Stephanie find herself in yet another crazy adventure and yes someone is trying to kill her again. The Plum books are a good read, but for my input she needs to make a bit more progress in her life in the next one. They are starting to feel like they are the same book over and over.<br />

Rainbow Cupcakes!<br />
<br />
These are easy, but add a bit of fun to any cupcake eating experience.<br />
<br />
How To:<br />
Mix your cake batter per box directions.<br />
Separate the batter into a few different bowls, three or four. <br />
Add food coloring to the batter, mix well.<br />
<br />
Add a bit of each colored batter to the cupcake paper, careful not to stir, but to allow each color to stand on its own.<br />
<br />
Bake as directed on the box.<br />
<br />
Ice and decorate per your choice.<br />
<br />

Good to know my crystal ball is working...I'm still the most hated person in the office this morning. Funny how trying to make recommendations of "fair and equitable", terms this office doesn't understand, created such chaos. What makes me a bit more sad is that a few people in the office get it. They have been the ones to come to me and apologize. Actually apologize for the unprofessional behavior of other "teammates". One poor lady was in tears on my behalf. No reason for them to loose sleep over it, I've lost enough this week for them. (Thank the Fates for Lite Mocha Fraps, Iced Tea, Chai, and all other caffeinated beverages.) My problem is I care--but I'm working on that. *sigh*</div><div> </div><div>Good news is, I gave away all my responsibilities. I'm not beating my head against a brick wall if the wall is never going to give- even a little. So, I will do my basic role in my job, pretend to be busy during down times, and keep my head down and mouth shut. This will allow me to make an ok wage with little responsibility and I will go on a cruise in October. Is it October yet?</div><div> </div><div>I will be headed to the Dublin Irish Fest this weekend, which makes me happy. I'm worth it and need the mental health break. </div><div> </div><div>I hope your weekend is grand!</div>alliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13175447748087454338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14420001.post-31231934112631862942011-07-22T10:04:00.000-04:002011-07-22T10:04:27.987-04:00<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;">Week In Review...</span></b></div><div> </div><div>Let's see, it's been a crazy busy week so far. I will not go into the mundane stuff, only things that may be considered semi-interesting.</div><div> </div><div>Semi-interesting #1:</div><div> </div><div>I had my plates run by the CPD this week. I was stopped at a red light down town and looked out my car window to see a really nice view of the city. I decided I needed to snap a quick photo. The fastest camera I could get to was my the phone camera in my pocket. I powered the window down, got a whooosh of heat and humidity in my face, but push on and snapped a picture. </div><div> </div><div>As I turn back to the inside of the car to glance to see the light is still red, I also notice in my rearview mirror a CPD car. Lovely! I slowly put the phone down, kept a watch on the two gentlemen in the cruiser in my mirror and notice they are obviously running my plates. Good to know there are no outstanding warrants for me, they followed for another block, then speed across three lanes of traffic to go off and do real police work. Possible ticket situation averted. I don't really think you can get a ticket for taking a photo out the window of a stopped car, but at this point, I don't know, they keep changing the laws on me.</div><div><br />
</div><div>My camera phone sucks and it's not even a good picture. If you have a smart phone, how do you feel about the camera on it. I up for a new one as some point this year and am looking into one with a better camera.</div><div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9HMyTKP5Qt1z81ccwiXFHZbws9VJb0uWcPffoR_ZQX7MkEgi6lI4ii-1Of7002w7qB-CyTy1fHA_5Hl8YP30Eu5KnQCwXKt6HN1jIXVkhmoagPCPsMcujmAPxjWB4QyqYoW-/s1600/Cbus+skyline.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9HMyTKP5Qt1z81ccwiXFHZbws9VJb0uWcPffoR_ZQX7MkEgi6lI4ii-1Of7002w7qB-CyTy1fHA_5Hl8YP30Eu5KnQCwXKt6HN1jIXVkhmoagPCPsMcujmAPxjWB4QyqYoW-/s320/Cbus+skyline.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> <div>Semi-interesting #2:</div><div> </div><div>I applied for a new job. It could be an fun career move for me. Still in my same field, but at a different institution of higher education, but working in many ways with the students at my current institution. </div><div> </div><div>Getting to the interview was interesting enough. How does one avoid sweat in Ohio in July? If you know, please clue me in. I am a lady-I know you are asking, really are you, but yes anatomically I am. I do have the option of a skirt and a short sleeve suit jacket-thank goodness. Men, I am sorry, you don't have the option to create somewhat cooler interview clothing. My advice is only look for a new job in the cooler months, but then you may have to walk to an interview in a blizzard, which I did once and I don't recommend it. </div><div> </div><div>I did arrive early enough for the interview to slip into the ladies room and basically take a mini public restroom paper towel bath. I cooled down as much as possible and headed to the third floor for my interview. I had to wait about 15 minutes for the committee to arrive in a secret location, so I used the brochure next to me on the stand as a make shift fan. I was calm, cool, and collected when the admin walked me down a flight of stairs to this secret location. I walked into the room confident and a smile on my face. The smile froze just a bit when I scanned the room and it never fully reach my eyes, at least I don't think.</div><div> </div><div>I somewhat lost the ability to think clear for a moment. Why you ask, panic, nerves, stubbed my toe. No, good questions, but no. I was taken aback by the one of the faces in the room. It was a conference room with 6 individuals lined around the table and an empty chair for me at the head of the table. They were prepared, they too knew the world revolves around me. Back to the face. It is a nice face, one I see on a Monday-Friday basis. Oh yes ladies and gents, my boss was sitting in the room, ready to interview me for a job somewhere else. </div><div> </div><div>What is one to do in this situation? I had no freaking idea. I had run interview questions in my head for about a week. I had come up with brilliant ideas and answers. I had not prepared for this. I have never had this happen before. I never spoken to anyone that has had this happen before. I did what I could at the time. I just kept going. I kept walking into the room, introduced myself to the group, took my seat at the head of the table, and settled in to answer their questions. I sent a small head nod to my boss in acknowledgment of her and move on.</div><div> </div><div>I haven't actually spoken to her since, which is very interesting since her office is directly behind mine. I don't fear for my current job. I do my job, I do it well most days. It's just going to be a bit awkward until this entire job process is over, which could take a few weeks.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> <div>Semi-interesting #3:</div><div> </div><div>I watched <i>Kill the Irishman </i>this week. Very good mob movie. I give it a solid B. If you like mob movies, you will like this movie. I also like that it is "based" on a true story.</div><div> </div><div>Ok, so this was maybe not as interesting, but a true event from this week in my life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmDVAzA3tBGKRZgnHBmfdxeKk8MabRx9Fxquywtz1HTXyj2Da1Ic30e0HgEDkbCK_iOEFiq8vF5f3DDRzbjfOzYnDMc27Q_95br30e-HOxl8ZCIzk7z5IHfBxVTeS8LU8q4b6p/s1600/irishman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmDVAzA3tBGKRZgnHBmfdxeKk8MabRx9Fxquywtz1HTXyj2Da1Ic30e0HgEDkbCK_iOEFiq8vF5f3DDRzbjfOzYnDMc27Q_95br30e-HOxl8ZCIzk7z5IHfBxVTeS8LU8q4b6p/s320/irishman.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><div> </div><div>Enjoy your weekend kids and drink lots of liquids...water is best but beer will do.</div></div></div><div><br />

