Move over Betty Crocker

I have found the key to having happy friends and roommates: homemade, warm out of the over chewy, gooey, chocolate chip cookies.

Baking has become my favorite thing to do...good thing I work out.

Good Morning Saturday

I had Tysabri yesterday. Thrilling stuff, I know. Everything went well, as usual. It was number 15 I believe, which it seems crazy that I have been going there for 15 months. The only bad part is that number 24 is quickly approaching which means after that its blood work every month for me. I guess I have 9 months to develop a way to get blood samples without needles. :) Anyways, I decided I would quiz the nurse that does the infusions about my last MRI, because she seems to know a lot about the workings of the office. She also found it strange that my MRI that should have been in March was in the beginning of Feb., so at least I am not the only one scratching my head about that. Anyways, she was able to see the results of my MRI...I would hate to be living in suspense until my next appointment in July! Good news to report - no signs of PML, no new lesions and visible "shrinkage" (that is such a funny word - always have flashbacks to Seinfeld when I say it) of my old lesions!

Time for the happy dance! I think its rather safe to say that Tysabri was the best choice for me.

Well, my parents are coming to visit today around 1, I believe that my brother is tagging along as well. I made very yummy half moon cookies too (a.k.a - black and white cookies). However, I still need to perfect my chocolate frosting...its a work in progress though.

Since when did a little bit of snow hurt anything?

Today (as in yesterday (Thursday) because I forgot to actually "publish" my draft until this morning) I trudged my way into the city, through the unplowed streets and unshoveled sidewalks. Thankfully I have four wheel drive because there was some serious spinning action happening with my tires. Anyways, my mission was to make it to this place Lakeshore Record Exchange . Trust me, if I could marry a store, I would marry this one. It is small, and uber cute, and full of some really good music, like the hard to find kinda stuff, that you begin to think doesnt exist outside of Amazon.com. The best part is the music there isn't sold at crazy marked up prices, everything is very reasonable and they even have a 5 dollar used CD selection where you can pick up some really good finds. I had to park like forever away because well, I went at lunch time and that road is a nightmare at lunch because it is lined with small cafes, and the local science museum, right around the corner, is swarmed with minivans do to the infestation of children on mid-winter vacation.

But alas, even with wet, salty and just down right dirty jean bottoms I managed to grab a few good finds...so here is what I bought...

Three Flights From Alto Nido - Greg Laswell

Through Toledo - Greg Laswell

(which Greg is playing like 10 minutes from my house tonight...lame...lame...lame.)

Up To N0w - Snow Patrol

Train - Train

And then this one time...

I decided I was going to drop out of school and open a bakery. OK, maybe that is a lie, but last night in my entrepreneurship 2 class while our guest speaker was talking about passion and drive and yada-yada-yada, it hit me that I would be 100% complete in a small bakery, making sweets all day.

Of course that is not going to happen any time soon, so instead I will be baking black and white cookies Friday night for my parents who are visiting Saturday. I guess that will suffice my baking craving for this week.

My roommates will be gone this weekend. My weekend has already started with no classes tomorrow. I have plans for a trip to the record store tomorrow and then a fun filled day of homework! Tysabri, of course, on Friday...so that should be thrilling...oh IVs how I love you so.
