BNstate had a HUGE game last night... football...we're the purple ones... who WON!!
Funny, though, more than a few of my Ethics students at BNCC were too ill to watch the game last night. There were also several who had pressing commitments, mandatory training and family obligations.
Tonight there is another big game in my state -- I wonder how my Logic students will do... I hope they aren't sick.... oh, wait, the game is at 4:00ish... maybe they'll have car trouble and horrible traffic until about 7:00... hmmm.

RBO the weekend...
Friday -- Sara's services were kind of hard, but good. It was good to do another cry at the church. It was very good to speak about Sara at her memorial service. The family drama continued -- but nobody ended up in jail (although rumor has it, it was close...).
Saturday -- was kind of a lazy day. Some cleaning, some grading and other stuff -- plenty of short naps and lounging on the couch.
Sunday -- more of the same -- except the crock pot was going all day, with a yummy North Carolina BBQ pulled pork as the end result. I'm becoming quite the fan of Prof Hacker -- I'm freezing the leftovers, along with Friday dinner leftovers -- so now we have at least 9 lunches in the freezer.
Hubby is making mushroom risoto right now for our lunches this week. It's uber-yummy... and smells amazing.
Next weekend I'll be in Red State for the first time since May. I'm meeting with Dr. Advisor, getting my hair done and catching up with a friend or two. It's going to be odd being there without the purpose of seeing Hubby... but I'll adjust.
The following weekend is our pathetic excuse for fall break - -and I'm going to Corn State with some girlfriends... yea, two weekends in a row going down there -- kind of weird that neither of them involves Hubby.

If only I'd found this sooner....
A handset for my cell phone...
It's on the way to me ---
The one thing I don't like about talking on my cell is actually holding the little thing to my ear. It's ok for short conversations, but for a good long talk - not so comfortable.
So--- I thought, 'hey -- the internets has everything... right?' -- and, presto --
Hubby thinks I'm a bit of a freak, but it's turning my cell phone into a regular phone without the inconvenience of having to stay home.

Nesting...
Hubby noted that this will be his first October living in our place... which I find kind of cute :).
I seem to be doing lots of nesting behavior -- cooking, rearranging the kitchen and buying new pillows...
Well, to be honest, the cooking will be tomorrow, the rearranging will probably happen today -- but, the pillows are new.
I really like BNstate this time of year -- and, I'm going to get to see most of it, although I do have two trips planned on two consecutive weekends... only one is workish (a meeting with Dr. Advisor... he's always kind, but I need luck anyway :) ) -- and a girls weekend.
One way or the other, it's nice to have Hubby "home", even if he does spend a lot of time at school -- at least I get him in his 3 recreational hours per week.

Sara's memorial services
Both were good and respectful --
I spoke at the Legion, and I felt as if I had Sara sitting on my shoulder telling me what to say -- it was good, folks laughed when they should have --- and nodded in recognition in the right places.
Now I'm tired -- tonight, a simple dinner and hanging out with Hubby...

On a happier note...
I met our middle school debate team yesterday.
They are a goofy bunch of 6th -8th graders -- some of whom did debate last year, and others who are new..
I thought they were cute... we'll see if they make me nuts.
I find it really funny that D1 is coaching a college team and I'm coaching middle schoolers...

Speaking at a memorial service...
Today I'll be speaking at Sara's memorial service.
It's not going to be easy -- but, I realized that when I volunteered.
I volunteered because so many wonderful people did so for Pam's service.
After Sara gave so many speeches for me -- both in debate and in class -- it's the least I could do.. of course, she won't be able to give me a critique... and I know she'd love to do so!!
