Harper College’s Alexandra Mason was named an NJCAA Div III All-American Volleyball player for the 2009 season. This is a prestigious honor as only 18 players are selected for All-American honors each year.
Alex led the nation in kills and blocks for the season.
With this latest honor, Harper College has been recognized with a total of 10 All-American Volleyball players from head coach Bob Vilsoet’s program.
My first two night shifts were not bad. I slept ok, not great, but just ok. Also, I never hit that “wall” people talk about in the middle of the night when you just get so tired. I think I was mostly just running on adrenaline of being in a new situation combined with critical care patients. So far, the people are nice and awesome, too, so that’s a plus.
I feel like the night shift could give me a nice, slow pace to learn, but truthfully, I feel I would learn better on days because I feel I benefit a lot from seeing all of the different disciplines who come to see patients. And rounds? C’mon, the MDs in the ICU are quite smart and I always learn something new about my patient and their process when they round and everyone talks.
But, I am giving it a chance.
In other news, I have decided that I have a facebook addiction and it is not good. And so, I have logged out and removed the direct link to my account from my bookmark bar. I think I just need a break. I feel like facebook is just one big facade. I cannot explain it.
This article kind of explains how I feel: https://www.adbusters.org/magazine/80/quit_facebook.html
I just think I might be more productive or clear mind without it for awhile…and for awhile, I mean about a week or a few days at least. I mean, I’m almost 25, it just seems like a juvenile thing to be doing all the time, haha
As another side note, I’m currently reading this book: http://www.halftheskymovement.org/

Every week we bring you our favorite eating and cooking from our friends at Serious Eats. This week we couldn’t pass by this recipe from Madhur Jaffrey: chicken that calls for an entire half pound of cilantro leaves! Plus there’s a gift guide for gluten-free cooks, a Mobius strip doughnut, and rabbit and garlic soup.
We just came across a kitchen that we do believe manages to have it all. It’s warm and glowing, painted in that yellow color we do love in kitchens. It’s artistic, with art scattered about, and an antique table from Italy in the corner. And yet it’s also practical in so many ways; it’s clear that a real cook lives here.

Leftover holiday goods from last year (or even this year) can easily be turned into fun holiday decor for the season. You save an item from the landfill and crafting items from recycled goodies saves money.
This month you’ve probably got some large tin cans hanging around – especially if you’ve been making pies in bulk with canned goods. This is the perfect opportunity to make lovely homemade Recycled Holiday Luminaries.
You’ve got lots of choices about how to reuse scrap gift wrap from last year. I was thinking you could make some adorable recycled cereal box houses, then dress them up for the holidays. Not only a cute idea, but something the kids could totally help with. You can make beautiful recycled gift wrap scrap cards. You can also create paper Christmas trees with recycled construction then cover them with ornaments made from recycled gift wrap.
Lastly you can use small scraps of recycled gift wrap around drink glasses at your holiday party or gathering. People can write their names on their cup without marking the glass and more easily tell them apart.
One of my favorite craft ideas is the Illuminated Wreath (shown above) that I saw at Real Simple. Grab a wire wreath frame and an old set of lights and you’re good to go. I realize the downside is the energy use, but you can limit that by unplugging this wreath at night when everyone heads off to bed.
A great useful reuse craft is to turn old holiday greeting cards into brand new gift boxes – seriously these are awesome and gift boxes can be expensive so this solves two issues.
What holiday reuse ideas do you have?

Q: Any suggestions for how to use up hot cocoa mix?
Every year for Christmas my mother-in-law gives me more than I could drink in five years, let alone one, and I hate to see it go to waste.

Wow, look at this baked fish in a salt crust from The Italian Dish; we have always wanted to try this ourselves!
I know we’ve been talking about Christmas cookies a lot these past couple of weeks (hey, it’s the season!) but here’s just one more pretty thing for your cookie baking adventures. If I was going to buy one new set of cookie cutters this year, this would be it.
