Applications and Allergies

so apparently I have been neglecting my blog writing responsibilities... but its just that i dont really even have anything to say.

I DIDNT go to Aix this weekend cause it wouldnt have been worth my time. So no puppy for Becca =( Instead, I went to Elena's on saturday night and spent the night with her. We had a great time telling eachother all bout our vacations and we went and ordered a pizza... and came back and watch the Princess and the Frog.. which i think is in theatres now or .. at least is in Europe, but Europeans steal movies over here like crazy. So, we watched that, and then woke up the next morning and had a lazy morning til i came back around 3. By that time, Linda and Graham had already left for Nice for the night, cause Grahams flight was leaving the next day. So, he's gone and things are back to normal

Yesterday and today have been very uneventful. I went to the grocery store and probably spent more money than i should have on pretty much anything meat I could find. I made my second corndog casserole with the cornbread mix my mom mailed me. I also made PB and hershey kiss cookies. I guess i have been spending more time than normal cooking in the kitchen, but when your bed is IN the kitchen, (sorta) its kinda easy to get motivated to make stuff. =) it's been fun and yummy. I CAN say that i have offically prety much learned how to cook now. I want a grill though.

Drama has been going on with the wedding stuff. The lady who was supposed to make erin's cake AND the DJ fell through, so we are having to deal with that. AND trying to make sure i have everyone's address for the wedding invitations. We already sent out the Save the Dates which is exciting ( a big thanks to Aaron and Mom!).. if you are reading this and DIDNT get a save the date, don't worry.. youre obviously still invited, but youre just so involved in my life that i figure youve prob memorized the date by now. (JUNE 26TH, BY THE WAY) YAYAYAYAYAYAY! 117 DAYS.

53 days til i come home. If i had my way, it would be 12. Just enough time to close out everything and make preparations to come home.... and mail a box full of stuff home. I only have to teach like 4 more weeks, anyways. Its not like id miss much =)and id get so much done if i came home now lol. Two weeks of my time here (first two weeks of april) will be vacation but im not going anywhere to try to save any money i possibly can. Then, i go back for ONE week of wrap-up and then i get to come home. There just seems to be so much going on right now at home.. and if i were there, it would make things alot easier on me...... and i could finally get my neck checked out which has been giving me so much freaking grief. I would also like to be there Especially for a VERY CLOSE friend of mine who is having some health issues and will be undergoing surgery in a couple of days. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers please. ok. no more negativity.

Apparently i am violently allergic to whatever has decided to bloom here. IT is getting pretty ridiculous, the amount of tissues i have gone through. I just sit here with my cross stitch in my lap and a pile of tissues forming at my feet. Literally that has been my life lately. lol, but im making fabulous progresson Erin's stocking. Ask Erin. or Mom. They've seen it via Skype. Today, I WAS motivated to finish filling out most of my online application for shelby county and I updated my resume. After I officially submit my application for Shelby County, my plan is to mail a copy of my resume to several private schools and just explain to them that I would have brought it by in person but that I am currently in France ( maybe that will make me look good) and wont be back til May 1st, but that i would LOVE to get together with them after that point to discuss any employment opportunities and to discuss everything that I have to offer to such a fine academic establishment such as ( fill in blank of said private schoool)... ok really i prob wont use those exact words but you get my drift. See? if i were home , i could be taking a more active role in finding a job for next year. lol ok I said i would stop.

I was SUPPOSED to go to a lady's house for lunch tomorrow, but the lady who was supposed to take me backed out, so now the dinner has been post-poned. Let's see... what else. I wanna make sure I keep those of you who asked me for a blog satisfied. uhhhhh.. our towels and dishes at macy's are like 75% off if you wanna go buy me a wedding present lol. I always get nervous when they go on drastic sale cause i get afraid they will be discontinued. Macy's always has sales though. One week, my BEAUTIFUL china coffee pot (which erin got mad at me for for registering for cause it was so expensive and according to him, had no good purpose )which normally is a ridiculous 250 dollars or somethinglike that (see? told ya erin was mad) was on sale for like 85. i dunno. Maybe Macy's is have ing an "end of winter "sale? although, apparently winter is still going on there. Erin said it was snowing some this morning. today it was a beautiful 24 degrees out (celsius).... but i was too afraid to go out too much cause of my allergies. I have claritin but it makes me droopy.

ok really that's all i got. Wish me luck. Love to all and gros bisous!
