what i like right now. . . .

my newly acquired mr. bubbles beach towel to take on my trip with "the girls". isn't it cute!!!????

operation move-in

 after spending about an hour on the highway waiting to get to the RAC center to get keys, we finally made it to PJs dorm room to unload-we really didn't have much and am guessing that's a good thing?

 the kitchenette-not too bad-plenty of space-to the left of the counter is PJ's roommates bedroom-right across from the kitchenette is where the double sink/mirror is located and then the bathroom. PJ's room is next to the bathroom.

 PJ's dorm room-these rooms currently are 1 person per bedroom, but the beds are designed to convert to bunks if dorm space becomes scarce-clever-huh?

outside their room is a cute little welcome sign of sorts-right across from their room is a conference room-study area-nice that it's a room rather than an open space so that you could study without being disturbed-yes these are the only photos i got, and no-that was not my intention. however, PJ's loving GaSo so far-so that makes mom very happy indeed-so all's good.

birthday treats

 Andrew did a great job with the birthday cupcakes-even though he was just getting to them at 11:50 pm on friday. his deadline was noon on saturday-which he just barely made it. he used martha stewarts devil's food cupcakes and a frankenstein'd buttercream frosting with crushed strawberries flambee'd (with grand marnier)

isn't the strawberry cute-he was quite befuddled that we didn't have a fresh mint sping to use as garnish-and the cupcake would NOT be complete without something extra on top (aside from the candle!). they were yummy! thank you andrew!

getting ready.

feeling sad and glad at the same time-pj has almost everything he needs for his move down to statesboro next week. i'm so very proud of him.

"some" rain.

we have certainly had our share of rain this summer unlike summers past where we were praying for rain. this morning i awoke to thunder, lightening and lots of rain. in fact while driving down the interstate at o'dark thirty, i saw lightening that was sideways! i took this photo from my window, the "cloudiness" is actually rain being blown across the road. of course this means that the afternoon communte is going to be an absolute mess!
