28

Three ways I'm getting old:

I have fresh flowers all over my house.

I like color on my lips.

I'm now a newspaper subscriber (to a mediocre newspaper, but still- I subscribe!).

Other ways:

I spent my Saturday morning shopping for cloth napkins to match my dishes and Thanksgiving decorations.

I was pumped to get my flu shot today at work.

I'd rather watch Friends reruns than meet new TV characters.

Lakeside

While Miles is away, I had the chance to go visit my Granny at her lakeside campground in the north Georgia mountains. She camps about once a month, but sometimes stays as long as three weeks at a time. On my way out of Knoxville on Friday afternoon, I had seriously considered turning around and heading home. The traffic was horrible (two lane roads, ugh) with the entire world trying to get to the mountains for our first cool weekend. However, once I arrived I was so happy to be there. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

What was funny is she mentioned that she wanted to eat at a place called Cupboard near Dillard, GA. When I asked if it was the Cupboard cafe, she didn't think it was a cafe... :) Well, it ended up being the Cupboard cafe. A restaurant I first ate at back when Miles and I were only in the very beginning stages of our relationship. This picture is from 2004, I think. Funny, I don't remember when we went!

And last, me and Granny. Not bad considering I hadn't showered, I hadn't brushed my hair, and I hadn't washed my face before I went to eat. :)

Argentina again

While I stay home making money to pay the bills, Miles is back in Argentina for the International Palaeontological Congress. It's hard not to be jealous. I studied Spanish for so many years, but I've never made it to a Spanish-speaking country... and there goes Miles (the guy who made a D in his first semester of Spanish before returning to Latin) on another trip to South America.  Hopefully, this time he will bring me back more than handmade chili bowls and wine.
