Hodpodge / Stream of Consciousness

We got home from NC on Tuesday around lunchtime. I still haven't unpacked. I didn't take a single picture of our trip, even though I took my camera. My parents got us some clothes and some flannel sheets (hooray!) and some other stuff. My in-laws got us a stand-mixer. Now I can try my hand at making bread without putting so much work into it. Is that lazy of me? (Yes.) We also brought back some of the wedding presents that are still sitting at my parents' house. Among them, a blender and a Pampered Chef baking stone and a set of knives. These things make me happy. Last night we went to Ruth's an hour before midnight to ring in the New Year. Then we all fell asleep on the couch for a couple of hours. 2008 was a pretty good year, but hopefully 2009 will be better. I made fudge. We slept in today until after 10. Today Ruth and I went to Walmart for groceries and then got a Jamba Juice, which was delicious. Husband and I have been watching a Mythbusters marathon for the last several hours. The episode that is on now is one of our favorites. I found out my grades from last semester yesterday, and they made me very happy. I was shockedamazedthrilled. My major GPA is also particularly thrilling. School starts back on Monday and I don't particularly want to go. At least I only have a total of 8 more classes to take to finish my undergrad. And if I don't decide at some future date to go to grad school, then those are the only 8 classes I will ever have to take again. Husband just got hungry and made some spaghetti. He made up the sauce as he went along, and it turned out really well. Now he's full, so I'll see how much of what's left I can finish. I eat a lot lately, so there is a chance that I'll polish it off. It is very good. I spent a good bit of the afternoon crying for no particular reason. I'm tired. I'd like nothing more than to go to sleep for a very very long time. I already took a 2-hour nap today, too. I need to call the sister that I teach in the nursery with and tell her I won't be there on Sunday to teach the lesson. I might need to find a substitute, too. I have a[nother] new plan about how I'm going to organize my last few classes (after the winter semester) to make my last bit of school as unstressful as possible. Trust me, I'm going to need it. My husband is making me some orange juice right now. He is the best. Last night he bought me a gallon of milk because I really wanted it. By the time we went to Ruth's a few hours later, it was half-gone. Is this abnormal? I'm glad we finally have a blender because all I've been wanting lately is a fruit smoothie (thus the stop at Jamba earlier). And at Walmart today I bought 2 bags of mixed frozen fruit--strawberries and raspberries and blackberries and blueberries. And a big thing of strawberry yogurt. Yum. I might have to make one tomorrow. I don't have anything of consequence to talk about on this blog lately. That's why I'm not posting. Also, I'm having a hard time being motivated (thus why our bags aren't unpacked yet and we've been home for 2 days). So I think I'm going to take a bit of a haitus. I should be back later in the month, but we'll see... And if I have anything interesting to post before then, I promise I won't hold back.
