Well, as some of you may have already heard, I'm being transferred back to Indiana! I was offered a position with my company at their Indianapolis office and not only is it a great opportunity but it puts me back in Indiana with my family and some of my favorite people!! Being in Turkey really made me realize how much I missed having family close enough that I can go visit whenever I want. Mommy, Daddy, and Damla are possibly more excited then I am!
I do have to say though that there are parts of me that will miss Midland. For one, I'll miss all the friends I made up here that kept me sane and Midland fun. I mean, my life here has been described as a TV show if that tells you how entertaining it was! I'll miss Letter Nights and weekends up at the lake. I had some great roommates! And of course, Great Lakes Ice Cream (we all know how much I LOVE ice cream!). But now you all have someone you can come visit in Indy! :) And no matter where I live, I'll always love having visitors!
I also met a lot of great people at work. I mean, if I didn't love my job, I wouldn't have stayed as long as I did. I'm definitely going to miss all the traveling which was a huge perk. But I had to make a decision and it came down to me not wanting to pass up this great opportunity.
April should actually be a pretty fun month filled with a wedding, Flight of the Concords in Detroit, Demetri Martin at CMU, and Riverdance! So of course there will be more pictures and postings to come.
For all of my work friends who are reading this, I'll still be in touch through e-mail and, when necessary, the phone (b/c as much as I love to talk, I hate talking on the phone).
Sunday
It's always a good night when cowboy hats are involved
Well Friday night was a good night. For a friends 30th birthday, they rented a party bus (yes, this is the week of party buses) to take us to some bars in the tri-city area. The theme was Cowboy Hats and Flip-flops (although it was too cold for the flip-flops). While on the bus, we listened to a lot of country music and our destinations included a lot of country bars.
There was actually a large group of people who went on the bus. Some I knew, some I didn't, and some I knew but hadn't seen in a really long time. It was a good to see everyone again. I officially knew it was going to be a good night when we got to a bar called "The Silver Derby" and the first song they played was "The Cupid Shuffle". Nope, I'm still not over it. They actually played it twice! They also played the Macarena which is actually really hard when you haven't done it in a while.
The biggest attraction at the Silver Derby is that they have one of those mechanical bulls that you can ride. I didn't actually partake in this activity but I did enjoy watching everyone else get on there. Some people really get into it! That's what most of my pictures consist of.
Saturday was a more relaxed day. We went to BW3s to watch Purdue beat Washington. I even made some new friends with some Purdue alumni at the table next to mine. We're multiplying up here. :)
I also saw I Love You, Man on Saturday night which I would give 4 out of 5 stars. I remember laughing a lot during the movie but I wouldn't say it's one of the funniest movies I've seen. For instance, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is WAY funnier. But if you have a chance, I'd go see it...or rent it.
So that's that. Still no jury duty. And nothing much else happening this month as far as I know but I'll be sure to let you know if anything comes up! :)

Monday
So much going on in one day!!
Well yesterday was the REAL St. Patrick's Day as well as my mom and dad's 31st wedding anniversary and Justin Jones's birthday!! So clearly there was a lot to celebrate. For some reason we decided to get a party bus for the occasion which is even more strange considering we are going on one on Friday anyway. But who am I to say no to a party bus and another excuse to wear green?
We spent the evening in Mt. Pleasant which is about 30 minutes away and where a lot of my friends here went out in college because it's also where Central Michigan University is located. They knew there around to all the fun establishments and I happily followed along. Best part of the entire night--they played Starstruck at one of the clubs we went to! You can't beat that.
There really aren't any stories to tell but good times were had by all and I've included some pictures as proof. Actually, one story is that I did managed to snag a sweet hat but unfortunately my head was too big so I let Kyle wear it. See below!!
St. Patrick's Day in Chicago!
Over the weekend I went to Chicago for a little St. Patrick's Day celebration. Why Chicago? Well, it was brought up in a discussion over the weekend that Chicago has the most organized drinking events, which is true. While you would expect most places to fully embrace St. Patty's day on Saturday, there were people still all decked out in green on Sunday too. But really, Chicago, because that's where a lot of my friends were going to be.
I recruited my friend Kyle for weekend outside of the mitten and we headed out on Friday afternoon. After 5 hours in the car filled with lots of talking (me) and a lot of head nods and "I understands" (Kyle) we made it to Chitown. I dropped Kyle off to play with another friend of ours on Friday night and headed to meet up with my sister and brother-in-law. We went to dinner at a Turkish restaurant called Efes (formally Cousins) which was quite delicious. The restaurant was also BYOB so we made it somewhat of a theme evening by purchasing a bottle of Mediterranean Red from World Market across the street. The bottle (picked by me purely based on the name and pretty label) was $4.99 and proof that you don't have to pay a lot for a good bottle of wine. In case you're curious, here is a link to the wine.

