Old Friend

I ran into an old friend from high school just a couple of minutes ago. I haven't seen him in at least a year if not longer, but it was really good to see him today. We caught up on some of the people we knew at school, and talked about who we saw recently. We both thought it was pretty wild that we run into each other on the last few days of the quarter.

Christmas is quickly approaching, and Himself and I got our tree yesterday (we both had the day off, and I accidentally slept through my alarm, so I didn't make it to class) and put the lights on it while listening to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on our CD player. We'll probably put the rest of the decorations on it later. It's a pretty small tree, but then again, we live in a pretty small apartment. The tree is probably about 5'' tall, and Miss Thang is very interested in it. This is her first Christmas, so we had to do things right. She hasn't tried climbing the tree, but the branches are a little too close together, so she might not be able to climb it.

Little Princess had to get a bath yesterday afternoon (before we got the tree) because I've noticed her scratching a lot lately. She needed a flea dip, and I had no one to help me (Himself was hungry, so he went to get something to eat), but it worked out. She kept trying new ways of getting out of the tub, but only succeeded once (the door was closed) in the course of her bath.

I'm really looking forward to next quarter, and the best thing is now I may have a new model for my projects. Old Friend (who is actually one or two years younger than me) may be willing to pose (all I have to do is ask, right?) for a couple of lighting assignments, so that will be pretty cool.

Well, I have to get ready for a quiz I missed, so I'll sign off now.
