Busy, busy, busy.

Andy came home from college on Saturday for fall break - he arrived at about 4 p.m. but we didn't get to see him until around 8:30. Reminded me of how much I hate waiting around for people to show up and not having a clue what's going on. It was good to see him. He is enjoying college, making friends, making good grades, singing and doing his music thing. It's awesome. He left Tuesday. I had to take him to the airport about 2.5 hours early so I could go work at the Study Abroad Fair. I'm glad I went to the study abroad fair and it was generous of Andy to be willing to go to the airport early. He got to the Twin Cities around 3 and had to wait for three more hours at the airport for his friend/roommate Nick to pick him up.

I miss going to school. I miss the interaction and the exchange of ideas. It's stressful at exam time but it is amazing to be mentally engaged. Plus, I think I really miss the structure, meeting someone else's deadlines. Oh well. I should try to figure out how to do that for myself. I'm trying to find funding for my nonprofit, right!?

Joe came in Tuesday evening. He brought his fraternity brother, Carl. I fixed them spaghetti and bolognese sauce, salad and bread. We opened one of the bottles of Luna Sangiovese (not the reserve) and sat out on the deck. Yesterday we took Carl to the airport, then Joe and I went to the "new" world of Coke. Then came home for wine deliveries, this time I didn't miss them, and we went to Target for another wine refrigerator. Found one that was less expensive than the one Tim and I bought the other day...The wine bottles are all different shapes so it is hard to fit them all into the cooler. I'm even having to mix reds and whites!

Going to yoga today, trying to get ready for the SMU Alumni event tonight at our home. Tim doesn't get home until 5:00. I think people start arriving then! Oh well. At least I have something pretty concrete to do today. I should be studying for my French class tomorrow!!!!!

Ah, such is life.
