While flipping through the Baltimore Sun today (it was online, no worries I was being green!) I noticed an interesting article in the Maryland section. A big pat on the back to Maryland High School seniors for leading the nation in taking and passing Advanced Placement exams. Maryland, my Maryland took the lead after years of New York topping the list! According to a recent study, “24.8 percent of high school seniors earning a score of 3 or higher on one AP test compared to 23.4 percent the previous year. Maryland also became the first state in which more than 40 percent of seniors took at least one AP exam.” Keep up the great work Marylanders!!!!

A common snowy activity is sledding. I have not gotten around to sledding this season but I would love to learn how to turn Kulani into a sled dog. For those of you interested in hitting the nearest hill for some fast paced fun but don’t have a sled, here are some suggestions I came across while reading “Fresh Home” (yes I borrowed this magazine from my mom…thanks Mama Lama!)
*A Cookie Sheet
*Inflatable pool toy
*Plastic Laundry basket
*Flattened cardboard box-don’t forget to recycle after sledding!
*Plastic garage cover
I hope everyone has a super sledding experience…for further ideas check out Clark Griswald 
So I decided after several days of living in sweatpants, shoveling, and baking I should post a blog for all of my faithful readers to share what is going on here. If you’ve watched the news, or are from the Mid Atlantic region, you already know that we are in the midst of historic snowfall. We have beat all of the records, even though there is a debate as to whether the BWI snow accumulation is correct or not. The Baltimore City and State snow plans are in full force trying to combat the snow and keep our streets open. Apparently, if you were caught driving in the city you could be taken to jail! Why people think they should drive in this is beyond me! I have four wheel drive and the only place we’ve gone in the past week is the Giant half a mile down the road! We had to reload of food since I decided we should have a cookout last night to pretend it was summer! The cookout turned out just great! We shoveled the grill out and were able to grill up the burgers and hot dogs before the new snow storm caused too much damage! And in case anyone was hungry… I have plenty of potato salad left over since I only know how to make it in 5 pound increments.
So now that Stevenson is closed until Sunday, I’m just not sure how I will fill my days. I suppose tomorrow I will try to find the sidewalks again since this new snow covered up what we accomplished earlier. Let’s check out some snow pics from Snowmageddon part one:

I hope everyone is staying safe and warm during this crazzzzzzzzzzzzy weather!!!!

A CRAZY Grocery Store Shopping Experience.
I know, I know, we should have gone to the Giant, our local Grocery Store, last night or even the night before. But that just did not work with our schedules. So tonight after work we ventured out and spent two, yes TWO, hours picking up the “basics” and a few other snacks for the Super Bowl on Sunday. I have somehow missed experiencing the “Pre Snow Storm in Baltimore Shopping Experience” and could not believe what I saw. …
If you were planning on chomping on chips while watching the Super Bowl I hope you picked up a couple bags prior to tonight! While there were a few gallons of milk left, the same can’t be said about bread, ground turkey, and orange juice!
We spoke to one of the employees who was restocking the meat shelf who told us that typically the Giant made about $8,000 on a Thursday in February. But today they had made $27,000 by 7pm!!!! There were still plenty of people shopping and buying what was left when we were trying to find a short line. Here was one of the lines:
Needless to say, it was QUITE the experience!! I am now recovering from the shopping excursion in sweats on the couch, where I will probably remain the rest of the weekend

For those of you who are you looking for a university with unique quirks and special secrets…SU is your school! I’ll let you in on one of those little secrets. One of the vending machines on campus will randomly dispense an extra soda for the price of one! Some caffeine addicts think that if you hit the button rapidly you will receive a magical extra soda. This is not the case, the extra soda will appear randomly and unexpectedly. Now for the sake of not wanting this Magical Vending Machine to be taken away, I won’t say where it is located. I’ll let you find it on your own!
And a special thank you to my wonderful boss Bob who shared his extra soda with me today!!!!
Happy February Everyone! In my family we always say Rabbit Rabbit on the first day of the month….not sure exactly where this tradition came from originally but it’s something that I grew up saying
February is a very important month in my opinion! My Dad’s Birthday is this month (Happy early Birthday Daddy-o), my birthday is later this month (the 24th), Valentine’s Day is in a couple weeks, and of course today is the deadline for the University Honors Program and our Scholarship Consideration Deadline. Make sure you send in your applications or have them postmarked by today!

In case you haven’t heard, seen the commercials, or been on campus recently…Stevenson University is getting a football team! To give prospective footballers an idea of what to expect we held a Football Open House this past Saturday. Over 150 potential footballers from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia spent the day on our beautiful Owings Mills campus.
The visitors were able to meet Coach Ed Hottle, hear information about the Admissions process, and learn about our majors. Of course we also offered campus tours, the opportunity to check out our awesome Residence Halls, and taste our food at the Rockland Marketplace. Overall, it was a GREAT day! If you are interested in learning more about the Football Team or any of our athletic teams please visit our Athletics Website!

When thinking of catchy blog title to describe the new Owing Mills Campus sign the first thing that came to mind was my sister Carly’s fave song (granted this was about 10 years ago..love you Birdie!)
But perhaps there are readers out there who did do a double take or open their eyes a bit more after seeing the beautiful new campus sign!
Now when you drive to our campus this is the entrance that will greet you…
Way to go to the construction team who worked extremely hard to deliver this new entrance just in time for our Football Open House!
