Zoe’s Journal

I just realized that I might have too much going on right now.

Sitting at my desk, the music is on and my level 52 rogue is flying to Felwood on the back of a griffin. My hands are filled with the lessons for both of my English lit classes, and the laptop is set up on my computer desk with the manuscript for my book pulled up ready to be added to. And now I’m writing a post. So I’ll finish this up, put WoW in the background, and now we’re down to 3.

That’s manageable, right?

Part One.

Part Two.

Part Three.

Here are all of the sources they used for their research.

2008 is determined to be the year in which I do things which I have never done before! A couple of things happened just this last week, which I didn’t post online because it was meant to be kept a secret from a creepy stalker guy who just happens to be my former brother-in-law. So, I had to go to court last week to testify against him in my sister’s child custody suit, which, as it happens didn’t even get a hearing because of scheduling issues. So they got a settlement for a couple of years. So, going to court was one thing I hadn’t done before. Another was even worse. I missed my connecting flight home in Chicago. Yeah.

See, I woke up at 5:15 in NC (3:15 PHX time) in order to catch a flight that morning from the Charlotte airport. I got there on time, and we all boarded the plane on time. Then, on the runway, they found some kind of problem with the cockpit door. So, off we went to the mechanics gate, and sat there for at least 45 minutes. My layover in Chicago was only for one hour, so I held onto hope that I would be able to make it. NOT SO. My flight arrived in a completely different terminal, and I had to run through the airport, up and down escalators, through the crowds of people on those moving sidewalks, and when I finally reached the correct gate, it was exactly 12:00… the exact time my plane was taking off. No delay or other such luck. The next flight wasn’t until 6:00 that evening.

I got home around 10:00 saturday night.

And I was freaking tired. But anyway, here are the pictures. I forgot I had the camera until the day I left my mom’s house. So, no pictures of Valerie. Or of Elvis, but you didn’t want to see those anyway, right?

Sarah and Cody (and Bethany on the floor)

Sarah reading my Reader, which, by the way, didn’t get charged at all, while I was gone, and lasted through 2 over-1k-page books, one 600-page book, and 300 pages of another one. And the battery is still only half-way gone.

Now, THIS is a real shake. From Steak-n-Shake, baby.

Ashley!

I decided to make some banana bread today, since we had two ripe-going-on-brown bananas in the fruit bowl and the LotR said that he wasn’t going to eat them.

Well, I didn’t have a loaf pan, so I hied myself off to Target, where I ended up getting a LOT more than a loaf pan (that’s okay, it was planned). But now I didn’t have a recipe. So I called my mom. She gave me the recipe that she normally uses.

After getting off of the phone with her, I decided to try it. Sounded easy… only about 7 ingredients, and I can follow a recipe well enough. Right? NOOOO.

But I figured out what happened to make this gooey mess. She had said to put in 1 1/2 cups of flour, and I only heard 1/2.

So, there you have it, folks.

and I was just feeling confident enough to go cook up a new recipe of shrimp scampi. guess I’d better hold off on that for now.

This is a list for me of things to get done this weekend. You don’t have to read this. But if you do, well then. You did.

1. Load books onto electric reader and charge the thing.
2. Go shopping for a few necessities , such as paper for the printer (oops), and toothpaste.
3. Clean up desk.
4. Do English homework. - this is printed out and ready to go - over 60 pages of required reading! yay!
5. Pick up all the clothes around the house.
6. Do laundry.
7. Clean kitchen and bathrooms.
8. Have Fun.

I’m sure there’s more… but hey, I’ll think of them later. Right? These are the more important things.

Tonight I had a perfectly Splendid time. A couple of girls from work and I went out to a sushi bar for happy hour half-priced sushi rolls and drinks. We talked and laughed for a few hours, then decided to go to shopping at Last Chance. We didn’t get out of the store until 9:00. We had a blast, and decided that we should do it more often.

But now I think that I am going turn up the music and get started on the desk cleaning.
