Yes!

I finally got my letter of acceptance to gradschool today! I'm so pleased! I can finally start the whole registration process. It looks like the only class I'll be able to take this semester is the Beat poets. I'm not a huge fan of poetry, but the beat movement was very interesting, so I'm sure I'll find something to enjoy. My greatest sadness is that the Bronte class is on Monday and no one at USAA gets Mondays off...My heart is broken.

I've begun writing again, which Jason will be pleased to hear. It's a silly little story, but I've already got about 7k words and am working my way on up. It's the most I've written on a single story since graduation. I'm working toward novel-length, so onward I go! (Any similarity in the story to any persons living or dead is completely coincidental and unintentional...Yeah right.)

I have begun watching Supernatural, which sparks my interest not only because of the occult phenomenon, but also because the two main characters are just the cutest things! Plus, their relationship is just charming and very sweet, and very brother like. Kind of reminds me of my brothers. Kind of.

I also have gotten into Hex and am waiting anxiously for the second seasons of Ugly Betty and Brothers and Sisters to come out. I'm going to have to find a way to watch Dexter, too. Wah!

I will eventually post pictures of my house, and probably some time after I do that I will have a place for guests to stay, so everyone is welcome!

Otherwise, life is normal. My laptop is acting up, I think it's the power source, and this makes writing a little difficult because I prefer to write on my laptop. Luckily (yes, I'm learning), I saved quite a bit yesterday onto my zip drive and only missed a couple of lame paragraphs near the end of the day.

Speaking of (which I wasn't, I was just thinking of her, and my thoughts are difficult to express from the point of origination, so please pretend I was speaking of this)...I have the funniest mother. She, dear lady, came today to sit with the house so that the Comcast people (I also had my Internet go out on Wednesday night, which was tragic, but now it's up again) could come and fix my Internet (otherwise it might have been SUNDAY before it was fixed), and what do you think? I come home and she has tidied up my kitchen and dining room. Such a mom thing to do. I laughed all the way out to the mailbox and back. I had a feeling that she would. I should have tidied up LESS, perhaps. She even put the dishes on the counter away. I haven't even checked to see if she emptied the dishwasher. Now I'm laughing again.
