Wow. I was really cranky last night. Oh well.
Things do seem better when you are less damp. Though there is still a certain amount of moistness due to wet bike seats (I swear, I haven't had a dry bum in weeks!).
Otherwise, so begins another hump day. Not a hump-ing day sadly. But at least after today is over, there is the weekend...oh, but I'm working this weekend. Well. At least there is less traffic and I don't have to teach on the weekends.

Let's see. Has anything else exciting happened? Hrm. Well, I stopped work on my current cat cross-stitch. Aside from the fact that I'm stalling out on cross-stitch the stupid tree (with brown and more brown and BROWN!), I'm working on my friend's Christmas present. I also need to sand, stencil and stain the stools I bought for my nieces. We'll see if I decide to stencil in red or if I decide to use my woodburning tool. I'm not so good with it. But I'm not so bad either. We'll see. We'll see.

Argh. That's about all that's happening. How boring am I?
Well, there is my roommate. She's back from California. And since then (Sunday night), I think we've said...wow...maybe 10 or 15 words to each other? Are we both crabby? Is it just me? Right now, I don't really care. I'm just cranky. And wondering how long she'll be there.

Looking at tickets to fly to Oregon, though, now that is exciting. Trying to visit my cousin who moved there recently, and possibly determine if I like the west coast enough to find a grad school there that I like. I gotta figure out when I can go (My classes are done on Dec 10 or something like that and don't start up again until the second week of January I think?). And by which airline? Yeesh. I found tickets, from Southwest airlines for $277 (roundtrip, after taxes and all that jazz). Anyone have any idea how long it's going to take to fly from Columbus, OH to Portland, OR? And anyone want to tell me what sites to see while I'm in Oregon? And can I take my cross-stitch on the plane? I'm guessing it's a no on the scissors, but what about the needle?

While thinking of grad schools...does anyone have an opinion on Stanford, CA? The town, the college...whatever information? There is a gentleman there who I would love to have as an advisor. But, I'm not so sure that I am CA material...heh...or Stanford material for that matter.

Sure, you are going to go to Oregon but you haven't been to North Dakota? What's up with that?
you KNOW...portland is just a FEW SHORT HOURS away from seattle...=O)
thanks for the website. I downloaded it and i think the problem has been resolved. three cheers for you!
Parts of Oregon are quite pretty - but it also can be pretty damp - being coastal. I know how you feel about the roommate thing - I have a roommate that I'd LOVE to not have (I'm sure yours is more bearable than mine though - mine's male).
