The internet is driving me crazy!!! I can't get it unless I go out to the picnic table 100 feet from the house or go down to Alpine Lodge. I tried to skype Rachel and Casi this morning and it was being stupid! We couldn't all hear each other. Frustration!

Back in West Virginia...does that really make me a 'mountain momma'?

What a week! I had more homework than I could handle. Had to forgo some reading due to write a paper. I'm taking 17 hours (or 18...can't remember).

Living with Emily is great. I love having a place to call mine (for the time being). Cleaning has become my release. I am constantly straightening and getting things looking homey at the house. I'm so proud of the living room because now we have seating in a circle. I want lots of people to come down and hang out.

I moved my speakers to the kitchen because I'm mostly in there cleaning, cooking, or doing homework at the kitchen table. Housework is a full-time job. Don't dis housewives because they have a lot to take car of. You have to take care of the space you live in.

Mom and Grandma and possibly someone else are coming not this weekend but next weekend to visit. I'm so excited!
