an update...what else do you people want?!

to hurriedly catch you up on my life as of late...

1. LOST...again, another heart attack tonight. they were a little boring there for a while, but man were things spiced up again. woo hoo! i can't give any details though, since there are some faithful readers who have not seen tonight's episode. (side note- episode, it's a word oft not used anymore. why people? why?)

2. Funeral in Blue was my second novel of choice and it was ok. it dragged for most of the book and finally became exciting in the last twenty pages. it's a 320 page book. yikes. i give it a C. mid-grade, but not failing. very detailed indeed (unlike my writing) yet bogged down by too much emotion and frivolous dialogue. I'm almost finished with Franny and Zooey and i don't know what to think of it. same prediciment, prolonged awkwardness and rambling. i've got about twenty pages left.

3. job search- daunting. must get started. help!

4. Mike and I have discussed and pretty much decided that next year we're going to begin applying for programs in the UK. He for a doctorate and me, a masters. We both are very eager to see where we might be taken (together). The next two years will be filled with much prayer and conversation about this. (I'm secretly hoping for Edinburgh)

5. in FIVE months we're getting married!!!!

6. I heart Old Navy again. Wasn't a big fan for a while, but now that they have adorable and affordable dresses again, I'm in LOVE!!! Bought a cute blue baby doll today. LOVE it. Watch out- not too much bending over please :O

7. Emily and Mike bought a house! a HOUSE!!! i'm visiting on Saturday. yay!

8. 70 friggin degrees today...AWESOME!!!

i think that's all i've got in me right now. brilliant...night :)
