Living The Good Life

I'm a bit homesick right now (what else is new?) and have been a bit mopey lately.  I'm not admitting anything, but I might have spent a considerable amount of time this weekend (read hours and hours) watching Grey's Anatomy and Buffy the Vampire Slayer while laying listlessly on the couch.  Eating cupcakes.  I know, pathetic.

More to come soon...
