Nothing Very Exciting but a Fun New Layout

It’s another Tuesday night and I am trying to get some stuff written before tomorrow. Let’s see… what has been going on? 

1. Our washer is fixed! And there was much rejoicing and we haven’t stopped using it all day.

2. I’m trying to get a couple of stories written before I turn my attention to studying for the GRE. Friends tell me it’s not really necessary to study; it’s not like you have to get an amazing score to get into grad school. But, I figure with my serious lack of mathematical ability a little studying won’t hurt.

3. Tomorrow (Wednesday) is Boo’s birthday!

4. Efe just called and we talked for a half an hour and she tried to sing both parts of a Norah Jones/Dolly Parton duet. It was amusing.

5. Ashley put in a special request for the Pirate Boy story as a Valentine’s Day entry. I started it but was unable to finish so either it will have to wait till next year or we’ll have a surprise Pirate Boy entry in the future. 

6. Vanya called to wish me a happy Valentine’s Day, proving once again that as a friend he is a keeper.

7. Lamai, Katie and I have picked the first book for our “Every Country” book club, “Three Cups of Tea.” It is set in both Afghanistan and Pakistan so I’m not sure if it counts as a book for each country or only one.
8. Sally and I are thinking about taking Caleb on a roadtrip to Florida.
9. I am procrastinating by working on this list and not working on my stories.
