Leaving the seat up. I mean, really.
Umm, don't use the "Self Clean" button on your Kitchen Aid oven. Chances are it WILL break your oven. Good to know.
-Eat something, maybe make a Slim-Fast shake.
-Check e-mail. Mess around on the internet a bit.
-Look for jobs online, using mostly www.ohiomeansjobs.com, www.moster.com, and www.careerbuilder.com
-Usually eat again. I'm still a big fan of Lean Cuisine frozen dinners.
-Play Carcassonne with Mom.
-Try to talk Saffron on a walk.
-Eat something for dinner. Last night I made Giada's Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Lemon, Basil, and Salmon, though I forgot to add the basil...ehh, whateves.
-Watch DVR'd shows with Mom in our one-man recliner. Nice and cozy.
-Talk with Mr. Remo on the phone.
-Read magazines or books in bed. Currently reading The Job-Hunters Survival Guide, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, and old Teen magazines.
-Pray that I find a job.
-Go to sleep around 1:30am.
Tonight: Brand New concert! I'm so excited!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!
What Skype Is Based On???
Remo had never seen The Brady Bunch and didn't know what I was talking about when I said that skyping felt like being in The Brady Bunch intro. Heheh, funny Germans.

BEHOLD! My search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie can end! These seriously are chewy on the inside and oh, so luscious on the outside! Though I had to bake mine for about 15 minutes instead of 10...maybe because I used jelly roll sheets are baking sheets. Please go make them and tell me that you feel the same!
NGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
DIRECTIONS:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2.Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
3.Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
*I added a little more vanilla and used chocolate chunks and baked for about 15 minutes.
Updates:
-I got the most amazing new phone. I'm totally loving it; it has full internet and is a touch screen. It is taking a little of getting used to, but I'm throughly enjoying it. Thanks for the birthday present, Mammy and Pappy!!!
-I'm living on the edge with no health insurance. Ahhhh! I should change that soon, I'm sure.
-I've graduated college! Yahoooo! That was very exciting and feeling like I no longer had that weight on my shoulders was a very nice feeling.
-I'm currently looking for a job in fashion. I know I don't want to do retail, but other than that, I'm open for pretty much whatever. I was offered a job with Revive, the fair trade boutique that I was working for, though I would not be able to make enough money to stay alive. :( Mawww.
-I'll be home for the next month looking for a job and watching Saffron. Awhh, she's such a cutie! :) So: goals for this next month involve the following:
---Find job
---Keep Saffron from eating too much chocolate/soap
---Clean and fully organize my room (which, truly, is a disaster zone since I've moved my stuff so many times in the last 3 months.
---Be a brave girl, should I find any disgusting spiders/bug while I'm without the parents. :-/
---Work on projects for Revive (I was given some work to do for this month...yay!)
---Clean basement/kitchen/laundry room...Have parents label me as their favorite upon their arrival back home.
Naturally, I have plenty to do, and what seems to be enough time to do it in. I'm very grateful and excited for this transitional month. :)

Yay! On my way to graduation with Mr. Remo, where we'll meet Mammy and Pappy.
18 years of schooling and I only have eleven hours until I will be completely done with everything. So thrilling.
Please explain why it appears that my father is on the cover of Golf Digest. I mean, I know he plays a really mean game and all, but when did I miss the photo shoot and everything??
It's really hot in the apartment: HENCE, no sleeping...more sweating. Speaking of sweating...I just finished season one of 24. Wow. It's intense. I can't wait to spend another 7 FULL DAYS watching the other seasons! Yay!
Life in Cleveland is still great. I haven't been shot. I haven't broken up with the b-friend. All is well and good. Except that my mother won't answer my calls but I hear that is because she is in Alaska. Hmm.
Work at Revive=awesome. I created a press release and flyer for One Mango Tree, which I mistakenly kept calling One Tree Hill. Oops.
I will be working almost every game this next homestand for the Indians. All I can hope for is no rain delays and maybe some fun, drunk customers will stumble into the store and buy some of our $90.00 sweatshirts. That'd be lovely. Or really, if someone would just buy one of the $300.00 FenderFlair handbags:hand-embellished with hundreds of Swarovski Crystals, that would just be awesome.
Side note: Lady Gaga is addictive. It's gross. I don't want to like her music but I can't help myself. (Reference:The title of this post)

