Title:

Well.

An eventful weekend!

Friday we went to South Carolina to pick up Josh's younger cousins, Molly and Shelby. It seemed like such a long drive. I spent the morning making lunch... only to leave it on the counter, distracted by deciding whether to read "The Odyssey" or "The Iliad". Sad, yes... - And neither. I read Edgar Allen Poe instead.
We ate BBQ at a restaurant featured on "Dirty Jobs" because there's a pig farm right behind the store. You can guess the rest... the sandwich I ate was probably fresh from that morning. Did I just here oinking? Oh, well. I'm not mean to animals, but I'm not a pig-hugger either. A pork sandwich is a pork sandwich to me - it all comes from the same place. Mmm...

We left SC at about 3am. Messy hair and barefooted, I drove to Augusta and we ate waffle house at 5:30. Soo tired... chocolate chip waffle and three cups of coffee later, we were on the road again. Drove through Atlanta traffic for the first time, then tried to go to the mall only to find (hey!) apparently, nothing but Starbuck's is open at 8 am. We had to find a bathroom though - and quick! We found one... completely dark, with the lights turned out - apparently closed malls mean dark bathrooms as well. You'd think they'd leave them on in the case of emergency! But a bathroom = a bathroom. Like pork sandwiches, right?
Josh's dad's graduation for a national-guard thingy was at 10 in Atlanta. We made it to the base alright, but there was no time to get all nice or anything. Exhausted, sweaty (it's insane hot in Atlanta, even in the morning), and in the same clothes as yesterday, we attended with the family in tow. We then stopped by Arby's, and afterwards drove our two cranky selves back to Macon for showers, TV, and sleep.
Meanwhile, back to the present, the house is crazy with the addition of two munchkins. (But this DOES mean lots of brownie-bakers!) Scary-movie marathon tomorrow and camp on Friday! Lots of schoolwork to finish before then -

I should be doing that now ...
