had a great weekend. finished up exams thursday night and then ordered pizza with the apartment mates and went to the mall to go ring shopping for the fun of it. then headed home friday morning. friday night, went over to kay's and the whole crew plus a few people made stone soup. it's from the story of the guy who comes into some town and throws a stone into a pot to make soup and the rest of the villagers start adding stuff. we just all brought stuff to add to the soup and let it cook - it turned out really good. it was the perfect night for it - a nice, cool, crisp fall night that was perfect for sitting around a fire and eating soup outside. i love evenings like that, especially when they're shared with people i care about. unfortunately, the night had to come to an end, but i came back to school with 2 things of soup so i'll be able to enjoy it.
saturday, i just laid around the house and didn't do much of anything. it was a beautiful thing. granny made drunk beef for dinner so went to her house and ate and we all sat around the table and enjoyed ourselves.
sunday was the race in martinsville. left my car in danville and rode the rest of the way with pops. grace and courtney went too - first time grace had ever been. got to the track and headed up to the hospitality tent. got there in perfect time. dale jr had just come over to budweiser's hospitatlity tent, so pops talked to someone he knew and the next thing i knew i was in line meeting dale jr :-D they had hats he was autographing for everyone and i got someone to take my picture with him. it was so awesome. anyone who knows me knows how excited i was. then, went back over to pepsi's tent and jeff gordon came in - ended up with an autographed hat from him. went in and watched the race - it was a great one. no track beats martinsville, none at all. came back and got my car, then headed up the road back to school. it was late once i got back.
today, had a meeting with the athletic director at the high school to start planning for the season. in case you didn't know, i'm the new head swim coach at harrisonburg high school. met my assistant coach, got the schedule for the year, and started plannng for the meeting i'm having with the students next week. i'm excited :-) worked for a couple of hours, then came home to fix dinner. was making a chicken and broccoli casserole. unfortuantely, as i was taking my wonderfuul smelling casserole out of the oven, it decided to flip upside down and fall on the floor. so, there went dinner.
so, it should be an interesting week because it's homecoming.