I'm not sure how updated everyone is on my life but here is a general review:
-Revive: I've been helping to assist the owner of the store (a small clothing/home goods/gifts boutique that features only sweatshop-free clothing (a.k.a. "Fair Trade"))
Typical workday (@ Lisa's home office):
-Come in around 11am.
-Make coffee, Lisa reviews the work I've done and then we talk about all of the projects I am to work on for the day.
-Work at shiny, pretty Mac computer, while listening to NPR (Which I have come to really enjoy).
-My latest project has been putting together spreadsheets to help determine what to buy for the upcoming seasons.
-I work until I'm hungry then I go downstairs to the kitchen, take out the lunch box I brought from home and enjoy some leftover pizza from Pizza BoGo(The "Bombay" pizza is the best pizza I have ever had...and on Tuesdays a large (with as many toppings as you want) is FIVE DOLLARS!>!>!)
-Finish lunch, maybe read a couple of pages from "Tuesdays with Morrie," which is proving to be a very good, insightful read, and then get back to work.
-Maybe research some trends, or find some keywords that could be used in future product descriptions of Revive's website.
-Around 5pm Lisa and I will discuss what all I've done that day and any future plans. I drive 10 minutes back to my place in Little Italy, call Remo, and one of us will usually make dinner or we'll go get something and watch a movie or go for a walk. How lovely.
If this job was paid, this would probably be one of my dream jobs. I find all of the work very interesting and am very happy to have this experience. If I'm not at Lisa's then I'm helping around the store. I've already helped to design and execute a window display as well as handing out flyers at a local parade. All pretty exciting stuff.
-Indians: The internship with the Indians has been a very different experience. I basically sell t-shirts at the 3rd largest clothing stand/shop at the ball park. The people I work with have all been very fun and it's interesting to think about the very different customer base that the Indians have, especially compared to Nordstrom or Revive.
-Living in Cleveland has been great. I really like were my apartment is, very cute area! Cleveland also has a lot of things to do. To help explore everything, Mammy gave me a Cleveland Entertainment coupon book for my birthday. I've already gone to the batting cages, played putt-putt, eaten Baskin-Robins, Burger King, and Hibachi---all at a discount! Haha

So...there you go. Stalk me on facebook if you want to see some pictures. :)

Remo has a fantastic way of putting me into some of the most awkward situations.
Brief Examples:
-Blues dancing workshop. (I've never blues danced before...or have I ever been more sweaty/nervous)
-Meeting his dad. (His dad was fixing Remo's car and I when I went to shake his hand, I noticed that his hands were covered in car grease so...I freaked out and just shook his forearm. Shameface.)
This Past Weekend:
-Went to Remo's "Adopted American Grandma's" 85th birthday surprise brunch...with only Remo's parents and sister. No Remo. He had something else to do and he came an hour later.
-We went to a small BBQ held by Remo's Chinese advisor for Case Western computer science students and staff. Needless to say I was the only 20-something female. Only one without glasses. Only one that speaks just one language.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

CURRENTLY:
-I'm interning with the Cleveland Indians. It's gotten a lot better since the beginning, where I felt an initial shock of, "Seriously?!...All I'm doing is selling t-shirts??" Now, I see my job more as a place to work with and meet a lot of new people. There are a lot of interns there, predominantly girls from Kent. Things are going pretty good.
-I got an internship with REVIVE in Cleveland. It's a fair trade boutique that sells a lot of cute/slightly granola/hippie chick clothing and accessories. It's the only completely fair trade store in Ohio, as far as I know. Training starts in late May. This will be unpaid but it should prove to be a very big learning experience.
-I found a Cleveland roommate...on craigslist. Ha! She seems nice and the location is perfect. She's about 45, works with campus ministry, and has a dog. I'll have my own bedroom and share the rest of the apartment with her...and the dog, of course. Haha. She lives about 6 minutes from Remo and about 15 from Progressive Field (the ballpark)...and about 10 or so from REVIVE. Perfect.
-Remo just got back from Italy. He had a good time and presented his paper. He got to go out to dinner with some people he met there and took lots of food pictures for me, Yay! Haha. He's back now and I've been planning to cook him a dinner of steamed artichokes (These are like the biggest I've ever seem...I'm kind of intimidated...) "Kraft Dinner," and spam like I used to have when I was little (with brown sugar and a little bit of cinnamon). Delicious, right? And I'm going to attempt to make Thai iced tea. Mmmmmm. We shall see how that goes. :)
-Speaking of Remo: things are going very well. I missed him while he was gone though it was quite fun to write each other emails. :) He has his American Citizenship Ceremony tomorrow morning. He's very excited about the whole thing...and I'm excited too, because I get to wear this cute dress that I never have the chance to wear. Hehehe.
BITS AND PIECES:
-I am not going to be doing the Atlanta internship. The cost of doing it would be much to high, especially since it would be an unpaid internship. I would, however, love to work (while getting paid) for them in the future.
-My Kent roommate Catherine moved out on Tuesday. She's not so much the sentimental type so it wasn't too sad. Everything in the apartment(except for my room, naturally) is spotless so I'm going to try my best to keep everything really clean until I move out. And umm...I had no cable or Internet. I've already read one whole book. I'm so very proud of myself. Hahah
-I'm moving out of my Kent apartment May 31st. Mary, my new Cleveland roommate said that I could move my stuff up whenever...so that'd what I'll be doing later on in May.
FUTURE STUFF:
-My old roommates, Holly and Claire, will both be coming to Kent May 24th so we've planned to go out then and relive old times. Awhh, how precious.
-My 23rd birthday is quickly approaching...and I'm feeling a little old. Well, I'm really only feel old when some of my coworkers at the ballpark, who happen to be in high school, tell me that they have a crush of either Zac Effron or Miley Cyrus. Seriously?
SINGING PRAISES(!):
-I'l be able to go to Lake Placid this summer...and Remo has been invited too, so hopefully he can make it as well.
-I finished my HUGE paper/project for my Senior Fashion Merchandising Seminar class...it ended up being 84 pages. Whattttttt?
-I'M DONE WITH ALL OF MY SCHOOL CLASSES! (I only need the internship credits to graduate in August! :)) YAYYY!

