Welcome Week


The busiest week of my life is over. Welcome Week is the week at UCSD where our office plans events for all the students. All events are free and I supervise 2 Interns that help to create the magical week of fun and excitement for the Marshall students at UCSD.




I liked to complain because I was working 13-14 hours a day, Then I realize I get extra vacation time and my working overtime is going to Hypnotists show, BBQs, and Casino Nights.

Wedding Pictures

I have been making up for not blogging for a while. I finally received the wedding pictures yesterday. I was so excited. I stayed up until 11:30pm creating my own photo album. I love to do things like that. I have to say that was an AWESOME day. Ryan made it awesome but also all my wonderful friends who came out to support me. It was so fun to look at their pictures at the wedding and reception. I love my friends!!!



Here are slide shows of the pictures:

Snake or Lizard?




Ryan and I went to the World Famous San Diego Zoo on Friday. This is how I learned about this amazing reptile, the Legless Lizard, also known as Anniella Pulchra Nigra. Yes, the picture above is a Lizard not a snake. Not all Lizards have legs. In fact the legless lizards are beautiful and are found in sandy areas of California. These reptiles are amazing and also very misunderstood. I am trying to debunk some of the myths of legless lizards.




Differences between legless Lizards and Snakes:


1. Lizards have movable eyes and eyelids


2. Lizards have a boast row of scales on their bellies


3. The legless lizard is still able to break off its tale when caught by a predator.

Biases

I thought this article was interesting. I am just tired of the media in general. I wish it was easier to find out the truth from all sides.

Sugar Mama


That's right I am a Sugar Mama. For the past week and 1/2 I have been bringing in all the money. Ryan has had some deserved time off. I have to say I am pretty good at being a Sugar Mama and Ryan is very good at being a Kept Man. He enjoys doing the laundry, fixing some of the dinners and watching marathons of CSI and movies all day.


I would now like to quote from Ryan's text to me on his first day of being a Kept Man. " I have moved to the recliner to switch things up." That was at 12:30pm and when I left the house at 8:30am he was on the couch. For those men who might be jealous, this Sunday is the last day of Ryan being a Kept Man.



Here I am hard at work...such a good Sugar Mama. I know my job seems very challenging. I just do what I have to do to keep us alive.















True Love

Ryan finally broke down and saw a musical with me. He bought me wicked tickets for my birthday. For those of you that don't know...Ryan HATES musicals. When I mean HATE I mean HATE. Julia and I once tried to trick Ryan into watching Newsies at our friends house, but instead of watching it he locked himself in the bathroom for 30 minutes. We finally left because he was not going to give in.
I on the other hand LOVE musicals and I mean LOVE. I would be happy if all movies were musicals. I knew it was True Love when Ryan went with me to see Wicked and did not complain once. I thought the day would never happen. It might never happen again but I am satisfied with the one.
