It’s currently a breezy 77 degrees as I write this in Plano … the sun is shining … it’s GORGEOUS outside … and I feel fantastic. I’ve now had three days off, three glorious days that have left me feeling well rested, at peace with my world, and generally happy with my life. It’s wonderful.
note to self:
Apparently, referring to them as crazies in a public forum (such as this blog) helps keep them at bay. Because, thank the lord, The Carp failed to materialize as promised (threatened?). PRAISE ALLAH. And praise my boyfriend, who came along just in case some quick PDA was needed to ward him off.
my stomach hurts today…
… And that’s because last night, Daniel and I went to the Lakewood Theater in Dallas to see Lewis Black (of The Daily Show‘s “Back in Black” fame) perform. He. Was. Hilarious. His humor is *SO* Liz. His politics? *SO* Liz. It was one of the best nights out I’ve had in ages, and the …
call them boomerangs … bad pennies … whatever.
Alright, remember a couple weeks ago, I was talking about what Tommy calls the “boomerang boys“? Well, as I said then, the reappearance in my life of people I’ve dated — and by this I mean, people with whom I have not had an extended relationship — has always been something of a freakishly common …

a few notes …
I’m still on cloud nine. Class last night was awesome. This is hilarious. I love bagels for breakfast. I want one. Tonight is a practicum night.
yes, yes, yes, it WILL be a better week!
UTD just called. Well, more specifically, the secretary in the School of Social Science just called. To tell me … YES! I’m admitted for the Ph.D. program in the fall. I have a meeting with the chair of that program, Dr. Marianne Stewart, at the end of February, just to go over expectations, getting started, …
the inevitable 2/14 post
