Wow, I didn't think I had anywhere near 60 pms in there Thanks, I've fixed it now.
I just went ahead and died my hair another red over how it is now. It's probably for the best since I look kinda blah with lighter hair. Thanks for reading though .
Well I'm glad it worked out! Any chance of pics?

I played with the university wind ensemble at last night's commencement. We had the ceremony in a large church this time because our gym couldn't accomodate all the graduate's families. I rather liked it - our band wasn't quite as scrunched up as we usually are. However, the faculty ended up seated behind us so we couldn't entertain ourselves by watching to see which professor nodded off first!
One of the clarinet players was studying for a science exam scheduled for this morning. At one point she looked back and realized her professor was one of the ones sitting directly behind us - don't know if he noticed or not.

Lots of cheese.

How would you idiomatically refer to a clueless quadrapeligic? Would you say he couldn't find his butt with a mouth pointer and a helper monkey?

My shoulder is throbbing madly but the tattoo looks fabulous! It's only half done though - my artist and I had a bright idea so sometime in the new year I'll go back for the rest. Photos later.

Thanks for the red hoodie suggestions. The Torrid ones were awesome! I searched the local stores (two of 'em!) and couldn't find a red one. The logo didn't matter- I was even willing to get a Wisconsin Badgers one because they're red. But alas, none to be found.
So, I opted for a black one, over a red tank top. Its a long story and rather silly, so I won't bother you with it. *I was going for red over black*

We made it back safely from vacation (although it was a close thing with the cab ride to the airport). Had a great time, but now I am trying to wade through my email. Does anyone know why quiet email lists always seem to get really active while you're away from a computer?

Nothing but socks is more of a summer outfit.
I had inspiration: my new velvety and sheer top which is black with bits of gold and fuchsia with my dark denim skirt, dark pink tights, and socks that don't go at all. I'm known for my silly socks and cold feet and I got a box of socks from one of the party hosts for my birthday. It works.

I don't know - the best Christmas party I ever went to was In San Antonio on the 4th of July. The expressions of the neighbors when we went out caroling were priceless.
Then again, I'm wearing a French and Indian War era waistcoat, French button fly breeches and pirate boots to one of my Christmas parties this weekend, so I'm probably not a good example to go by (I'm saving the blinking moose antlers for the other party).

Okay, here is tattoo number four. I've also just discovered how to work the timer on my digital camera, which made taking the photo so much easier. Sometime in the new year I will have the same design mirrored to go on the top of my left arm, so overall it will cover the shoulder.

That's got to be painful to wear with a bra, Cinnamon!
This is my last post until I get home. I've been so busy, I haven't even PACKED yet! (good thing most of it is just dirty clothes to bring home to wash *for free*)
I'll be stopping on my way home to pick up a new tank for Spike (poor guy is going to feel lousy on the trip home). If I meet my parents at one of the restaurants by Petsmart, I'm going to have to bring my fish into the restaurant! Wow, will I be getting weird looks...
Post 2 of 2 before I leave completed.
I may just keep the site up until the last minute though, so I don't have to turn my computer back on before I pack it away and stow it in my trunk

Well, nothing serious, thankfully. It was just a pretty wild ride, zipping around trucks and diving across multiple lanes of traffic through small gaps. One bonus is that the cab driver was not talking on his cell phone at the same time.
I'm pretty sure I had my eyes closed most of the ride.

Change of plan: because of how I've been running around, and the fact that I would be driving pretty much entirely at night, I'm staying here for tonight and leaving ~8 tomorrow morning to be home for a couple of hours before I go to work. Which will enable my mom to set up Spike's tank and make sure it's all cozy for him to move into.

Haven't tried it yet - I had padding over it when it was first done which was protecting it and currently I just have a t-shirt. I'm hoping it won't be too bad by the morning!

Cinnamon, it's beautiful! The mirror image will be very nice, too. Looks like you've got a great artist. Very nice.

Just come over this way for a Christmas and no faux pas. I'm lucky to wear any more than my swimmers most Christmases, i'll chuck a shirt on at the table some times though. Really depends how hot it is, and if the rellies have a pool and if my evil nanna is around which thank DOYC is rarely.
The fiance got a new job and now i can his Christmas present discounted, yay. His boss was also nice enough to let him have a week off over Christmas even though he's just started, and also said if we couldn't get home we could go to his place for Christas, which was really nice. It's surprising for the amount of people we know in this town how many invites we had fr Christmas if we couldn't go home.

I didn't go home today because by the time I would have had my car packed and hit the road, it would have been getting too late for me (I get headaches when driving in the dark for too long). Then I got some bad news, and I want someone to be with me.
So I'm alone and refuse to drive home at this hour. This NFBSKing sucks.

Even though I love eggs, eating more than one a day makes my stomach feel queasy. I know my stomach's going to be upset, yet I still reach for that second egg. Why?
Maybe I'm like the drunk who decides to enjoy his poison tonight even though he'll regret it in the morning.
P.S. Cinnamon, your tat is pretty!

I humbly apologize to those in other climates. Having lived down South for many years and having a best friend in Australia- I should know better.

Myself, I'm wearing that black hoodie with a red tank top under it with faded boot-cut jeans and Doc Marten's to a holiday open house tomorrow. So, who am I to talk?

Hehe frog feathers. I would kill for a white Christmas rather than a humid and hot or humid, rainy and hot Christmas.
Well i just went Christmas shopping, and now know the meaning of hell on earth. There is one shopping centre in this town and a few other little stores in the main streets. It's also around 42 celcius outside, sothe temperature is comparable to hell :)I wish i could go to a bigger town shopping, but thats a 9 hour drive away.
