i am so. exhausted.

playing football for a couple hours yesterday is i think what did it. there was a lot more running involved than previous games and we played pretty hard for about two hours straight. so now i'm tired.

the good news is my pie is looking a hell of a lot better than last time. crust is the way it's supposed to be, chocolate part is thicker, and it's all cooling nicely together. i'll put on the cool whip tomorrow and it'll be done. tomorrow i'll be making mashed potatoes and corn too. weeee.

today was very productive. went to ta at 8:40. talked to tracy for a little while afterwards. that was fun. she's super. then ran to the post office and mailed sarah's mail and erin's birthday present. they should arrive on saturday. went to the bank and deposited money in chris' account. got some lunch from sack's and ate it. then back to school for faculty seminar at 12. i didn't think we had it today and when i found out i almost skipped but it was ron greeley and jack farmer talking about planetary stuff, so i went. gave amy my digital camera to use for her agu poster. came home and ruined one pie crust and made one that's very pretty. went to kristen's and got my recipe book i had left over there and a mixer to use for my potatoes tomorrow. came back home and made chocolate portion of my pie. and now, i am finally getting to sit down. so nice. ahhh.

i also sat on the phone with various people from apple and best buy for awhile today. turns out they need a copy of my freaking receipt from my ipod and protection plan before they'll believe i bought it, not just the bar code from the box. as it was a year and a half ago and i've moved twice since then, i have no clue where that receipt is, if i even still have it. i thought i bought it at best buy so i called them asking for a copy of my receipt, got disconnected, called back, found out i bought the case for the ipod there but not the actual ipod. so i'm trying to remember my shopping trips from a year and a half ago. i think i might have bought the ipod at compusa. and i'm hoping i gave them my cell phone number because i really don't remember my phone number i had in my apartment while i was at nasa for a summer in houston. after being on the phone with various people and machines for an hour or so, and after doing the same for an hour yesterday, i've decided to put the whole thing on hold and not mess with calling compusa until friday. i need a break from this mess before i go completely insane.

it's cloudy in tempe so there will be no stargazing tonight. though i'm sad because i love stargazing and teaching people about the sky, it'll be nice to just sit tonight. tomorrow will be busy and i could use some down time. i also need to work on my planetary geology project. but for now i am going to park myself on my couch next to kepler and watch some mindless entertainment on tv. apollo 13 is on. yay! i'm such a geek.

wonder what i will have for dinner tonight. hmmm.

i get to see a lot of people over christmas. going to the hill country with cate, going to lunch with ex-emt teacher terri, going to try to go see christi in houston, and spending lots of time with sara and todd. i can't wait to see them. i saw terri i think in july or august and cate maybe last christmas? not sure. i believe lpsc in march was the last time i saw christi. i haven't seen sara since august and todd since his leave in february. he should be back in the us in north carolina by now! so exciting. i'm glad to have him away from iraq. it'll be good to see my friends. they're what's been keeping me sane.

going to help erin set up the pictures on her new lj now.

recap: football was fun but i am tired, i was productive, ipod people are making me crazy, no stargazing tonight, sitting is good, i like geeky shows and movies, don't know what to eat, looking forward to seeing all my friends over christmas. woo.
