It looks like a Christmas card out my window. Snowing like mad, of course the day after treehavn goes home it decides to really go for it. She was so excited to see some serious snow, and I had to explain that she really wouldn't see any serious snow until after she came back from the break, since it hardly snows much here until right before Christmas.

This is the only time of year since the mid 80s that I ever hear anyone going on and on about virgins on the radio. Possibly I need to listen to more rap music, I dunno.

No more schoolwork, no more classes, no more duty shifts even. I'm just here, at school, staring out the leaded windows at the snow, watching the students and their parents getting into cars and going home.

Patch my brother in law) on MSN: Hey, when are you coming home, Wednesday?
me: No, Thursday. Thursday at noon.
Patch: What are you doing on Saturday?
me: Let me guess...babysitting?
Patch: Well, Max will just be hanging out here alone, you're welcome to join him.
me: He'll be just hanging out in his crib by himself, if you'd like to stop by, that would be great?
Patch: Exactly.

Good to know I'm needed. Still snowing, by the way. Snow snow snow. I woke up this morning just before 9am, wide awake, ready to do something interesting. I opened up my computer, and the internet didn't work. No connection. So I went back to bed. Gotta love this "absolutely nothing to do" thing.

Gotta love this "absolutely nothing to do" thing.

One more week for me, then I'm no longer an undergrad. :) I can't wait to have absolutely nothing to do...well, except mailing grad school applications.

Enjoy your day! :D

Hey Sweetie! Love the icon. Snicker. Fantabulous.

Bad news, we're going to miss each other by a day in NY, but I hope you have a fab time. Enjoy the holidays -- you deserve all the rest, relaxation, and quality Max time you can get.

Love ya, Mara

I went to buy boots today, with Gareth and my mother. Sample conversation of me and Gareth debating over 2-inch heeled, mid-calf sexy!boots:

Me: Well I need something that I can drive in, that is practical in snow and doesn't leak, and which also makes me look like a bad-ass sex goddess in heels.
Him: Well, lots of people can walk in snow in two-inch heels. You're just crap.
Me: Maybe so. And they are nice boots.

Could you possible go over to the student lounge for me and find out the mark for my 504 proposal? I emailed the prof but she is crappy about responding to emails - my box number is #122...

Hehehhehee no problem. I miss you! I hope you're having a good time!

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

Nuthin' there. Sorry. :(

[treehavn.livejournal.com]

Oh for fuck's sake!
Thank you for checking though...

So Biff/Josh?

[ivyblossom.livejournal.com]

I'll get right on the Biff/Josh. :) I'm glad you finally read Lamb. Someone other than me has to feel the Biff/Josh love.

And...

I checked again today. Still nothing.

I emailed her - she said that everyone in her household has had flu this past week or so, and she'd get right on it now that she's better.

I presume you're off home today?

geez, does that work? my local sister never babysat ethan when he was a baby. maybe i should have tried that approach - subtle, yet completely aggresive.

congrats on completing your exams! now it's time for snow angels.

Oh, I've been babysitting Max since he was 2 weeks old. We're very close, him and I, so I don't mind hanging out with him, they know that. I've never turned them down, and sometimes I just show up to hang out with him. Sometimes they show up here and drop him off with me so they can do other stuff, too. :) I'm adopting Max as my own, except that he lives with his parents and they have to do all the serious work. I just get to play stupid games with him and buy him his first computer. And take him on trips with me when he's older. You know, the fun stuff.

Oh, and I didn't have any exams, but thanks just the same. :)

oh, you sound like a love. i have 2 sisters - the local one never has time, and the san francisco one always babysits when she comes to visit. it's like having an unexpected vacation. she's actually moving back here (MA) at the end of the month for good (toting a fiance) and i am oh-so excited.

recent conversation:

ME: "when are you guys officially coming back?"
ARIEL: "probably for the new years, then we need to find a place to live."
ME: "you can stay with me as long as you like."
ARIEL: "wonderful! and i'll watch Ethan whenever you want!"
ME: "only if you want..." (YES!)

have a wonderful break!

Had to comment, as my friend's page is not working and this entry has been at the top of it for two days. You are SO lucky for the snow. I've been wanting snow for awhile, but we've hardly had any.

I'm sorry to hear about your friends page. It wasn't even an interesting post, either. :)
