have been on the job hunt...oh yeah fun, fun, fun...I have been applying for several types of jobs...science teacher, scientist, science writer...I got my first interview on thursday...it's a medical writer/editor job for a company that writes continuing education programs for physicians and nurses....the interview went great and I has to do a 2 hour skills test...i had to write an article on a topic of their choice, create a powerpoint presentation for the article and edit a 3 page document...i wasn't very confident about my skills test...however, I received an email on friday asking me to come in for a 2nd interview with president of the company...the company is run by a woman and the office consists of only 1 male...poor basterd...I am hoping being a woman gives me an edge..never thought that would be the case in the job place...

The family is all doing well....I still go visit my dad every sunday..we cook together...home cooked food (((mmmm) and of course, I get to do my laundry (for FREE!!!!)...my nephew nicholas recently had gastric bypass surgery..at his highest weight he was about 450 lbs...at 24 being that big really sux ( and I freak out about having to lose 20lbs)...anyways, a year later he is down to 240 lbs..and looks great...he recently visited and he looks awesome...he will soon have surgery to remove his excess skin and that will result in about a 25-30 additional weight losss....awsomer...I am so happy for him...he owns a tanning salon in danvers and his business is doing phenomenal....everyone else inthe family is status quo....

I am so excited to start the new year in a new phase of my life...I can't wait to be more settled and to be able to have more balance in my life....being a grad student requires all of your time..I hope to be able to get out and exercise more, blog more, draw more....but I suspect I will stay as lazy as ever...we will see..anyways, that's all I have for now...

Happy Birthday Mary.......P.S.. cchecked out your blog this morning and I think you still look the same as when you were in high school...you and billy both look good....
