Then the Darkness Gobbled Up the Moon

Being married to G is like being married to the Nat Geo Channel.

There are lots of some times when I get snarky about his nerdiness scientific interests, but the truth is that without him I would never know of anything that ever happens in outer space and I would be stuck with a crappy phone camera because I never would have paid for a DSLR. I wouldn't know about the Mars mission or the International Space Station or tonight's total eclipse of a super moon.

A super moon occurred tonight; the moon looked a lot larger because it was like 31,000 miles closer (than usual) to us. And the eclipse occurred because the Earth got between the sun and the moon. We have now reached the extent of my knowledge. At about 7:00, I threw down my Virgina Woolf book, we hopped in the Jeep and made a Sonic run. We then careened all over the immediate area until we found a deserted office park to camp out in for a couple of hours.

I slurped my diet cherry limeade while G read various statistics from NASA's website and then tore off the roof of his Jeep so he could climb on top and take pictures.

So, you know, a typical Sunday night around here.

The rest of the weekend was a combination of productivity and regular rounds of napping. The busy week? It takes all the energy out of this introvert. Not joking. I had so much grading to do (for my class and the grading job) that instead of taking one 3-hr nap today, I broke it up into three 1-hr naps. I have mad math skillz.

Other happenings:

Chopped about 3.5 inches off and dyed hair darker brown

New dec of the season

7-layer dip for the Hogs/A&M game. Almost won.

What Lucy does while I grade

Ok, these papers aren't going to grade themselves. Here's to another busy week.

It's almost October! Can you believe it?
