Alicia and I (I'm on the left) at Silver Cascade (which, despite driving by numerous times on the way to the outlets in North Conway, I never knew it's name until I read this guy's blog)

What was special about this day was I was hung over as FUCK and I had to have Alicia pull over on the I93 on-ramp so I could puke. It was an enjoyable day after that.

I am tired tonight...

So I'm just gonna post a picture of what I cooked for dinner earlier



It is whole wheat pasta with sauteed grape tomatoes, garlic, onions and chicken. It was pretty tasty, and I rubbed some garlic clove on toasted baguette.

What's really going on here is I'm trying to ensure no one comes near me at work tomorrow to talk about my new job :-p

POSTING!

I haven't posted much here, I use tumblr a TON, but that's mostly for posting stupid pictures and recipe links that I might wanna look at later.

In 20 days I am starting training for my new job. Suffice to say, I am compleeeeetely freaked out! I have 7 days left at my current job where I've been relieved of all duties, so I just sit around all day doing absolutely NOTHING. I guess I shouldn't complain since I still HAVE a job, they could've canned me when I told them I was leaving at the end of the month. They're letting me take my remaining vacation days after I leave, too, which is incredibly handy and nice of them. So I'll be getting paid to drive down to Oklahoma City... Well, kinda.

Anyway, I started this blog a little over a year ago to document my progression through the ATC application process/OKC training/OJT training, but the whole thing took so long I just lost interest. I mean, I initially applied in JUNE 2007. And now I will be graduating OKC slightly over 2 years later. That's quite a bit of waiting, so what was I supposed to blog about the whole time?

SOoooo, I'll try to update this thing more now.

I...

I blog.
I tumbl
I flickr
I am LinkedIn
I text like there's no tomorrow.

Is there such a thing as being TOO connected? I don't think so!

Copper (One of my old foster dogs) and Dougal (my miniature Schnauzer)

Naas, County Kildare, Ireland... August 2007

OH!

I never update this thing, but I got a class date of 31MAR2009 offered on 22DEC2008.

I said FUCK YES to that. I wish it were a little earlier, it's been wicked cold at home lately and I'd love to get down to some of that balmy OKC weather.

I'm in Boston right now visiting my college roommate and in general wasting 4 days of my life that I'll NEVER get back. But that's okay. Maybe I will try to transfer to BOS Tower after I check out in Indy. Either that or try to get hired at the Wyeth in Cambridge. I would love to be able to take the T wherever I needed to go, cause I would not have to get road rage. I would just have to rage when the T was 20 minutes late haha

I stopped at the NH Safety Stop/Liquor Store on my way down and got some $5 wine and I'm currently drinking that (out of the bottle, cause I am just that hXc)

I'm listening to Margot and the Nuclear So & Sos. They're from Indianapolis, and i have a feeling that's going to be the only thing that makes my time in Indy worth it.
