i sure do like those christmas cookies, sugar..

at 12/20/07 3:20PM

I'm a baking/shopping machine today. Since finals dropped me off in the middle of december, I'm rushing to get everything done. But there's always time for cookies.

Puppy chow, ginger cookies and good ol' chocolate chip. I'm doubling all the recipes to bring some to work tomorrow night because I keep wanting to bring snacks and I never do.

Tonight my sister has a Christmas Party with her work, so Harry will be around the house til later. I think he's going to get a kick out of baking cookies together! I love being an aunt. :)

Hope you are all having fun holidays :)

oh ghrayne roberts (is that how you spell his name? oh well)...seriously though, you would think after being a member at that congregation for like, 8 months now they'd know my name. but at least they got my first name correct, right? come visit sarah and me asap!

by lasalsadekerry at 06/13/08 11:41AM
aww, thank you! i had to change it back to the stud for work, but hopefully you miss that one too. and i miss you!

by lasalsadekerry at 06/17/08 11:53PM
haha, not so much as an eventful summer as it has been an eventful weekend attempting to do damage control to something i wasn't supopsed to know about. :) but it's better, for now at least. and i move back down in a few weeks, so let's plan to hang out!

by lasalsadekerry at 09/02/08 1:09PM
THIS is great news. When are you coming?

by sweett at 09/07/08 9:42AM
I will be in town those days. Thanksgiving's at my house this year. You should stick around!!

by sweett at 09/08/08 3:28PM
you are the absolute best. see you this weekend! :) and then i'll be down for good on either the 22 or 23. so you may begin your countdown accordingly.

by lasalsadekerry at 09/09/08 8:43AM
ok. i. am. back. in. orange. county. see. you. soon. miss you!

This is a Flip. It's an inexpensive, easy to use video recorder. Great for making videos to post on YouTube, for vlogging, or just home video type stuff. Kinda cool, I think.

How are you these days?

by nickomundo at 10/15/08 3:43PM
I'm good, too. I've been doing information management, which is kind of like a glorified librarian for electronic documents. It has its moments, but for the most part it's pretty mundane. BUT(!) I've been doing some web design work here and there and was recently approved to get certified on Adobe's Design Premium Suite of tools. I've been waiting for CS4 to be released, but now that it's out I'll hopefully get to start taking some classes, so I'm excited about that.

I'm glad to hear you're nearing the end. Are you currently looking for a job somewhere? Does everybody ask you that? Any temptations to pursue a PhD? :^)

by nickomundo at 10/15/08 9:00PM
I agree. It's like VCR/DVD players.

by nickomundo at 10/15/08 10:17PM
crazy crazy crazy. danny matchniff sent out an email to people from church letting every one know what was going on...i'm glad the news reports were just saying it was a false alarm or something.

by lasalsadekerry at 10/23/08 12:06PM
please update this - if only to give me something to occupy my time instead of reading about how mckinley was murdered by an anarchist. kthanks.

by lasalsadekerry at 10/24/08 1:41AM
your comment definitely made me laugh out loud. although i'm afraid it came out more of a cackle. i'll have to work on that. hahahahahahahaha. and the creepy hitler guy didn't murder me last night. thanks for caring. :)

by lasalsadekerry at 12/09/08 10:11PM
also, you know what happens when you assume. but yes, yes i do understand your hmmmm-ing.

by lasalsadekerry at 12/10/08 1:03AM
you are the best! and yes, marina is taking care of me. she even picked up pizza last night. :) i'll stop being contagious tomorrow, but i'm thinking we may need to postpone our lost party until next wednesday as a precaution. thanks so much for the soup offering though! i think i'm good for now - i don't want you to get sick!

by lasalsadekerry at 02/03/09 9:36PM
tobias and lindsay? nana and pop pop? i'm thinking these are all promising cat names.

by lasalsadekerry at 03/03/09 12:55AM
get me one too! :)

by lasalsadekerry at 03/16/09 4:14PM
and just when might your next trip through here be, my dear??? :)

by jamilo at 04/02/09 3:57AM
Susan! I was just going through some old blogs and i realized it's been sooo long since I've seen you! I miss you girl! I Hope everything is just great in your life! Let me know if you are going to be on this side of the US anytime soon! LOVE YOU!

