Millions of peaches...

I'll be honest: I think the movie "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" has a good plot. And then I wonder if I would erase anyone? Hm...sounds like a good idea at first, but then I wouldn't be where I am today, right?

Also, I'm offended by people who take my "things." Like if I were a person who canned peaches, I would want to be "the person who canned peaches" and then someone else goes along and "cans peaches" after I already was doing it. It's just not right. Maybe it's a little irrational, since many people can can peaches...but YOU. Quit canning peaches, that's what I do. It didn't bother me when you made strawberry jam. I was fine with that, I made fun of you, but was still fine with that and then you go ahead and start canning peaches and now I'm done! I will however continue canning peaches and do it much better than you.

I'm leaving on a jet plane...ah, iTunes I love you.

GLACUHO

Hello friends and family,

I'm writing from Fort Wayne, IN, what a great state, with great views of flat land and highway. However, this is the home of Vera Bradley and I happen to own many of those purses.

I'm also at a conference for Housing professionals and it's great. I'm working on a Conference Programming Committee, which has allowed me to know others and work on the planning of programs during the conference.

I present tomorrow :) on suite-style living and community building--get excited! :) My wonderful, amazing supervisor (Matt I know you're reading this...) has presented today!

The best part about GLACUHO is that it reminds me about what I do and the impact that I hopefully make on students. I've been able to think deeply about what the next step is and where I may be heading professionally. While everything may not be very clear, I know that I enjoy what I do and I'm so thankful for that. I owe quite a bit to my parents who always supported me and pushed me. So thanks mom and dad...even though you don't read my blog...

I'm also excited to be heading home for Thanksgiving! I love me some Pribek food. :)

Until I post again...so long...

Ruby is getting old.

My little Saturn, Ruby, didn't want to start today. Hm....I hope she doesn't die and I hope I don't have to pay tons of money to fix her. Feel better, Ruby.

I love AZ!!!

Just two small town crazy girls...

Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable but small. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave?
