2003

April is the fifth anniversary of me moving to monroeblogs/chattablogs. I've been blogging longer than that, but I don't know where those archives are, so they must not exist.

As a celebration of my 5-year bloggiversary, I will be continuing to blog extremely infrequently.

Got Radiohead tix for August 3rd, and I am PUMPED!

Notes

1.Listening: To The new Counting Crows. Eh.

2.Watching: Nothing. There are countless new movies out that I haven't seen, but I just can't be bothered. Weird.

3.Being: Sick. Still can't shake this runny nose, and I was sick on my spring break, of course. The whole family was.

4.Doing: Washing windows like crazy, and now back to teaching and waking up at 5:30 in the morning. Ugh.

5.Addicting: Guitar Hero. I play the game NON STOP when I'm not obligated to other things (you know, pesky stuff like playing with the kid) because it is so freaking awesome!

6.Coming: Radiohead. To Indy. August 3rd. It's their first tour in 3 years, and they NEVER come here. I will be there with bells on!

7.Looking: Toward summer break. Just over 7 weeks left to vacations (O.C., Chicago, Monroe), warm weather, and later mornings. As a colleague of mine says, we're countin' the days, not making the days count.
