Fall Already..

I've slacked off once again and didn't blog for four months..whoops.. So much has a happened and I've made a commitment to start blogging more often so my posts aren't so long.

In August I began temping at Shoebuy.com, doing data entry.. Nothing close to what I want to do at all but at least I am keeping myself busy.. and becoming a pro at Excel!!

In September my mom and I planned and hosted a baby shower for my (at that time) soon to be nephew. It was beached themed, and we went all out..as we always do. I focused on the cupcakes (of course!) as baking is my favorite stress reliever.


Baby fruit salad, my AMAZING cupcakes and the table arrangements.


October brought the removal of my wisdom teeth as well as the birth if my nephew.. one right after the other. Grady Collings Phelps was born on 10/11/12 :)

Then came Halloween, or the weekend before Halloween, a holiday I will never get sick of. I love it because I get to make my own costume and use my creativity.. which is put on a back burner everyday at work. This year my friends and I decided to go on a pub crawl and be Three Olives bottles. For those of you who may not know Three Olives is a vodka that comes in an assortment of flavors, but what I really enjoy is the artwork on the bottles. I have a collection of them in my room so we decided to make costumes based on the bottles. Then we added the idea of tutus for a fun addition. I hand made my tutu because what they charge for store bought tutu's is a little ridiculous. I also made my friends tutu and you can tell the difference. The red and pink tutu's are homemade!

Then came Sandy, the hurricane that destroyed much of the East Coast. Here at home we lost our power for three days. A family friend lent us a generator so we were able to keep our food from spoiling.. which I am so thankful for! People in parts of New York and New Jersey have yet to have power restored!

Next was the election..enough said.

This past weekend my boyfriend and I and a few of our friends participated in the Rebel Race in Haverhill, MA. It was so much fun despite the freezing temperatures. I think I am going to do two mud runs a year and one half marathon.. in order to keep in shape!!

Today I had the day off from work as I went to a job interview. I need help with interviewing.. I get very nervous before them and I think that is why I have not received a job offer yet.

I will keep chugging along and updating my blog.
