Well, we were supposed to go on a 7 hour road trip tonight … but that just seems so unappealing right now. Who wants to spend 14 hours in the car (granted, it’s a nice car, but …) over a 48 hour period? Yes, we’re cancelling that particular trip. The upside is that we are going to board the dogs for the weekend and take a day trip somewhere that’s much, much closer. Save on the gas. Save on the stress of leaving tonight at midnight after The Coach’s game. Gain some time for grading. Have a chance to balance the checkbook and pay bills. It’s a little bit of a relief. And yet, I still feel slightly annoyed with myself for letting my job dictate my personal life … again. Grrr.
Changing Plans.

About Disenchanted
I am a {gulp} 40ish, animal-loving, Buffy-watching, liberal college professor trapped in a "sorta' cosmopolitan" city in the reddest district in a red state. I love vanilla lattes, big dogs, and documentaries. I have a TV star crush on David Boreanaz (even though he dressed better in Angel than he does in Bones), Hugh Laurie, the father on The O.C., and Alton Brown. Shhh! Don't tell my ex-football playing husband!Cast of Characters
Dr. Disenchanted; Her Husband, The Coach; The Dogs - Breath of Death, Black Plague of Death, and The Tenure Puppy; The Cats - Fattus Cattus, The Bitchlette, Evil Kitten, and Danger Kitten; and Fishhead, the office pet. Eight pets is truly enough!Post-Tenure Projects
