*finally a weekend*
There were points during this week that I honestly wondered if I would still be alive by today. I ended up having stuff published in the KEG and another column yesterday. Thank goodness I'm getting some real work done there. Some days I end up spending 12 hours on campus, so I keep my toothbrush and toothpaste with me. Good dental hygine even during stressful times is crucial.
I'm still in the middle of a nesting phase, so I'm getting ready to go bake a pie. I've got my mom's recipe for a DERBY pie...it's like chess pie with walnuts and chocolate chips. Very yummy. Very Kentucky.
Figgins and I went to see BIG FISH last night...it was very worthwhile. I reccommend that you see it when you get a chance...it's got a wonderful cast and some really great themes. I didn't cry, although I was misting a little bit.
I hope you are having a great weekend and I love you all!

*the person you are trying to reach is not accepting your calls*
I've turned my phone off. I mean it. I'm sick of stupid calls. Last week at church, the preacher said, "If there is any way you can think of to simplify your life, do it." My phone stresses me out because it rings about 20 times per day. I'm not screening my phone calls, I'm just turning it off and being nondescriminatory.
Isn't it strange how time doesn't seem to move at a steady rate? This week has seemed so much longer than just a week. It was only a week ago that Valarie was here and I was making dinner and we were catching up. It feels like a million things have happened since then. Maybe it's the start of the semester, and maybe not. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.
It's really time to throw my "relationship box" away. Nothing in it really makes me happy anymore and it feels like so long ago that I can't even relate to that part of myself.
