October Ultimate Coffee Date!
Hooray! It’s the first Friday of the month, which means I’m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. It’s obviously time to get out the Halloween mugs. Pour yourself a spooky beverage and join me! The first thing I would tell you over coffee is, tomorrow is my son’s senior recital. We can’t be there in person but will be able to watch it via livestream. I’m dealing with a cocktail of emotions here: disbelief that he’s a SENIOR in college, nervous for him (I mean, I’m sure he’s well-prepared and will do well, but a mom has to worry), sad that his time at Baylor is coming to an end, and of course- so, so proud of him. The baby whose nickname was “Li’l Sumo” is now a MAN. So what else is on tap for the weekend? My husband and I are planning a little at-home “Oktoberfest.” I’m not quite sure what that will entail, other than beer of course. My husband is very enthusiastic about the beer- “Let’s make it really cold! We can get a bucket and put all the beers in it with some ice!” WHOA THERE. I’m not sure how many beers he plans on drinking, but my limit is probably 1.5. We’ll have to have something to eat as well- I’m looking at this website with vegan Oktoberfest recipes. In other news, I got a letter saying that my request to postpone jury duty has been granted. PHEW!!! Interestingly, I’ve talked to three people who told me when they get a jury summons, they just throw it away. They figure since it’s not registered mail, no one can ever prove they got it. Huh! Now I’m feeling virtuous about getting out of jury duty the “right” way. Or, maybe I’m just a fool. Lastly, thanks to everyone who complimented me on fixing my blog. Unfortunately I did NOT fix it (yet) and the only way it looks “normal” is if I include lots of photos (to make the post long.) Here’s one of me in my element… What would you tell me over coffee? Do you have any plans for the weekend?
