Today is bee-yoo-ti-ful outside. I am full of good cheer. I have tons of not-very-good-for-me snacks, I have hours of tivo to amuse myself with (Wonder Showzen!), I have a pile of books waiting to be read... life is good.

My dad is moving up here by May 1st. I can't wait until he's here. It's a dream come true for me. Wait until you move away from your family for a few years, and you'll see what I mean, if you don't know what it's like already.
