I cannot believe I start back with classes next week. I am filled with excitement and dread. Excitement in that I do like grad school and dread in that I pretty much have no life when I am in grad school. Sigh...at least grad school is only a couple of years :o)

I had a date on Saturday with the cutest guy I know... my Nate-Nate. We saw Underdog where he quickly learned...There's no need to fear...Underdog is here! He also did a little shopping...more star wars stuff...and we had dinner at his favorite restaurant...The Outback. He also tried to teach me more about star wars but lets be honest folks...I am not so interested! Right now he is obsessed with Darth Maul...who looks completely scary to me and something about he has a double light saber and well I think I may have tuned him out at some point. I had a blast and laughed a lot with him. He also had decided by the end of our day that while I am silly I am quite the fun aunt :o) He is a character to say the least! I am constantly amazed what can come out of a 5 year-olds mouth! I also had lunch at school with him last Wednesday and let me tell you kindergartners are a stinkin hoot. They do not meet a stranger and could care less what anyone thinks about them! Hmmm lessons could be learned from them I think. Children keep us young I think.

So I have a nasty cough and congestion thing going on but the pharmacist (who also had this ickyness) said it was going around and he gave me some suggestions so I sure it is going to go away in a few days :o) Optimism!

Over the last week or two at church we have talked about Jonah. I realized I missed my chance to be rebellious...and that I thought this makes me crack up. Seriously though I have always done as I am expected and not thought a thing about it. I am what one would call....a goody two shoes. And I am very okay with that :o) I have not ever had a rebellious spirit...I have the spirit of a run away though. Not that I have done that in well at least two years but I do have that spirit. Something to ponder...

I have been reading a lot lately. I finished up the Jane Austen series by Debra White Smith...I loved it! I also read Idoleyes by Mandisa. That book was amazing and her cd is out of this world. A highly recommend from me!

Now for a blurb about my Sunday addiction. www.postsecret.com

Every week this guy, Frank, post secrets sent in from all over the world. Needless to say Sundays are not complete until I check his site. I actually call the man Frank like I know him for goodness sake and we have never met!! So this week he posted a video that I just love. It kinda encapsulates what this project is about. So check it out if you want...
