the run-down

i started today with a monster to do list, and surprisingly enough have stayed focused to do most of it...

things done today:
altar guild
laundry
grocery shopping
got $50 back from circuit city
post office
caught up on a month's worth of email at 5 different email addresses :-P
paid bills
fixed the ceiling light in my room (it just needed a new bulb, but that involved finding something in the house sturdy enough to stand on to unscrew the glass bowl around the bulb and then reassemble :-P)
did 5 hours of homework (so i'm all set for monday)

that about sums it up... i'm totally not exciting, but you can SEE in my room now for the first time since i moved in.

for the most part i've not been wanting to deal with people lately... i'm moderately content cross-stitching and working on homework/fixing things 24/7 (since i haven't been sleeping well for the past bit anyhow), but once in awhile, someone manages to find me on the small bit of time each day that i'm up for socialization :-P here's today's story:

adam hughes called me on the phone while i was out running errands earlier
adam: hi lara! guess where i am!
me: um, valpo, i dunno
adam: i'm standing on bob the rock! how great is that?
me: that's pretty great -- congratulations!
adam: here, i think he wants to say something to you (puts phone down near the rock, and then picks it back up)
(resume with more normal conversation :-P)

yay for friends who call out of the blue just to make me laugh. :-)

excited to see jessica tomorrow... but for tonight, it's back to work... later dudes :-P
