I never thought I could love anyone but myself
Now I know I can't love anyone but you
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone
Maybe I won't die alone
-Die Alone, by Ingrid Michaelson

I am still alive, just very busy.  This is what has been going on:
My thesis is improving - I submitted everything to the IRB last week, so right now I'm just waiting for approval.
My cousin is getting married on Friday.  This means family coming into town.  So, Tuesday, mom and the kids get here.  Wednesday will be spent with them.  Thursday, OM and I babysit for the wedding rehearsal.  Friday is the wedding.  Saturday, there are two baby showers and a general "happy birthday to everyone" party.
Also on Thursday: midterm.
Also on Friday: OM has an audiology appointment.

And you know what else?  We wrote a budget, and we paid off the credit card...
When man plans, God laughs.
We got a flat tire last week and had to buy a new tire.  Then, I found a flea on Aubri this weekend and had a mini panic attack, so we had to buy flea prevention goo.  And then today?  I drove OM to work, ran a few errands, went to OU, got back in the car - and the car wouldn't start.  (Not to mention we'd overslept and I hadn't had breakfast.)  So, I called OM, I called Whit, I called my daddy.  Then I tried to start the car again.  And it worked!  I took it to the car place to get a new battery... but it turns out it's the starter that is broken.  So, our second month of budgeting, and we've already spent an unexpected $600.  Fail.
