Pumpkin Fest

I haven’t written in awhile. Not too much has been happening. I did go last weekend to the ever exciting Circleville Pumpkin Festival. There were tremendously large pumpkins and tons of pumpkin food. I indulged in enough pumpkin food to make myself a bit ill. But with pumpkin burgers, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin dumplings, pumpkin bread, etc. I just couldn’t help myself. This weekend is the Halloween party. I’m excited and hope to have lots of fun stories from this. I wish all the best Halloween!

Same o Same

The last couple of weeks have not brought much of anything new. I've been working and going out as normal. Last weekend went to the Gallery Hop, unfortunately never made it to the Hop, but did have a few drinks and booty dancing.

Next few weeks will be filled with High School visits and College Fairs. Lots of travel, just wish it was international. :)

Have to make one comment on Alias. I can not believe the killed off Vaughn! The show is going to go downhill and all because Vaughn is gone! Ok, done, just not too happy about this turn of events.

A Fun Filled Weekend

A small group of us (2) went dancing Saturday night. There were to be more, but as life would have it two of them became ill and others decided to watch the OSU/Texas game. OSU lost btw. The two of us that did go shook our happy bums for a few hours. Sunday did a swoop of the city. I miss all the conveniences of living directly inside the outer belt. Monday, back to the grind. 

--that’s life according to me.

County Fair!

This past weekend, I spent a sawdust filled time at the Noble County Fair. As a Represtative for the Jones Feed Store, I spent near 6 hours watching various farm animals sold to the highest bidder. Jones Feed not to be out done by the other local businesses purchased 12 animals. One of the 12 was the Reserve Champion Hog, which landed my parents their picture in the local newspaper with said Hog. I enjoyed a wonderful warm apple dumpling with ice cream and a cheeseburger made by the local firemen. Yum,Yum!

Returning to the Norm

Week of Birthday celebrations have passed and now back to the real life. New job is going GREAT! I love doing new student orientations and working with students excited yet nervous to be starting college. I’ve caught now quite quickly to the programs at the college and have started seeing walkins and will likely begin taking appointments very soon. I’m looking forward to September when I can start visiting the High Schools in the area.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a wonderful Birthday yesterday. Amy, wonderful person she is, drove me from dinner to pub to pub. I very much wanted to listen to live Irish music. The best I got was one Irish song from a band, but at least it was something. A bit of Sangra and lots of Cranberry and Vodkas later, I crash into a lovely slumber. Many thanks to the driver, best person in the world!

Life in the New Digs

Thanks to my lovely parents I moved the remained of my life to the new apartment on Sunday. It was a bit difficult moving from a two bedroom to a one bedroom, my spare twin size bed is now happy residing in my living room. It looks a bit odd, but my wonderful houseguests will have a comfy place to lay their heads. My nearly white carpet demands that I vacuum most every day due to Maggie (long haired black cat). Much of my stuff is still in boxes, so you can imagine my next few evenings will be consumed with unpacking—fun for me.

--According to Alison…for now

Life is a whirl wind

I have left Franklin University and have taken a position with Central Ohio Technical College. I am working in the Admissions department. I'm very excited. This past week was my first at COTC, I loved it! I've already done a student orientation and a recruiting event. Due to the fact COTC is in Newark, I've had to make the difficult decision to leave my beloved Grandview. I have a new apartment in Pataskala. I'm basically out in the sticks again, but at least I'm between Newark and Columbus. I can be in Newark in 15 minutes and in Columbus in 30.

Signing off for now...

Hello All,

The Blogging thing is very new to me, but thought it might be interesting to have. A good friend (Ferg) got me started. This is my first post, I'm really testing to see if this thing works. If it does, I'll keep you updated on the World According to Alison. :)
