Yesterday BFF and I planned to go shopping for a few essentials and splurges (see my previous post). When I got to her house to pick her up, she said she had a surprise for me.
She opened a box from Amazon.com and handed me the new Hungry Girl cookbook! How cool was that? [...]

Best laid plans…

I didn’t do half of the things I thought I was going to do this weekend, for a variety of reasons:
No Annie Lebowitz exhibit with CBCB because of my TOM & cramps (sometimes I HATE being a girl!)
No Indiana Jones movie with my dad because the first theatre sold out and there was no parking [...]

Given that this weekend there are three whole days to catch up on housework, workout, go places, be with friends, and enjoy life, I’ve decided to get out there and do some of it.
Friday night
work out with BFF (done)

Tonight I went to SF (two nights in a row!!) to go to Jen Lancaster’s book signing for her new book, Such a Pretty Fat.
I was so excited to go to the Books Inc. in the Marina district of SF because it’s been over 2 years since I’ve gone to a book signing, and I [...]

Yesterday was one of the best afternoons/evenings of my life. I hosted a graduation party at my house to celebrate CTLB and I receiving our Masters degrees.
Whenever I have a party, I always go a little bit crazy beforehand making sure everything is ready: cleaning the house, shopping for food, getting decorations, and [...]

It’s finally over!!! I’ve graduated with a Masters degree in Educational Leadership! Whoooo HOOOOO!
Tonight CTLB and I gave our final exhibition presentation, which went wonderfully well. We got great feedback from our evaluator, as well as our peers.
Then during the graduation ceremony Glenn Singleton, one of our adjunct professors and a leading [...]

The day I’ve been thinking about for the last 2 years is almost here. All the money, all the papers, all the iMovies, all the surveys, all the planning, all the meetings, all the fieldwork, all the missed social engagements, all the reading, all the all-nighters.. have all been for this one day.
TOMORROW I [...]
Surprise, Surprise!

For the last month or so, CTLB’s mother and I have been exchanging emails. She wanted to come out to CA from Connecticut to surprise CTLB for our upcoming graduation on Monday. She suggested that I ask CTLB out for a celebratory drink, and she’d be able to walk into whichever bar we were at [...]
I can almost hear the angels singing…
Posted in excitement, friends, grad school, journey, life, relief, tagged almost done, angels singing, sunshine on a cloudy day on May 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I was joking with CTLB the other day and told her that after finishing our professional development plan and the last paper for class the other night, I expected angels to sing and the sun’s rays to break through the clouds. I was sort of disappointed with not feeling more relieved.
Now I know that [...]
