Scattered updates...

I've been a bad, bad blogger. I'm so sorry! :) I have two wonderful recipes I'll post... here's a recap of what's up w/ us...

1. School: I'm on "Fall Break"... which sounds wonderful but in actuality I only miss one class for it. Oh well, it's a bit of a mental break. Plus I had a bunch of big assignments culminating in the past week and a half so it's a break. Scott is laboring hard to finish his dissertation this weekend.

2. Running: The OBX half marathon is one month exactly from today. Yow-zah. I've been feeling really good with my running, doing long runs on the weekends (up to 8 miles on Sunday!) with some girlfriends and having fun, and getting faster! At the same time, can I admit I'm really excited for the event to be over so I can just run leisurely... this whole training plan is exhausting!

3. Work: My co-op at IBM is over next Friday, leaving me as a full time student. Scott threatened to call me a trophy wife... so I might have to get a job to avoid that! I'm not quite sure what the next step is jobwise for me.

4 Other stuff: We're loving Netflix - latest obsessions are watching 30 Rock (they FINALLY put season 2 on netflix instant queue!) and John Adams, the HBO miniseries. And we're not couch potatoes or anything, but having new TV to watch has been really fun. (Don't mistake "new TV" to mean a new television set. We're still rockin' it old school...)

5. Oh, and we also are going through a lot of Shipyard Pumpkinhead beer. We became obsessed on our trip to Maine last month, and once we discovered we can get cases of it at Total Wine? Well, that did it. If you don't believe me, check our recycling bin.

I will say that Pumpkinhead has made the past two debates VERY enjoyable, where as the first one, sans Pumpkinhead, not so much.
