darkling_glory, I hope you get better soon! Is it just my imagination or have you been sick for a long time?
I've been productive at work, but a bum at home. I don't know if I mentioned this before (it's a pretty big deal), but I'm going to be a part of monthly meetings with the university president. I had one of those meetings yesterday. I still feel so out of place, but I'll get comfortable eventually.
Many of the lakes in Texas have been critically low for over a year, and most of them have filled up completely in the last few weeks with the amount of rain we've been getting. Yay! But with that comes a lot of flooding. Early Sunday morning, a river flooded (14 feet in 30 minutes) the town that H and I visit every year for our anniversary. Depending on what report you read, over 70 homes were destroyed completely and 1400 damaged, and 12+ people are missing and presumed dead at this point. It breaks my heart that such a small, close-knit, serene community has been hit so hard.
So that's my debbie downer update. Moving on...
My little cousin is getting married tomorrow! I say little because she's like 4'9" and because she's 4 years younger than me. Although I just found out there won't be alcohol at the reception, I'm really happy for her!

Work has been slow, so I've had some more time off this week. So, mainly I've been avoiding doing all the things I say I'm going to do when I have some time off. :-P My H is having oral surgery tomorrow (a wisdom tooth extraction), so it's probably going to be a low key weekend with lots of food run through the blender.

What have you been up to this week? Normal work, and being a gypsy. I am thankful that the weather hasn't been TOO unbearable, because we have spent A LOT of time outside, walking around our neighborhood.
Anything you want to share - good, bad, or ugly? I am pretty much over a bunch of things right now...I am over the whole selling a house thing (I cannot find a damn thing in our house, because it keeps needing to be show ready.) I am over my sister's wedding, because everyone is stressed, and there is too much drama for my blood. And I am over the craziness, there has been no relaxing in our house for the last three weeks. :\
Thursty Thirsday (because that's what my fingers are wanting to type) plans tonight? Hmm...I have a good stout in the fridge, or some wine, so probably, if I can stay awake long enough, lol.
I usually bring my lunch but haven't been able to get my shit together enough after the long weekend to do it this week. I bought a salad today and the girl put so much dressing on it - it's fucking disgusting. I usually don't even use dressing, and the sound it makes when I move it around (you know, that wet, gloppy sound) is grossing me out! But I paid $8+ for this motherfucker, so I'm going to eat as much as I can stand.
Very exciting things going on here, obviously. lol

What have you been up to this week? I have been unproductive and lazy all week. I've been reading at work, instead of, you know, actually working (or playing here.) I have a mountain of laundry to do since I still have no capris or shorts washed. Luckily I washed all my dresses, skirts and short-sleeved shirts. I might blame Memorial Day Weekend for my laziness. Up late, up early, lots of booze, lots of work around the house.
Anything you want to share - good, bad, or ugly? My SIL and BIL had their baby. I held it and didn't didn't burn upon contact.

I went to happy hour with a Knottie friend last night-- we hadn't seen each other in over 3 years but picked up right where we left off. It was so great to catch up with her! Plus the beers were good
This week has been homework homework homework. And getting ready for our new dishwasher to be installed today. Which is taller than our current countertops (because the kitchen floor is uneven) which meant us shaving off the underside of the countertops with a circular saw at 1am this morning. *yawn*
Another thing-- two higher-ups at my school got fired this week. Our new pres is cleaning house!!
