writer's block

i have come to the conclusion that my 10+ day lapse in blogging is due to writer's block. well, at least writer's block in my sense of the term. all i have done for the past two weeks is my literature review for my research proposal for grad school. almost every ounce of writing ability has gone into that colossal annoyance and anything left has gone into the work i have on a regular basis for my actual classes. i have a deadline on this phase of the proposal and that deadline is tomorrow so i feel a break in the clouds of my foggy brain coming and silly details of our life pouring into the blog oh so soon.

a random side note: "the weather according to lee"

i love my husband, but we have quickly come to realize that we can be sitting in the same room and have extremely different takes on the temperature of that room. if lee is comfortable, i am freezing. if i am comfortable, lee is hot. without fail. however, this does not simply apply to the temperature inside a room. our polar opposite temperature gauges cover inside AND outside temps. therefore, you think i would have learned by now that just because lee leaves in a short-sleeved shirt and says he will be fine for the day without a jacket does not mean i should do the same. in his defense, at 3 o'clock yesterday the accuweather said today would easily reach 66 or so. i think the high for today is now only about 60. awesome. so what do i have on today? a short-sleeved shirt and flip-flops (with pants, of course). i have a rain jacket but it is not exactly insulating to the cool breeze outside. maybe i have learned my lesson. maybe. lee is probably perfectly comfortable today :)


p.s. - we have a few pictures and videos that may make an appearance on the blog soon. my sister may also be paying us a visit this weekend, and i will be sure to document her visit to tuscaloosa...aka her favorite place ever! (side note: she is an auburn fan and will be attending auburn in the fall...tuscaloosa is not even on her list of favorite places except for the fact that it is our current location of residence)
