I spent all day on Saturday working with apples.  I made apple butter in the crockpot first, then some apple bread (which was yummy!), and then began making applesauce.  I worked all day on it, spending a few minutes on other minor chores when I had a chance, but for the most part, I spent from 11-7 making and canning applesauce.  And when I stopped to clean up (I’d run out of jars), I was beat!

Thankfully, I had planned to stop to watch the OSU game at 8:00 anyway, so I spent the rest of the evening relaxing on the couch with my husband, watching the Buckeyes beat Penn State.  It was a very nice way to end the day!

Sunday was church, lunch, grad school reading, Basic grading, a stroll in the beautiful sunshine, a meeting at church, a trip to the store for pumpkins, and then a pumpkin carving party in the evening.  The social event was a great way to relax, and we had a good time.  Eric carved Tux, the Linux penguin, into his pumpkin.  I my geek!

Today is another full day of classes and grad school (sorry Terri!).  And I also am giving a Writing Center workshop on making good arguments this afternoon.  Should be interesting since I haven’t really looked at it since I did it last semester!    I’ll need to get to that sometime today…

Happy Monday to you all!
