Laundry Day

Hello lovely people. I am here in Des Moines enjoying our last few days here in town. This morning we are going to a lunch meeting with Chase's grandfather at Ryan's Steakhouse, which Grandpa Stover fondly calls "Puke and Guts." Yeah. Exciting :)

Then later I am going to have a Trader Joe's date with Chase's sister Amber. I must stock up and prepare for the spring semester. Need lots of curry. I have officially decided to start the "get ready for wearing a white dress in front of a lot of people" health plan. I won't be one of those women who bores you with the details. Sometimes I feel -please don't be offended- some people over share on their blogs. There are personal details that certainly should not be spread out over the interwebs. So y'all. Just expect some updates. Like this summer... the good moments and some of the icky but no gory details. Promise.

I have so much laundry to do today. I am going to love going home with a whole suitcase of clean laundry that didn't cost me 30 bucks. ThankyouMcCoolfamilywasheranddryer. It is a Christmas miracle. Just two weeks late.

I am starting to get excited to go back to classes, not to do work per se, but to start learning and researching stuff again. I also am excited to hunker down and get to work writing my thesis. Very excited. I submitted a paper to an ATHE  Emerging Scholars Debut Panel. We'll see. Not expecting much. There are so many great scholars out there- but some body has to win right? It  could be me?! :)

Last night Chase and I went on a date to a restaurant called Splash! The decor was... strange... but the food was great. We had fresh flown in sea food and whew it was great. I really like dating Chase. I think I'll marry him.

Oh and I need to buy a humidifier filter. Please pray that they still make them for the one I own.. that would be cheaper then trying to buy a new one... blech.

Okay thats all for now.
