Day 46: Chivalry isn't dead

Today taught me in more than one day that chivalry isnt dead. This man is one of the examples...He was the conductor on the train going to NYC and at EVERY lone female passenger he would tip his hat...well done sir!

Day 45: I wish mother nature would make up her mind...

Day 44: Rainy days are sleepy days

Day 43: Best notepad ever

Day 42: Sometimes all you can do is crochet

Day 41: Foggy Easter Sunday

Day 40: Somedays it really is a prescription

I enjoy the signs I see sometimes when driving...I know this picture isnt the best but the white sign was what I was trying to get a picture of

Day 39: Pretty campus!

I am always a sucker for a pretty campus...it's a little rediculous...

Day 38: Happy Birthday Daddy!

Not sure why the picture I want to post isn't working...I will figure this out when I get home this evening...

Happy birthday anyways Dad! I love you lots.

Updated...FINALLY I got the picture to post. I hope your day went fantastic Poppa!

Day 37: The end of the year is in sight!

Lions fest was this week. That means that the end of the year is getting close and I will have survived my first closing here at TCNJ!

Day 36: Proud Supervisor party of one

I have some crazy talented staff members...this is an example of one of many. My staff member Eman directed this play...I dont know if you can see it but the poster says "Directed by Eman Hassan" and I just wanted to share this.

Day 35: A surprise outside my apartment

I knew that I had a plant growing outside my apartment but I didnt know until this week that it was Tulips...and a very pretty color at that :-) It was a nice little surprise!

Day 34: To Write Love on Her Arms

I've said it before and I will say it again. There is a benefit to working for a college as I get the opportunity to hear people speak that I wouldn't normally get the chance to. Tonight was Jamie Tworkowski who founded the "Two Write Love on Her Arms" campaign (http://www.twloha.com/) to raise awareness and bring to light people who suffer from depression, addiction, self harm, and suicidal ideations.

Jamie was so cool and just listening to him you could hear and feel his passion for what he does!

Day 33: Drag Show=an excellent end to a vacation

To round out my trip to Indiana I went to a fabulous establishment in Bloomington called "Uncle Elizabeth's Night Club"..great night with friends was the perfect end to my trip!

Day 32: Spending time with friends

Not only did I get to go to Terre Haute and see all sorts of people who I miss terribly but my next stop was to Indianapolis to visit Greg but I got the bonus of spending time with Traci!

Day 31: Some buildings just know how to make you feel better

On vacation in Indianapolis and driving around...ths building just screams it message :-)

Day 30: meeting an inspiring woman

What do you do on your vacation? I go to sexual violence awareness events...okay so I may have a bias to this event but...that's beyond my point. The point is: I got to meet Angela Rose tonight who is the founder of PAVE (promoting awareness victim empowerment) she is taking her rape and turning it into the fuel that drives her work. I was in awe...

Day 29: That's what I get for thinking today was gonna be a good day...

This morning as I go to access control to pick up my key this is what I got to look at. It was a beautiful morning and I was excited to leave on vacation.

Day 28: Mail is fun...mail from friends is even better!

I love getting mail...especially when I dont expect it! I got this envelope in the mail from my good friend Efi who lives in Greece. Earlier this month we had been talking on facebook and she mentioned that she was chaperoning the trip to Athens. I asked if she could send me a postcard so that I can add it to my bulletin board...I wasnt expecting so many or the sweet little post-it that TOTALLY made my day!

Day 27: Eeyore is the best...

Enough said :-)

Day 26: Who knew you could be embarrassed at church?

Today at church I was accepted as a member of Ewing Presbyterian Church. Elizabeth (the Reverend) was so worried about saying my last name correctly that she ended up giving the entire congregation a lesson on how to say my last name...I was just a tad red when she finished the introduction.

Day 25: Yes...that is a giant tooth

Dont worry...your eyes are not lying to you. That is a giant tooth sculpture. There is a sculpture garden near the train station here in New Jersey and everytime I pass it I giggle. I mean...it's a tooth

Day 25: Someone is finding humor in budget cuts

Because I work in higher education there is always the fear of budget cuts. So the exercise of "doing more with less" is always something we need to work on. This was actually found in the mail at Indiana State last year but I came across it when I was going through my phone pictures...it never fails to make me giggle

Day 24: Robins

Robins always make me think of home and my grandparents. We would look for robins to signify that Spring was coming...they would usually return around my grandma's birthday. Ever since she passed away, regardless of the time of year, on bad days...in some way shape or form-a robin crosses my path and makes me smile. I think it's her way of reminding me that life goes on and I will get through whatever I was worried/stressed/upset about

Day 23: It's finally spring!

The title says it all...The daffodils are out...its officially spring!

Day 22: Happy Birthday lil Bro!

Wishing a happy birthday to my brother Cliff. Because as much we we bicker and fight...I know that he has my back and I love him for it :-) Family always makes me happy :-)

Day 21: Living on a college campus can be a lifting experience

At one point over spring break someone went through campus and put wings and little magnets in the hand of all the pedestrian signs on campus...no one knows who...it makes me smile whenever I see it.

Day 20: Duty nights are good for something...

Being on call limits what you can do on the weekend...but I am happy to say I was productive in someway :-) I managed to make some jewelery that I have been designing since I got back from Egypt and made extenders so that I can wear another piece that was a gift from my grandmother.

Day 19: Chatting with friends is always a good time

It's funny how much technology plays in our lives. I will NEVER hate technology as it has allowed me to keep in touch with people that I've never actually met but consider close friends.

Day 18: Cello Music...enough said

I've reciently come to really enjoy cello music. I ended up finding this artist on facebook and "like"d his fan page a while ago. I reciently decided to buy his CD which has been on ALMOST repeat since I got it late last week. The chapstick is in there because well...I dunno...it was lying there when I took the picture :-)
