I know you've all been dying to know what I've been up to lately. I'm okay with that. If I were you, I would be dying to know, too.
It is now December and the snow has yet to stick. I think it has snowed only once this season, and again, I am perfectly okay with that. I've heard from a lot of people that they want the snow to just fall already. Don't they know that we're about to have four to five months of that? Patience, my dears. Some of us appreciate walking on dry ground!
It is true. I have my last day of classes tomorrow . . . ever! I actually hadn't thought of that until I just wrote it. I have one day of class left and then a week of finals. When did I grow up? I don't think I'm allowed to be a college grad. Anyway, the time has come and I am ready to be done, done, done. Finished.
I just want to pose a question and see what kinds of responses I get: Do you ever have trouble with your earrings? Perhaps that didn't make sense. Let me explain what happened. I was walking home from campus yesterday while the brisk wind was blowing through my hair. As I was trotting down the sidewalk, I passed a cute boy. "Could he really be looking at me? I mean, he's not simply looking; he's staring." We made eye contact as we brushed past each other, and I flashed my cheesiest grin; I got some cheese back. When I got home, I looked in the mirror and what do you know. I'm wearing my flashy diamond earrings, but really it was just one flashy earring. Earlier in the day I must have lost one of them because I had only one left in. How long had my earring been missing? This wasn't a situation where you could say, "I bet no one even noticed." These earrings are bling blinging. They really show some sparkle. And when the wind is blowing my hair and sweeps it away from my once-hidden ears, there's no masking it. The shining sun doesn't help diamonds from gleaming. Anyway, point is, I bet that boy was looking at my ears and wondering if I was making a new fashion statement. Bonk. I looked silly.
That story is not too bad, but then as I was laughing at my reflection in the mirror, I thought of another time when I had yet another earring blunder. One time I went to Stacy and Pierce's for dinner. Pierce's sister and her husband were also there, and we had a merry old time drinking blended smoothies and enjoying one another's company. No one mentioned anything out of the ordinary. Well, when I got home and took off my jewelry, I realized that the dangly earring Iwas wearing had another dangly earring attached to it. I had been wearing an earring that was about two inches long in one ear and another earring that was about five inches long in the other. I'm surprised I didn't notice the extra weight.
So this makes me wonder: how often do I look absolutely ridiculous and nobody even mentions it? I wish someone would tell me when my face is asymmetrical! This seems to be a common occurrence with me. I guess I'm willing to let others have a good laugh once in awhile at my expense! That's what I'm here for.

What a laugh! You are so funny. I loved both of those stories!
Loved the story about the double earing! I never had that problem as i never wear earings but i wouldn't really suggest that approach as the earings are probably really beautiful!
hahaha i remember when you came home and told me that story! i love it!! way too funny
i found an earring of yours on the floor in our bedroom. i put it on your dresser. i hope that is the one you are missing!
i don't think you ever look ridiculous. in fact, when i buy clothes, i ask myself, would katy wear this? if the answer is no, sometimes i don't buy it. you are just too cool!
That's the match! Oh my goodness!Thanks for finding that. Now I don't know if the earring had fallen off while walking home and landed on my clothing or if it fell out when I was already in the apartment. The boy could have been looking at me for me! We'll never know! This spices the story up a little bit--now there's mystery involved.
That extra long earring story made me lol. Literally.
PS I love Moonlight Sonata. My mom used to play it on the piano when I was little, and I loved it.
I'm so grateful for you right now... Miller is crying in his crib and it's making my stomach turn (but I can't do anything bc we're sleep training) but then I read this and it made me laugh out loud. That's a serious accomplishment considering how sick I feel about all the crying going on in the background. Love you.
I love the double earring story! I remember when you came home that Sunday and told me the story. I about died laughing! Also, I really love you background. I'm pretty much obsessed with argyle.
