And speaking of "sweet"-ness, apparently Lake Superior State University created a list of overly used words to be banned. Although initially I thought LSSU was a made-up school (it isn't), I enjoyed the list. Thanks, mom. However, I absolutely have no intention of limiting my use of the word, "webinar." I'd hardly be able to carry on a conversation without it.
Finally recovering from a horrible bout with contact dermatitis. Yeah, merry fucking Christmas, right? My best guess is that I was reacting to some Burt's Bees soap I recently switched to. After a week plus of itching, a very expensive trip to the local minor med, various experiments with lotions and creams, and a trip to the UT Student Health Center, I look like a human being again. My life feels a lot bigger now that 95% of it is not devoted to scratching myself.
My students thought that contact dermatitis had something to do with contact lenses. Which I actually thought was very cute. I missed them. I really did. And I missed being on a schedule. Too much time to think about shit and miss people over the holidays.
Been missing some people that vanished from my life without warning. I was so angry about it that I didn't have time to feel sad. Now, I am sad. I will recover though. If anyone is worth having in my life, he or she will come around. This sudden vanishing has been a great opportunity to realize who is there for me and truly loves me enough to stick it out through the hard times. It has also been a good time to make new friends. You all know who you are. Thank you. You amaze me.
Also, my poor laptop has been on the fritz for almost a week now. Once again, merry fucking Christmas. I have had the thing for five years, so I really shouldn't be complaining. My problem is the blind faith I tend to inadvertently invest in electronics. I never want anything new or fancy, and it is beyond my comprehension that my cell phone, tv, computer, or coffee grinder should ever need repair or replacement. I love them as they are. They should last forever, right? Fortunately, Matt, the supernice computer guy at work, is taking a look at my laptop this week and may be able to salvage it for a little while longer. God does love me after all.After all of that, I am saying goodbye to merry fucking Christmas and embracing a new year.
In other big news, I cannot stop thinking of what cilantro flavored gum would taste like. Gross, huh?
Also, I can't remember the other thing.

you mentioned cilantro and tuna in the same post, two things that gross me out. Good thing I like you or I would have tossed the computer off the desk upon seeing those horrid words. Yuck.
Happy New Year!
cilantro flavored gum probably tastes much like that burt's bees soap you've been using.
p.s. love you.
p.p.s. not sure about the pg tips. my bag is pretty damn full. when I picked it up at the carousel it had a "warning: heavy tag" on it. but for you, I shall do my best.
How come that one paragraph is spaced closer together than the other paragraphs? That is perplexing.
Contact dermatitis, huh. Sucky.
Colin, it's a good thing I like you, because normally I would ostracize a cilantro hater. Inconceivable!
Diana, tea is light, but my love for you is heavy. So when you return I will welcome your tealessness with open arms.
Kerry, that spacing thing bugs the hell out of me and I reposted like four times trying to make it stop. Trust a fellow copy editor to notice :)
The thought of cilantro-flavored gum gets me a little too excited. Just so you know.