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter
I hope, we'll have more than we'll ever need
I hope, we'll have more happy ever after
I hope, we can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery

-I have a beautiful, beautiful new niece, Jane as of 4/6/2009. :)
-I got an internship with the Cleveland Indians (PLA!). This Friday will be opening day. Ah!
-I'm currently looking for a place to stay in Cleveland this summer.
-I have ONE MONTH left of college.
More to come but that is most of the important stuff.

Louis Vuitton-Fall 2009
Researching all day and finishing up Project 2-Line Development for Fashion Merchandising Seminar. Oy Vey.
Last night @ the Rec. Center:
Session 1: Salsa Basic ended. It was a really fabulous class. I loved teaching it and watching everyone learn and grow. Ole!
I'm pretty sure that the next 6-week session begins next week. The class size will be increased from a 25 person maximum to 65 people! Yay!
Interviews:
The Atlanta interview seemed to go fairly well. I really liked talking with the woman there and she was very nice. I met a lot of the girls working in the department and they all seemed friendly as well. I have to be getting school credit in order for AmericasMart to hire me, so that is the main issue of my concern. The internship is to be held in Fall 2009 and I am scheduled to graduate August 2009. We shall see what happens.
The Cleveland Indians interview, I felt, seemed like a more promising fit. I would most likely be working at the Distribution Center all through baseball season. I'd hoping that, even though this internship would start in April, I could still get summer internship credit. Once again, we shall see what happens.
Thank you all so much for prayers and support.
I will know about both opportunities within two weeks.
Good news: I now have three professional references! Yay!
Anddd dancing all this weekend! Yayyyy!

You wake up to find that you’re right where you're supposed to be
Trapped in uncertainty each day’s a mystery
You wake up to find that you’re right where you’re supposed to be
The past is unveiled and you see you’re right where you’re meant to be
Look behind oh how we’ve grown
All the places we’ve been
The places I’ll never never go back again
If I had only known that all was not lost
It always comes around again round again round again
Patiently waiting just waiting
Trapped in uncertainty each day’s a mystery
You wake up to find that you’re right where you’re supposed to be
The past is unveiled and you see you’re right where you’re meant to be
Look behind oh how we’ve grown
All the places we’ve been
The places I’ll never never go back again
If I had only known that all was not lost
It always comes around again round again round again
Patiently waiting just waiting
Just so y'all are aware..."Harem pants" are scheduled to be the next big thing.
Ermm...can't touch this?
Interview with America's Mart tomorrow.
-Flying to Atlanta in the morning. Interview at 2pm.
Interview with Cleveland Indians Wednesday. (Cleveland Indians Distribution Center and Ballpark Teamshop)
-Information regarding the Cleveland internship (as described by my advisor):
"They have 5 openings at their Distribution Center and 6 openings at the Ballpark Teamshop for internships. These are paid internships. Do not procrastinate since they are anxious to fill these positions. The 2009 baseball season is fast approaching and they are looking to begin training soon!"
Ahhh! Please pray for me. :)

What you do is google your first name with the word “needs” next to it and list the first 10 things that appear. So, here goes:
Lesley needs laughs to power her hoverfleet (I couldn't have said it better myself.)
Lesley needs to go to the gym (Well, true fact.)
Lesley needs to go asap (Hermm...)
Lesley needs to meet with you! (Creeps, but alright.)
Lesley needs this Lloyd (I just don't get it.)
Lesley needs to look outside the beltway to attract procurement professionals (Duh.)
Lesley needs a fat reality cheque (Yes. Please.)
Lesley needs a home. (Maw, sad.)
Lesley needs more people? (Naturally. Kent is a lonely sort of place.)
Lesley needs this. (Debatable though I'd go with the flow.)

