finals tonight

yes, i will say it. holy shit i am glad tonight is finals. i have gotten no sleep this week, not that this is anything new, but at least normally it is doing something other than my homework that was due last month.

just returned from a relaxing trip over to monroe, la. i am really glad that i get along with my in-laws. some people hate their spouses family. there is a running joke that most of them like me more than my spouse. the woman's grandmother nixon is a very kind and affectionate woman. it does not take much to get her going off on a tangent, but this can make for some entertaining conversations. and she makes a mean pot of homemade beef stew. oh, so bueño. also was able to visit with suelynn, jerry, michael, katherine, julie, russell, and mckenna. offered once again to buy the truck from jerry and was once again told it was not for sale. one of these times he may say yes, you never know. feel bad for michael and katherine. they lost their place down in new orleans thanks to my niece. more tragicly however was the news that her miata was in a bad way. i think that they mentioned that it would start, however they did say that there was a smell that was never present even when it rained with the top down before. they say the smell is much worse now. poor thing. the miata that is.

going to the the other grandmother's this weekend. this should really be a relaxing weekend. no homework, just chillin'. i hope that there are some chores that need to be done. i sometimes relax so much that i get bored and veg the whole weekend. luckily the christmas lights were put up last weekend. while i really don't mind working on the lights, i get bummed that i don't put up lights at my own casa.

in any case. hasta la vista!
