Well, that was a nice little hiatus from entries. But the wolves are at the door, hounding me for stories about my life.

The exciting news is that someone is coming to visit (and hopefully adopt) Dixie tonight!

I had an uneventful weekend. I read two books, which was nice, because my reading rate had slowed quite a bit in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, neither were particularly exceptional - chalk it up to one more failure of Oprah's book of the month club.

I also saw Pirates of the Caribbean, which, believe it or not, I really enjoyed. I totally WANT Orlando Bloom. He's just as cute as a pirate as he is as an elf. And Johnny Depp cracked me up. My favorite quotes:

"You like pain? Try wearing a corset!"

Will Turner: We're going to steal that ship?
Jack Sparrow: Commandeer! We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term.

On Sunday night, I did a bunch of yard work. I was outside from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. and I got a sunburn! Stupid Houston.

I want to be overpaid and with enough disposable income to buy myself a motorcycle.
