"Can I take your order?" "Yes, I'll have a KATV-channel 8 cooked extra lame with a side of tremendous idiocy, please."

Really, channel 8? Really?

I was pretty frustrated last week when instead of showing the LOST season premier you had a basketball game on, but then I sit down last night to watch the television program that I most look forward to each week and, guess what...

YOU ARE ONCE AGAIN SHOWING A BASKETBALL GAME INSTEAD OF LOST!!

I could cut you a little slack if these were playoff games or even if an Arkansas team was playing in either game, but since neither applies all I can say is that I am beyond infuriated. If this happens again next week....I don't even know yet, but it won't be good.

All Work and No Play

Sheesh!

Christmas break was a complete blur. Actually, I'm gonna extend that blur out to the past 2.5 months. Busy, busy, busy! It was still a decent break though. I made it through finals and passed all my classes (phew!). Then it was on to wedding cake and celebrating E&J's fabulous wedding. Great times!! A few days later I was on a jet plane to MN for the Dad's family Christmas. Then it was back to work for the entire last week of vaca. including new years eve AND new years day. (Grrr...not my intention...never again will I tell work they can schedule me as much as possible during a certain time period.) Now I'm back in school looking forward to the last semester of classes! Woohoo!

The new year this year has felt a little strange so far. Not sure why. I just feel kind of old I guess...not in an "OMG, wrinkles and gray!" hair kind of way...just like my life isn't where I pictured it being when I was younger...and I don't mean that in a bad way, just that it is different. I sense this underlying feeling of time running out. Yes, I know in the grand scheme of things I'm still quite young, so in all reality I have many, many years left to do all the things I wish to do with my life (knock on wood)...it's just interesting how your perspective can shift from one year to the next. That's all.

I've never been one for resolutions, but I am looking to get things organized around the house. After living somewhere for almost three years the clutter builds up in the nooks and crannies and it is now time to tackle it...Spring cleaning, if you will since the weather down here already feels like it's about to turn in that direction to me. I don't know how you people tolerate such a lack of frosty weather!! :)
