This week was the last calm week before the storm. The students move back next week, and then the craziness ensues. One toast to calm!
- the return of reality tv: It's great to see Top Chef and Project Runway back. Watching these two shows always inspire me to yank out the pots and pans and sewing machine. And since they're already out, it's only helping to cultivate that urge!
- good movie adaptations: Manda and I went to see "The Time Travelers Wife" Saturday night. I really enjoyed it. I absolutely loved the book when I read it in college (and appreciated it even more after studying at the Newbery Library where a significant portion is set). I often avoid adaptations, especially ones with complex story lines, but this one was surprisingly well done. A good story. It's not the book, but I still really liked it.
- homemade pie crust: I'd never made my own pie crust before this week, but the recipe I linked last Monday really worked well and was so easy. She's right. Making a crust really does show your love, even if it's that easy.
- meeting my new neighbors: They're missionaries at another local college. Both girls look about my age and seem fun in the few minutes I talked to them. It'll be nice to have more young people in the building.
- getting my internet fixed: My internet is back. Which means I can finally take advantage of Amy getting a webcam! I miss seeing her face everyday now I get to substitute this. No more cutting out in the middle. Conference calling on skype with Em and Amy made me feel at home again :)
Um yeah you get to see my face. Its called a picture. Duh. But pretty sure that conf. call was the most hilarious thing ever. Lucky for you, I do repeat performances. :)
ReplyDeleteYay for Project Runway :) And yes, another conference call is in order very soon.
