I've been in a very bloggy mood recently. Unfortunately for you, there's not a whole lot to blog about right now (that's very interesting), but I'm sure I'll have written multiple paragraphs by the time this blog entry is said and done. You're welcome.
I want to read A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner. My mom, who is an avid reader, says they are two of the best books she's read in a long time. Does anyone own these books and would be willing to let me borrow them for the summer? I'm sure our wonderful public library has them, but then I'd have to get a library card and read it in three weeks, and that would never happen. I've never been able to keep to a timetable when reading. It takes all the enjoyment out of it. I'd like to read a bit this summer while I have the time, and also while I have hours to kill on a plane.
Chad got paid today for the first time since he started his new job. I'm lovin' it. We never reverted back to a one-income budget when Chad quit his job and started school again full-time in November, so I'm glad that we will have two incomes again to recover from that lack of discipline, and also to be able to pay back his nursing school. We also just got our economic stimulus check from the federal government, and used that to pay off some of the debt from nursing school. I am pretty sure that's exactly what we weren't supposed to do with it. We were supposed to go out and spend it on more stuff. Well, we didn't, and I guess now the United States is in even more debt, and the economy is still bad because of people like us who used it to pay off debt or put it directly into savings.
Also, I don't know if I mentioned this or not...but I am headed to Austin this weekend for a reunion at my old school. I was in a singing group there, and it's the director's 10th year, so it's a surprise for her. I don't think many people from my year are going, and I probably won't know very many people, and I'll definitely be the oldest one there. But I do know that if I was the director and nobody showed up to a reunion planned for me then my feelings would be really hurt, and I really liked her, so I'm going, despite any social awkwardness that might occur. I'm sure I'm putting way too much thought into it anyway. So, that'll be my last trip to Austin, which will make 4 trips in 2 months. It's been a busy spring and I'm glad for the trips I've been able to take, but also glad for some weekends off.

I have both the books and I will bring them to Lubbock when I come. You can keep them for as long as you want to. Have fun this weekend!
Thanks mom, I knew you'd come through. When I asked about anyone letting me borrow those books, I was really directing that at you because I knew you'd have them. :)
