determined to post tonight

but what to say? that's my problem lately. i feel like i'm in a rut because my everyday routine is so boring and not worth writing about.

i really don't like my job - still.

tim is busy with school and work - still.

i go in and out of town a bunch, because that's what i do to escape the previous two points above.

even our anniversary last week was in a rut. on the night of our 3 year anniversary tim had a finance mid-term. how's that for romance? we were supposed to go to Napa the weekend before, but he had an all-day class on sunday, so he had to cancel our weekend getaway plans. and he didn't even make up for any of it with anything sparkly! boo.

anyway, in true rut fashion, i will retire to bed to do my kakuro puzzle... and yes it's only 8:45pm.

title-less

i have so much to say, but when it comes down to it, it's going to be so short of my own expectations.

i just walked about a mile home this evening, and the whole way i narrated my blog post in my head. and it was so good - believe me!

but i get home, and all that nonsense in my head doesn't seem to matter anymore.

because you know what does matter?

my sister had a baby boy this morning! and as much as i hate that i wasn't there for her 2nd (or the 1st), and as much as cried all morning knowing that he was safe and sound... and 4 weeks early... he's here safe and sound, and that's all that matters. i can't wait to meet this stinky little boy that has graced our family of girls. i love him already, and i've only seen one picture!

at the end of the day... which it definitely is now at 1:50am... it's the little things that matter, and the little ones in our life. i don't have any little ones - although Leo would KICK MY ASS for saying that - but i love my sister's kids like they're my own. and i can't wait to meet my little nephew, mr. townes. and i'm so thankful that my sister and the baby are healthy & happy.

well, "happy" might be a debateable descriptor, at this point in time.
