i must admit, i'm feeling a little like ms. citizen and ms. o. (i hope they, and you, will forgive the comparison.) a bit like the lawyer because i have a business law exam in less than seven hours, and i still need to study. and a bit like west coast because in about thirty-two-point-five hours i'll be landing in pittsburgh, and - unless she decides not to show - i'll be greeted by my favorite person. and i'll have ten days of super-funcomforthugenjoyment. and the only things between here and there are an exam, a load of laundry, packing, and a little sleep. oh, and a flight, but i'll be so anxious and excited and somehow nervous by that point, that the four hours for the flight-connection-flight should be just enough to get thoughts in order, and the tongue back from the cat.
