| Me, hiding behind our tree! (haha tricked you, its just our tree!) |
So I apologize for the lack of post yesterday (all 10 of you who read this anyway) but it was due to the fact that I had actually, literally (well no not really literally, but it felt literally) went brain dead yesterday. Although I am not in school, I have still been working on several different projects with several different professors (didn’t you know, I am just that cool.) so I am currently working on a manuscript defining a theoretical model of marital paradigms (see I told you I’m cool, you didn’t believe me did you?), waiting on a professor to get back to me on another manuscript I’ve worked on about child well-being among young parents, and I’ve just started a new project, where I’m interviewing foster children to compare their identity formation to youth who haven’t been in foster care (SEE I’M COOL! [The all caps means I’m yelling this at you]) Though, Justin keeps telling me that the fact that I am still doing school work when I’m not well, in school, just means I’m a nerd, and really the opposite of cool. I guess I’m ok with that.
The whole point of how cool am I fest though, was really to explain to you, why I went temporarily brain dead yesterday. So, my part of the manuscript was due Friday, and as I told you on Friday, I had left some of it kind of late and so was required to focus all brain power on completing that, until later in the weekend, when I had to re-engage the brain cells to interview 5 foster care youth.
How did I make it through you ask? An excellent question. A sweet husband, and a weekend worth of really dumb movies including Tremors (according to Justin it’s a “Bacon” classic, and here I was thinking that was a BLT [pause for sympathy laughter]), the Scorpion King (the rock at his best, and worst, but really people, I would skip this one), and the Prince of Persia, which I actually genuinely enjoyed. Round all that off with a special viewing of Practical Magic last night, which I frankly just found mostly disturbing, and that my friends is why I had no brain. Clearly, by the length of this explanation I’m sure some of you are thinking that it is still missing, but ahh well. Tuesdays.
It was a good thing that I spent most of my workday today trying to match fonts to an image I was working with. I don't know if my itty bitty brain could have handled much else.
Ps, did you know that there is a font called Hobo STD? SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Clearly someone dropped the ball in the font naming department.
