wow, what a great weekend... tech didn't win, but they didn't lose big against the fighting irish. we made it through the family visit to fayetteville, the surprise party for huey on sunday with my family, and the townhome walkthrough with our owners on monday without any major mishaps. as a matter of fact, my cake for huey was a huge success. it came out beautifully (should have after i spent three hours frosting and decorating) and huey was very surprised... which was really the whole point of the thing.
which gets me thinking about gestures... i knew when i was making the cake that it didn't have to be perfect... it was just the time and thought i put into it that meant something. it's like offering your seat to the old lady on the bus so you can sit and glare at her the rest of the trip while you keep getting elbowed in the back by the balance-impaired person behind you while someone else keeps rolling over your toes with their suitcase they can't seem to control. well, not quite like that... because it made me feel good without all the bad side effects, and i got cake to eat on top of it all. so gestures are something we do for other people? or just something we do to make ourselves feel better... i think this was a topic on a friends episode once... is there such a thing as a selfless gesture? you always get something out of it...
anyway, we can start a countdown today... it is now four days until huey leaves... suck. i am pretty busy nowadays so it won't be a huge change not to see him everyday. i think the evenings are going to suck. i wish the fall lineup would start back up again, then i'd have TV shows to keep me from getting bored most days of the week. of course those bastards got rid of all my favorite WB shows. of course, this could be just the opportunity i needed to put those bleeding-heart teenage angst filled shows behind me and finally watch adult shows... yeah right.
they made a sequel to the cutting edge... remember? that movie about the hockey skater who gets hit in the head and becomes an ice skater? i LOVE that movie... and they made a sequel!! huey said i've got a sickness for bad movies, but i put it on the netflix list anyways...
so i'm rambling today on this post... but it is the first day i have stayed at school during my break from 11 to 2... and it's only 12 right now. i guess i could do some homework *yawn* i'm glad i have this information machine to keep me busy in the mean time...
dammit... now i wish i'd driven home and spent the two hours eating lunch with huey instead of sitting in this uncomfortable armchair digesting a lunchable and fruit cup...
