http://www.falongray.com/wp A look into my world... Sat, 18 Jul 2009 01:41:43 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So, throughout the summer I am full-time between the Butterworth and Blodgett campuses. In approximately 5 weeks, that will drop back down to 0.5 FTE (aka 5 days per pay period). I am elated and anxious at the same time. The paychecks have been super nice that is for sure ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=661 Before I met Eric I was a cynical, pessimistic and rather bitchy individual. LOL I can imagine people thinking "oh yeah, and what's changed?" but things have changed! :-P  I've worked really hard to be content with the things that I have - "It is better to want what you ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=659 Tonight Eric and I met Rebecca, Collen and Matt and headed to Forest Hills Public Schools for their Footloose play. Rebecca's boyfriend, CJ, was playing the drums for it and CJ's younger brother was actually in it. It was very entertaining and afterward we all went out to Applebees for ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=663 This afternoon, I woke up early from sleeping to get ready and head to downtown GR to meet Eric and a myriad of his friends and coworkers for dinner at HopCat. They have an awesome burger, crack fries and beer special for $5 - the service sucks but the food ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=655 Every night when Eric drops me off at work, he wanders around downtown and takes photos. He definitely got some good shots - just wish the result wasn't me getting left at work. I miss sleeping in during thunderstorms or just being holed up all warm and dry at home...listening to ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=653 I like to write to my Grandparent's on my Dad's side and have mostly been settling for cute cards for my words. I stopped at Meijer and asked if they had any stationary...and was led to the notebooks...like school notebooks. No thanks, been there, done that...in elementary school. Upon further ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=647 The last week, without fail, I called Eric every morning, in the middle of our morning rush of specimens, to make sure he was awake and getting ready to come and pick me up before he went into work. Every morning, I had to call numerous times before getting any ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=643 Well, this is usually one of my very favorite holidays. With my birthday, beautiful beach days and fireworks - what's not to like. Unfortunately, this year my birthday was mediocre, the weather was mildly chilly and rainy and I had to work, therefore missing the fireworks. Before all of that though, ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=650 Well, the breeder got back to me today and we now have a for-sure puppy. Previously to this, we were waiting between two, a large male with a black-and-white collar and a smaller male with a green collar. She chose the green male for us! :D She said that he's ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=645 I had been dreading this birthday for the last couple of months. No specific reason besides a vague feeling that I am not as...far as I had hoped to be by the time I turned 24...and one step closer to 25. Added to the fact that I also had to ... http://www.falongray.com/wp/?p=639