Simply havin' a wonderful christmas time...

at 12/13/07 6:33PM

Time for an update.

The semester is over. YAY! But the last year of school is proving trickier than those before it. All kinds of forms and things that need to be filled out. Boo. I'm currently sitting in the Academic Advising office, waiting for my turn to get a form filled out. However, they are only open until 5 and my name may not be called by then. Boo!

Tonight we get a Christmas tree!! I love pulling out all the fun, silly and sentimental ornaments we've collected over the years. Our tree looks ridiculous with how many knick-knacks we put on it, but I don't care. It's home.

Lately, I've been collecting things that I will have for my own home someday. Christmas is no exception. I already have several ornaments from Italy, a couple from London and a set of nut-crackers my Gramma bought us all because they are just like the ones she had while we were growing up. It's so exciting to collect these things and look to future Christmases! :)

I'm making a huge batch of puppy chow for the kiddos at work. Does anyone remember the recipe off-hand?

Gonna get called in soon... gotta go!!

Happy Ho-Ho-Ho to you!

I know what you mean about collecting the ornaments you'll have on your tree for years to come... we've got a nice collection going, too:)

so, when ya moving to KY? ;)

by jesspico at 12/17/07 6:41PM
I hear you're moving to KY? ;) I think that is a great idea. I LOVE puppy chow!

by sweett at 12/17/07 9:45PM
yes yes you do. i was so sad i didn't even get to say hello when you were in town... i'm a bad friend... so come back and i will say hi!!!

by kyle at 12/18/07 3:21PM
its totally understandable... :)

by kyle at 12/18/07 5:47PM

by the way, i'm still here..

at 09/19/07 4:41PM

There hasn't been much to say since I got back from Italy. To answer the obligatory questions you ask someone who just studied abroad, here we go:

Yes, I'm happy to be home. Yes, I miss it alot. Yes, I got to travel all over Italy. No, I didn't really do the rest of Europe thing. Yes, I somewhat regret that. No, I'm not planning a trip back anytime soon. Yes, the food was great. Yes, I saw the David. and Yes, I speak Italian.

That should cover the basics and leave room for any more creative questions. :)

Meanwhile, a lot has happened in the last week or two. Well.. really over the whole summer but I'm only concerned with the last two weeks:

-No more Red Robin. Now I'm a Cheesecake Factory girl and I can tie a necktie like no body's business.

-School is great and busy and difficult. I love it.

-I'm now the Alumni Assistant for International Programs. Basically that means I help other people realize they can study abroad and help make it happen for them. Rock.

-I'm single again. We don't really need to talk about it.

And now for some exciting news...

I'm rollin into Bowling Green November 8th. I've missed you guys a lot and I figure it's time to visit whoever is left before you all move away and it's even harder to see you again...
Needless to say, i'm stupid excited.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!! I still live in BG, and I always will, so you can come year after year after year....;)

by sweett at 09/19/07 5:03PM
are you driving to bg or flying?

by naish at 09/19/07 6:31PM
flying. technically i'm flying into nashville and driving into BG :)

by susan at 09/19/07 7:20PM
OH! I want to see you in BG!!! But i'm not sure what my work schedule looks like for that time... we'll see what I can do...

by jamilo at 09/19/07 8:06PM
Good to hear from you. You know...BG's only four hours from us...hmmmm.

by nickomundo at 09/19/07 10:13PM
Are you in BG???

