Ummm...can't think of a good title...

Well, I started off writing a blog last week, but got interrupted by one of those pesky snack times. So, I figured I'd just start over, cause all of that would be old news by now :-). Speaking of pesky snack times, I've got another one coming up in about 10 minutes, so I'll type fast, and stick to the highlights...

• Week before last (has it been that long?) was family week, and my parents and brother came out here. It was great to have them here, not so fun to have to say goodbye after only 5 days though
• I've been able to go out on more passes with friends, and with my family here, which has been fun, and nice to be partly in the "real world". If I can figure out how (and if I can) post pictures on here, I'll put a few up (let's keep it on the DL though...cameras are technically contraband here)
• This last weekend I actually didn't go on any passes, which I was looking forward to just having some time to chill....I feel like I haven't gotten to relax and do nothing in SO long. It actually was more challanging than I thought it would be, being the only one that was here for some of the time. I learned that I might not be ready to have so much alone time, and so little accountablity. And without going into too much detail, I also was able to really feel how crappy it is to feel deceitful and sneaky, and how I NEVER want to be that person, and feel that way again. Not to say that it probably won't ever happen, no one is perfect, but I think I have more motivation to avoid it as much as I can.
• Last week a friend and I made a very important discovery. The outpatient clinic on the other wing has REAL coffee...not the nasty stuff they try to pass off as coffee in the cafeteria. And...they leave their door unlocked...we've made it a break time activity now. Shhh, don't tell :-). Haha...every time we go down there, I get the 007 theme song stuck in my head :-)
• Speaking of songs getting stuck in my head, that has driven me crazy lately. I've always been one of those people who gets songs stuck in my head, but it's gotten worse I think. Is it normal to NEVER not have a random (and they get pretty random!) song stuck in your head? Seriously, I think something's wrong with me...I have to remember to ask the doctor about it next time I see him

Ok, I must go to my snack now, and then our whole group meeting after that, which should be pretty interesting, there was a lot of drama in the group this weekend...as much as I don't like conflict, at least it keeps it interesting :-)
