Weekend Fun

Dave came to see me this weekend and we went to lunch with my cousin, Chris and his new wife Grete - I love them! And it was great to spend time with them.  Bob and Meemaw also joined us. We went to the Jamestown Pie Company and I had a really excellent salad.

Then after lunch David and I walked around at the Lions' Bridge, which is one of my favorite places in the world, and took some pictures.

Did I mention that Phoebe has moved to Newport News with me? This makes me so happy. So does her HOT PINK leash.



Forgive the low quality of the picture, it was taken with my iPhone, because the batteries in my new camera are dead and I haven't bought more yet.

Things I also need to buy:
Treats for Phoebe
Colorful pens for color coding notecards
Various items like deodorant and toothpaste
GROCERIES.

My choices for dinner tonight were frozen pizza, ice cream, or a questionable sandwich. I've done nothing but gain weight since the semester started because I feel like there is only ever junk food in the house; I also don't have a measuring cup for dog food so Phoebe has been gaining weight like crazy too because I've been eyeballing what 1/2 cup looks like. It doesn't help that I am going out for dinner with Brittany once a week and we nearly always choose Mexican food. Also contributing to my weight gain is the amount of time I spend sitting at my desk or lying in bed with a text book.

The two of us - me & Pheebs - are going to start going for runs around the neighborhood if it ever stops raining, which doesn't look likely for this week, but all of my athletic clothes are in Powhatan anyway, so I guess our exercise routine doesn't begin until next week. That is good because it gives me time to mentally prepare.

Two blog updates in one night has given me a lovely break from studying for my Latin test but I really need to get back to it and get some sleep!
