antsy pants

First Jim and Pam get married on The Office, then Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize perceivably just for being the president!? WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT?

Yes, y'all, this has been one wild couple of days. And it's only going to get better. I'm packing up The Green Bean and driving it to Murray, Kentucky, for a weekend of Homecoming festivities at my alma mater. Homecoming is something I look forward to all year, and with a ridiculous level of anticipation in the weeks immediately preceding. Needless to say I have MAJOR ants in every pair of pants I own, not to mention the ones I have on, about getting this show on the road.

There are all kinds of events that go on during the weekend, and I love every second of it -- from dressing up for the Greek events to dressing down and cuddling up in a Murray State blanket for the early morning parade. And as I told several people this week, it's an opportunity to pretend I'm in college again, at least for a few days.

When I said this to my dad last night, he retorted, "You just want to go get drunk with your friends."

And I said, uh, yeah. I think you'll recall that's exactly what I just said.


cheers,
