not ready.

i had planned to take this afternoon, after school, after some lab work, to get ready for my little trip tomorrow.
well it didn't quite work out.
ack.
i got home to find the power was off. so. i couldn't do the planned laundry for the planned outfit. i decided to go to macy's. no luck. none at all. but i sure did spend a lot of time trying. then. i realized i hadn't printed my photos yet. i had planned on getting them printed somewhere instead of printing them myself, but by the time i remembered, it was too late. so i went home to try to get started... and the photo printer is out of yellow and "pink magenta" ink. there are like 9 different ink cartridges in this printer... it's insane to me that some of those other colors couldn't compensate. i mean really... magenta can't cover for "pink magenta" in a pinch? [apparently not.] so luckily, i realized this in time to get to best buy and get some ink. by then it was past 8:00, and i was hungry. so james and i went to eat. i was so tired at dinner. then we went to check on helix, and i sat down on his bed while he was fixing his contact lense or something and i fell asleep! that was not in the plan. he decided not to wake me up either. so 2 hours later, i finally woke up and realized what happened. now i am home. i still need to do laundry. i still need to fix the printer. i still need to choose, then print my photos. and i still need to pack up all my supplies into a non-existant scrapbook tote. yeah. non-existant. i never scrapbook outside of my house, so i've never purchased one of those crazy scrapbook totes. perhaps my big signature brown coach purses will suffice.
ok. i better get started.
did i mention i am still ridiculously tired?
but so excited. so i'll have to focus on the excitement to get me through the night. :]

[and this one because it's amazing. you have to listen to the lyrics... loads of science mixed in. how could i not love it!? plus, since i started working in my lab... i've become more fascinated, and less creeped out by bugs. ha.]
