Back to School

Yesterday, school was back in session for all the people.  I love a schedule and a routine (all except the packing a lunch thing...that is not my favorite!)

Harry very kindly sent me this picture from Phoenix!  He was headed to work at the Bureau for his last semester of college!  He will be doing social media and photography for his first assignment.  He said he might be taking photos at the Phoenix Suns basketball practice today, so that could be fun.  

Chip also had a good first day back.  Class was good.  Athletics was hard.  He described doing some kind of roly poly mess they did that was a front roll and a back roll with a tuck and a sprint....Huh?  Is this football or gymnastics?  Whatever it was, it hurt.  Came home and hit his homework right away and read his assigned reading.  Boom!  Great start! 

I made Mongolian Beef last night.  It wasn't that pretty, but Chip said it was the best thing I have ever made. That is high praise.  High.  Now to just make a switch-a-roo to use broccoli slaw instead of rice noodles.  Wonder if he would notice? 

I took Coop to the dog park at lunch and we had a little Tibi time.  It was a beautiful day and dogs and people both had a good visit and soaked up some much needed Vitamin D.  Cooper slept most of the afternoon and evening.  I sat down on the couch about 9:00 p.m. and he ambled over to put his head in my lap.  I was petting his head and ears (in the acceptable Cooper zone) and then he started growling at me.  What a jerk face!  You came over to me!  I guess he would like for me to put my hands above my head when he puts his head in my lap.  Not going to happen, kid.  This canine needs work. 

Today, I am going to make some appointments.  Some health appointments.  Gynecologist; Gastroenterologist; Dermatologist.  Why is that hard?  Also, need to get an oil change and a car inspection.  Not fun, but necessary.  If it wasn't so dang satisfying to mark something off my "To Do" list I would just skip it all!  But dang it, I do love marking things off a list!  

Hope your hump day is glorious!
