It's in the mid-seventies outside here, for God's sake. It's nuts. (Of course, we also got to have the Official Declaration of Drought yesterday, so, er, I suppose I should feel a little guilty about enjoying the sun.)

Ooh, and I got actual volcanic ash on my car from St. Helens this week! I mean, not a lot, but it was there.

Tonight I am going to my last dance class for a whole week! So I'd better make that good. Then I need to pack. I might possibly hang out with some family in town. I'll be sad for a few minutes (from 10:00-10:15, perhaps) that I won't get to see any buffistas this weekend. Not even the new honorary buffista, ita's apartment. Then I'm going to hang out in the airport for a whole big bunch of hours tomorrow, and perhaps figure out how to use that free wireless internet they keep talking about, since I'll have about five hours to kill. Then I will be flying to NY. Where I will get to see my kitty cats! Yay! And my family! Also yay! The rest of my plans are rather amorphous and dependent upon other peoples.

But I will be sad to leave all the PRETTY PRETTY weather we've been having for the crap ass weather of the NE.

right now 81 and sunny

Even though it is above freezing and fairly tolerable, if rainy, out. I'm just tired.

You know what I hate? I hate when my body gets into a mode wherein food is gross. I eat because I don't want to turn into a headachy, whiney, sick emotional mess and because last I ate was a cheese stick 8 hours ago, but then I get to feel queasy while eating and for a good couple of hours after. Ick.

I'm all excited because I'm home in time to see the TLC Friday night shows the first time around, so I don't have to stay up til 2 am. Phew!

You dodged that bullet, Jesse!

Er, or something like that.

Now tomorrow I can get up bright and early to study. Yay fun. I will also put CDs onto my computer. It's kind of occured to me that it would be like launch.com, except slightly less random.

Drive to the mountains with sister, niece, and niece's friend, ski two days, come home exhausted and broke with no clean clothing for next week.

There may be beer in there. And sunburn, if the weather holds.

It's not supposed to do that this time of year!

Yes it is.

March, people.

Argh!

So, there's been a train de-railment, which is bad bad bad, and I hope everyone on the train is okay.

My 10AM train for tomorrow morning? Is now a 1:45 train tomorrow afternoon.

What are people's weekend plans?

If my Stage Beauty dvd comes tomorrow that'll eat up a decent amount of the weekend. Otherwise, it's supposed to be a snow-rain mix tomorrow morning, so I'm thinking that snuggling under a fleecy blanket while reading Emma Bull's Finder for my book group and then getting online for more job hunting will fill the majority of my weekend.

I've sent out resumes/cover letters/applications to about 15 places in the past two weeks, and I've only gotten one definitive "nope" so far. On the other hand, I've gotten a couple of requests for further info, which is always heartening. One of the possible jobs is in Spokane, WA. Any PNW folks know anything about Spokane? Is it nifty and fun? Drab and dull? A never ending round of puppies and coffee-flavored ice-cream?
