What a great list! (and as someone for whom it is always a stretch--no pun intended--for me to imagine being able to enjoy anything about pantyhose--I think your description actually made me come close!)
Enjoy the dancing and the weekend.

Mine knows I'm a therapy lifer, but not in the sweetest possible way. :D
And a doll for our son would have his head spinning around like someone demon possessed. Although he's ok with Action Figures.

and all done, you know i like your husband. i was just telling him so last night :)
what kind of doll did your son get? the kind that wets the bed? the kind you cook with? i'm glad your son has a doll. and i'm glad your husband didn't bat an eye. he's a good one. i guess since i'm so fond of you, i'll quit trying to persuade him to leave you and stay with me. or, maybe not. i like dolls too. (hello, i am only 24 :)

>> and all done, you know i like your husband. i was just telling him so last night :)
Hmm, do ya think I saw this one coming?
>> what kind of doll did your son get? the kind that wets the bed? the kind you cook with?
Just a doll, KK. She doesn't do anything exciting apart from wearing a hat. And, yes, that's exciting to a two-year old. She has plastic arms, legs, and a head, but her middle is soft and squishy. Kind of like me.
Question, though. What kind of doll do you cook with? Do you have one that bakes therapist cookies with you? I'll have to get me one of those.

You like dolls, you're 24, and my husband thinks your a porn star (see above thread with spoc). I don't know that there would be much persuading necessary at this point. The boobs might be the only thing you have to overcome.

10. no more german for a whole summer! ich habe viel Spass! final is done and i at least answered every question. (*side to chemist... thank you SO much for helping with my und, unt confusion. it helped :)
9. i've been wearing the blue jeans from the back of my closet. now ladies, you know what this means. those jeans you haven't worn since 91. those jeans you thought about giving up to goodwill because you didn't think you'd ever wear them again. yes, those jeans. i'm wearing them and now i've noticed my butt looks even cuter too. yahhh-ooooo!
8. i've been smoking more lately. (stop the lecture all done, i don't want to hear it) however, i also notice that my voice is getting a bit lower because of the addiction. so, forget throat cancer or lung cancer and all that jazz for now, i'm getting a sexy voice rather than my high pitched squeal. (and yes, i'll slow down on smoking and coffee after finals) so imagine, if you will my sexy voice saying to my professors, "well, although i didn't have time to study as well as i should have, why don't we get together in your office to discuss this matter properly? say eightish? i'll bring the martinis and you bring the gradebook." (yahoo, karen's growing up :) bubba would be proud...
7. i'm surrounded by people who love me. my mother loves me. my dog loves me. my sisters love me (and even call me to tell me so). my friends love me. so, from simple deduction, if all of these fantastic and wonderful people love me, i too must be a rather special person as well. not only do i have a sexy voice, but many very special people love me. that, in turn, makes me a very special person as well!
6. adventures! now, i'm not talking about cars blowing up or anything like that, but i like the fact that just yesterday i had the simple task of finding a four way pen. you know, those kind you used in jr. high that have red, blue, black and green ink. i also went out for coffee and cream as well. now, i stopped by walgreens and they didn't have one (it's closest to my house and i had to study; it was supposed to be a very quick trip). what ended up happening was me driving ALL over town looking for a simple $3.00 pen. and i wsa supposed to purchase cheap coffee, by orders of my old man. well, i had to finally buy a pack of pens with all the colors and switch everytime i made a journal entry. i also opted for my regular brand of coffee, even though it was more expensive. but, i wasn't frustrated. i laughed each time i tried office max and walmart looking for a simple pen but they didn't have it. and the cream sat in my car. it was fun driving around, forgetting about my finals and it felt similar to a scavenger hunt. i'm glad i didn't get frustrated. i'm glad i was still able to dance in the car. i'm glad i had a two hour break from studying. and i'm very glad i didn't let something simple like that ruin my day. it was an adventure, rather than a hassle. i suppose what i'm saying is i'm greatful for my attitude about things like that. that i don't let simple hassles bring me down.
5. i found a picture today that was in a frame taken by my old man's folks while we were vacationing. i was wearing shorts (something i only do if i feel the absolute need to "fit in" because i absolutely refuse to wear shorts. ok, i have hang ups too). i looked at the picture and realized that you can see my rear. i had my legs propped up on a chair and my arse is hanging out. (and it's framed!! imagine that!) wowsa, perhaps i'll send it to hustler? and i thought that i knew of all the dirty pictures i had out there. makes you wonder...
4. i've been listening to music alot recently. and the television hasn't been turned on in ages. even the programs i had set to record, i stopped recording. songs are making me cry, and laugh and feel. i just love musicians. who wouldn't? how is it they have the power and words to express what i'm feeling when i can't? i'll never understand it, but i love it.
3. my mail carrier came by today, but i was on the telephone. i didn't run out to greet her, as i normally do. yet, she spent alot of time talking to my dog, who was on the porch. and she gave him a treat (as always). i felt a little bad about not greeting her and i even kind of hid, so she wouldn't see me (i was on the phone, i'm sorry).. ok, this one isn't good....
3. the flowers are blooming and growing and they are so pretty. i'll be picking them from campus (and hoping i don't get caught, as there is a penalty for picking flowers from campus). but, i only take a few, to make my house pretty. i don't think it's bad. i don't take a lot. and they'd die soon anyway. uh oh, i'm getting stuck here....
3. (ok, third time's a charm, right??) everyone wants me to come visit and stay with them this summer. all of my friends want me to stay with them this summer. my mother wants to kidnap me this summer for a while (granted, iheard this second hand, as she'd never willingly tell me that she wants to see me, but it's an honor to hear that she wants to see me from a reliable source. she's just not openly affectionate. she too has some issues, but i can deal with that. i love her you know.) my sisters both want me to stay with them. i have a few friends who want me to live with them. they keep hounding me about that. i'm loved, me thinks :)
2. shew weee! done with that blasted number. i think i've been caught in that trap before.
i had jimmy johns for lunch (thanks for the suggstion all done) and shared my sandwhich with my dog. he ran to greet the person who delivered the food. the delivery man loved him too. i think my dog gets his personality from his momma.
1. good lord, i'm almost done.... this one was rough!
it's almost summer. and i have only a few plans. maybe i'll get a job. i know i'll visit my family, who i've neglected severly throughout the semester. in fact, there's a wedding close ro my birthday. and a luaua (is that the correc tspelling? you know, with grass skirts and hog roasts and beer) with my sister and mom. and i'll see my wonderful niece, who is even prettier than my sister, which i never thought possible. this should be a wonderful summer. in fact, it should be my best yet. as much as i love my old man, nothing beats family. especially mine. get a few drinks in them, and shirts come off, mouths fly open, and fists start flying. oh wait, that's just me. but, as my sister reminded me just the other day, she ran into a 'crazy' man at a wedding who was making eyes at the waitress delivering drinks and she thought about me. he jumped up on stage, looked at my sister and said, 'hey baby, you're dancing with me next." she said she couldn't wait until i came to the wedding and she got the camera out. me either!!! it's a hoot! wish you all were there :)
