*flails about* Sadly, I never realized that grad school was so busy ( Read more... )

Well, I've managed a bit of relaxation since school's been out, but it's still been busy. We've got a bunch of relatives coming over, so it's been kind of crazy around here! I've already had to go out to the store about four times in the past week, and I think the holiday crowds are getting to me -- I guess I've gotten acclimated to shopping in ( Read more... )

Ah, it's been a long week. It's about time for the next round of exams, too, so I'm guessing that next week will probably be a long one, too ( Read more... )

For all of you lovely people who've been thinking of me and my family--thank you. My parents decided not to evacuate from Houston, but they're fine...they had a bit of wind, but nothing too bad.

*smooches to all*

On Wednesday/Thursday, I went to San Antonio because my brother had his college orientation (no, I was not about to let him take my car off on his own!). We stayed in New Braunfels at my aunt and uncle's house, and since I didn't want to drive back to New Braunfels each morning and then have to go down and pick my brother up again later in the ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! *smooches* It's been a good day - despite the fact that I had to take a Calculus test today. ;) My parents and sisters came up on Saturday, and we went out to eat.

First...my idiot brother left his clipboard on the floor (like always), and I accidentally stepped on it - making a nice puncture wound on my heel. It bled a bit, too. *eyes foot* But it's all bandaged up nicely now ( Read more... )

I don't know whether it was because I had one of these chocolates that my mother recently bought (they're shaped like liquor glasses, and mine had cognac in it - and they all have some kind of liquor in them, okay? *g*) or because I'm up late again, but I have a headache. Meh ( Read more... )

I just baked six dozen cookies from scratch, plus about two dozen from my sister's fundraiser cookie dough. *falls over*

My uncle and cousins arrived today, so I haven't had much time for LJing or general internet fun. Will hopefully get to it tomorrow, as they're supposed to leave for my aunt's house then. mebfeather, I'm getting to it, really ( Read more... )
