A lot went on so let me give you the run down...<div><br /></div><div>Graduate School (almost 1/2 way done), A New Home (we are here to stay for a while), Fish, Friends, Baking, Little Crafting (thank you graduate school), Building Furniture, New Spin Bike, Hiking, Biking, Running (lots of Running), GYM (me time), Kayak, SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board), Studying, Group Projects (oh how I love the group projects), Exams, Papers, Work (lots of that), Caltrain Commute, Button Pushing, Building a Planter Box, "Farming", Bicycle, And So Much More!</div><div><br /></div><div>So this year was busy mainly on the work and school side, but I'm still living. I have some goals for the year including getting back to the blog. There are 52 weeks a year which means I WILL blog 52 times! Minimum (you never know it might go a bit crazy). </div><div><br /></div><div>My others somewhat new years'y resolutions are:</div><div>1. Putting my clothes away when I get home (The boy is not a fan of me just putting it on the couch).</div><div>2. Packing my work bag the night before so I can get those few extra minutes of shut eye.</div><div>3. Wear my hair down a little more (or something other than a bun or pony tail)</div><div>4. Give the Boy an amazing 30th Bday party because he deserves it (He puts up with A LOT)</div><div>5. Learn some new skills to apply to the blog</div><div>6. Stay calm at work and keep a smile on my face (this is gonna be the tough one)</div><div>7.

Everyone thinks I need to start a blog just about my daily commute because something comical happens almost every day like a few months ago....<br /><br />I was standing on the platform waiting for the train when the man in front of me let one rip. I mean a loud tooter! I was in shock along with other passengers who had the look of "Did that really just happen?". Now the man who did this was wearing his headphones listening to music so I'm guessing if he cant hear it we cant hear it because he did it again a week later!The Home Ec Teachers Daugterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971303317974355346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281464984355192068.post-71107153350396155082011-03-31T07:39:00.000-07:002011-03-31T07:40:22.178-07:00swimmingI'm currently swimming in paperwork and school work please leave a message after the tone...The Home Ec Teachers Daugterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971303317974355346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281464984355192068.post-56202829930627025522011-03-09T19:12:00.000-08:002011-03-09T19:17:31.727-08:00When you leave me aloneWhen your BF leaves you behind for Sunny So Cal for a week and your stuck in cold overcast dismal Nor Cal what happens.

But it doesn't mean I haven't had any time to do anything. I have done a few things in the past while like moving to a new place, craft up some art for the wall, baked a little (the boxed brownies don't count), I finished a few non school books (girl with the dragon tattoo series, the alphabet sisters, just to name a few), all while passing my first quarter with flying colors. But enough of the talk right I'm sure you actually want to see what I have done lately? Or are you really out there reading this (sometimes I feel like my blog is like my professors boring). Well tomorrow Pictures I SWEAR of some of the things I have accomplished.<br /><br /><br />On an aside if you need a good laugh watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axur5W83znw&NR=1">THIS</a> video, compliments of a coworker who actually brought this <a href="http://www.amarula.com/">drink</a> to our holiday party and showed the video it was a HOOT!The Home Ec Teachers Daugterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09971303317974355346noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281464984355192068.post-68267275265581636252011-01-06T19:00:00.000-08:002011-01-06T19:07:41.312-08:00Ice Cream, Cinnamon, Sugar, and Banana BreadOh My...Yes I have found my new favorite thing!<br /><br />1.