Ok, se recently I've been feeling the need to do a little "ear candling" and after searching online to find a good place to buy said candles, turns out the whole thing is generally thought of as a dangerous hoax. So sad.
I keep hearing a heartbeat-like/thumping bass sound in my ears every so often.
Can I put hydrogen peroxide in my ears to like, clean them out?
Good idea...bad idea??
Hermmmm.

Yay! So I bought a new camera. True, I've lost and/or broken a LOT of digital cameras. I'm not saying that this time it will be different, though I will be VERY happy to be able to properly document my life once again.
Do I want to get an quality digital SRL or a nice, lightweight camera for about half the price? Ughhhh. Any suggestions?
$300 is far too much for a pair of boots, right? Right. Dangit. :(
He's amazing.
Alice in Wonderland impression.
America's Mart called and kinda said, "Nevermind, Lester. But hows about interning this coming fall or even in 2010?"
:(
I'm feeling very disheartened.

I'm feeling very disheartened.
Things are a'changing!
So:
-Went to the doctor's today and got a z-pac! Yayyy! I'll be all better in no time!
-Called America's Mart and have a tentative interview scheduled for 2pm on February 20th. Ahh! Now I'm just trying to figure out the best way to get there. Flights out of Columbus are about $250. Out of both Akron/Canton and Cleveland are around $300. Hermmm.
-My class schedule is what dreams are made of. I have 1 class Monday mornings, 3 on Tuesday, 1 Wednesday morning, 1 on Thursday (and I teach my salsa class at night), and nothing on Friday. Incredible!
-I helped teach (with my dance partner Sean) my first hour and 15 minute salsa class this past Thursday. There was a very big turnout and the class went very smoothly. Everyone picked up all of the moves so quickly. I was such a proud Poppa...sorta. :)
-The coughing attacks I have had today have been some of the scariest I've ever experienced. Come on z-pac! Come through for me!
Ok. So since I haven't done much of anything since Thursday(when I first got ill-house) I suppose there is no reason in starting now. :) Maybe cleaning my room. Yes.

So, I was not selected for the Natori Internship.
The search continues.
It does not, however, help that I can barely speak right now. I've got a sore throat and a weird, shallow cough. Hopefully this will all go away soon so I can make some phone calls (Mom, I haven't forgotten you and I still love you.) :)

Thank you to everyone that has been praying for me. I really appreciate it and I'm really looking for direction as to where I'm supposed to go. "Everything turns out okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end," right?
Natori:
I think the phone interview went alright. It's always hard to tell and it lasted all of 13 minutes anyways. I should know by the end of the month. I'm pretty sure this is an unpaid position that will take place in New York City.
America's Mart:
Based in Atlanta, this internship would also be unpaid, errand running work much like the Natori position. I'm going to call to set up an interview tomorrow. Hopefully they can do one over the phone, and if not then I suppose it is not meant to be.
Nordstrom:
I'm going in tomorrow to pick up my pay check and to see about a possible internship. This one would be paid and would mostly focus on manager training. I, however, am not currently focusing on becoming a department manager. I could do this internship in Columbus or really anywhere that has a Nordstrom.
Ok. So now you know pretty much what I know. All prayers are warmly welcomed :)

Phone interview (for an internship) with Natori tomorrow morning. Eeep!
I've being interviewed by Ms. Nice. We shall see!
Ok, so I can even see the resemblance. It's a little alarming. Plus, I mean, we share the same affection for homemade popcorn. Duh.
If only $54.95 grew on trees, you know what I mean?
So while I was in NYC, I was on the subway and saw a man carrying a TOD'S bag. Immediatly, I was curious. TOD'S sells very expensive leather goods and I wanted to know why this seemingly average looking dude had such a nice purse and/or leather shoes in his position. (Well, check the writing on his messenger bag...duh.)
TOD'S purse (pictured below): $1,550.
