I realize it's been a few days since I've written. Do I have a good excuse? Not really, other than nothing of great interest has happened in the past few days so I haven't felt the need to recap the normalcy for you. But I apologize for my absence anyway. Don't even act like y'all didn't miss me! In the name of not going an entire week without writing, allow me to give you a quick recap of all the fun I have been having...

First of all, my new couch was delivered this morning! Personally, I think this is cause for a freaking party because I've spent the past six weeks or so with no living room furniture at all. Let me just say, you don't realize how much time you spend sitting on your couch until you don't have one. I never even thought I spent much time sitting on the couch but apparently, I was wrong about myself.

Now that I think about it, I really do want to have a party. Hmmm...

I'm really super excited for this weekend and let me tell you why. One of my best friends from undergrad is passing through New Orleans on his way to Texas (he's going to San Antonio to begin his clinic rotations for his degree in physical therapy--did I mention all my friends are brilliant?) and he's going to stop here for the night! It's been probably three years since I've seen this kid but back in the day he was like a brother to me. I can't wait to see him and catch up on all that's been going on with him the past fews years. Also, he's maybe the craziest person I've ever known...so his visit should be a fun adventure for all involved.

The SEC tournament is starting!!! I'm expecting big, big things out of the Cats this weekend and I may or may not throw a tantrum if for some reason they let themselves get beat. The only downside to this whole thing is that their first game is tomorrow afternoon. At like 12:00 noon. When I'm at work. Clearly no one bothered to ask my opinion on things when they drew up the brackets and scheduled this thing because I would have had a thing or two to say about that.

Last but not least, I think Spring is coming to New Orleans. I say this because while it has been slightly warmer, its the humidity that has really reared its ugly head this past week and you know what? It makes me absolutely sick! Just when I the memories of last summer that have been burned into my brain were starting to soften and fade, and I was starting to think that maybe the climate here isn't so bad afterall...its going to go and turn into something roughly equivalent to standing at the gates of Hell again. Blahhhhhhhhhhhh...
