Cupcakes were awesome! We're going to figure out when we want to plan some celebratory stuff and then we'll order a bunch!

Hope you and your fiance enjoyed the cupcakes!

You are eminently qualified. Obviously this organization is too f---ed up to recognize talent. What is with that strange signature? Very professional! They don't deserve you, Sas.

Speaking as a part-time staff member at the small nonprofit, I hope you'll apply for the position. It would suck to lose you in May!

If you buy a bag of cranberries and follow the recipe on the bag except boil it for longer than it says to,it comes out really well. You will need more than one bag for a crowd that big. P. S. A little bird told me that B. likes this recipe since it is what he got growing up.

I think it's great that you're hosting both families! Sounds like fun and your menu sounds delish! We're also hosting our families this year, but I only have to make a turkey and stuffing :).

Great article on the ongoing battle with psoriasis. I would also try the natural remedy called indigo naturalis. You can read the article and study created by doctors through a university study at http://indigonaturalis.com.

2009-09-08T15:41:54.320-04:00

For real! I think I am going to be working 2 part time jobs and pick up ANOTHER position babysitting! I feel like a teenager! Juggling multiple low paying jobs and watching babies (boo!). At least the baby in question in super duper cute.

But I digress..the 4 month rule is definitely strange and problematic. Although now I'm hoping that they'll just keep extending my job time and I won't have to go back @ all!

2009-09-08T15:37:50.910-04:00

I hear ya, Saskia! My internship #1 is about to wrap up too and the second one is a measly stipend compared to my lovely living wage this summer. Not really sure how it's going to work out! I didn't realize how awkward the 4 month requirement was going to be. At this point, I only need one more month of work and my current internship offered to keep me on for a small stipend. The lazy side of me wants to just finish it up with the current one and be done with the requirement, move in with the parentals and relax/save money til school starts again. Too many choices (and not enough $$$) with this program!!! Anyways, good luck with the rest of fall...and keep in touch. ;) You aren't alone in your frustration! ~Kacie

Okay, I just posted this long winded comment and it dissapeared! LOL
Long story now short, I enjoyed your blog before we officially met and will keep reading and enjoying long after the show! The winner's participation will continue help people with the disease who are still letting it control them. and it was never the outfit (though beautiful, and what a bonus) that stood out the most, it was your confidence holding your head high that people will take away from and remember long after the fashion show lights fade! : ) I wish the very best for you and Ben and please call us next time you are in "the chi" as ben and I would say! LOL

2009-09-08T15:20:26.222-04:00

Saskia,
I enjoyed reading your blog before I officially met you, and enjoy it even more post-fashion show! It's a great feeling when you let psoriasis stop controlling your life, and it's something many people haven't come to terms with. Seeing you and the other winners on the runway will inevitably help others with the disease, as they will see an amazing group of people walk with their heads high in confidence! The outfit was always just a bonus, your confidence level is what really shined! ; ) I wish you and Ben all the best, and hope you contact us next time you're in "the chi" <-as Ben and I call it! LOL : )

Well, it helps that P made sure to create a Note in my iPhone which detailed your hotel room #, correct name spelling, etc. When he makes new friends, he's intends on keeping them! So great meeting you too. You have a real spark for life! Let me know when you & B are ready for your tropical vacay.

2009-09-08T14:44:29.254-04:00

Thanks Trisha! It was so nice meeting all the other winners..and seeing everyone so happy and healthy @ different points in their life was really encouraging!

Please tell P he's pretty darn smart (what a memory!) and that it was great meeting him!
