My fall break starts today (well, actually it started yesterday when I cancelled both of my classes to get a jumpstart on not doing anything) and I am so so so excited about a few days of just relaxing. I've really enjoyed teaching this semester but pairing it up with going to school myself makes life fairly stressful. Add to that trying to have a life outside of school and I am pretty much always exahusted. Yesterday I slept in, had lunch with Josh, took a long bath, then worked on finishing the wedding thank-you notes while drinking a glass of pinot grigio splahsed with cranapple juice - it was very good and I had too much ebfore I even knew it!
Im heading down to Knoxville tomorrow to spend some time with my parents. Sarah Jane and Jeff are going to be in from New York and its going to be great hanging out with them and getting to see Sarah Jane again. Last night I had a dream that I visisted her in New York - it was very interesting. My real reason for going home this weekend, though, is Michelle's baby shower on Saturday afternoon. I haven't seen Michelle since she got married and I am so happy for her - I can't wait to go baby shower shopping tomorrow night in Knoxville, I know just the thing!
I am a little bit afraid that I may be getting sick, though. My eyes have been sore the past couple days, my neck has been stiff, and now my throat hurts - not burning, but like I strained it. Several women at Josh's workplace have had strep and I really really hope that this is just my allergies acting up - it probably is.
Well, I just wanted to give you guys a real post of what is going on in my life. I hope that life is happy where you are. Its beautiful here in Boone again today.
Peace,
Audrey
