Peanut butter = death?

No! More like ever lasting life!

I just realized that peanut butter I've been liberally spreading over my bread for pb&j sammies is the one that has been recalled. Yes I know I'm quite slow on the uptake but I bought it after the recall and so I figured the grocery store wouldn't have it on the shelf. I know I'm not in danger if I've been eating it for 2 weeks and have not had any symptoms of Salmonella yet. But, maybe I'm just ingesting a little bit at a time and slowly building up a tolerance and soon I will have gained super human strength. My strength will be stomach of steel! Yes! I see it now! Man! I've gotta make this peanut butter last so that I can continue gaining my tolerance. Just think I was gonna waste it on making peanut butter cookies for people but hell no now! It' all mine!!!

330 days

Jeff just got the tax package regarding Ireland. In order not to get charged American taxes on top of Ireland taxes, he cannot go back to the states for 330+ days. Boo! He's not upset but that means we are spending Christmas by ourselves and I'm kinda sad about that. What other surprises does this move have in store?

Waz up?

  • Ireland is getting closer.
  • I'm lonely at work.
  • It's going to be a busy weekend
  • Jeffrey's still sick
  • I'm uncomfortable in my work chair today
  • Something is amiss in the friends realm
  • Went to a pointless historic mortar/concrete workshop this week
  • Kate, Lindsey & Matt, Christa - all in town this weekend
  • Emily's b-day bash
  • Need to clean house
  • Want to eat an artichoke

Thought I would provide a outline of my week.

Hello Again

So I guess it has been absolutely forever since I've written here on this page. It's not that I'm particularly busy but I just don't feel inspired to write about my pretty mundane life. Jeff has suggested however that I get back in the habit of writing. Mainly I think to occupy himself while at work but also so that I have a written record of the goings on in my life.

So, what has happened since I last posted:

1. I did get the job that I interviewed for in Sept./Oct. I work 21 hrs a week as a Graduate Research Assistant for a Landscape Architecture professor. I'm helping with the digitizing of her slide collection. It is tedious work but I get to drink all the free tea I want! Oh and I get to scan bar codes with a laser gun thingy....very fun.

2. I'm in my last semester of school. I working on my thesis which is about the Adaptive Use of Religious Buildings. I've slightly changed to topic due to the 3rd item (see below) which will cause me to finish my thesis in the summer. I'm not the only one and so I don't feel to worried about that.

3. Jeff has interviewed and accepted a position with Dell Ireland. This has been a 3 month process with our original departure date set for March but things did not work out as smoothly as expected so its been delayed until June. He will be doing essentially the same position as here but with more money and in Ireland with a million of places to visit just a jump away. I can't wait!

4. Jeff and I celebrated our 6 monthaversary. I bought him a beer making kit and he bought me a pearl necklace. I think someone got the better deal!

5. We got a cat last year that we named Snoop Dogg. It is evil and likes to attack innocent people.

6. We celebrated another low-key Valentine's Day by exchanging handmade cards and painting pottery. Now we both have painted clay chalices (sp?).

Ummm...drawing a blank as to other things but that's about what has been going on. I'll write more in the future....gotta write all about Ireland or I'll forget all the fun things we'll do!

Later
