Well, here I am again. I probably should be at work, or studying for my Statistics test (to be taken online over the course of the next couple of days) or my Bio quiz, or my Bio homework. I'll get to all that. I have a lunch date with my mother and brother in 2 hours, but perhaps I'll go to work for a short bit before that. I only have to put in 2.5 hours today, though it would be better if I put in more. I'm still on the lazier side at the moment however, and have those pesky school things to take care of. Like studying. Ah well. Some of you may remember that ancient commercial featuring Orson Wells, "I'll have no wine before its time." Of course, I'm not planning on drinking wine, period. But the underlying meaning is the same. I'll do it when the time is right. Roughly translated: I'll get to it when I get to it.
As I said: lazy.
I have a Pampered Chef party to attend tonight, thrown by a girlfriend- K - from school. She's the one I had 3 classes with last semester, and also 2 classes this semester. To be unnecessarily technical, we had a class together 2 semesters ago as well, but I digress. We've grown to be good friends, and it's a chance to get to know each other better outside of school. She doesn't expect me to buy anything; it'll just be fun to hang out. It would make more sense, really, for Randy to attend; he's the cook in the house. But this is a girls' night, so he probably wouldn't fit in. Unless there's something about my husband that I don't know about. Seems unlikely, though.
That will be my excitement for the weekend. Oh, and that pine tree in the back yard is supposedly coming down at last; the weather and a busy tree man kept it from happening over the summer. As long as it doesn't come down on my house, or even my neighbor's (being the magnanimous soul that I am), it'll be fine.
Some cool things: I found and purchased a copy of Sliding Doors, something I've wanted for awhile now but never got around to buying. Also, an elderly gentleman who used to visit with me when I worked at the gas station just stopped by. He kept telling me about the old Hitchcock movie, Spellbound. It hasn't been available in the U.S. for some 40 years ( can't remember why now other than it was out of print), but this gentleman has a friend in Seattle who obtained a copy from someone in China. This friend passed the copy along to my friend, who just gave it to me. No worries- it's in English. He knows that I like Hitchcock, and felt strongly (obviously) that I should see this movie. The only down note is that when he stopped by, my hair was soaking wet from my recent shower, I had no makeup on and I'm wearing a tatty old sweatshirt with bleach stains, and the shorts with the slash on the thigh from when I, well, slashed my thigh. Poor man. This isn't how he's used to seeing me. I think he survived the shock though. If he didn't, he had the grace to collapse somewhere other than in front of my house.
I guess that's it from the wonderfully un-fascinating life of Aravis.
As you were.

so goodluck on your "tasks" and just take it one step at a time and breathers in between *winks
I love [!!] Pampered Chef parties - they're a lot of fun.
That's cool about 'Spellbound'...Fantastic Hitchcock!
