It’s wild not having homework to do. I’m sitting around on my computer, dancing along to Alanis Morissette, and I was starting to feel guilty for not being productive. Then I realized that, hey, I don’t have anything I should be doing, really. I could work on my FAFSA, but that’s about the only thing hanging over my head right now. No more fussing over projects due a week from now in a class, or homework due tomorrow, things like that. I don’t have biology to read or discrete math problems to complete. It’s great! I’m back in Lexington after a week at my parents’, and I plan to spend this week as I did the last: relaxing and getting in some fun before I go back to work the 21^st.

I started rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because I don’t think I have time to reread the entire H.P. series before the last book comes out, but I do want to reread the last two so they’re fresh in my mind. Todd and I have also been enjoying some Calvin and Hobbes, which I got back into while I was visiting my parents. Man, do I love that series. It would be so incredibly great if Bill Watterson sat down one day and decided to start writing them again. Todd finished up Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons, a collection of Calvin and Hobbes comics, so I started him on The Days are Just Packed, another collection. He didn’t like them as a child because he, like me, initially tried to read them too early on and we didn’t understand them. However, I, unlike him, had access to the book collections (my dad owned several) so I could try again later, when I was older, and read them; when I did, I fell in love. Now that he’s rereading them, he’s enjoying them, too, which tickles me; I love sharing my interests with others.

I’m going to make a nice dinner tonight because Todd has been living off of sandwiches the past week, while I was gone. I’m making baked chicken, homemade bread (thank you, bread machine!), creamed corn, mashed potatoes, wild rice, and banana pudding. Yay to me, domestic little Sarah. :)
