The Hunger Games is quite possibly, with the exception of Harry Potter, the best book series I've ever read. I am genuinely having to tear myself away from the third book to drop this little line.
I am aching to visit Auburn. I don't know what's flipped this switch in me-- maybe talking to Alex yesterday about how much I miss Scoggins at FBCO-- but I've been thinking about it all day. Every time I see Lane or Carley or any number of friends still living on the Plains update their Facebook status about something Auburn-centric, I have to fight off waves of jealousy. A trip there is in order, and I'm hoping Cousin Anna-Kate will arrange such a thing any day now... (hint, hint).
Long-distance relationships are exhausting. Every second together is sacred, every minute apart a lifetime... but honestly, it's not OUR relationship that's affected. Instead, it's the lack of having a "home life." We're never in the same city two weekends in a row, so I can't help but see my friendships suffer. From missing David's birthday this weekend, to Wade's the month before, it seems like we're missing SOMEthing in one of our cities no matter where we are. It's hard to concrete any real relationships when things have to planned weeks in advance. I am really, really looking forward to living in the same city as my man, some of my very best friends, and hopefully lots of friends we'll make soon after we settle down.
I thought the fashion at last night's Golden Globes was some of the best I've seen. Yes, there were absolutely some train wrecks, but I think overall I was left wanting in the criticism department. Most of the starlets I watched grace the red carpet seemed very well put-together (I'm looking at you, cast of Modern Family).
Alright, one more chapter of Mockingjay and then I must go to sleep. This Monday-Friday, 7:30-5:30 schedule is new to me and a shock to the system, AND I get to throw in a trip to Tuscaloosa tomorrow afternoon. Yayyy... (I typed that in my imaginary 'sarcasm' font).
Night, friends. xoxo
