Huh, what do you know.
Well, that’s it! That’s the whole post. I found that single sentence saved in my drafts just now and am wondering why in the hell I bothered to save it. I’m also wondering what it is that we were supposed to know, exactly. Hmm.
I don’t really have anything cohesive to write about, but feel sort of obligated to throw something up. Meh. Here, have some bullet points:
- AE somehow managed to stab himself in the hand with a pencil on Saturday night. It was pretty impressive, actually. He was totally upright and then all of a sudden he was on the ground with a bloody puncture wound. Fortunately, he seems none the worse for wear, especially when you consider how big of a wuss he can be sometimes.
- Miss T’s gym had their “mini-Olympics” on Saturday. We still expect her to react to large crowds and/or new situations like her brother would have at that age (or now, if we’re being honest) – slack-jawed and dazed with a complete loss of ability to focus. However, she did great, showing off her prowess on the various apparatus (apparati? apparatuses?) and just generally being cute. All the participants got a T-shirt and a trophy, so she was pretty excited about that.
- I’m swamped at work. SWAMPED. I know I say that a lot but OMFG I MEAN IT FOR REALS THIS TIME. Holy hell. For every thing I get done 3 more things appear on my desk. I’ve got people I haven’t heard from in weeks suddenly appearing to submit proposals. It isn’t just me, either. Almost every single person in my department is about ready to scream. I keep hoping that some of the faculty will go away for the summer and give us a break, but so far, no dice.
- N and I are leaving for Baltimore on Friday to go to his college roommate’s wedding. I’m really looking forward to it. I love air travel, and weddings, and dressing up, so I win all around! I’ve got a new dress for the wedding, and MacGyvered a pretty impressive belt solution to my as-yet-unworn rehearsal dinner dress (if I do say so myself). Pictures of my genius to follow post-wedding, I promise.
- Speaking of MacGyver, I understand that the new MacGruber movie tanked. BWAHAHAHAHA SERVES THEM RIGHT FOR MAKING FUN OF MY BELOVED MAC. Ahem. <——NERD
- I am ridiculously, embarrassingly excited about the NCIS season finale tomorrow night. (See above re: nerd.) But that’s okay! I will not apologize because it’s a great show.
- August needs to hurry up and get here. Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to everything we have going on this summer, but my first grad school class begins on August 17 and am really looking forward to getting started.
- I have reserved my spicy chicken sandwich at the local Chick-fil-A on Tuesday, June 1, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. N made fun of me when I gleefully announced my reservation confirmation, but who will be enjoying their yummy FREE lunch that day? This bitch, that’s who. No free sandwiches for poo-pooing skeptics. It’s a Doodles the Chicken policy.
- I’m never sure how to end a bullet point list. So, the end.
