i mean, really...i can't be expected to blog while i'm on vacation, right? besides, my home computer is in the basement and it is fuh-reeezing there. at any rate, here i am checking in live from the arctic inner sanctum.
despite it being cold, i've been enjoying my vacation very much. i hosted a dessert swap and made peppermint bark brownies, sock-it-to-me cake, oatmeal raisin choc chip cookies, and also a spinach & turkey lasagna as well as spinach dip. things were shaky at one point but by the grace of god everything turned out delicious. and there is still dessert left. i love hosting parties!
i also got to visit friends and family. my roommate's sisters held a scrapbooking party to collect memories for her daughter (she's such a little cutie!). my aunt made a sunday dinner for us and sent us home with a boatload of food. we spent christmas with my mom at her friend's house and both of them sent us home with food. i think they all believe we're here starving since my mom left. if i play it right i won't have to cook until tuesday or wednesday.
best of all though, i've met someone that i like a lot. like FINALLY! i can honestly say that i'm happy. yay for me :)
oh and i got to hit up woodbury commons for the first time. great outlet shopping. i probably bought too much. i can't (meaning i don't feel like) post(ing) pictures but i'll just say shoes, handbag, jeans, sweaters, blouse, serve ware, springform pans...holler.

match dot com is wack
© the mixmaster
okay so like this past january my homie and my sister convinced me to sign up for match. never one to pass up a bargain, i reluctantly paid $20 for a six month subscription. now they have this six month guarantee where if you don't find someone in six months they give you another six month for teh FREE. being the jackass i am i was determined to get my six free months - not because i wanted to be on there for six more months but because it was for teh FREE. needless to say, i got my free six months.
while many others have had success on match, i am not able to say the same. the most i've gotten is a phone call. i have a theory about why this is so but i'll save it for another time. at any rate, earlier this month i got all pissy about the current state of my dating life and was going to update my pictures and profile but something weird happened. men who weren't old enough to be my grandpa and could actually form complete sentences began emailing me. my hope was restored!
still nothing has popped off yet but i'm optimistic. most recently i've been emailing back and forth with this one guy who seems cool and funny. just minutes ago i got an email from him with his telephone number suggesting i give him a call. he made sure to mention that the female on his voicemail is his sister.
for real, son?
i mean...
really??

things fall apart
i'm grumpy today for a number of reasons. the most important being one of our instruments is down at work and i can't figure out wtf is wrong with it. my coworker who is normally responsible for the machine is on vacation in taiwan (visiting family) and not due back until next week. meanwhile i have samples to analyze. and now the autosampler on the dsc is acting up too. this isn't as big an issue because i can just disable it and run the samples manually but umm...why everything gotta wait until i'm here on my own to start messing up???
i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the concert preparations. the photographer i really wanted to hire is way out of our budget so we'll most likely have to do with someone else. i haven't been on top of getting sponsorship like i should've been and now it's probably too late to get much of anything. my personal number went out with the press release so my phone will be incessantly ringing with strange numbers (the first was last night at 10pm - excuse me but 10pm is not a decent hour to be calling anyone you don't know personally). i know most of my anxiety is due to my pessimistic attitude so i'm trying to calm myself down.
lastly, i joined match.com for real for real last week. so far my profile has been viewed 25 times and i've gotten one email. my stats are terrible. but just browsing through profiles i didn't see a whole lot of ppl i'd be interested in. sean says i'm just gonna have to get some the old-fashioned way. i think he means pay for it.
