Busy bees make tasty honey.

Grad school in the summer is kicking my butt!! But, you know, it's in that really productive, feeling good about myself, happy to be motivated and doing something positive kind of way. I can't complain.

I made a pact with myself to put forth whatever effort must be exerted to receive a 4.0 for my Master's. So far, so good!

I haven't turned on the television, except to decompress and try to fall asleep on occasion, in the past 3 weeks. I can't even tell you what is happening in the world at large. Last I heard, CNN was talking about Michael Jackson non-stop (overkill, if you ask me ... no pun intended).

So, that's my life right now. I'm taking a break this evening to hang out with Kala for a bit, then it will be back to the books.

As soon as I can pull my head from all that is the Texas Tech Education Department (taking only Education courses this summer), I will have a much more exciting update to share. In the meantime, working on that 4.0, baby! ;)

1st day of school.

I start grad school today!! I'm all aflutter.

Updates, pictures of the new house, discussion, and much more to come. Right now, I need to make myself some breakfast, get a little coffee, and start walking to campus (yes, I can actually *walk* ... deeee-lightful!). :)

Yea!!!!

"You're drownin', Shoog!"

What I really want to know is how in the world I have ended up with so much STUFF?! I mean ... geez, Louise, folks! The packing is downright incessant.

I am taking a HUGE, MONSTROUS, GIGANTIC carload (possibly 2) of things to Goodwill today. Then I am heading to the "record-sell-back-store" ... whatever ... we'll call it "Ralph's" because that is my only point of reference. Then I need to go to the church around the corner and drop off a box of books for their book drive that I saw fliers for at our mailbox yesterday.

All of that, and I *still* am not done with packing. I've saved the kitchen until now because I still cook every day at home. I guess it'll just have to be sandwiches and cereal for the next 3 days. :)

But, yeah, seriously ... 10 years of living "on your own" coupled with an acute case of sentimentality will accumulate into some mass amounts of business hanging around. It's nuts!


(For those who think I have lost my mind with the title of this post ... it's from King of the Hill, a show I have become addicted to via reruns on Adult Swim. I conveniently blame my boyfriend.)

Wow.

Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Ed McMahon all in one week ... sad times for the entertainment industry.

Lazy, hazy, crazy days.

I haven't been posting lately because my life has transitioned into some sort of dream world where I have absolutely no schedule, obligations, or responsibilities ... nor does the person with whom I co-habitat. Both of us are off work until we start school, and we really just do whatever we feel like, whenever we feel like.

It's thrown somewhat of a wrench in my structured little schedule where I actually get things done, and pride myself on extreme productivity ... but it's actually been pretty lovely.

It all ends soon, though. There are mass amounts of packing and sorting and Goodwill dumping that must be accomplished before the U-Haul arrives on June 30th. I plan to get rid of about a quarter of my net accumulation before we head back to Lubbock. There's a time to keep and a time to give. Now is the time to give!

I'll get back on track with ... well ... everything ... once school starts back up on July 7th. Until then, I think I'll just stay right where I am, doing what I what, when I want, and enjoying every minute of it!

One month.

Yet another exciting revelation about our new house:

No more SCREAMING couples on the opposite side of our bedroom wall waking us up at 7 o'clock every, single Sunday morning like clockwork.

Awesome! Those two "lovebirds" are totally whack ...

Glee

Fox has pulled a tricky, tricky move ... they forced us to watch the pilot of Glee, made it completely fabulous, and are now withholding the remainder of the goods until the Fall.

What a nasty thing to do!

Ugh, if you didn't get a chance to check out the first episode on its original air date (a couple of weeks ago), it will apparently be running throughout the entire summer. Watch it!
