With Sweet Tea and Pecan Pie...

Happy Pi Day!

For those of you who don't get the humor, today is 3/14. Pi is 3.14. Anyway.

I didn't sleep well last night-- a total of 2 hours, maybe. However, my big success of the evening was watching my first episode of Cupcake Wars. That's was a total win.

I struggled to get through the day. I kept zoning out and losing track of what I was doing. I was doing well to keep myself busy to stay away throughout the day. A campus visit today helped me out there-- I always love when my students and their parents come to campus.

Strewn throughout the day were a couple rehearsals that kept me busy past 6pm, which is an hour and a half later than I am usually at work. Mondays are my long days, so being this tired on a Monday is never a good thing. I was in a fairly good mood, despite my sleepiness, but I did get a bit short at times. I hate that.

So after rehearsal, I was walking back to my apartment, desperately forcing myself to put one foot in front of the other without falling over. I walked into the apartment to find Jessica cooking dinner-- another win. After changing into my pajamas, I made it back downstairs to make my dinner plate: pork chops, homemade cheesy potatoes, green beans and warm rolls. Then Jessica asks if I had looked on the kitchen table.

As I turned my focus, there sat a fresh-from-the-oven pecan pie! For those who don't know me very well, pecan pie is my absolute favorite dessert. When I asked her what the pie was for, she said, "It's in honor of you!" I have the best roommate ever.

That was my blessing for the day: pecan pie. It really is the small things in life.