Excellent supernatural book! Werewolves, Vamps, Witches. Solid plot. The book keeps the story moving, which is great.<br />

Excellent! The book covers parts of Fey's life, including SNL and 30 Rock. <br />
<br />

Tina Fey is funny and so is her book. I actually listened to the audio book. I highly recommend this. I think Fey reading the book herself gives a a bit more than just reading the pages on your own.alliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13175447748087454338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14420001.post-31464287084332710282011-07-08T12:54:00.000-04:002011-07-08T12:54:34.449-04:00<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">More Kitchen Updates...</span></b></div><div><br />

</div><div>I've got to make it to New York and soon! It's on my list, but keeps getting moved.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Anyway, more back to this morning...</div><div> </div><div>What you don't know is that I still haven't completely unpacked from Vegas. Sad, but true. When I got back, life went into fast forward, again, and I just never got to it.</div><div> </div><div>This morning at 7:30am, I decided to start the unpacking/cleaning of my room. What, why do I have such poor timing. Why do I decide it's a good time to do this at 7:30am when I really needed to leave my house by 7:45am to get to work on time. So, guess what, yep, 10 minutes late for work and of course my Director is standing in the hallway when I walk in to see me coming in late. Only just a week from my review. Oh well, life will go on. I do my job and I'll either stay late or not take a lunch, but she will of course not see that. I can only hope that I feel like cleaning this afternoon when I get off work and actually make some headway in my room during a more appropriate time.</div>alliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13175447748087454338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14420001.post-72290373265450215132011-07-06T13:10:00.000-04:002011-07-06T13:10:14.903-04:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font: normal normal normal medium/20px 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 17px;"> </span><br />

<br />
If you are not familiar with Goodreads.com, it is helpful website to keep track of new books coming out, what you have already read, and what your friends are reading that you might enjoy. I will try to put some of my reviews on the blog in case you are looking for new books. My tastes vary, so you may not enjoy any of the books. Below are a few recent ones.<br />
<br />
I've completed 3 books of the 8 needed for my summer reading program goal.<br />
<br />
Are you reading any good books, let me know, I'll look into it.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I hope your morning is going better than mine. I'm headed to the chiropractor later this morning. I can hardly move my neck. Yesterday while reaching for something over my head there was a small "pop" in my neck. I stretched all day yesterday trying to get the nerve to un-pinch, but no luck. So, off to spend some co-pay money, at least I have insurance. I just need to be able to move my neck, remove the tingle from my left hand, get rid of this headache, oh and sleep through the night. 2 Tylenol PM's didn't do anything last night-grrrr! Funny how a tiny little move can create such havoc.</div>alliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13175447748087454338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14420001.post-9074888019511541692011-06-28T14:52:00.000-04:002011-06-28T14:52:20.133-04:00Vegas, Again...<br />

You could pick up an item to view it, but only for 59 seconds and then the item was charged to your room, same thing with the fridge stuff. Needless to say, Ms. L and I didn't pick anything up...not when prices started at $9 for a small bit of candy.</div><br />
The Hotel was great, but if you want to make your own coffee in the morning plan to stay somewhere else, no coffee makers in the rooms here, you can order two cups from room service for $9. Also, if you plan to use the workout room, plan to spend $19 a day to use it. I simply melted while walking on The Strip...good bad it all came back when I returned to OH-IO.<br />

More Vegas pics to come--stay tuned. I've been a bit busy, but will try to post a bit more regularly since I got a request to blog or bye-bye reader. <br />

<br />
Did you know that in Vinton County, Ohio there is a Lunchbox Museum? There is! Now, I do NOT recommend a trip to Vinton County just to visit this museum, because it is a small room off of a not so great restaurant, but it is there. I did visit once and I think once was enough. Although some of the lunchboxes were quite amusing or good for mental time travel.<br />

Last year I took a group of students to Vinton County for a week. Why, you ask. Well sometimes during that week I was asking myself the same question.
