an update

another semester's beginning this week and teh paul is taking one class aside from his thesis credit. we're hoping he can get all of that finished this semester--writing the thesis, presenting/defending it etc. before his professor goes back to poland for the summer and is m.i.a. also, if this doesn't happen, he won't get the PhD fellowship for the fall. @_@ in addition to this, i'm not feeling super confident about this whole job thing; i'm not sure about the lsu job anymore. i didn't feel that this interview was the best one ever nor am i crying or upset about it. maybe it's not for me. whatever. i'm still looking around and applying to places as i need to come up with some kind of income to pay for my apartment and any additional wedding expenses that i may incur. so that's the update on all of that.

in other news, paul and i have decided to try and eat healthier and plan our meals this year in hopes of reducing grocery visits and the cost. we've made a list of things we like to eat and then a grocery list of things we need for those dishes. then, at the beginning of each week (or we'll plan 2 weeks) decide what to have what day and plan for left over nights. then make a grocery list for the items needed for that period of time, plus other necessities, etc. i uploaded a template of what we've started. we don't strictly stick to the things on the second page of this document--to try other things, but these are the primary dishes we like making.

paul just downloaded this group and i thought this track was hilarious; not so much the beginning, but the rest of it: http://youtu.be/ufDIdRyMklw

anyway, i guess that's about all of an update i can come up with, heh, sorreh. later. ~Lin-chan ^.~

wedding: we have picked a bakery and we love it! we still need to book them, but we chose flour power because of: taste, presentation, use of fresh fruit filling (the other two won't?!), and the fact that it'll be a doberge-style cake (the other two only do 2 layers with filling): 6 layers of cake, filled with yummy goodness! >w< sooooo good. so excited. YUMMM!

makeup: my sigma brushes, dry'n shape, sin eye primer, and perversion pencils have arrived. i'll post a 'what i'm loving' sometime soon regarding them.

edit: if you didn't see the update on my post on the 10th, i'm on antibiotics now and feeling much better!
