I have an interview with the Peace Corps on Monday...

robert's making peaches in some type of french wine sauce. it smells yummy. anything to get him away from the damn harry potter book. i find it incredibly annoying that he gets to read it first, and before it comes out! shame on those who find it necessary to post copies online. it takes all the magic and anticipation out of it. myself, i'll buy a ( Read more... )

oh facebook...taking up precious (or is it) time this morning. i'm in a really good mood despite the fact that i can't really move. oh stairs from u-village, how i love you! hanging out with good people drinking bad wine and playing pictionary is just good times. oh, and go see little miss sunshine. it's lovely really. i think i'm going to clean ( Read more... )

Only in Athens for three more nights! Then to NY on Monday and home Thursday. Kind of scared to fly with all the increase security....especially to NY. Hopefully all goes well. Expect phone calls when I get back into the states!
