Hey I'm Cherry Ghost

Okay, so the last time I posted was forever ago. Since last time, I went to Chicago and hung out with Emily, and also Ross and Rebecca=) I quit Kitchen Art, also.

I don't want this blog to turn into a ramble of past events, but I have been able to talk to my friends, visit family, laugh, cry, and tons of other things.

Thanksgiving was different this year. Still can't quite put my finger on what exactly made it odd. But on the drive back to West Lafayette, I didn't even sing out loud in my car until I got to the West Lafayette exit. I just spent most of the time thinking about how it seems that my brothers and I are not close and as far as right now, we may never be. It seems our parents are the only thing that link us together. We don't share any common interests and if you were to put the three of us together it wouldn't make a lot of sense. But I suppose a lot of families run into this problem. It's just sad. And then seeing my mom and dad argue is a downer. I thought things were getting better for them and it feels just like it did five or so years ago. Bleh.

The fun and exciting news is that we get to add another soon-to-be mom on the list...Jen Reppert is having a baby!!!!!!

What else...trying to get my Christmas list together, I have the names and items I would like to get for each person, but there's just one thing missing...$$$$.

Other than that, hope to get some reading and writing done in my spare time since I am back to just Starbucks. Got lots of ideas for short stories, just need to sit down and write!!!!

Much Love!

Young and Hungry

I don't know why I am taking the time to blog, I have a burrito waiting for me in my car, that's right a Triple Lindy with tofu and pinto beans...mmmm!

But here I am. Things are going well it seems since last time I blogged. Just finding it hard to find enough time for everything. Good news though, Scott called me back yesterday and said he could switch with me the 19th of this month, so Chicago here I come! I am very excited about it (I get excited about a lot of things=)), Emily is going up with me again and we are going to hang out with Ross and Rebecca after I visit a few schools and then we also have plans to go to IKEA. So yay.

Still haven't heard back about meditation, whether or not I have the okay from Abby. But hopefully soon. Let's see...just printed off a coupon from Borders for 30% off any cookbook, how great is that? Might buy Dave Lieberman's book.

To everybody, I love you, miss you lots, and hope to see/talk to everyone soon!

Much Love!

Perfect Situation

The new Weezer video is to play on MTV2 off and on all day on Friday the 11th. So that will be fun. Elisha Cuthbert is in it as well as fans who did extra little parts.

Work is going okay at the jobs. So I am only 23, but I am already anticipating the time when I can work less...heh. Big plans for next weekend, visiting two schools in Chicago (that is if Scott will switch me shifts, I got scheduled on the Saturday that I requested off for Chicago...boo!) and then Johnson and Wales will have ppl in Indy on Sunday so that will be awesome. The stuff I've read on their website sounds pretty awesome and they have a culinary nutrition program there which would be great.

Still don't know if I will be able to go to my meditation course in January. I got confirmation from the one in Massachuesetts, but I told Abby that I could switch to the one in Illinois so that it would take up a couple of less days, but I need to know soon since they like to have ppl confirm for sure within four weeks of the course. If not MA in January (not looking likely) I definitely want to go in the summer. I think the weather will be more pleasant. But I do like me some snow and cold weather...=D

Listening to Jesus, Etc...yay Wilco!

So still trying to find a cool bookshelf for my apt. I need some organization ASAP! But I think I may just ask my dad to help me build one...I should look it up on that DIY website. Seems I keep buying books and cds...need to stop, since I am like a million books behind, eeks! The ones I need or would like to finish soon are Wicked, a few Laurie Notaro books, one I borrowed from Ed about coffee, and then two from Hillary - When God Writes Your Love Story and When Dreams Come True. Plus I have books of my own that I need to finish!

Side Note: The love of my life I think is moving ahead with what seems to be his future wife...*sigh*
