Another relatively boring morning update

I guess it turns out updating my blog in the morning is what I do when I haven't quite gotten up early enough to have time to motivate myself to do homework. ;) It's winding down, though! I think today, I need to write my two short response papers and start labeling words for my phonetics project. Tomorrow and Friday I need to study for my final and write my paper, Saturday is my final, and my last paper is due Monday. I'm gettin' there!

Roger's interview went "really well" yesterday. He said he seemed to have a good rapport with the two guys interviewing him (the CEO and the COO... Chief (something) Officer) and that he had lots of chances to show off what he knows. I'd hope so, it took almost two hours! They're supposed to let him know within a week whether he got it or not. I wish they'd just call, like, now and offer it to him. I can't wait 'til he starts working! I know I won't see him as much, but I know he'll feel so much better on so many levels, plus he just looks so handsome when he puts on a suit. :D

Let's see, what else... Mommy and Jimmy are coming for Christmas, and I'm so glad! I was worried she/they wouldn't be able to come, and that was making me sad, but they're both coming, so I'm very excited. Our new guest bed is supposed to get delivered tomorrow, and I bought us some brand new flannel sheets for our bed that are sooo cozy, so we can put our old sheets on the guest bed.

Huck really likes the new sheets. It's funny - the more time passes, the more Huck becomes a Melinda dog, and Rye's a Roger dog. Huck is such a little mama's boy these days. Sometimes it's really lame, but sometimes it's just heart-meltingly cute. Roger always makes fun of me because I like to go to bed early; I'm almost always in bed by 10:00, and I got up at 5:15 yesterday to do homework and did 5 miles with the dogs in the late afternoon, so I was ready for bed by 8:30. I was back here on my computer wasting time before I could (somewhat) respectably call it a day (let's face it - going to bed at 8:00 is pretty ridiculous), and when I went back to our room to get ready for bed, Huck was lying with his nose right up against the door looking SO SAD that he wasn't allowed to go to bed yet. Roger said he'd been lying there just whining very softly since like 7:30 and he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. I knew. He wanted to go to bed! I know because I wanted to go to bed at 7:30 too, but I have human inhibitions and I couldn't let myself do that. Sure enough, as soon as he saw me, he was so relieved. I opened the door, he jumped up on the bed, and we cuddled up and went to sleep. I think it was 9:00 by that point, so I don't feel too pathetic.

Well, it's probably time to start my day. I'll let you know as soon as we find out about the job! Gros bisous à tous.
