June always seems to sneak up on me — which probably seems weird, since my birthday’s in early June (so you’d think I’d be paying extra-special attention), and May is so long you can’t help but notice it’s almost over for several days before it really is. Still, changing the calendars over to June this …
I’m all *married* now
Wow. I didn’t realize my final thought before vanishing for 2+ weeks was about my root canal. Honestly, that feels like it was about two months ago. Yes, friends, I’m back — married, relaxed, even (can you believe it?!?!) somewhat TAN. As I have long suggested my skin is not capable of tan, this is …
I guess I grew up somewhere in there
Most people my age have already hit the point where they stop wanting to be older and start fishing for you to tell them how young they are/look/act. My friends love to be carded, because they feel young whenever it happens. I haven’t ever felt that way, though; I have such a young face and …
down to the wire
I am surprisingly relaxed right now, all things considered. The last of my finals is due a week from today. I have a paper to finish by 2:00 tomorrow, and one of the finals (the hardest one) to finish by Thursday morning. I proctor a final Thursday morning and have to grade them ALL before …
the pool is officially open!
I’m happy to report that, after several really hot days (I hear some records were broken), our pool is now warm enough for swimming! I spent most of last week predicting we’d be able to get into it when we returned from last week’s 3 1/2-day trip to San Antonio (I went to the Southwest …
the value of dental pain? free lunch!
I hate dentists — have I mentioned that before? Daniel has long insisted that his dentist is different, the best dentist he’s ever been to, and has been clamoring for me to go see this miracle worker practically since we met. I will happily concede his point; Dr. David Toney is a great dentist and …
checking in.
There are only about 30 days left in the spring semester, and the daily rise in tension on campus is quickly becoming palpable. Everyone’s starting to stress about the stress… and honestly, that’s about to move into the realm of full-blown stress given the fact that our first big term paper is due a week …
and, I’m spent.
Until this morning, I had completely forgotten how it feels to work so hard at the gym I left crying. Towards the end, my trainer, Chris, said, “Wow, I’ve never seen you this tired.” (“Never” being a relative term meaning not the last two times I worked out with him.) I asked him how he …
exhausted, but elated
Before I get started, Kevin Nealon was great. He was by no means the funniest comic I’ve ever seen at the Improv (far, far from it, actually), but the experience of seeing him perform was fantastic and we had a wonderful time out Saturday night. Now, to the topic of today’s post. The feeling has …
Kevin Nealon!
Tonight, we’re going to see Kevin Nealon at the Improv in Addison. And I am SO EXCITED! I have loved Kevin Nealon ever since he was “Weekend Update” on Saturday Night Live back in the 1990s, and his more recent TV role on “Weeds” has also become a favorite. How fun!