A friend of J.B.'s also joined us for dinner. He was HILARIOUS! And was actually person who introduced me to my new favorite song, Starstruck by Lady Gaga. If she goes on tour anytime soon, you know I'm in. She has yet to sing a song I don't like.
We returned home after dinner and decided to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Unfortunately, when Damla said she had all the ingredients, she meant she had all she had all the ingredients except for baking soda which must be what makes cookies fluffy b/c we ended up with some pretty flat cookies.
Saturday morning I woke up and headed over to Stacey and Colleen's apartment to meet up with them as well as Kamm and Kylie who also made the trip for the weekend. From there we headed's downtown to Laurent's house where she was hosing a little St. Patty's party. Praz, Julie, Kyle and Thomas all met up with us there. The morning flew by which is not suprising. It was packed full of lots of food, Catch Phrase, bags, playing outside on the patio, and even a little physics lesson about torpedos from Colleen.
We eventually decided to venture into the city and headed up to Wrigleyville. We started off at a bar called Rebel where Jess and Brian were hanging out . We stayed there until we were hungry and then headed to Chen's which was a delicious restaurant. I ordered sushi since Lent is still going on and I gave up Chinese food but it was still really good. After that, the group dwindled down to just me, Kamm, Colleen, Stacey, and Kyle but it was too early to go home so we decided to wander in and out of random establishments in the general directon of the apartment. We drank some Beamish which tasted like dishwasher liquid at the Underground Lounge, made negative friends with some Illinios University people at Blarney Stone, and then ran (literally) to Kirkwoods to show off our killer dance moves. All in all, a most enjoyable day.
Sunday morning we continued the tradition of eating bagels for breakfast and headed to Einstein. I couldn't believe how many people were still continuing their celebrations! Afterwards, we went back to the apartment for some Swedish Fish and lots of giggling. A great way to end any weekend. Then Kyle and I headed back into the car for the trip home. This time we tried to pass some of the time with some car games but in the end went back to more talking and a few "I understands".
Now it's back to work for a few days. Still no luck on the jury duty. It's really a shame. I would have made such a great juror.

A Night in Italy...sort of
Last night I had a little dinner party of sorts. I invited 12 people and 10 came so that was good. I tried to a do a little theme dinner so I went with Italian. We had bruschetta as an appetizer, lasagna as the main course (with green beans on the side) and chocolate cake as dessert. I like to think chocolate is the international dessert. My favorite part was the cake but the bruschetta got rave reviews so I thought I'd pass on the recipe. I'll warn you that I used the entire baguette and probabably had 20-25 slices of bread and still had left over mix.
6 roma tomatoes
1/2 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 French baguette
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
In a large bowl combine the roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes
Cut the baguette into 3/4 inch slices. On a baking sheet arrange the baguette slices in a single layer. It says you're supposed to broil for 1-2 minutes but I skipped that.
Divide the tomatoe mixture evenly over the baguette slices. Tope the slices with mozzarella cheese.
Broil for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Enjoy!!
We also managed to get through almost 7 bottles of wine which is pretty impressive considering 2 of the 10 people didn't even drink wine. All in all, the evening was quite enjoyable. The company was great and the stories were entertaining as always!

A Weekend in the Mitten
Well, shockingly enough, I didn't leave town over the weekend! And actually it was nice to be home. Unfortunately, it rained all weekend. But it also rained in Chicago and in Indy which is probably where I would have been if I hadn't stayed home.
Friday was actually nice and I went out to lunch with a friend to play a little catch up. I also looked to see if I could find a new straightener. After about 5 years, my last one decided to quit on me (which is pretty amazing considering I only paid $25 for it at Meijer). I really wish it hadn't decided to quit though before such a rainy week! I think we all know how amazing my hair looks in the rain and the humidity! :)
Friday night I bowled on my bowling league. I'm pretty awesome, and by awesome I mean, my average is a 65. But I actually did pretty well on Friday and bowled a 70, 90, and 86. The team is usually just happy if I hit my average so I think they were pleased. Afterwards I headed to a local bar to meet up with some other friends. I witnessed some excellent pool playing including playing with your left hand and playing one handed with the opposite end of the pool cue.
Saturday I woke up to the rain so I decided to head to the grocery store thinking most people would choose to stay inside. Wrong. The store was PACKED! I grabbed what I needed and headed out of there as fast as possible. I did find some Chilean wine that's called 35 degrees or something like that. I haven't tried it yet but I'm pretty sure if you're supposed to judge wine by the name and lable, this is a good bottle. Biggest disappointment--Meijer is hiding all the Cadbury Cream Eggs from me!!
Saturday night we headed to Bay City for a little change of pace. We started at a place called "The Arlington" which had shuffleboard as a game! But it's different then what you see people playing on a cruise boat...it's shuffleboard on a table. I didn't actually play but it looked interesting enough. The Arlington is also a place where local bands play so we listed to a band where I knew one of the guys --and by knew I mean, I met him the night before. I can't say that it was the kind of music I'd choose to listen to on my own, but I'm all about moral support. After that we headed to a different bar to do some dancing. One good thing about Bay City is they still play the Cupid Shuffle. Will that song ever get old?
I didn't get up Sunday until 12:30 which I'm blaming on Daylight Savings Time. Once I was up though, I was on a mission. By 3:00 I'd made a lasagna and a chocolate cake! I haven't actually eaten either of these dishes yet but if they're any good I'll be sure to pass along the recipe. One thing that was fun though was that I bought a Dutch Oven for the lasagna and it's possibly my new favorite thing in the kitchen. I just need to figure out what else I can make in it. I kept up the cooking spree later by making myself fish for dinner and some Bakla (which is a Turkish dish made with lima beans). I also discovered how to use our OnDemand. I watched Bee Movie (which was not good even though it has Jerry Seinfeld in it) and the end of Fool's Gold. That was actually one I enjoyed. By the time I finished that movie, it was raining pretty hard and even though it was still relatively early, I called it a night. It's very hard to stay awake when it's raining outside.
So that was it! All in all, I'd say the weekend was quite enjoyable. This weekend I'll be spending St. Patrick's Day in Chicago!
I'm currently eligible for jury duty though every time I've called in, I've been told that I don't need to report at this time. I really want to be called in though. I mean, what other time is reading all those John Grisham books going to pay off? I have to call again this Wednesday so keep your fingers crossed! :)

