Boring, but written.

The husband is taking my iPod to the Apple Store during his lunch today as it has decided that it no longer wants to be turned off. This is not a desirable characteristic in a battery-operated device and so, heigh-ho, to the mall that thing shall go.

I'd sure love it if he came home and surprised me with the iPhone I've been saving for. I am *almost* there and will likely be getting one within the next few weeks anyway and it will keep us from another trip to the Apple store. (I won't buy it at the AT&T Store because they are idiots and also not very friendly and the Apple people, I think, would bend over and let you spank them as long as you'd waited your turn and asked with a smile.) I know he won't just buy it today, though, because it's just not his style.

I think I am starting to look forward to being away together next week. I had been sort of dreading it because I wasn't excited about it and that seemed like a bad thing. It will be good for us, I know that; time away alone together always brings us closer. But I didn't want to be looking forward to it because it would be good for us, that seems like looking forward to vegetables when I wanted dessert.

I ran into a student and her family yesterday. I'm so not ready to go back to school yet. There is a TON of work that I planned to do during the summer to make my school year easier, so far I haven't touched it. (You're SHOCKED, I know.) Plus, I'm really diggin' not having to get up and get going in the morning.

Well... it's boring, bland, and basic, but at least I wrote somethint. Maybe I can get back into the hang of this after all.
