Finally!!!

Well, I arrived at the Olive Garden in Jonesboro shortly after 4 p.m. last evening (yes they opened the doors at 4) and waited for an hour and 45 minutes to get a table and had an absolutely wonderful meal. I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants, but I always enjoy the Olive Garden and am delighted that I don't have to drive over an hour to eat at a location. The service was great, even though they were all nervous. The restaurant seems much smaller than other locations in which I have dined. I'm heading back in tomorrow night to celebrate my mother's birthday. Jesse actually asked me this evening if I wanted take-out tonight. That seemed a bit much to me.

If you haven't seen the Jonesboro Sun obituaries today (http://www.jonesborosun.com/obituaries.php) you should do so as you will find a bit of levity amongst the sadness. Both a Lucille Ball and a Betty Davis died.

School is back in full swing. The Red Wolf Recreational and Wellness Facility opened this afternoon and I honestly couldn't find the results of nearly $18 million worth of construction. Yes, it's nice, but not that nice and there are no swimming pools (a big argument for building the facility, after stating that the current pool facility was falling apart). Nevertheless, I'm actually thinking of taking spin class starting next week.

I'm off to do more school work. Just over 13 weeks until this semester is over and it's coming fast!
