(Now that I think about it, the term "post-planning" is a bit of an oxymoron, right?)
I was worried Tuesday that my week was getting off to a bad start when I went to the English Department fridge to help myself to some blueberry dessert, and this happened:
I texted this photo to my friend Jeff, who responded with, "That is the saddest photo I have ever seen." Indeed. INDEED.
(In retrospect, that might have been the universe telling me that the last thing I needed was a fattening dessert.)
Anyway, aside from dessert catastrophe, meetings, paperwork, and classroom cleanup, the week did include a couple of fun moments. Wednesday night, I went with a few friends from work to see the musical Hands on a Hardbody at Aurora Theatre. It's about a group of people who are trying to win a new truck by placing their hands on the truck; the one who can stand there the longest wins. It was entertaining and fun, but I don't know that it is one I need to see again. (Related note: This is the third production I have seen at Aurora, and all three have been top-notch.)
(See how clever we are, with our hands on the truck in the poster?)
And Thursday, I joined some friends for a "last lunch of the year." I've gotten to know Bethany, Shannon, and Jeff really well over the past six months, and I'm so grateful for their friendship. (Perhaps we even got into the habit of going to a local bakery for cupcakes on Fridays. And maybe we also called it our "cupcake club." Again, another reason why I didn't need that blueberry dessert.)
(Fun Fact: Bethany, sort of next to me/behind me in the photo, was in my advisement group when she was in high school. I feel old.)
Now, as I sit here in my PJ pants, drinking coffee and watching Good Morning America (ah, summer, how sweet you are!), I'm trying to motivate myself to go to the gym because that's the price you pay when you have been a charter member of a cupcake club.
