"hombreguapo" is 22 and my sister is coming home for Christmas!

A special "feliz cumpleanos" a mi amigo "el hombreguapo", in Kansas. If I was over there, I would so be your designated driver. And we would hit L-town like bandits, man! But seeing as I'm a good 500 miles away, I just sent you a funny little e-card. Ah, but wasn't it fun? Get yourself over to Piero's if you can, and have that crazy Colombian pull a party out of "nada" for you. You know he could (and would) do it, too. As it is though, enjoy your Bailey's and try to not get into too much trouble.

On a more personal note: MY SISTER'S COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!! This means that all my family is going to be together for the holiday! YES! I always knew it was great to have everyone around for holidays, but it never hit me that my brother and/or my sister might not be in Tulsa for both Christmas and Thanksgiving. In fact, they're pretty pressed to make one or the other. So now I'm thrilled that I get to see both of them again, and suprisingly at the same time. Heck of a deal. Will we fight? Probably. Will we annoy mom and dad? Most certainly. Will we have fun? Abso-bloody-lutely. I think its time for the happy dance.
... just stop reading right for a bit. I'm doing my happy dance.

Alright. So then the upcoming events are:
a) Erin and Eric's wedding in T-town (I am the family representative for those who can't be there.),
b) bike to Ardmore with the hippy (is this actually going to happen? If not, I go to Stillwater instead for what is promised to be a rocking birthday party),
c) receive two refugee Kansas students during Fall Break (and unload them on another unsuspecting student if I need to get lots of work done),
d) brother comes in for a day or two before we head back to T-town for Thanksgiving,
and...
e) finish finals and go home to see my entire family for Christmas.
And looking a bit into the future:
f) come back for a second semester, rock the qualifiers (like they've never been rocked before), get a summer job at a fed, start my research.

Couldn't sleep last night and missed my bike ride this morning. I really need to stop skipping the "recovery rides" on Monday. The idea is to give my legs a break but keep them pedalling so the muscles develop and I can ride faster for longer. But instead I keep thinking, "Eh... I'll just take a day off during the easy ride." Not a good idea. Not being able to sleep sucks too. Sadly I kept some one else up as well, who should've been doing homework. I feel bad about that. But it was a funny conversation. :)
That reminds me... one last event. Cook-off on Friday. Oh yes. It's on.