by sweett at 10/09/07 10:02PM
I'm amazing. I don't know what month it is. So see ya next month!! ;)

by sweett at 10/10/07 7:25AM
why hello there. i feel that our friendship is official since facebook, myspace, and now pleonast say so. :)

by lasalsadekerry at 10/29/07 8:37PM
Well, if you should find yourself with tons of extra time on your hands, I hope you'll call, then.

by nickomundo at 11/25/07 12:56PM
please update this beast so i have something to read on pleonast. love, kerry

by lasalsadekerry at 12/06/07 2:23AM
SUSAN B!!!

by juliawho at 12/09/07 12:44AM
Actuallly, the new Indy poster was created by the same dude (Drew Struzan) who did the originals, so it's not mimicry, it actually the genuine article!

by nickomundo at 12/13/07 10:32AM

Arrivederci...

at 05/19/07 9:07PM

Bittersweet, indeed.

This is me from Italy.. signing out.

*sigh*

Don't feel bad...America's got plenty of great Italian things. Pizza, Olive Garden, Rocky Balboa...you'll never know what you're missing.

by nickomundo at 05/19/07 9:59PM
Hey Suz! How's things? So, you're living abroad? Nice! Hope you're having a great time!

by sweetmelissa at 05/21/07 1:50PM
Hahaha... RIiiiiggghhht.

I'm SO excited you got to do this, Susan... so COOL!

by jesspico at 05/22/07 10:04AM
come to my wedding.

by terra at 05/26/07 10:26PM
Sorry I didn't see your comment until now...

How are you doing?

by nillabarr at 05/31/07 9:57PM
I know that your assimilation into Italian culture is going to make for a painful break but you could always come to SoCal camp (it will be so equal to the coolness of Italy..ok not a all) hope you had an amazing time, safe travels!

by pancake at 06/04/07 9:40PM
Hey Susan! This is Kaitlin Taylor... I have a question for you: Do you have the words to the "movie scene skit" that you and Lauren and someone else did in chapel one day? I think it was to announce the film festival... My camp friends need a Hollywood theme skit, and I thought that that one would be perfect! So if you could let me know if you still have the words, I would really appreciate it! I hope you're doing well!

by ktay at 06/12/07 10:37AM
aaaaaaaaand you're back! :)

by jenn at 06/25/07 4:11PM
hey girl read my page i want your opinion

by anniekittysinger at 07/14/07 11:51PM
ahhh i miss you too! i wish you would have come up to say hi! are you going to go to morro bay?? i think you should, and then i would get to see you and there'd be some amazing singing to go with it! :)

by sarahisaretard19 at 07/27/07 7:55PM
hi, and wow.

by lestryder at 08/29/07 4:00PM
Wow, as in your trip to Itlay sounded amazing, and the trip you took inside yourself while you where there. ^_^

by lestryder at 09/04/07 2:52PM
i know it's hard, adjusting back to the US. sigh. but i have a little package i've been waiting to send you . . .

by blueturtle at 09/05/07 4:37PM
it's a package i set aside after missing having you at the wedding. i loved my wedding. it was totally me and most people were like . . .
"Okay, that was wierd"
I think it had something to do with the funky Moby music and hardly anything traditional besides the fact that we got dressed up.
But you would have dug it.
i wanted you to experience it in some way.

by blueturtle at 09/06/07 9:49AM
Has your life settled down enough since you've been back to have time for a phone call? I might have time tomorrow. Maybe.

by nickomundo at 09/07/07 8:37PM

to quote Sally Brown and Lucy:

at 05/19/07 3:21AM

"Some people have said that we should live everyday as though it were the last day of our lives..

AHHHH HELP ME! THIS IS THE LAST DAY! I ONLY HAVE 24 HOURS LEFT!! HELP ME HELP ME!! THIS IS THE LAST DAY, AHHHHHHHHH!!!

Clearly, some philosophies aren't meant for all people."

Of all the revival songs, I wanted us to do that song the most.

Must be bittersweet to know it's your last day.