The Other Big D
Well, I have returned from a glorious long weekend in Dallas and I have lots to share!
I arrived in Dallas early Thursday evening. Our first stop was Le Madeline for some delicious Panera style dinner. Then we headed back to Nicole's amazing condo (seriously, it's super cute!) and attempted to get ready to go watch the Purdue game. Of course we got distracted by talking and were late...this is a reoccurring theme in our weekend. We went to a bar called Frankie's where I saw Brigid and Brian. Plus I met two other Purdue people! Apparently Dallas attracts Boilermakers. Unfortunately, we all gathered there to watch Purdue lose to Michigan...
Friday I got to sleep in and woke up in time to go to yoga with Nicole. We did hot room yoga which I decided is just a ploy to kill people. Why are people volunteering to workout in a 98 degree room? Just kidding. It was actually fine until I felt like I was ready to pass out and had to leave the room. I found out later that I was actually supposed to stay in there to at least let me my body adjust to the heat. Sorry Mr. Yoga Instructor Man...I didn't want to puke in front of strangers. I actually didn't get sick. But I did spend the rest of the class outside.
After yoga we went back to Nicole's and she did a little working while I walked down the street to get a mani/pedi. I am on vacation after all! Normally I hate mani's but I actually really enjoyed this one and I've managed to go 3 days without ruining it so maybe this will become a reoccuring event.
Friday night we went out to dinner with Jace and Brigid to a place called Sushi Zushi. They had by far the biggest sushi menu I've ever seen! And it was all delicious! After dinner we went to go play with none other then Gregory Schildmeier! After the girls dominated in catch phrase, we decided it was time to head out on the town. We went to a bar Irish bar where of course there had to be car bombs involved! Greg and I made plans for my next visit to be a little reunion in Austin and then Nicole and I proceeded to mock Jace's ability to dress himself. All in all, a very enjoyable evening!
Saturday I slept in way late mainly due to the black hole that I was happily sleeping in. We finally started functioning and headed to the movies to go see Confessions of a Shopaholic (which I thoroughly enjoyed!) complete with a giant icee--a must in Texas. Afterwards we went shopping (what else!) to kill some time before we needed to get ready for the evening.
For dinner on Saturday we started off with champagne and appetizers at Brigid's apartment. I've never seen more gated communities then I did in Dallas. Then we headed off to a restaurant called Cuba Libre where the food was so-so but the sangria was excellent! After that we went to a place called the Corner Bar. The evening was full of lots of laughs and good friends...you can't ask for anything more!
Sunday we woke up in time for brunch at State and Allen. Then it was back to Nicole's to pack up! We headed to the airport and were able to visit a bit with Nicole's mom who happened to be passing through DFW the same day! I also got to ride the Skylink (the tram) at the airport which I enjoyed probably more then most. I got to my gate just in time to board and was given an exit row! I'm pretty sure this was because they saw how tall I was and that I needed a lot of leg room. ;) Aside from a 10 minute delay in Detroit the trip home was hassle free and I collapsed into my bed when I got home just before midnight! The weekend was glorious but I was exhausted!
I did managed to finish New Moon while at the airport (I'm a little behind the bandwagon on the Twilight series). I know everyone said that was the worst one but I liked it.
I'm still looking for my camera cord but I promise pictures will be posted this weekend!
