Sometimes, I love my job.

Breaking in the new couch, table and chair no one is allowed to touch by a roaring fire on the High School Highlight Reel.

Apple Butter!

Mmmmmm....apple butter! I love family traditions that come back. Such good times I had when I was little everyone getting together and stirring a bubbling cauldron of apple butter-goodness, tasting all the time. Spending an entire day with the family, eating, talking, relaxing. Good times. I'm glad we got to do this again this year. Not only was I missing apple butter, but it's good to be with family! Although, I did get tired of hearing the story of when I was little and the cinnamon in the apple butter was really strong and burned around my mouth.

Hello America!

The long awaited day has finally arrived! Luis is now an American citizen! All the paperwork and applications and interviews are over! Yay!

how to make a thesaurus

For one of my grad school classes I have to construct a thesaurus on a specific topic that could be used for indexing. I chose sailing cause I love it. The terms have to be related hierarchically and so in order to keep track of them I wrote them on index cards and hung them up on the wall. Luis enjoyed them very much. And it made me feel smart, like the guys with their boards of equations in The Big Bang Theory. hahaha. Anyway, when I took them off of the wall to type them Luis was very upset. But I am almost finished with my project, I just have to type up the introduction, and I am very happy.

In a side note, I just watched like 4 Christmas related commercials....
