Oh Michael. Last week was a long one. Matt was gone to a conference in Boone, NC, I finished up my thesis, and one of my childhood heroes died. I know for people who weren't big Michael fans think its kind of weird that some of us are so upset by his death. Matt doesn't understand it either. I know he was weird but I still love the MJ I knew growing up. His music was a huge part of my childhood. I still remember when the music video for Thriller came out and I was not allowed to watch it but I hid behind the door and saw part of it and got freaked out. (sometimes parents do know what they're talking about) I had a red leather jacket when I was five or six that had all the zippers on it, I thought it was so cool. I had a sweatshirt that had him on it in a yellow sweater vest and had matching clip on earrings. I can't even tell you how many time I've seen Captain Eo. I was incredibly upset when they decided to replace it at Disneyland. It just feels like a part of my childhood died. I always had this hope that Michael would make a comeback and be who he was when I was a kid. Thats the Michael I'm going to remember anyways.
Like I said, Matt is back which is wonderful. I hate it when he's gone. Its so boring and lonely. We did a lot of cleaning/tidying yesterday. I washed all of his clothes that he brought back from the conference while he went to do the grocery shopping. I finally got around to vacuuming the living room. I also put all of Zelda's things away in her very own drawer, hung up her clothes and set out her bed. I think the closer it gets to her coming home the more nervous Matt and I get. I'm sure there will be lots of pictures on Sunday of her first day at home. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the week until then.
Finally, I finished writing my thesis. Mark has okay'd it and I'm going to pass it out to my committee today. Scarey! Which means that I need to put together my talk this week. I have my defense a week from Thursday, which is July 8th at 2pm. Thats a scarey thought too. I just want it to be over. Its going to be a stressful week and a half. Matt has to give joint lab meeting the day before my defense and he always gets stressed out before he has to do that. Hopefully we won't start throwing things at each other before the end, lol.
