Nose to the Grindstone

Accomplishments of Spring Break:

1. Emmeline is a (not so happily, but healthily) spayed kitty. She was ultra-cuddly there towards the end of my visit - I think it was because she was afraid of being sent back to "the bad place" (ie. the vet).

2. I moved Stefan's bed to his room and the futon to my room.

3. I cleaned out most of my extraneous junk from my room AND cleaned out my closet, resulting in two large garbage bags of clothes for selling/donating/hand-me-downs.

4. Dyed my hair - it's auburn again, and it looks quite nice. Not TOO red, but it livened up the brown.

5. Watched "Fight Club" and got Momma addicted to "Firefly" quite successfully. I shall just add that Edward Norton is OMGGORGEOUS. I want to marry him and have his babies. Also, Nathan Fillion is dreamy like whoa.

6. Spent most of Friday driving around, reacclimating myself to the area. It was nice. I do miss PA when I'm down here.

7. Read several excellent books that I have been meaning to tackle for a while.

8. Cooked several excellent meals for my family.

9. Broke my favorite bra. (Please don't ask how one can break a bra. It can be done, and it's not half so interesting as you'd expect it to be.)

10. Got very annoyed with myself for not arranging the Simon and Garfunkel song for the Mads, not getting a start on my research paper, and not getting past a solid outline for my novel.

Break was not near long enough, regrettably.
