drats, beloved and i just nestled in to watch our weekly Meet the Press, and they are doing a "special edition" on Faith in America. One of those touchy subjects of mine, and I'm not that thrilled that I don't get to hear about the whole "Rumsfeld is God" campaign that I just read about.

It does bring up a slightly strange but yet not strange feeling I have in the fact that it is Easter this a.m., and for me, that really means nothing.

well, i brought the girls to the airport yesterday. they safely landed in the middle of the country, and now I have a childless 5 or 6 days. The airport trip is never fun. The girls are always less than thrilled about the trip, and that makes them overly clingy (Thing One) or bratty (Thing Two). This is a very short trip, though, and they will be fine.

Beloved and I went out to dinner after the airport at a very yummy Vietnamese restaurant here in town, and then came home and watched Audrey Hepburn's debut - Roman Holiday. It was very cute. We had a nice evening.

This a.m. I started my week's endeavor: Catching up with classes I fell behind in this past week, and starting outlining. Corporations comes first. Yee ha. I have read approx 20 pages this a.m. I was supposed to wake "early" and then work until Meet the Press comes on (it's a ritual for Beloved and I), and then we're off to IKEA and REI and Bed, Bath and Beyond in pursuit of an Organized Home. REI seems like a strange place to go for home organization, but they have a bike rack. Our bikes are currently just slumped up against the wall, protruding into the kitchen area, and making for a sloppy little corner of the house. We are going to get a rack, where they can be one atop the other.

Then we'll come home, and I'll work. Tomorrow is a day off for most of Boston -- they call it "Patriot's Day" but it's also the Boston Marathon. Beloved's company, however, does not give it off. They don't really give ANYTHING off. If he had vacation or personal days, he could use them, and that is what he did last year. It was our first year in the city, and we walked the length of the marathon in our town (our main street is the main path of the race through this area). We had a really fun day, and it was especially nice in the midst of my 1L year, when free time was scarce.

This year, however, I'm in a quarter system (1L is semesters, then 2L and 3L are quarters), I don't have a reading week to do outlines, and Beloved is not taking the day off. So while the rest of the world (or this part of it) is about 5 blocks away with food vendors and flags and cheering fans, I will be shut up in my home, outlining Corporations.
