I don't waaaaaanna go back to Michigan! Alabama's all sunny and warm... sure, there's supposed to be a massive storm tonight (and possibly a tornado?), but the days have been gorgeous. I even had to buy sunglasses to keep from burning my eyeballs out of my head ( Read more... )

So far today has been a pretty good day. I got up and got showered in time to do a little picking up before Mom and Patty showed up. We went out to lunch at Max & Erma's, and sat and talked for a while. Then Colin called, which made me feel so much better. He sounded like he was doing okay... it was just really nice to hear his voice again. He ( Read more... )

Going between East Lansing and Hillsdale feels rather strange now... both ways feels like I'm going home, in a way. You know that feeling, when you're driving home from a ways away, and you start to really recognize things that you see, thinking of them as the landmarks of "home"? I get that feeling, going both ways. On the way to Hillsdale it's ( Read more... )

I hate not knowing. I fell asleep early last night, so when Colin tried to get ahold of me during his layover in Ireland I was sleeping. I would think that he would be there by now, but I haven't heard anything further, and I don't know when I will hear further. And it's hard to keep my mind off that not knowing ( Read more... )

I can't sleep. I feel tired, but I also feel anxious. I feel like if I don't go to sleep, tomorrow won't have a way to come. I feel like if I don't sleep, Colin won't have to leave. I won't have to make that drive home from the airport, alone, wondering how long I'll be able to hold it together this time. But no matter what I do, every ( Read more... )

About this time last year, I was laying out plans to lose weight for the wedding. And guess what? I never lost anything for the wedding. About this time last year, I was looking forward to Colin coming home for Christmas, although then he was coming from Kentucky rather than North Carolina, and back then I thought six months was a long time ( Read more... )

After class last night I ended up driving out to Kalamazoo to spend some time with Colin before his unit left. We sat in the bar for a little bit, snuggled in the hotel room for a little bit (too bad my overies want to eat each other right now)... and since I was there he decided to take me to the unit with him at 1am; if I hadn't have been there ( Read more... )

I feel so bad... this morning I finally got home around 7:45am or so, and found my phone (I had left it at home when I headed off to class the night before) with 18 missed calls, 8 new text messages, and 4 new voicemails. So I called Colin, and apparently he had some kind of weird voicemail on his phone from yesterday morning that sounded like it ( Read more... )

Colin's coming home this afternoon! Yaaaay!

Last night I cleaned the apartment, did the dishes, and made him big peanutbutter cookies with kisses stuck in them. I had ONE because I haven't had real peanut butter cookies in a looooong time. And they were delicious.

Now today I just need to:

*take the trash out
*have my nails repainted
*deposit ( Read more... )

Yay, got field notes from Q! Now I just need to change, pack up my stuff, and head on to campus. Because if I stay at home, there's an all-day marathon of Law & Order. That means I wouldn't be getting anything done. Although I did manage to get some work done on my 801 paper last night while watching it... but I really shouldn't fool around ( Read more... )
