My husband received a letter from UW today stating that he’s been accepted as a transfer student into the Near Eastern Studies program (I should specify that I mean the University of Washington rather than the University of Wisconsin / Waterloo / Wurzburg / Wyoming / Wales / Warwick / Westminster / Wollongong) I’m so proud of him I could just pop. I think we should celebrate with chocolate.
Hmmmm…, we have a chocolate problem (specifically a lack thereof)
I told him this…
Me: I need chocolate
Him: (something completely unrelated to chocolate so I wasn’t listening)
Me: that’s nice, but what are we going to do about our chocolate problem?
Him: What do you mean we? I don’t have a chocolate problem
Me: What’s mine is yours and I have a chocolate problem
Him: (laughs and returns to playing Grand Theft Auto – Why did I ever buy him that game?)
How is it possible that we have no chocolate in the house?
It’s been over 70 for the past three days in a row – and the first weekend without rain this year – causing Seattlites to cry “What is that great shining orb in the sky?!?”
Thanks to the sunburns, today my office was filled with red noses and for the first time this year – not because of the ever circulating and evolving flu.
How odd so many more than usual called in sick today…
Unfortunately I have to go straight from work to class, and I wont be done with that till 10. Not that I spent much time playing outside this weekend anyways. Nope – big old sunbeam right plumb in the middle of my bed and I curled up and napped in it just like a cat.
we spent the day on a research vessel today – mostly taking readings of water properties and collecting water samples. Raising and lowering the line with one piece of equipment or another all day – but it was fun. For the most part it was gray and spitting rain, but on the way back home there were a few sun breaks. We saw a bunch of sea lions just hanging out in the water together – too cute. And I got some pics of the ballard locks as we were going through.
School starts tomorrow, so we’re in the final phases of getting ready for that. We’ve been stressing quite a bit about the books, as we had about $200 total between us, and all of our books totaled over $450 at the school – and that included used where they were available. We spent a lot of time agonizing over which books to buy and which books to try to get through the semester without… But really, we need the books.
We went home without buying any of the books, and I hit the web, researching all the used books and used textbooks sites. I managed to find everything on Amazon.com for less than $200 – including shipping charges. They probably wont get here till late next week, but for that kind of savings, I think we can wait a week.
