Well, although it is summer, we are both back to school. SB started teaching summer school this week and is enjoying it thus far - particularly the part where he gets done at 1:30 and goes for a 30-mile bike ride. The man is a biking machine. I wish that I had his will power when it comes to exercise.
I am also back to school this week - I started an eight-week online course (not credit-bearing) called Sustainability of Food Systems: A Global Life Cycle Perspective. You should have seen the joy with which I told SB "I have homework!" I was meant to be a student for life. My first reading was about the chemistry of foods - how all foods are essentially water, protein, carbohydrates and fats - and what happens chemically to foods when they are exposed to heat, etc. Interesting, but it definitely felt like a different language - I am no chemist. I also learned that many fruits and vegetables have higher water content than a glass of milk!
On the wedding front, the showers are over and the joint bachelor/ette party is this weekend. The showers were both a lot of fun, actually, and I took pleasure in writing so many thank you notes because I feel such gratitude for the generosity of our friends and family. We are now working to fit everything into our kitchen! My mom made us a quilt that is on our bed and gorgeous. I'll have to take a picture of it for the blog.
On the job front, I am going to apply for a position in this round of hires, but it is a writer/copyeditor position of which there are only 5 in the nation, and surely at least 100 people will apply. Probably more, actually. But hey, nothing to lose in trying.
