busy being busy

We got Light all moved out of the dorm by 11:00 this morning. I slept there last night, but didn't get there until 2:30 a.m. I had a Pepsi as I left Greenwood, and I was still pretty awake when I got to the college. I fell asleep without too much trouble, though.

Light woke up before I did, but I was awake by 8:30. The dining hall was closed today so we couldn't get breakfast here. Light says we didn't miss anything. She may think that, but I missed my coffee!

We had a lovely lunch at Panera. I've never been there before. They don't have fancy places like that in Greenwood! It was good. Then we went to Michael's, the craft store. We don't have one of those in Greenwood, either. I kinda went a little crazy. Shhhh! Don't tell Superman!

Light and I are hanging around the student center now. We're going to meet up with one of her friends a little later and go to a concert here in town. They told me what/who/where, but I forget. I'll tell you about it tomorrow if it's memorable and notable enough. Anywho, after the conference we'll go to this friend's house. She and her partner live in town and are both students. They're close to my age, which as we all know is getting up toward old. Since it'll be fairly late when the concert is over we've been invited to spend the night with the friends. I'm looking forward to a bit of fun and socializing. I don't get out much.

Superman is fixing up Light's bedroom. He has rather a lot left to do. I think he's glad we're spending an extra night away from home to give him more time to do what needs to be done.

Light and I have had a very pleasant day together. We don't do this often. I haven't been online at all today until now, so aside from a little bit of bloggirium tremens, I'm having a wonderful day.

There will of course be further reports as opportunity presents.

Darling you worry me when you say things like, "We don't have nice places like that [panera] in Greenwood." You must get out and have a little spot of brunch, an asian salad or such every now and then or you won't be gay any more. ;)

It's one of those rare angst-free times for a mom. Enjoy it while you can. And excuse me: old? Speak for yourself, hon. I may be older than you, but I'm not "old" until they bury me. Well, unless they let me wear one of those red hats.

michael's is craft crack for me. there are so many things that i want to do and want from there. i have to really exercise restraint when i'm in there.

i used to eat at Panera a lot; their soups are very good.
we don't have them out here, perhaps because it is often too hot to consider soup.
i still want Superman to borrow - we have a honey-do list as long as a summer's day.

Michael's is impossible to leave with out emptying one's wallet. Glad you're having a change of pace.

Glad that you and Light have been able to enjoy yourselves together. And it's a welcomed change for you as well. And I hope you found coffee. I'm sure there were plenty of Starbucks around ;-)

What a fun time you're having! Getting out, having time with Light, socializing, exploring, going crazy at crafts stores, it's all wonderful. And though my ears are apparently eight years older than my body (thanks to Torn's hearing test), I'm not quite ready to be old yet either. I think that was just the lack of coffee talking :).
