So I woke up Sunday morning all snuggly warm and sleeped-in and I'm all happy and about to make me some tea and Mash jumps on the bed and basically socks me in the eye with her paw. Ok, ok, I might be exagerating a smidge on how it all happened and it might have been a smidge my fault but the point is my dog nearly gave me a black eye! And Paul doesn't believe me when I say she's out to knock me off so she can be queen of the household!
Luckily, as I was just in severe pain for a couple of hours (read: medium pain for a couple of minutes), no blackness resulted, of (?) which P was glad because he rightly pointed out that "no one is going to believe your dog gave you a shiner."
Anyhow, I must have looked quite overcome with shock and it must have been really believable because P in a very serious voice says to me, "Can I make you some tea?" And in this household, if you don't know already, Tea heals all wounds.**
So I hope your Sunday started off better than mine.
Today was my last full day at UNCPress :( Alas, the summer is over and I must return to the humble grumblings of being a grad student. I have moved up in the lowly grad student ranks tho - I'm a big fancy PhD student (I hate the word 'candidate' almost as much as I hate 'fiance'), so LA-TI-DA to you! I'm pretty sure this just means that I am so far removed from the real world that I can never return to it and GASP work summers! ACK!
Oh! I should give props to my homegirl K for inspiring this post. She has a new blog -Yay, more blogs to check when I should be studying!
I guess I'll leave out of here without a pic this time. More to come soon - school starts next week and I'll be procrasting quite a ton!
**Time does NOT heal all wounds in the South. In fact, Time makes someone wronging you fester uncontrollably until you about burst with disgust and growly noises when thinking of said person who wronged you in a cauldron of tongues of fire. In the Mid-West we just tell you you're an asshole and move on, but here - oh no! Bitterness is like a good wine...
