Long Weekend

I am enjoying the rest of the long weekend since my second School Law class is over. It's funny how quickly the cohort classes fly by. This weekend was our second time meeting, and the next time we meet (in April) we take our final and go home. Wow! We talked about more interesting Law subjects and heard some very funny stories from our teacher. I think in order to teach master classes, you have to have funny stories or they won't let you teach. Between now and April I need to get my rear in gear and complete our final paper. My paper is on Student speech. Shouldn't be too tough to get an entire book out of that subject. My other class this semester, Personnel, meets for the first time on my birthday weekend.

Valentine's Day was fun. Doug sent me beautiful flowers to school on Friday. I love that he sends me flowers at work because I get to hear all the other ladies say you can tell I'm still young. Good news for me, Doug has a great role model in the flower business. His parents have been married 25 years and his dad still sends Patty flowers to work!

Doug and I got ready to go to dinner after I go finished with class. We both chose Pastabilities because it's my all time favorite and NEVER gets old. Doug had called earlier in the week to make reservations but I guess Valentine's Day is one of the only days they don't accept reservations. Weird. The gal told Doug that no matter when we arrived we would have about a 30 minute wait. We got to the restaurant at about 6:15 and were told we had an hour to an hour and a half wait. We both agreed we had nothing to do and Doug was craving lasagna... so we waited. After about 20 minutes of waiting, our name was called. The hostesses were not very good at predicting the wait time and lost some business due to the hour and a half prediction. I normally get spaghetti with meatballs and mushrooms or seafood lasagna, but I decided to try something new. I ordered the Pasta Carbonara and don't think I will ever order anything else at the restaurant again except for my delicious meal last night! We were back at my house by about 7:30... so much for our hour and a half wait for a table!

Today my grandma, grandpa, Aunt Deb, and possibly Jamie are coming over for a visit. My mom and I were going to make lunch but my dad says we should just go out to eat. I'm looking forward to visiting with all of them again. My grandpa and Deb came over to Alex's game not too long ago, but I haven't seen my grandma & Jamie since probably Christmas.

Fingers crossed that Doug hears good news from Masterbrand sometime this week. He felt his 2 hour and 15 minute interview went well and he couldn't do any better. I'm praying...
