On the road again, finally going home. I loved the weekend, but I have a paper to write, proofread & submit by midnight. As it is, I'll probably only have an hour to do everything plus the two discussion questions for the week, of course. This sucks. One high point, though, is that my mom, sisters and I are going to pick up my mom's mother-of-the-bride dress and my sister's shoes tomorrow. This is the 2nd try for both, so hopefully everything is good this time as I would love to check a few more things off my (ever-growing) to do list. Have a great rest of the day everyone.

Sis 1, K, is graduating this weekend - again! She's receiving her second bachelors (neuroscience last year, and psychology this year) and is off to grad school in the fall. Congrats sis!!! I am so proud of her :) Sis 2, S, was inducted to the foreign language honor society this year - for French - and will be graduating next year (then off to grad school for mathematics) & Sis-in-law, K, is starting med school in August! I'm so proud of all my sisters. They work so hard. I do love graduation weekend. Of course, moving years worth of stuff to move my sister out of her apartment...I could do without. If Ben Gay or Icy Hot made a full body cast-like wrap, I'd be all over that right now :) Hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday weekend. Happy Memorial Day!

And the beat goes on...

I had to get the other side of that sign! Apparently, the rapture raptor is coming. I have to say, whoever drew the sign captured the raptor's 'it factor' wonderfully :)

The rapture is (apparently) nigh...

Everyone handles the potential end of the world in their own way, I guess. Have an amazing Friday everyone (it was a long time coming this week)!

Why am I still awake?!

I know I have to get up for work in a handful of hours, but my brain just won't relax. So, in an effort to forget the numerous crap that filled my weekend, I'm re-reading a literary classic.

This reading material may not be fundamental, but it is fun.

Okay, classic may be taking it too far, but it sure is funny as hell. Just a few more idiotic emails, and my brain should slow down enough for me to get some sleep, right? :)

Good night everyone & have a great Monday!

I got my shots!

Forgot to update :) The jewelry place did a wonderful job with both my and P's rings. They replaced one of her diamonds and put in my shots (as you can see above). Quick, easy, and they cleaned and shined my ring amazingly well all for $20. All that fretting = me finding my new jewelry place! Now...off to pick up some bridesmaid dresses and enjoy this amazing Saturday. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Hump Day...but I still wish it was Friday.

Over the weekend, while errand running (why must all weekends be significantly wasted with errand running?) I walked past an Internet lounge and saw this sign.


Floppy disk?! The word instantly filled my head with visions of the old AOL homepage loading my dial-up connection. I got chills.

This morning I dropped my engagement ring off at a local jeweler to have a couple of shots put in. I've been shopping around for one that did not require me to send my ring away for months, and despite the sign below, several co-workers, including P who dropped her ring off too, state that this place does good work.

Oddly, not so comforting.

I swear the lady had to practically pry the ring off my finger. I haven't been without it since O put it on me over a year ago. My finger feels uncomfortably naked now...and my heart is racing a bit worrying that they will try to switch rings on me, or something worse. They said it would be done in an hour - just enough time for me to go out and purchase my own jewelers loupe. Just kidding.

Did anyone else hear/read about the juror that was given indefinite juty duty?

Definitely check out the Daily News article if you haven't. Not sure of the woman's motivation for saying what she did, but I can't fault the judge for being outraged.

Anyway, have a great Hump Day everyone!
