Just spent the last 30 minutes driving around the 2 blocks surrounding my home.  I popped in a mix CD from the good old days, rolled the windows down and thought of most of the people I love.  Every time I got close to pulling onto my street another great song came on or I was right in the middle of singing along to the chorus of some song that reminded me of someone infinitely special.

Have you ever been a part of something that you thought would never end?  And then of course it did.

Here's a screen I haven't seen in a while. 


And I have nothing to say.

Alex and I are going on a three week adventure.  Destination Ohio with 4/5 days spent driving through and staying in Memphis, St.Louis and Chicago.  Then on to Cleveland, then up to Niagra Falls and possibly up to Toronto for a couple of days.  Then back to Cleveland for wedding things(Alex is a groomsman) and then Memorial Day in Indiana (near Peru) to visit his aunt and uncle's farm.

If anyone has any recommendations for things to do en route that would be great.  I think Cleveland itself is pretty planned out but we're just wandering around the other cities to find stuff.

So far, I'm making us stop(or rather detour) to visit William Faulkner's house, Rowan Oak in Oxford MS. Something Alex has no interest in, but he humors me.  That's the only thing I really have planned out.

what else what else what else


Got a Kindle2.  Don't like the idea of not owning my books physically but that's sort of possessive isn't it?

Also been working on a short story that's turning out to be much longer than the term short story implies.

Here are pictures from New Year's Eve.  Check 'em out, they were good.  Pay no mind to my horrible hair.  I couldn't touch it so it was sticking up most of the night.  I'm not in most of them as I was the sober camera woman.  :P 


I love my friends.  Seriously.

( My favorites )

I'm so lonely.  And missing the boy, who is out of town for forever.  And school's out so it's not like I'm bursting with things to do.

So if I have this surgery, I will have had two cosmetic surgeries within the last few years.  

I'm well on my way to being that cat lady.



In other news....

I saw the Moscow Ballet perform The Nutcracker at the Majestic this weekend.  I've never been to a ballet.  It was nice.  It's pretty amazing the things people can do with their body.

Alex and I went to the King Tut exhibit at the DMA today.  It was good but I recommend getting the audio tour if you go.  We got out of there a bit later than expected, at around 5, so we thought we were going  to be in horrid traffic leaving Dallas and back to Plano.  Not the case though.  It was actually fairly decent other than a 5 minute rough spot right before and right after 635.

I've been pretty down lately.  I blame the impending feeling of doom that the holidays bring.  Ugh.   I went to the mall Sunday.  Christmas music already!  UGH.  I know, I know, I may be a scrooge or a grinch or whatever else but I'm not a fan of the season.  Too much stress.  Too much tension.  And way too many letdowns.  Hopefully I'll be drugged through the whole ordeal thanks to my surgery.

Don't call me racist.

It doesn't look like Peter.
