places i should go.

briefly, before work.

i had a magnificent dream last night.  i was at the beach (pacific ocean) with a bunch of random folks.  and we were playing in the water and walking along the beach.  these folks were some pretty unlikely guys and gals, so the dream had me a bit nervous.  

but everyone was nice, and it was exciting to "be at the ocean" again.  at the end, people were helping me find rocks for my fish tanks.  hahaha (oh man, it was kinda cheesy, but it was nice to have a pleasant dream) --- not to mention, i woke up feeling rested for the first time in months.  probably since this summer.

i also have come to the realization that i need to visit santa fe new mexico.  not only sf, but also many many locations in NM.  i want

need to visit white sands, and carlsbad, and las cruches, and wold even love to see roswell.  NM has always been an unlikely location for me, but i think it's about time i went.  

anyhow, i need to eat something and get ready for work.  

xoxo folks.

i really dislike a GTA and professor right now.

i am not sure, but minneapolis seems to be shifting to texas.  mostly 'cos i'm not in the mood for extreme cold right now.  (this is re: my spending a few days away from kansas)

the dog is sitting next to me snoring.  it is particularly adorable.  i think i am going to get her a new id tag for her "xmas" gift.

but about now, i need to head to the grocery store.  fun times.

(ps. i miss you.  if you are reading this, i'd love to hear from you, be it à la text, call, email, or comment.)  for real.

do you ever feel like...

i don't know where i was going with that subject title, i kinda gave up.

what fun stuff am i going to do today/tomorrow?

1) i'm going to bring some of my aquarium water to get tested 

2) i'm going to read ethan frome.  *CRY CRY*

3) i'm going to finish laundry

4) start the outline for two of my papers due this week

5) some cleaning around the house (mop floors, vacuum dust, etc)

6) work sunday

7) get my compost heap fixed (i need to set the pallets up)

8) finish planning my escape to minneapolis

the dog is sleeping under the coffee table, and she looks so freakin' adorable i could just puke.  i wish it weren't so dark under the table so i could get a good picture with the computer.  (i know if i move to get the camera, she'll wake up and chase after me)

well, off to the tracks...
