Well, I&#039ve finally decided to post after not having messed with the internet for a couple weeks. I&#039m not sure what it is about being home all day, but it makes me incredibly uninterested in my computer. I&#039ll admit that for a while it was the fact that we had no internet, and by the time it came back up, I was far too involved in my cross stitching and movie watching to really care a whole lot. But here I am, posting once more to let the world know that I haven&#039t fallen off the face of the planet again. I&#039ve had the husband do some retooling of my site so that it looks different. I&#039d been meaning to change the appearance of the site for several months but hadn&#039t gotten around to it mostly because I was waiting for a good opportunity to start afresh which the recent move permitted. Spiffy, eh?

At any rate, I&#039ve been pretty lazy the past several days. There&#039s laundry which needs to be put up as well as trash which needs to be taken out. We still have a pile of boxes here behind my desk which needs going through, and my desk is woefully unfinished even after three weeks of being here. Part of this I blame on the week-long cold I had all of last week. Part of this I blame on lots of errand-running and having had the little bro up here for a whole week after having moved. Most of it I blame on laziness and side projects such as the campaign I&#039m running in DnD, all the cross stitching I&#039ve done (I&#039ll have to post pics later) as well as the refound enthusiasm for Katamari Damacy. I suppose, at least, that I&#039m enjoying the last few days I have of my forced vacation. I go back to work Monday which means I&#039ll have to finish figuring out my syllabus for Univ 101 all over again as well as start working full-time on my thesis in order to get it done by October or November. Since Tony moved to Indy, I won&#039t be spending entire evenings in his office anymore, though I may be spending future evenings in the library huddled over old books. I have to say I&#039m looking forward to it. I love research.

Well, one way or another, I&#039m rambling, as usual. I really ought to check my e-mail and start cleaning. Maybe I&#039ll grab a shower and start working on some of these boxes. At the very least, I should get my desk in order for the up-coming semester. No sense in not being ready to teach or to learn, eh? Hope everyone out there&#039s doing fine since I haven&#039t been keeping up on web pages or e-mail. I&#039ll start messing with that once I&#039m stuck in my office for eight hours a day. Happy birthday, Sarah! You may be getting older, but you&#039re not getting any taller. Be thankful? Hope you have a great b-day, little sis. Laters, all!
