Ladies and gentlemen (although I'm pretty sure it's just ladies - except for maybe my dad) - I have completed my first year of grad school! I finished my takehome exam last night, and now it's just burning a hole in my backpack until I can turn it in on Monday. I can't put into words how great it feels to be done! I'm not going to pretend that I spent every minute of the last year studying or learning, but that was always at the back of my mind. So now when I watch an SVU marathon for an entire day, I really don't need to feel guilty about it! But seriously, there are so many things I want to do now. First - there are two farmers markets I want to check out. I usually go to the one downtown every Saturday, but apparently there are two others - one on Tuesdays and one on Wednesdays. I also want to go to every orchard nearby and pick all of the fresh berries! I think I need to clear out freezer space just for that.
But right now, I'm just being lazy, and watching lots of tv and bad movies. I haven't been to the grocery store in a while, in part because I am trying to save money and clean out my pantry, and also because I just haven't had a lot of time. So I was hungry, and realized I had nothing convenient to eat. I have a ton of eggs, and I thought about making a frittata. But of course, I was not in the mood to actually chop anything to put in it. So I went the easy way - I made a big pan of scrambled eggs, and added in some jarred roasted peppers (I didn't even chop them, I literally tore them up right over the pan). But it was definitely delicious.
So I just want to remind you one last time to enter the giveaway! Today is the last day!
And happy mother's day to all of you mothers!

CONGRATULATIONS on your first year in grad school!! I know how it is, so I understand why you're happy. Keep up the great work.
It's always great to put a year behind you when it brings you closer to your goal. I'll be back often to see how you are doing. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
Nope, I began reading your blog recently as well and I believe I belong in the "other" category. It's great to finally have some time to breath! If you're still in veg mode and I think you liked the Twilight series, is to check-out Vampire Diaries on the CW(better than Twilight IMO). I have them recorded if you're interested.
