I know that its not my birthday yet, and I may have figured that the package I found yesterday was FOR my birthday but I opened it anyways because I was hoping it would be something that I was hoping to get that would carry my books to study in before the exam.
AND IT WAS!
You picked the gift I wanted most, Pink. Thanks! I am proudly throwing my books in there already. Awesome.

I figured I would allow members by email. I'll just accept everyone, but I didn't want random people to be able to pop in and see our addresses.
When you sign up if your TWoP name is different than your LJ name just let me know so I don't think you are some random crazy stalker and ignore you.
I am really excited about TheBrit. I hate to say too much and jinx it, but something about it just feels right. I am not nervous to spend time with him somehow. Which is weird for me because usually I dread these dates. I just find them so agonizingly nerve wracking. I have no idea why but with him I feel comfortable. I like it.
My Mom and I have been sharing a bed the past few nights. My father is out of town testifying as an expert witness for some manganese toxicity case. Note to all you PhDs out there: think about doing this some day, it is so friggin worth it. I talked him into getting into this a few years ago, and he loves it. It is awesome money for an older person who wants to retire; Plus its kinda fun.
Back to my Mom and I. We are very Lorelai and Rory, and before we married my Dad we shared a (TWIN!) bed in my grandmother's house so it is always fun to go back to our roots. Although last night my Mom woke me up during DH to tell me to turn the TV off. Apparently it is my father's job to turn the TV off at night. I was all "What the hell?" Who WAKES someone UP to tell them to turn the TV off so they can sleep. She has subsequently apologized. Apparently she was sleeping too.
I am also getting really nervous for the bar exam. I never feel like I am doing enough, but at the same time I still have 4 months and I don't want to burn out. It is a tough balance it seems.
Wow, Heroes bores me. Although I imagine no one will agree with me on that.
