It is still raining! I can't believe it! I'm not too mad, because I've been busy with work, gym and lots of volunteering:) I also got to use my cool purple rainboots today!
This past weekend was really good - attended my cousin's bridal shower and took a ton of pictures/video! I have to post to Facebook. I am so slacking on the FB posting, but hopefully Sunday night will afford me the opportunity to do so. Another great event was my friend Mike McNeil's Pub Crawl. Mike passed away in March after a long battle with cancer. He was an amazing person and his spirit stills lives on. The brothers of Sig Tau Gamma organized a fabulous pub crawl which raised over $5,000!!!! Great job guys:) I think the goal will be to eventually spread this across the US and give others the tools to organize charity pub crawls too. I actually bought the domain name "Let's Kick Cancer's A$$", so hopefully we can get something going. Today is another special day because it's my childhood BFF Holly's 24th bday. Happy Birthday girl! Holly recently passed away in March, and it was a very sad day. I know she's always watching over me and was such a wonderful girl:) I'm so thankful for all the amazing people in my life!
Speaking of which...tonight I'm going to Worcester to see Melissa and Angela to help plan their upcoming birthdays! The theme is casino, and I'm personally excited because I've never been to a casino! We're going to Mohegan Sun in CT, with a casino-themed pre-party at a nearby hotel. There are a ton of great ideas floating around so I'm excited to pull it all together!
Had my Alumni Association meeting Monday night - a lot of interesting topics and many planning meetings for July! More on that later:)
Ok, it's lunch and I'm super hungry. Trying to load up on salads and avoid french fries:)

Time warp!
Oh my god...it's 2009! It's been FOREVER since I've posted..seriously!
A million and one things have happened since then. Went on SB09 (so awesome!). Still working as a Systems Engineer, doing educational outreach and lots of volunteer work. I still thing my true calling is as an event planner AND as an engineer. It's crazy. More on that later. I can finally identify with Hannah Montana.
Kernel is SO big now...an extra fluff-tastic! Still has that goofy pink nose. And still loves her pink pig and mousie.
Great new things...I joined my HS Alumni Association (Shawsheen Tech!), am the Scholarship Chair and this year, for the first time...I gave my very own two scholarships! I'll be posting those quite soon. I also joined the Board of Directors for Project Smile, and am working to support fundraising activities, organizing a charity 5K and expanding our reach into NH:)
I'm also trying to be a more regular person at the gym, as those many awesome nights of eating Coldstone icecream and dining on delicious dinners with Nav (<3) are catching up to me:) No worries...I've got a great gym buddy Meggles and lots of running with Melissa, so getting back into Tinkerbell form will be no sweat (or actually a lot of sweat..but you get the idea).
Contemplating ideas for children's books, a fiction book for young women and lots of other ideas!
Just finished my 5th WPI class for my MS in Systems Eng. I've been looking at Ph.D programs in SE so I can perhaps teach later, but that's a lot farther down the road. I loved in HS when we were making our 5-yr plans..it was so easy back then! Go to college...check. Get your Masters? In progress. Engineering is one of those fields where there's just SO much to choose from, it can be great but also overwhelming. It's not a defined career path like accounting or nursing, which are GREAT fields, but I guess I feel that you can go for a CPA or get your NP and then keep working. I suppose it's the same for engineering or whatever you do...just sometimes I think that there isn't a defined path to follow, you sort of need to create your own.
Speaking of paths, I feel that lately I have a ton of creative and organizational energy. It can be difficult to find a good medium to express that, and I'm really glad that I'm super-involved now with the Alum Assoc. and Project Smile!!
It's very rainy this morning...I'm going to become the cruise director of whatever arc is being built:) I have been wearing my cool rainboots though! I really want these super cute candy rainboots from Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC! Girl after my own heart with all of that fabulousness! Definitely check it out:)
More gym time tonight..delicious leftover salmon and salad for lunch (yum!), getting a new iPhone and Katie's bday tonight! Oh, and throwing my awesome little interns a pizza lunch today.
TGIF!

If there is a way...
I never thought I'd be able to top my last spring break...but it happened!!! Best time ever:):) :) Although I am happy to be back...and have my tolerance to certain beverages decreasing every day...I can't help but wish I was back on those sandy beaches! It's been a bit cold up here in NE..a few good days last week, and of course I made every effort to put the convertible top down.
At work...eek!
Very excited for softball tonight!! I am in a league at work...will explain more later obvi! Will continue to text Scarlet the rest of the day.
And as a note...I usually wear a lot of pink to work..but today for some reason, I managed to wear a pink button up, pink sweater and pink shoes. Glorious:)

Holy 10 months!
It's been that long (seriously) since I last posted. Woa. I am inspired by my friend Catherine who also blogs (I heart Project Smile!) and who I'm having dinner with in two nights to catch up. Yeahh! I have a small kitten Kernel, who by a series of events I would rather not discuss, is also having kittens. She's currently running around my apartment playing with her pink toy pig. Yikes! Spring Break part 2 is coming up in less than 2 weeks!!! I can't believe its been so long...oh boy I miss it:)
You have no idea how excited I am. I promise I will try to blog more! But for right now...it's Melissa, me, Krisi and Megan..and obviously the entire population of young southern men;)

So i got a job...
And then I bought a house. Legit. It's a 915 sq/ft slice of heaven. I got an amazing job offer from a very cool company---and had to celebrate. Some people buy shoes...I buy property. Simple as that.
Oh and I also bought lots of furniture to fill my little condo, but more on that later.

SFO---Here we GO!
So I just booked tickets for mine and Nikki's flight out to San Fran!! I am very excited---it works out awesome because that Friday is an off day at work and I'll just take Monday as a vacation day:) I will probably need to let them know that now, but I can't wait! I will represent BAE well:)
Soooo now that I have tickets...I need to get things in gear. Like soon. Hmm. The other night I went to the gym + tanning as I was still inspired by all of the spring break-edness. Running was actually amusing because there was this guy who kept checking himself out CONSTANTLY in the glass windows. I had fun with it.
This week has been exhausting, scary and tiring. I think I'll just right out with it and say what a creep I am. But Melissa's a creep too. I won't say why...but if you knew us this week, and maybe you live in 308, you damn know why. What creeps we are. And I'll admit something else...I actually got a Myspace account which I am brutally opposed to. We are NUTS. Two crazy Boston gals. Hmmmm....
Needless to say, I need to get my butt into running again. It's the most amazing release of my life. I love running. It's quite distracting, which, let's face it, I need right now.
Here's to hoping my week is less painful!
Oh and I'm quite proud of myself because I learned how to dial long distance today---across the ocean to London:) And I got pre-approved for a mortgage. And I started looking at puppies. But just dont' forget, I'm a creep-o and you should remind me of that REPEATEDLY. Until next week at least when I get over this mess. Oh Daytona....
