Today my SO and I celebrated our first whole year together! yay!

Then I worked at the desk in our dorm and freshened up on the first 11 chapters of my Latin text before we start chapter 19 tomorrow. I picked the wrong freaking language.

Ate on helluva a nasty dinner in the commons (what a great anniversary dinner), and now I am spending my evening reading this message board.

I took the day off of work to watch the NHL All Star Game, but I slept through the second period because I was tired from playing paintball last night. So I have done literaly nothing all day.

**What a great day off!**

Hey, **Canadian Sue** , c’mon over! If nothing else we can go freezer diving and have a rousing game of Dust Bunny Rodeo! Sad to day, I all too often oversleep and just grab a frozen _thing_, run, and end up eating half nuked/half icy chopped jalepenos for lunch. Clears the sinuses and the staff room simultaneously.
