So I've been doing a lot of thinking about how I can actually make this blog a success - and it seems to me that I have to make it useful, or helpful in some way to the people who are reading it. (which right now is a grand total of 0 - if this is not true, please comment and give me a light at the end of the tunnel)
The thing is, I don't know how I'm a help to anyone at all. Sure, I physically help a lot of people - especially my mom with things around the house but web-ically I'm not sure what to do. I can write in here for days like it's a journal or a diary, but that's not going to keep people coming back. Because I'm babysitting in an hour I don't have time right now to ruminate on the topic forever, so I'll just brainstorm a few things.
~job searching
~babysitting tips
~rules of etiquette/manners (love this)
~holiday decorating
~how to avoid doing anything productive
~creating and developing a life list
~the daily musings of an unemployed 20-something
-this is to assume that there are people not in my generation, reading this because they simply don't understand us
~anything else I-or you- can think of because I'll blog about any suggestions, whether I need to do research on a topic you'd like to know more about, or just to voice my opinion on something.
For now, it's time to shower before I go off to see baby Dara!

modern family
hello friends :)
Just a quick post since I wasted my entire evening watching television. Although I wouldn't say it really was a waste since comedy night is really bringing my family together. (except for my sister Deirdre who's in Spain) I really enjoyed tonight's Modern Family episode and I think my parents were crying because they were laughing so hard when Cam fell off the couch. The girls fighting scene really resonated with my sister and I because we can sometimes be at each others throats, and my brother just loves anything that Luke does.
Tomorrow begins my first day of work as a babysitter for a new family. I'm sure it will go well but of course I have a little anxiety over starting something new. There's also supposed to be horrible weather tomorrow and my Check Engine light is on - cool.
I believe I mentioned that I ordered over 2,500 pictures on Saturday. They arrived today in a very heavy box and I was so surprised to have received them so quickly! It must have been a slow weekend at Snapfish headquarters. The quality of the pictures came out great and I'm so glad to have hard copies of ALL of my pictures from my semester in Europe, as well as the ones I just took in Alaska! Now comes the tedious task of labeling and putting them in albums.
My weekend with my cousins was SO much fun. I've come to be close with their roommates and friends as well so I always feel welcome and comfortable down there. I'll probably be going back for Halloween but I need to decide on a costume first. Any suggestions?? I will not be attending the party dressed as a Giants team member because even though they still have my heart, they are slowly breaking pieces off with this sloppy season they're having.
Shauna (my sister) had a pasta party for her team tonight at my house so I helped my mom clean, cook, etc. to make everything presentable for the 16 and 17 year old girls passing through. Dinner was delicious and I must have eaten almost a whole loaf of my mother's garlic bread-YUM.
Well it's time to head off to dreamland again! I'll update you with more tomorrow! xoxo

the return
Hello Web World!
I've returned to blogging in an attempt to give my life some routine. Now that I'm out of college and there is literally nothing on the horizon I feel like I'm wasting so much time. Today I spent 4 1/2 hours choosing and buying pictures on snapfish. I was literally ready to pull my hair out but I'm glad it's over because 2,500 was a lot of pictures to choose. I can't wait for them to arrive because I'll finally be able to cross it off my to do list, which seems never ending.
As I write this I find myself writing "I" a lot. So, how can I make this blog about my life but help YOU, the reader. My biggest inspiration right now, is my bucket list. When I was in Alaska I was able to cross 3 things off of my 115 item list!! I'll write more about the list itself and my trip to America's biggest state in my next post, which should come your way on Tuesday.
Right now I'm watching The Taking of Pelham 123 with my dad and it's getting pretty intense. It's weird to see John Travolta as a bad guy. Tomorrow morning I'm going down to the Bronx to surprise my cousin/best friend for her 23rd birthday. It should be fun!
