It's Already Monday again!!

It is Monday once again. I swear, as soon as I realize it's the weekend, it is over. But this is a special Monday. Today is my last day of DevBio class. I really enjoyed it but waking up to get to class at 7:55 was beginning to take it's toll. I will miss my classmates. The worst part of the morning is that I was unanble to enjoy the reward which Brad (Dr. Yoder) brought in this morning-Dunkin' Donuts. I gave up sweets/junk food for Lent and boy, I must say it is a sacrifice because temptation is all around. I have cookies I bought before I went on the fast in the cupboard staring at me each time I open it up. I am however determined to see this through. I also just got my stash of Samoas (girl scout cookies) over the weekend but have to wait till after Lent to indulge. Last time I tried a fast from sweets I failed (blame tamarind balls). I have none this but will be getting some at the end of the fast [someone is coming up for a visit  :)].

In other news, my experiments are not doing what they should. Thankfully I'm in the initial inexpensive phases so I think I'm going to restart and hope it works out this time. Say a few prayers...they would be appreciated -if you have His ear.

S/N The gorgeous Dr. Hill Harper (of CSI fame) will be speaking here at the university tonight. I am not too far gone to appreciate his appearance  (from my couch) but I am way too tired to do much more so I will not be attending said lecture. I will however try to attend a lecture by the Surgeon General who is a UAB alum. She'll be here on Thursday. In addition, her lecture is during the day.

Anyway folks, I leave you with this verse from scripture which is what I need to hear myself:

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest"

Toodles,
Dee


So I just read that Hill and President Obama went to law school together (Harvard) and are close friends so maybe I should reconsider, since if I buy one of his books and he signs it and shakes my hand, I would be shaking a hand which shook the President's hand (recently too since he was at the White House recently- I follow him on twitter).That equals one degree of separation. Hmmm.
