I am officially tired. Thankfully I only have to make it through a day and 3/4, then I'm on vacay 'til Monday.
The pageant was over a bit after 11 p.m. last night which, when you think about it, was a pretty fast event considering there were 25 contestants and four reigning queens. Have you ever heard four farewell speeches in a row? How many times can a chick say "amazing" before you want to put her out of her rhinestoned misery? I wanted to stand up and scream, "We know. You thank God. You thank your parents. You thank your directors. Let's move on..."
My pal Ashleigh was first runner-up, so she did great. (In the interest of fending off questions from my family [i.e., Dad], this is the Ashleigh who's currently Miss UAFS who I worked with last year. Not the Ashley who helped me move. Moving Ashley is married and pregnant and the Miss America folks frown on that. Pageant Ashleigh's from Bentonville. I don't know what street she lives on or who lived there before her parents. I also don't know her grandparents' names.)
So it was after midnight by the time that I finally got into bed. Between the 5 a.m. garage sale and the midnight pageant, I feel really old.
All I've done today is go to Wal-Mart and watch TV. Now I'm trying to do a bit of laundry and get ready to go "home" on Tuesday.

At the moment where you went into explanation to your dad, I could actually hear him asking questions in the background...What is he doing now that he's retired?
And what color of iPhone are you getting?
Dad's busy sending me sports stories via e-mail and he was mowing a lot of lawns, but not so much now I suppose. I know that he has to climb up on the roof every day and get the cat off so he can feed it. Oh, and he was elected to the illustrious Hartford School Board, so obviously he's a glutton for punishment, too.
I think there's only one choice on the iPhone, right? Black or nothinig? There will be pics this afternoon after the big purchase.
