tired

Not much to report. I'm going to Pittsburgh with the crew...although this time James is going and Jason is bringing one of the masters students, so we're going to be crammed in Kendra's tahoe...and James made the comment that since I'm the last one to get picked up, I'm last dibbs on seats. I will NOT ride in the back without a seatbelt I'll tell you that right now. And I'm so going to enjoy a 2 hour trip to Pittsburgh squished 4 in the backseat. Not to mention, 4am when we get home, and work tomorrow afternoon. Luckily homework is tolerable so I'm not worried about it. I'm just dragging right now though, I don't know how I'll stay up that late tonight. And then next week they want to have a study group after class on wednesday...again another night I'm not at my best. Can't say I'll be much use.
Anyway...it's cold here today. Rainy tomorrow. No plans for the weekend except a little homework, watch some movies, relax. I think I might be able to extend my thanksgiving trip home by 2 more days now, if I can get Kendra to work my Thursday shift.
I'm getting ready to start my shift in the advising center, and afternoons have been hectic this week...not looking forward to it, because I'm SO tired. I should stop complaining and get ready for the rush...

spaghetti mess

today I'm making spaghetti and I'm making a huge mess in the kitchen. I hate cooking on electric! Plus my pot isn't as big as what I'm used to, so I've made it too thick. So it between stirring I'm watching Psycho and as soon as it's over then I'm going to start cleaning the house, top to bottom and work on my car some.
Yesterday I went to Bedford with Kathy's sister Loretta and her dog Thumper, to go to the Old Bedford Villiage and see a bunch of covered bridges. I had a great time. The drive out there was beautiful! The fall colors are unreal. We don't have as much here in Indiana, just a few trees here and there. And it was nice to get out of Indiana, nice to drive my car over 30 miles an hour and nice to talk to someone who isn't in Indiana, PA.
I just got an email from Jenni, who is organizing a trip to Pittsburgh next Saturday. That'll be fun. I did enjoy last time.
You know I really can't complain about my life these days. Seems like everyone I know has gone through a break up...from your 2 year long relationships breaking up over things that aren't so drastic, to break ups right before the wedding, and worst, to losing a lover to death. Makes me thankful to be single this year since it doesn't look like the best year for relationships.
Psycho is almost over which is just about perfect timing because I need to get started on cleaning. Oh and I'm going to work on compiling a care package for Twylla, so I have to spend some time in my office at the desktop.
