I now have an Internet connection and some spoiled-brat/soon-to-be-destitute cable. The cable is making me feel a bit queasy for some reason, so it may not stay long. Sigh. I will miss it so when it's gone even though I have watched something on cable only once in the past few weeks. I've always been oddly comforted by TV. No matter what horrible ( Read more... )

I want to send a public thanks to all of my friends for being the most fantastic people ever created. Sarita, you really helped me out this weekend in ways beyond comprehension. Dee and Albert (even though Albert doesn't read LJ), thank you for letting us loaf in your hotel room and for taking us on a dolphin adventure. It was so peaceful and so ( Read more... )

Would you like an update from underneath my rock? Would you? That's a shame. Here it is ( Read more... )

Sigh. I just realized that my next summer class starts on the 29th, which means I am getting launched right back in after I wake up from my current nightmare. I have to choke out twenty pages of lesson plan and rationalization by Saturday, and I just want to curl up in a little ball and quiver for a while (for that and so many other reasons).

Sigh. I forgot until last night that I intended to send my sister a first mother's day gift, and last night was obviously too late to send anything. I decided to stay up until 6 a.m., which led to not getting up til noon, and only then did I have the bright idea to send her flowers. So I picked this really pretty arrangement with purple and yellow ( Read more... )

Soooo. How was Orpheum? Did Valerie make out with strangers? Inquiring minds want to know ( Read more... )

I'm going to keep making whiny, short posts until the cows come home, or until you comment and tell me nice things that I want to hear ( Read more... )

If I am less than social or amusing over the next three-six weeks, it's because overly-short classes are eating the few remaining vestiges of my soul. How's that for melodrama?

I bought my snazzy dresser. It kicks some serious dresser ass. My underwears have never been so at home.

Someone should have told me to postpone my summer classes until June in the interest of taking a break. I'm pretty sure that my motivation level is not high enough right now to wax scholarly about child development four days a week. It's too late, though. They've already got my fake money, and there's nothing I can do. This guy wants assignments ( Read more... )

Should I buy this dresser? It's not the best ever piece of mid-century modern furniture, but it sort of meets my criteria, it's cheap, and it's in Lakeland. I think it may be a worthy investment. Ehhh?
