Man alive, has it really been almost a month since I last wrote here? As usual, I still don't have time to say much (homework beckons), but I will give you two exciting bits of news and one thing I want. Ready? Go!

Exciting Bit of News #1 - Neil's band, Old Man, is playing their first gig in over two years later this month. It will be on March 30 at the Rudyard Kipling. I'm really excited about this and I hope that everyone will come out and support them.

Exciting Bit of News #2 - If you have looked at my home and garden photos, you've no doubt shuddered in horror at the hodgepodge of building materials that is our back porch and patio. (Or maybe it's just me that does that. Anyway.) I'm pleased to announced that next month my dad, who mascarades as a mild-mannered non-profit executive director by day but is really a Deck Builder Extraordinaire, is going to tear all of that out and build us a lovely deck. This is going to make summertime entertaining a whole lot of fun, instead of something moderately embarrassing. I see tiki torches in my future.

One Thing I Want - One of these adorable bags (I can't decide on a color) from IMOOI. Neil will yell at me if I accumulate any more bags, but I don't care. I'm in love.

The last month-and-a-little-more of the semester is upon me with all of its papers (okay, two papers this semester, but one of them is really long and nasty), so who knows how long it will be before I get back here. I'll try to be more regular though. I promise.
