A Weird Start

This has been one of the weirder starts to a school year that I've had. Last night I was getting ready to go to bed and finishing up some things in the kitchen around 11, and I kept noticing ants crawling about. There were too many for my liking, and so fearing I'd wake up at 5 to a full on invasion, I changed back out of my pjs and Kyle and I went to the store to get some spray. 

Kyle wanted to go to Whataburger while we were out, so we went through the drive through, which took way too long for a fast food place. But it was kinda fun being out and about at night. :) (it doesn't take much, people)

I finally got into bed around 12:30 or so, and I closed the door with the cats in the room with me, so they wouldn't go sniffing the bug spray. I think I inhaled some of the spray myself, as I had a sneezing, coughing, runny nose attack. Of course, once that calmed down I still couldn't sleep for quite a while. I ended up with maybe a couple hours of patchy sleep. But I was excited to get the day started and pack up my snazzy lunchbox for the first time!

So, I headed out around 7:20 and got to Baylor right before 8am. My class didn't start until 9 but I like being early and getting some work done on campus in the student lounge. I overheard a professor starting an undergrad class with some spiritual yoga, so that was interesting. Eventually some people I knew arrived and I hung out with them until class started. About half way through class, the super loud and blaring fire alarm went of, much to our surprise. To our continued surprise, as we all hung out right next to the building, the alarm kept going off and the firemen arrived. While we were waiting, the idea crossed my mind that my lunch box, which I had forgotten and left in the lounge, had been noted as a suspicious package, thus causing the evacuation and intrigue, haha.

From what I heard "something went off" on the third floor. Eventually the building was cleared and I made sure to grab my lunch on the way back to class.

Due to the lack of sleep, and because it's me, I had a pretty unpleasant headache today, but I only had one class and a group meeting, so I got to recover back at home with some homework and cat time. No sign of invading ants, my crock pot pot roast was a success, I'm going to workout in a little bit, and Kyle will be home later this evening. Tomorrow- first day at my internship!

Grad school is going to be crazy, but I'm really excited. I already feel more like myself, and it's great. :)

Hammock Weekend

The Weekend.

Kyle only had to go in to work briefly on Friday afternoon (and in civilian clothes), so I went along and we went to lunch at El Chico and to see The Hunger Games! :) I hadn't planned on seeing the movie for a while, after the hype died down and it would be less busy, but I wanted to take advantage of the timing- a 2pm show on a weekday, when kids would be in school and the theater was bound to be relatively empty. My plan worked! 

Some wedding things- finally getting Kyle measured and looking at some outfit options for him, and the arrival of some more little details! I found out my dress has also arrived back in PA, so I'll have to plan a trip back up for a fitting! Invitations have been arriving at their destinations, and it makes me really happy to hear that people got them and think they're nice.

We played outside with the kittens and Kyle put up his hammock. 

Kyle got all the parts for fixing his motorcycle, and fixed it! And I started to reread The Hunger Games while cooking in the heat and getting a couple shades darker outside. Because even though I just finished the series, I'm not ready for it to be over.

Kyle is out visiting an Army buddy, and I just finished a workout. 

pre-workout, obv.

Tomorrow is: laundry, groceries, taxes. Maybe more time in the sun. Filling out papers. Dreaming of wedding times ahead! Getting mug swap things ready to send off! OH and watching the Pens game!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Weekend Recap

It was quite a nice, relaxing, full-feeling weekend. Date night, buying a lawn mower (you know you're a grown up when), working on some projects, some people came and cut down a tree in our backyard, a kid came to our door and asked if we wanted to buy some pies, husband made a blog post, we made guacamole and watched the Superbowl (commercials). Kyle doesn't have to go in to work today, so the weekend continues, sorta (with laundry and grass cutting). I spent it well, feeling so happy and lucky and in love with my husband and kittens.

Hercules and Black Hawk Down.
both were watched this weekend. both were picked by husband.

Weekend Snapshot

I might have a bad habit of occasionally snapping pictures when stopped at red lights. Possible photo series?
