Someone's Behind...And It's Me

Oh dear, I haven't updated this thing in about a month. Whoops. Well now I am, so 10 points for me.

Ready for some random thoughts from the past month or so?

So I went to Tennessee a couple weekends ago to see Emily's first tee ball game. Mom said she got hit in the head with a ball a couple weeks before that and wanted to quit. But clearly she didn't.

And Seth drove me around. That was slightly weird. I forgot to look at his permit, though.


At work, a co-worker and I were talking about the name of some church in the area. It was called something Primitive something Church. They wash each other's feet. I told him I was going to visit and bring along my foot bath.

I've also decided that I don't have a green thumb. I try, but it hasn't been working out for me. I was attempting to grow a plant that Pete gave me, and it was doing pretty well, but it never bloomed and then got droopy. He told me I killed the love plant...(Like the love fern from "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"...which, coincidentally, is what's on TV right now).

Oh guess what! My first semester is over! Yay...I don't know when I'll find out what my grades are, but I did pretty well on the papers I've written so far.

Emily told me today that she's graduating from kindergarten. That would be really sad if a kid failed kindergarten...Although I think I got a "N" on my report card in kindergarten for "needs improvement" in group work. To say I was shy is an understatement.

This past weekend, I went to Chapel Hill for a journalism conference with people from work. We were supposed to meet at 5:30 in the morning, so I only got about 3 hours of sleep the night before, but it was a lot of fun. And I learned some stuff, which is nice.

Today, I caught up with cutting all my articles out of the paper. It took FOREVER. Before that, I cleaned the apartment and did laundry, so I think that makes up for yesterday when, besides going to the grocery store, I got nothing accomplished...which was GREAT.

Tuesday, I get a visit from Pete! For a week and a day. We'll see how bored he gets while I'm at work. Maybe I'll invest in a body double and see if my boss notices.

By the way, he just graduated so yay again! So did Sarah and Alex. Triple congrats.

But now I'm tired, so I'm hitting the hay. Au revoir.

P.S. I just saw this thing in the paper about a lady having 18 kids, from 20 to 9-months-old and all home schooled...WHY?!
