Monday, Monday (bah da, bah da da da)

Thank you Mamas and the Papas
This weekend was the first time in a long time that I was up before 9 AM on both Saturday and Sunday. Welcome to the real world, huh?
I have to start my review of the weekend with Friday night - eating dinner in Gatlinburg, walking through town, seeing the lights. Fun, fun, fun. I did get pretty tired by the end of the night, but I guess grad school will do that to you.
Saturday was full - raking leaves (getting a blister), then a one-year-old's birthday party (with five other kids attending), a wedding shower, and going Into The Woods. Good times had by all, even when stuck behind the police-escorted football team on their way back from Vandy. All I have to say about that is that the KPD never stopped traffic for the track team on our way to or from meets - but then we didn't bring in 100,000 people for our home meets, either.
Sunday - well, I finally made it to Sunday School (doesn't that term sound like I'm about 7?), taught the kindergarten class during 'big church' (again, about 7?), had Japanese food for lunch (always a highlight), and then drove my good friend to Nashville for her flight back home to Washington state. I got to have dinner with my old roommate, and four other friends, some new, some old, and then drive back to K-town. As I look forward to driving back to Nashville for Thanksgiving, and then home to Altamont, NY, I really wish my Jetta had cruise control. Just know that it's because of all of those hours of driving if I come back in January with one calf larger than the other!
On that note, I'm off to outline some of the chemistry of the elements of the periodic table, and recrystallize some diphenylamine! Sounds like fun, huh? Don't you wish you were me? (jk, I really love it)
