Football season has started with the Lions 1-0.  This makes me happy.  There were a lot of good games yesterday.

 I also introduced desert_sdwndr to the "Football on your Phone" commercial by the Manning boys.  Good times.

 The actual nomination planning post is up in yuletide, so I'm going to read that tomorrow.  No time today because I slept too late (due to not being able to fall asleep, grrr)

 First week of class with assignments turned in, so we will see how the grading went.  A little nervous.  One, since it's Women's Studies, they want APA format and that gives me a headache.  Even using the Purdue OWL site, it's still painful.  Chicago/Turabian may be complicated, but I a) am used to it and b) have citation types saved.  However, definitely enjoying the conversations in class.

 Also: has anyone seen any Dungeons and Dragons (Cartoon) icons about anywhere on LJ?  I need one.

For some reason, on my husband's computer, I couldn't stay logged in on LiveJournal, so time to play catch-up.

Saturday : Fly to Atlanta and see husband for first time in, oh, three months. Joyful reunion ensues. Good dinner, huge hotel room.

Sunday : My *first ever* real professional football game, in the Georgia Dome. Finding parking and/or a working ATM was lots of fun. We had excellent seats, courtesy of one of the guys I work with - amidst many diehard Falcons fans. I stood out just a little bit in my Detroit jersey. Our seatmates were quite hospitable, and the Lions won! Pretty sweet, although of course I missed the big interception because I was in the bathroom. After the game, we managed to find a good restaurant and then headed back to Augusta, where husband is actually stationed.

Monday : Day off, sleep in. We explored the entertainment options in Augusta (mainly shopping) and got to watch most of Monday Night Football before going to bed. (Sorry, Jenn, it's got to be rough on you children up there in Frozen Tundra Land. But hey, he can't play *forever*.)

Today, went to a retirement ceremony for a good friend of ours (only fourteen more years to go) and have to go in early so I can slay the dragon in its den... I mean, talk to the reenlisment folks. Yes, I'm so crazy I want to do this Army thing some more. Hopefully with the husband. :)
