Brisket

After a nice long walk with Pup this morning, I headed to an interview in Grand Central for a school grant. I actually applied to this organization last year and never got a response but luckily met a very organized representative on campus who is helping me re-submit my application. Basically, NY is in great need of LPN's and PTA's and the government has given this org. money to give to us so that we'll have less touble in school and start working as soon as possible. I don't really have to do anything but fill out an occasional school related online survey if approved so that they know how I'm doing and get me help if I need it. Hopefully I get a refund check for at least one full semester in the mail next year!

Lunch was on Bob (our interviewer) today after our meeting which was a nice surprise. We had Brother Jimmy's BBQ which is pretty big up here and I hadn't tried it yet. It was very tasty but very heavy and my braised brisket sandwich gave me a mctummy-ache. Later we parted ways and I headed to the restroom where I found this smorgasbord of paraphernalia resting on the toilet seat cover dispenser.(pic) Those things are never stocked anyway so at least the previous occupant was putting it to good use. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that there was something illegal going on in this stall, ha! Classy NY, classy.

In other news, my upstairs neighbors and all around fine folks want me to add some wall art to their bedroom after liking what I did in our apartment. They were debating between love birds or a rebel flag wielding eagle so I had no choice but to intervene. While putting together some options for them Jen brought to my attention that I'm drawn to birds much like my mother to which I replied, "This Google search for 'birds on branches' just became much less enjoyable." She had quite the laugh at me. I drew up a draft today and start painting tomorrow. Should be fun... I'll keep you posted.

Oh, filming for 30 Rock pretty much outside our window tomorrow! Look for pics later.
