What is this feeling?

Yesterday I had a strange and very unexpected realization. I saw quite a few status updates over the past few days related to Tri Delt and rush. Yesterday was bid day. I kept seeing pictures pop up and I felt myself wishing I was still in that world. To say it surprised me was an understatement. You can talk to Deidre and Brittany- they wouldn't believe you if you told them I said that I missed Tri Delt days. I can't say I miss everything, because that is definitely not true. But bid day and pearl jam are some of my fonder memories. If I just had an excuse to dress goofy and dance around with a bunch of girls all night, I'd probably get my fix.

This week was the first week of after school. I honestly wasn't ready to get back into the swing of things, but once it started, I was fine. The first week back wasn't as crazy as I expected. I'm not saying we didn't have our issues, but I thought the kids were going to be on vacation mode and be crazy all week.

Saturday I went to New Jersey for lunch. Andrew got a zipcar membership and couldn't wait to use it. We had birthday dinners for 3 teenagers that we needed to catch up on from the holidays, so we went out to Red Robin in New Jersey. One of the boys is obsessed with burgers, so it was like heaven. It snowed most of the afternoon and evening Saturday, but I went out and finally got some groceries. This week I survived off of a variety of food. One night I ate crackers with nutella for dinner, and another night I ate tater tots. I almost ate popcorn for dinner one night also. Good news now! I have more nutritious items to eat, but I still haven't eaten a complete meal. Last night I made roasted veggies, corn bread, and an apple with nutella. I'm getting closer. Tonight I ate left overs and a grapefruit with splenda and it was amazing. It only took me about 30 minutes to peel the grapefruit though. It is worth it when I actually have time to put into it. It would definitely not work out for breakfast.

Today we had church and small groups. In church we launched The New Testament Challenge, where we are reading through the new testament in 63 days. In my small group I started a new bible study from the book "Lies Young Women Believe". I am really excited about it and I felt like it will be received really well.

Now that the Osborne's moved out, I am alone in this association building. People asked me if it was scary and at first it wasn't, but I think I have been thinking about it too much and it is a little creepy when I walk around the building now. I was especially creeped out by the basement, which has always been creepy, just extra creepy now.

That is enough updating for now... I would like to do a little Wii Fit yoga before bed. :)

It is really creepy when it hits you that you hvae that whole building to yourself. It was even more creepy when I was living in the office with no windows. Its pretty cool when it comes down to it though.

Can't wait to come visit again!
