Ish's birthday bash weekend

Tired and Uninspired

Even though it's getting to be a lot nicer out I just haven't had the inspiration or time to go out and take pictures. In fact, I told the Inde I need to take a break for a while. Haven't shot anything real exciting for them lately... though I did take this pic with my camera phone while I was sitting in the car waiting for Ish at an antiques barn in Coxsackie:

I've gone for a few interviews and I'm actively looking for a job... STILL... but other than that, it's summertime and the livings easy. This weekend is Ish's birthday and next weekend I'm going to the city for a one year college reunion with my friends. It's been one year and I haven't accomplished anything. I can only hope that I don't get the "So what have you been up to since graduation?" question every five seconds, but I have a feeling that will be the question of the night. Just like when I was about to graduate last year... "So what are you doing with your life after graduation?" I want to make a difference. It's a nearly impossible thing to do. This one job I'm looking into right now at http://www.organicnectars.com/ is over in Saugerties. They're looking for an office manager and it seems pretty legit, but what makes me even more interested is the fact that Catskill Animal Sanctuary is in Saugerties too, and I've been looking for a reason to go over there at least one day a week to volunteer. Ah, whatever.

On a side note: The book Wicked is really amazing and wonderful and you should read it and I want to see it on Broadway realllllllllllllllllllllll bad.

ATTN!

Listen up!! Check out this link- http://rachel.ns.purchase.edu/~srace/centralpark.html PLEASE???!!!??? It's my final project from the photojournalism class I took at Purchase in late 2003/early 2004... when I was just feeling things out. And here are two pictures that were not on the slideshow that maybe should have been. A little teaser for you!:

Anywho.. I just found it all to be pretty entertaining. Leave me some comments!

Pokemon Monopoly.

Randomness

So I've been super busy working three jobs while trying to find another one so I can quit all the others. Hence the not updating in forever thing. It's a very disappointing process and it's kind of ruining my life right now, but I'm going for another interview on Tuesday. I'm not getting my hopes up though... If everything does work out I should be getting a 2 BR apt. in Hudson with Kate!!! Anywho, enjoy some pics, wish me luck, Happy Easter!

And this is what happens when you live in Columbia County too long.

May your days be merry and bright.

Couple pictures from Greenport Elementary's festival of wreaths and trees:

These girls were VERY excited when they found out their picture would be in the newspaper. So cute!
And this boy had frosting all over his lips, it was priceless.

Christmas is coming at me full force. I pretty much have every day BOOKED for the next week or so. All of my friends are coming home too, and it just feels like i don't have enough time for four jobs, family, friends and the holidays (parties especially). On the up and up, I'm completely finished with my Christmas shopping, and I got a call from the Dutchess County branch of Cornell Cooperative Extension yesterday asking me to come in for an interview for their senior administrative assistant position. Full time, $15 an hour plus benefits. Doubt I'll get it, but my plan is to keep looking while I stick with this job up on the mountain... when I do find something, it won't be very difficult for me to quit. At least I got to ski for free with my dad yesterday :)

Tonight we're going to see Super 400 up in Troy. Veryyy exciting, especially for my dad who has been a fan for about nine years and has only seen them live twice.

Tomorrow I'm going to Mehgan's snazz Christmas party. I won't have much time to get stuff together for it after work, but here's what i'm making... generally pretty easy stuff, no cooking involved!

-homemade guacamole

-goat cheese truffles

-proscuitto and melon

-cucumber rounds with chive sauce and smoked salmon

Yummm. While we're on the subject of tasty treats, I guess I should also mention that Sunday I'm going over to Heather's to bake cookies! Unlike last year, her oven actually works now, and also unlike last year I plan on drinking a decent amount of spiced egg nog.

Well, that's all for now, don't shoot your eye out or anything like that. Merry Christmas too all and to all a good night!
