Time Flies

Wow. I can't believe it's already December 11. Greg's first final starts in an hour - Property. He's packing up now to head out the door. He seems pretty calm. I'm impressed. I'm just amazed at how quickly this semester has flown by...

Peanut had another checkup yesterday morning. Her liver is good -- but it looks like she still has the UTI. Poor thing. We've got some funky contraption to try and get a "sample" from her so the docs can test her urine. I'm not sure she's going to go for plastic pellet litter -- but you never know. She seems a bit lathargic today too. We're trying to keep a close eye on her since it seems she's still not feeling all that great. What a shame they can't tell you what hurts.

We've been pretty busy since my last update. I made it to Dallas for work for a few days last week. I went to the eye doctor, where they confirmed that I am still seeing 20/20! So, while his bedside manner, and the layout of the office, and the flow of the day stunk... Dr. Boothe rocked the LASIK. I also made it to my Bubbie's house for a Hanukkah celebration. You just can't go wrong with Latkes! Granted, we make them a little different than most... but we do alot of things a little different than most.

So, Greg has been busy studying for his finals - and said it was helpful to have the house to himself while I was in Dallas. So, partially to be nice to him, but mostly because I hadn't seen my friend Amy in ages -- I invited myself to Houston. I have to say the drive from Austin to Houston is WAY better than the drive from Austin to Dallas. Maybe I was lucky - but I just cruised right along. It was so wonderful to see Amy and Emma -- AND, I finally met Matt, Amy's fiancee. Emma was my bestest friend all day long until it came time for bed. She apparently did NOT want to let me sleep in her room. She told me I could have the couch. How sweet of her... (I won, and got the bed.)

Sunday, I was lucky enough to go to Nick's Sports Bar for a Green Bay Packers game. The bar is taken over by the CheddarHead Pack of Houston. These people are nuts - but it was a blast! Since Amy and her folks are on the CHPH committee - I would expect nothing less. Every single person there was dressed up to the nines in Packer gear. I felt a bit out of place in my University of Texas shirt... but figured it was better than walking in there in my Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt!! But... this week was when Amy and Matt were living up to their end of a bet made with a Cowboy fan at Nick's. It's the end of my lunch hour -- but I'll upload pictures later tonight.
