1) My mom has returned home, which I am both sad and relieved about. I enjoy spending time with her, but I don't think I'm meant to spend 24/7 with anyone unabated. I need my 'me' time ... without interruptions (particularly in the form of nagging and/or guilt trips). It's best if I live about an hour away from my parents, and about 15 min away from friends.

2) ( I'm going to have my house painted! )

3) Can't wait till summer's really here and I can have my first BBQ on the deck!

4) I've watched all of S1 of Nip/Tuck, most of S2, and spoiled myself rotten on S3. ( Spoilery thoughts. )
