chestnutcurls | busy, busy, frightfully busy

My phone has hardly stopped ringing all day. Every day someone else requests something, or a new project is announced that I'm supposed to participate in. If any of you have wondered why I'm not so chatty lately, it's not because I don't like you or because I am depressed. It's because I have so much to do that if I do get a second to post, I'm so frantic that I can't think of anything to say. Please keep this in mind if I am quiet in the coming weeks.

Tonight is date night. :) Evan and I are having dinner and going ice skating. Have I let a week go by without mentioning how wonderful he is? Well, he's wonderful. Last night he called me his best friend and it made me just as happy as when he calls me his girlfriend. :) The rest of the weekend is also already planned. Saturday night will be our first double date with Kathy and Daniel. Kathy is done with school for the semester, so I'll actually get to see her in daylight now. Evan had recently accused her of being a vampire and said he was going to sic Buffy on her.

It was snowing very, very tiny flakes when I came in from lunch, but it's gone now. I'd love snow for Christmas.

Here's a random thing I thought about today: vitamins. How did people discover vitamins? Do they have mass? I mean, did some scientist extract juice from a carrot, put it under a microscope, and go, "Wow, check out that Vitamin A!"? How did they figure out what the different vitamins did and which food items contained them? I'm sure I could look this up on Google, but I'm too busy. I'm just idly wondering.

Wow, I need a vacation. I think the 19th is my last holiday party, and then I'll be free for a little while. I won't have any more potlucks to cook for, or solos to practice, or presents to buy, or cards to write, or parties to go to, or boyfriend's parents to get stressed about seeing. That'll be nice. :)
