where is my mind part III + apologies + disclaimers

So I don't really feel like giving a good weekend update but all I can say is that we had an insanely busy week and I really have completely lost my mind. Mostly I'm just using this post to whine, so feel free to ignore it (although some of my brainlessness is entertaining).

Anyways, I am a total stress case, disaster, etc:

1. Last Sunday I made chicken enchiladas. Then I took them out to "cool" on our stove. Apparently I had left one of the burners on earlier. All of a sudden I smelled burning ran to the kitchen and then grabbed the pan of enchiladas with my bare hands to see what was wrong. Needless to say the enchiladas were burned and so where my fingers
2. Poor James probably had the most boring b-day ever because he spent the evening alone while I was on campus. Also he already bought himself his present (two new drills!) so I didn't get him much. I did get him a blazer which he wore on Saturday and some girl working at Nordstrom told him he looked slick. I consider that a fashion victory. James cleans up nicely.
3. Friday night I filed plates for 6 hrs(probably the most miserable part of intaglio printmaking). At about hour 5 I started crying uncontrollably in the intaglio room. My neck/back were killing me and it hit me how much I really have left to do. It was very embarrassing and I was grateful there was no one there to see me.
4. After my meltdown on campus I came home around 10 pm and decided a grilled cheese sandwich would cheer me up. Then before I went to bed around 11:30pm I smelled burning. Once again I had left the burner on - fortunately I hadn't left any enchiladas on it this time.
5. Today I had to go into work after Church. I'm not sure what happened on the way home but some how I stopped at a red light but then during the middle of it decided it was time to go even though the red light had not ended. I looked up in the middle of the intersection and saw that it was still red, panicked, and decided to back up. During the process of backing up it turned green. I felt ridiculous but I was grateful I did not get in the way of any cars (esp. b/c I still have that expired driver's license).

I'm sure that is only a sampling of this weeks mess-ups but I think those are embarrassing enough.

I apologize for not posting more replies on my project blog. I usually take the pictures outside so the pictures turn out a little better but I have not been home during day light hours and the weather has been kinda bad. I hope to have them all on there some day. I have continued to receive replies which has been wonderful!

Also I apologize in advance if I am mean to you in the next 3 weeks or if I don't return an email or phone call. Hopefully after Dec. 1st my brain will come back.
