Holidays in Oklahoma
Dec. 20th, 2011 11:40 amSo here we are, in cosmopolitan Temple, Oklahoma. Mom's gone to pick up Dad and bring him back to the house. I'm getting my internet fix for the day, doing all the stuff I need to do online. It's interesting... My body clock is running an hour earlier than this place does, while my boys are still two hours later. None of us can agree on a bedtime and days last forever.
I have a pair of new pajamas from my mom that are reasonable. They aren't the style I prefer, but they're workable and comfy. I can live with this. I also got some new shirts and a nice purse and a cute scarf, which are all good things.
Still working on the damn paper. Over halfway done now. I can't tell you how tempting it is to take the Incomplete and just finish it once I get back, but honestly, I can't push things back too much anyway. I've got a few hours here to work before things start happening today. I may bow out of afternoon festivities and just push through. I've gotten through the section that was giving me so much trouble, so there's a decent shot of finishing now. Also, the movie they may be going to see may be Alvin and the Chipmunks, and I can't say as missing that would give me a great deal of personal regret. :)
So, for this holiday break, still have to:
