drowning inside

I have drunk so much water in the last week, that I feel as if my insides are drowning. It's good for me though, right? :-)

Jeff is coming to have lunch with me again today! He came on Mon and Wed too and we had a blast entertaining all the financial aid folks in the break room with us! Jeff is such a hoot when he is in his element...and honestly, what's more fun than commiserating about students?

It is quiet in the office today. Jan is out this morning undergoing the three hour gestational diabetes test. I hope all is well. I am sure she'll call in a bit.

We are having some friends over for dinner tonight. Jeff is grilling a porkloin (mmmm...meat cookies!!) and we are having a deep dish apple pie for desert! Woohoo!

I am looking forward to Sarah coming next weekend. We are going to Dragon Con together...which is not necessarily my thing...however, I will do anything to hang out with Sarah. Maybe I'll get some good pictures for my Dad. He is a big sci-fi person.

back in class

Today is the first day of the fall semester here at UGA and the place is a madhouse of activity. It took me an extra 10 minutes to get to work this morning because of the dramatic increase in traffic. Who would have thought 8 a.m. classes were so popular?

Jeff is excited the get back into the routine and I think he is really looking forward to his courses this term. It was fun to see him so excited about buying his books!

We have already had four people in the office this morning looking for their classes or the Bursar's office or Financial Aid...poor kids...can't event read a campus map. It is amazing that the smarter these kids are supposed to be, the more difficulty they have with the simplest tasks.

Oh well...

fun times

There is this awesome chick that I met at church -- Katy. Katy is working on her MA in English at UGA and she sings alto! I love to sing with her. Anyway, I thought she was cool, and over the last few months we have started talking more and stuff. We invited her over for dinner last night and to my extreme delight the evening turned into an old fashioned slumber party. It was awesome! We listened to music, read poetry out loud..how grown up of us, right?, and she and Jeff talked shop. We also went and got cookie dough and ice cream and one of those cans of whipped cream and we totally pigged out...this was after we had sushi and stir fry for dinner thanks to the awesomeness of my dear hubby, Jeff.

Anyway, I slept on the couch and Katy got the air mattress and we stayed up way too freakin' long...like 3:30. But it was just awesome. We woke up and all three of us went to 5 Star Day for brunch and it was just the perfect Saturday morning. It is so awesome to know that even though we are "adults" we can still have kid-style fun! :-)
