Brea In Bloom, Take 2!!: Woot!

Alright, we survived midterms, and now it's crazy time for Matt and a very short lazy time for Brea. It's been a nutty couple of weeks of health crap and general stress, so I am declaring a bit of lazy time! That said, I was awfully productive today. I went grocery shopping, I almost got us caught up on dishes, I did some more reading on incorporating a nonprofit, I wrote my final report on my first practicum (of three required for my degree), I did laundry, and I did a little work on the case study (final paper and presentation) for Museum Management. Phew! Matt and I even snuggled in bed for a bit and watched Friends. While watching friends I marvelled at how normal Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox looked in earlier episodes (we were watching season 2). Especially Jennifer Aniston -- dang she's lost a lot of weight! I mean, I think part of it is the clothing they wear in the older episodes (pants pulled halfway up the torso and tops baaarely as low as the pants? Did we really ever think that was flattering?!?). I also think that actresses really have gotten skinnier and skinnier - I was more amazed to see how fast that has happened than to see that it's happened. I mean, that was only about 10 years ago, right?

So, this week shouldn't be tooo bad. Or, at least not any worse than the last few. I reeeally need to get a new driver's license though - one with my married name! Otherwise, I don't think they'll let me on the plane with Brea Carlson's boarding pass on Thanksgiving Day!

Oh, and Matt wants me to post about the bread he made tonight. I didn't eat much, but he is pretty psyched. Art sent a vacuum-packed bag of grain that we're certain he mixed himself and almost certain he grount himself. It's all sorts of good stuff, and organic ("not that it makes a shit," quoth the Texas Father)! That was a bday present for Matt.

Oh yeah, and the birthday party was very fun. We had it the Friday before Thanksgiving and had a great time. We went with Kiirstin/Sarah's idea for a costume and were bunches of grapes :-) It was simultaneously the most fun/creative costume I've ever worn and the most obnoxious. Thank goodness the party was at our house, because there was no way we were going to be able to go anywhere - particularly in a car - whilst wearing those costumes. So, now an opportunity for you to laugh heartily, loyal reader. Do we still have loyal readers?

Sour grapes
