Thursday, engaged buddies Thomas & Kayla evacuated Houston & set up camp here in Waco. We had a good couch visit with them & then Kayla headed to her sister's place while Thomas stayed here.
Friday we went to the Dollar Theater (really the $1.75 Theater) with Brock & Stefani to see Get Smart then to a pizza parlor for supper & to watch some of the Baylor game (they actually won!) Next we headed back to our place for ice cream & Brian Regan's newest stand-up skit. The guys love him. We stayed up late & finally hit the hay after seeing the bad weather was going to miss us (but we all had flashlights just in case!)
Saturday Matt & I worked out a wee bit at Gold's & then got ready for our Football & Fried Chicken party! Auburn played lousy (so I was told?) Thankfully there were better things going on in our apartment like Bush's fried chicken & fixins and 10 friends to visit with! Later on our friend Jason from Austin showed up. He frequently has to come to Waco for work (a.k.a. Baylor's Sing program).
Sunday was church, leftover chicken, and lounge time. Sunday evening is also when Matt gets together with some guys to hang out. They've been doing it for almost 3 years now, so that's usually my grocery store or girl time. Last night Stef & I went to Starbucks before she drove back to Dallas. OH MY GOSH! Caffeine really IS a drug!!!!!!! I was bouncing off the flipping walls an hour later!!!! Evening coffee is soooo much more powerful than the occasional midday DDP. Phew.
Today, Monday, was an absolutely GLORIOUS day. Sunny blue sky, warm but cool. I could smell Fall on it's way & tonight it's supposed to dip down into the lower 60's! I love it. I turned off the AC and opened our windows after work. The cool fresh air is so wonderful. After supper I went outside and laid on our front sidewalk to watch the sunset. It was such a simple pleasure to feel the temperature drop, watch the stars come out, and hear the crickets. Unfortunately the mosquitos interrupted my moment and a retreat indoors was necessary.
Now the kitchen is crumb-free, sink empty of all dirty dishes, tomorrow night's menu is planned for our weekly meal with friends while watching Lost, Lucy is laying belly-up on the floor, Matt is productively working on the laptop, and I'm meeting Mac Beverly on Friday. I can do anything but complain :)
