  AH!!! It's Tuesday! What happened? -- I pulled a muscle in my back yesterday (Monday). Owie. :-( I've been hobbling about like Quasimodo since Monday afternoon. Don't know what I did. I am on painkillers and a Thermacare back patch (great stuff, those things...) all day today so that I can continue to function.
-- Papers... still ungraded. Thank goodness for coffee, as it will be my close companion these next few nights. -- Friday: Andrea came into town for her CDC interview (Collegiate Development Consultant -- it's a travelling position with Delta Gamma, where she'll get to travel all over the country and visit different chapters...).
So we went out to dinner at Spagio, then to Brothers for a bit downtown. After about an hour, we were both done with the bar thing for that day -- so sad, since we used to close down Bob's in Akron on a regular basis. In any event, as we were leaving my apartment for Brothers, Tank had called and asked if we knew anyone with a hot tub or pool. Which I don't. But I suggested buying a kiddie pool and a home spa thing and making your own. I was half joking. But he called as we were leaving the bar... he and his housemate Kristen went and BOUGHT A KIDDIE POOL! The kiddie pool was not a kiddie pool, but in actuality about the size of a room in my apartment, and held over 50 gallons of water. So trying to fill it with hot water didn't exactly work, as his hot water heater only holds about 50 gallons.
So the water was ICE COLD. I stood in it for about 30 seconds, we took some pictures (since we had it set up in the basement), and hopped out to go get my clothes back on. Adventures... -- Saturday: Delta Gamma Founders Day (celebrating the 131st anniversary of the founding of our national organization, and our three founders' ideals). Went, saw tons of collegians, lots of alumnae that I knew, won a prize in the raffle, ate a good lunch. Very fun, as usual. And next week, I'm going to Akron's Founders Day, as it's Eta Chapter's 125th anniversary. YAY! -- Saturday: urlLink Buca Night! Yehah!!! We got to sit in the Pope Room (surprisingly), which has a bust of Pope John Paul II on the table on a giant lazy susan so you can pass food around more easily. It's a big table for about 20, and the room is circular with all sorts of papal art and knick-knacks on the walls. There's even a "pope" chair outside, so we took pictures in that, and of each other impersonating the pope.
Which was doubly funny, since the entire group was Catholic! Good food, good wine, good friends. What more can you ask for? -- Sunday: Slept in, then watched TV and went to Church. Very uneventful. -- Monday: (see above) Class, seminar, lab. PAIN. :-p I hate getting older. Hope that is enough to tide y'all over for a week or so until I get these papers done. :-( Think of me fondly as you are all having fun...
