Weekend is over slump.

It's official: I am in "the weekend is over slump" tonight.  It hits about 7 on Sunday night, especially on weekends when I have company.  The parents and the puppy are gone, the boyfriend is gone, and I am left to prepare for the week ahead, i.e. dreading the next two 11-12 hour days and everything else until Thursday.  I changed into PJs the second Anthony was out of the driveway, and that pretty much sums up my mood.  But having my parents here this weekend is also a reminder that someone is missing: my wonderful Saster, Beth.

Love her!

My sister is a wonderful friend. She is a great listener, she'll tell you exactly what she thinks, and she is hilarious.  She is currently working on her Ph.D. at the University of Florida approx. 11 hours and 57 minutes, 710 miles, away from me.  I see her at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and usually twice for a few weeks in the summer, which for me (and her, I know) is NOT enough.  I'm really proud of her for continuing her education and enduring what has been necessary for her to do get what she wants in life, but Im tired of her being so far away.  She has two years of funding left from UF to finish her dissertation and she is definitely a procrastinator (which is totally not my style...at least not to her degree, but I have always tried to be understanding of this fact). But this is me calling her out. Saster, if you are reading this by chance, do what you have to do and COME HOME. By home I mean within an easy drive of ME.  And by easy drive I'd say, lets keep it under 5 hours.  So I have made this rough approximation of the areas that I would prefer you choose to live:

So, I know that's pretty bossy of me and I know that it isn't THAT easy, but just tell me you'll try :p
Can't wait til Turkey Day, I miss you mucho!
