I felt so very productive Monday night. It’s amazing how much time I seemed to have. I guess when Bill’s around I don’t realize how much I just like “being”. So, I filled my hours with plenty of girly projects to appreciate the evening.
Tuesday I roped Amanda into hanging out. She and Jessica (a friend of the Svir’s) decided that going to a movie would be a good way for a couple of mom’s to have an evening out. Being that I love movies – and moms 😉 – it was a perfect fit.
Last night we had our second “Diva’s” night, and it was my turn to host. I decided to make Supreme Beef Casserole, croissants (not from scratch!), spinach salad, and of course the torte. I think everything turned out pretty well. Of course, these dinners are more about the conversation than the food anyway.
Bill’s busy flying around Northwestern Alaska. He sounds good every time we get a chance to talk on the phone. It sounds like he’ll be heading in the direction of Brevig Mission this weekend. I don’t think he’s been there since we moved. I’m anxious for him to see the new school – and to tell me about the part that’s been remodeled since I consulted out there. Plus it’ll be nice for him to see the Rudstroms.
Tonight the Office premiers – so I am laying low, looking forward to more Jim/Pam drama, and thinking of Friday morning coffee conversations from last year that often started with a recap of the show the night before. 🙂
Tomorrow it’ll be time to put the finishing touches on next week’s lesson plans… my first FULLY UNINTERUPTED week with my students! No crazy schedules – no early release days. I can’t wait!
