I wanted to make sure I posted today since I didn’t even make it onto Xanga on Friday.  So here’s the recap:

  • Friday: mostly classes and travel. 
    • I needed to stop at WalMart on my way to CU so that I could head straight home that evening.  The plan was to leave for the farm as soon as possible. 
    • Unfortunately, there were three accidents on I70 eastbound (the road we’d be taking), so we ended up hanging out at home for a while.
    • That gave me time to pack and grade my Basic English stuff before we left, so that was good.
    • We arrived at the farm about 8:00.  Eric and his mom played with their new cameras.  I got really tired, really fast!
  • Saturday: hanging out
    • We ran some errands with my MIL in the morning, then had lunch.
    • We “helped” Alan do a job for another farmer.  Eric drove Alan’s new truck with the machine attached. Alan drove the tractor.  Eric helped load/unload.  I just sat around and read a book.
    • After getting home, we went in to say hello to Eric’s grandparents.  We actually had a great chat with much laughter.  They are the cutest little couple ever!
    • After a quick supper on our own (the family had a church obligation), we headed home.
  • Sunday: busy
    • Church in the morning, plus the drama people had to man a recruitment table. So we all came as characters and generally amused the congregation as they came and left.   I was a newsboy, and I even successfully tied my own tie!
    • We grilled pork for dinner.  Yummy!
    • I worked on grad stuff all afternoon.  The book I read while “helping” Alan was a grad school assignment.  I still had 3 articles left to read.  As of this morning, I still have half an article left.  I just quit because I had NO idea what the man was saying.  Hopefully, he’ll make more sense this afternoon!
    • Small group finished the day.  It wasn’t that exciting, sadly.  But we got home before 9:00, so that was nice!
  • Today: crazy
    • Last night, I didn’t sleep that well.  *sigh*
    • Classes all day, then grad school.  And I really need to get some grading done for Comp.  We’ll see what happens, though!

  1. I think every good woman should know how to tie a man’s tie.  Good job!

    If the guy doesn’t make any more sense, I say you don’t have to press on.  Life’s too short.

  2. Gone are the days when I could maintain your pace!! It sounds like you had a good weekend. I always liked to get grading out of the way…it hung over my head like the sword of Damocles…..or however you spell it.

    I seriously doubt the guy will make any more sense today. Let me know.
