Monday, November 28


The above photo showcases Conlin's latest invention--tear-catchers. He was kind enough to make me a pair upon my brother's departure. They are both functional and flattering (as you can see)...and...I mostly included the photo because lately I've been feeling pressure to include photos. To make up for my scrambled writing, mayhap? Anyway, there's a photo--take it or leave it.

Um. Next. Today is Monday. (Yes, feel free to quote me on that). And though I should be feeling completely overwhelmed (four 15-page papers due next week and a couple nasty projects--nasty as in time-consuming, not nasty as in inappropriate and honor-code breaking), I'm not. I am feeling delusionally up to the remaining madness. Thanksgiving break was just what I needed.
I was with Conlin's family this year and we drove down to Las Vegas to spend time with their (now my) extended family. Oh, and in case you're in need of a visual: we rented a bright orange dodge caravan for the excursion. Aaaaahhhh yeah. The trip was lovely and provided the Gull family will ample opportunity to get sick of me.

And I can feel my organization starting to spiral so, to simplify things, here's a list of thoughts I've had in the last week:

-praise be the weather is no longer warm enough for student A to expose his hairy and seemingly moist toes daily in bright yellow flip flops.
-I have delightful in-laws. (seeing as the odds are stacked against this, I am incredibly lucky).
-I am going to design a clothing line that caters to people with freakishly long torsos, giant butts, and "athletic" legs. So, to the four other humans who were born with this particular set of features, ya welcome.
-I love coaching and my team is comprised of adorable human beings.
-Mashed potatoes and gravy are underrated.
-Hoorah for an NBA season.
-Do my jeans make my butt look big? Right. That's just my butt.
-I wish I was eating milk duds.

This goes without saying, but if it wasn't on the list, I didn't think it.

And oooh good heavens. THAT PICTURE. I SELECTED THE SMALL OPTION! DO YOU HEAR ME BLOGSPOT? I ASKED FOR A SMALL DISPLAY OF MY FACE- argh.

Will someone pahlease teach me how to blog? I'll make you cookies. That is not a jest, I will seriously make you cookies if you teach me how to make my face not life size. No one needs to see that.

  1. You don't need lessons, this blog post is amazing. I for one especially enjoy that invention, and since I am less composed than you about the impending doom of finals, I may make some of my own. They look... very effective.

  2. hahah this post rules.
    I particularly like the enlarged picture of your face. BUT.. if you really want to change it, have you updated to the new editor? cuz with that one, you can change the sizes easier. aannndd in the page layout you can change the width of your columns so that large pictures wont bleed into your sidebar. if you want help, call me! 801.361.6084. and I will even save you the hassle of making cookies, because I made a stupid goal to have no cookies in the month of december. i'm an idiot.
    Good luck pretty lady!
