Guilt free!!

I felt a little guilty about not seeing my uncle (who lives in Knoxville) during my recent visit. However, today we received a postcard from him. He’s in London as part of a world tour he’s taking. *whew* Now I can say, “But Uncle Jim, I did try to visit you….you were gone!” hehehe

Christmas in July Alert: Big Brother and The Amazing Race begin tonight. WHOO!

What a week…

This was the first week since Christmas break that we didn’t have a snow day or 2-hour delay at least once. I am utterly exhausted–and that’s just sad. I got my big new monitor yesterday (they’re still building my pc) and wowzers….it rocks. I did could just sit there and look at it all evening.

Like a total doof, I applied for a fanlisting. As it turns out, the movie has to have been released already for your application to be considered. Since Van Helsing isn’t released until MAY, I’ve now introduced myself to the people who approve you as a d-u-m-b-a-s-s. *kicks self—HARD*
