Part of me wants it to be over so that I can really move on with my life but I will miss everyone at Rutgers and as much as I complain I will miss the phone calls to ask me what they should do in certain situations cause im going to say it I still felt needed.
On another note my Aunt is coming for a visit. When I was younger I used to love it when she would come but she has now turned into a bitter old lady who complains about everything I mean everything and her son who thinks he is a profit will probably also be here and he is just creepy damn creepy oh and he is def not a profit I always meant to check and see if he was wearing black nike sneakers and getting ready to ingest something so that he can go to another planet and hang out on the clouds and write my grandmom letters that he knows she isnt the devil even though her birthday is on halloween but I digress.
I finished knitting the bag for my cousin with wonderful help from my love here is a pic
So even though I know that only one of my buddies will be reading this I thought she might enjoy this recipe from the show im watching of course.
