festivities of festivals

Random Fact of the Day:

There is an ant in Brazil that has a gland which causes the ant to explode like a bomb, spraying a sticky toxic goo on everybody nearby. Now that's some hard core biology!

What??? I am glad we didn't encounter any of these ants in Brazil...


I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go to The Seafood Festival in Apalachicola. I am trying to coerce Chris into taking me. (I am not sure if I can give a bigger hint.) It will be so much fun. Today I stayed at home for the first time in months. I got caught up on some homework and housework. Brooks was super-glad to be back to our old routine. I have been thinking about getting a part-time retail job to alleviate some of my boredom. I have about six weeks of class left. My parents may get to come home this weekend. It will be very unlikely that they will get to come to my graduation, but that's okay. My Nana had a biopsy on a lung tumor today. She will get the results next week. I get the grade for the second part of my research proposal tomorrow. I don't have a great feeling about it, but oh well. This weekend The Kentuck Festival is going on in Northport. I want to go. Chris is going hunting. All of my friends have kids or are in graduate school, so I may be going by myself. If my parents are home, then I will be in Jasper.

It feels good to catch up on stuff... I love it. Especially when I've got stuff that I CAN do as well as things that I CAN'T do anything about. I got started trying to clean some stuff up yesterday, but instead of putting things away neatly as I was moving them, I just sort of shoved them toward where I wanted them to be... so now I have a bigger mess. BUT I've started packing things to get them out of my way. So that's good, right? But I've always thought a mess needs to get worse before it can really get better.

I'm glad that Brooks' Grams is doing so much better. And I hope you can talk Chris into heading to Apalachicola. I would say that it sounds like fun, but I'm anti-seafood. But Apalachicola is ALWAYS good. Since I've been there once, I can say that. There was an article about it in... Cottage Living? I don't remember which magazine, but I was flipping through it at Mimsy's house and I saw a shot from the water, and I cried, "HEY! That's APALACHICOLA! I've got better pictures than THAT ONE!"

So, now that I've written you a book (apparently my "concise" meter is broken *sigh*), QD is jumping on my bed yelling about nobody is playing with him.
