Oh, sorry. Wrong blog.
So…what’s up with all of you? Forgive me readers, for I have sinned…it’s been, well, a while since I last blogged. Truth be told, I’ve been contemplating a post for several days but just haven’t had the wherewithall to put finger to keyboard.
Nevertheless…here’s what has been going on with me…
Vacation - Oh my, we had the best time. I did have school to contend with but all in all, it wasn’t too much of a distraction. We ate, drank, swam, snorkled, and generally had a fantastic time. It’s always so hard “returning to reality” though. Next year, school won’t be an issue. I love saying that - this time next year, I’ll be done with school. I do have to say, the jet lag’s worse coming back versus going out. For me, anyway. It’s far easier to force yourself to stay awake than go to sleep. I think we were on Hawaii time by the third night, and I’m still struggling to get fully back on Texas time after nearly a week back. Fortunately, we’re headed to NYC in November…otherwise I’d probably be more depressed that vacation is over.
School - Midterms are next week. Next week. Already. I think I’ve taken for granted the last few weeks, as they’ve been relatively stress-free. What I have to keep in mind is that I have four marketing projects still to do, and one for my global business class. They’re not huge…but they’re sizeable. Global Business has been a great class, as basically it’s a study of the free market system and…well, I won’t get into the specifics of it. But, I look at a lot of things differently now - from a pragmatic standpoint rather than an emotional one.
Capt. UberHusband - He’s headed back to his old company. New job wasn’t quite what he’d envisioned. Between you, me, and the blogosphere…I’m glad he’s leaving. Still, it has been fun having him working from home for the past couple of months. Looks like he’ll still be able to do that once in awhile, so that’s good.
Television - Wooooo…premiere week next week! Forget all the shows premiering though, what about all the ones that are winding down? Weeds! Nancy’s pregnant with the lovechild of a Mexican mafioso, er, mayor! Army Wives! Claudia Joy, I know you’ve got strong knees, nail your would-be rapist where it counts! The Closer! Nooo! Sanchez can’t die! Both CU and I are excited Entourage is back, although the amount of airtime being given to E’s new clients is already starting to wear thin. And, I can’t help it…I drank the Gossip Girl kool-aid. Then, I gave it to Capt. UberHusband and told him to just take a sip…that it wouldn’t hurt him. If he didn’t like it, he’d never have to get near it again. Heh.
Doggies - They’re getting older and grumpier by the week. As am I.
I’m trying to decide if I should even bother trying to recap The Amazing Race this season, or if the novelty of that wore off for me and everyone else three years ago.





We got back late Sun. night and I’m having difficulty with the jet lag so far. I wish I had been smarter and only scheduled myself two work days before the weekend rather than four (I agree that it’s harder to come this way). We also caught up on Weeds while we were gone and the season was a lot better than I expected, given all the changes — but sometimes, I just want to hit Nancy over the head.
