A brighter day...

Free soy latte from Panera to keep these cold fingers typing.

One 25 pager turned in.

One 35+ pager getting ready to be turned in in only 3 hours.

The next Harry Potter book has arrived and I see much cozying up and reading into the night.

It's Tuesday = Brewsday at the Old Mill with treasured friends who will be relishing our new found freedom from these massive papers!!

How S W E E T it is!!

Bardo - Coffee House

A new favorite coffee shop just down the street from me.

Their coconut lattes are keeping this unmotivated girl caffeinated and functioning.

Walking to a coffee shop makes me feel like I am in Chicago...

Well, I don't know how the 68 degrees in December fits into that... But, you get the idea.

Papers and Transcripts and Finals, Oh my!

Hi Friends!

Whoa. It's been far too long!

What a semester it's been! Can't believe I am less than 2 weeks away from the finish line... But a 25 pager, a 40 page transcript analysis, a few small assignments and two big, bad finals lie between me and

sweet victory.

Then the rocking around the Christmas tree begins with too many Christmas parties! Then baking and card making and carol singing! Then Rachel flies in! Then Sarah flies in! Then I fly away to OKC to see the family!!! Oh, how sweet it will be!!

Please, Christmas don't be late!

If you think about it, say a little prayer for me (Aretha Franklin style, of course).

Love you all. Miss you all. Hoping to get to be in your presence soon and very soon.
