In my effort to stay on task with weekly posts, I accidentally wrote two Foodie Fridays this week. For the couple of you who may have already read both of them, forgive my laziness for removing & rescheduling one for next week. 😉

Tonight is our first home football game, and campus is abuzz with energy. I’m not permitted to wear jeans like the other 1,143 staff members (totally made-up a rough estimate, excluding my department), but alas – there is no point in complaining about it.

The next home game is versus my alma mater (well, technically, this is my alma mater, too, but I was referring to my undergrad degree). I value my job, so I will sport my current colors and try to remember to “Sic ’em” instead of “Axe ’em” when the players enter the field.

It’s also a long weekend, which isn’t particularly relaxing for me, but I’m thankful for the day off. (Any day wherein the boys are all home together with nothing structured to do is anything but relaxing.) Perhaps I’ll plan to take the boys swimming at the lake and tempt Fate to make it rain!! 🙂

We are also celebrating my soon-to-be-12yo’s birthday tomorrow. I’m in denial and will cope with his birthday when it actually rolls around next week. I can scarcely believe that my red-faced, stout little newborn has become such a young man.
