Word of the Day

From dictionary.com's "Word of the Day:"

laggard \LAG-erd\, adjective, noun:
1. a person or thing that moves too slowly or falls behind
adjective
:
1. falling behind; slow

Yep, that describes me today. I sat on the couch and did almost nothing all day long. Technically, I'm not falling behind because I have nothing that needs accomplishing, but I would definitely say that not showering or getting ready for my day until 4:00pm counts as moving too slowly. I watched some quality daytime television, ate leftovers for lunch, made myself some coffee around 2:00, and showered at 4. So now that it's 6:00 I'm ready to start my day...

Good thing there's always tomorrow to accomplish all the things I didn't manage to accomplish today (a few last minute Christmas things, the gym, and some serious present wrapping)!

The First Anniversary of my 25th Birthday

This year on my birthday, in addition to thinking about how OLD I am getting...I was thinking about how much things change in a year.  It's kind of amazing really.  I wonder what things will be like in another year...

As for the rest of my life, things are chugging along.  I ONLY HAVE ONE MORE SEMESTER LEFT UNTIL I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL.  I am more than thrilled about that.  I thought the end would never come...and here it is, staring me in the face.  Only 14 weeks of school stand in my way.  That might sound like a lot, but when you've already endured 14 weeks x 4, it really isn't so much (I'm not in the mood to actually do the math).  

Also, John comes home from his 5 week grand tour of Eastern Europe TOMORROW.  Hooray!

That's about it...
