The hot light...

Early last week, Tony had an assignment for his Marketing class in which he had to discuss Dunkin Donuts. He studied out their website and watched several of their commercials. Then last night, we watched "Undercover Boss" with my parents; at one point, the CEO of 7Eleven went undercover in their large bakery in which they make all their own pastries, fresh every day. We decided it was time to satisfy our week-long craving for some hot glazed covered doughnuts!! So tonight after dinner, Tony and I packed up the laptop and one of his school books and went to our local Krispy Kreme. We sat inside for nearly 3 hours snacking on yummy doughnuts, sipping on coffee, and collecting information for one of Tony's papers that are due this week. Sweet time of togetherness. Pun intended!!

It's a process...

That's what Tony just said regarding his Philosophy paper.
Numerous hours writing.
Finally the wording is just right.
Excitement enters in because it's almost finished,
which means it's almost bed time.
But wait, not yet.
Add another hour to proof read, set it up in APA formatting, make a title page, etc.
Another whole hour.
Oh the anticipation to shut off the lights and crawl in the bed.
But not just yet.
Double check everything.
Add some more time to e-mail it to the teacher,
and submit to turnitin.com,
and upload it to google.docs.
I agree, a process it is.
But very rewarding when it's all said and done.

1:15am - the process is complete.
Now it's time to drink some sleeptime tea,
to hopefully counteract the coffee we had earlier.

A Good Night

Marketing, Philosophy, and Integrated Art has been keeping us up well past midnight on a daily basis. We know it is most healthy to get at least 8 hours of sleep... but that seems impossible during this season of our life. He has three weeks left of these classes, then he's dropping back down to 2 classes. It will be nice! There we are on one of those late, late nights. :)

On that same night, we recieved 7 inches of fluffy snow and enjoyed midnight snow cream.

Last night we took a much needed break from all things "work related" -- It was a good, good night!! Absolutely amazing time spent with my bestest friend ~ dinner at Murphy's, coffee at Starbucks, people watching at the mall, very tasty wine, a movie with popcorn and intermissions of dancing and fresh from the oven chocolate chip cookies. Lovely time of togetherness and tears of pure joy and gratefulness for the grace God has extended to us. Magical!!
