Quick update from Idaho

I should be starting on my way home on Thursday... we've got things arranged for my grandmother's youngest sister to come up for a few days until my dad can get here next week. So, I've started working on getting the house ready... my Aunt Hannah may be younger than my grandmother, but you'd never know it to look at her. Technically, they're half-sisters, and it's amazing what a difference one set of genetics can make... fifteen years difference in their ages and you'd never know it. So, she'll be help, in that she hasn't just had major spinal surgery and can get around a little easier, but it's a good thing it's pretty much just for the weekend.

Oh, hey... it's apparently a balmy 10 degrees out there right now, according to the news. I know, not as bad as some places, and we haven't had any new snow since I got here... I hope all my friends in the Eastern US are doing okay after getting slammed this weekend!

Extreme weirdness today at Curves... the lady working behind the desk was convinced I had some sort of accent, but couldn't place it. I didn't think I sounded all *that* different from people who live in Idaho.

( Just got done watching tonight's 'Medium.' )

( Speaking of shows with story arcs, I'm finally caught up on 'Veronica Mars.' )

( And is anyone else still indulging in the guilty pleasure that is 'Desperate Housewives'? )

I can't wait to get home so I can catch up on "24" -- my grandmother doesn't get FOX or UPN (thank heavens VM has been reruns).
