This picture really has nothing to do with anything today, but I like it! It shows the 2 big hotels in downtown Grand Rapids: the Amway Grand on the left and the J.W. Marriott on the right. Both are lovely hotels with great restaurants! You might notice they both also have wonderful views of the Grand River.
So I spent much of the day working on my dissertation. I am now working on the final numbers for the actual draft of chapter 4. I got about half way through today and plan on spending time on it Monday and Tuesday as well. Clay and I took a break mid-afternoon to see "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor." I liked it a lot. The whole family went to see "Tropic Thunder" a few days ago and I liked that as well - irreverent humor, but funny! I will say I liked "The Mummy" better though. Clay and I have been keeping up with doing "Wii Fit." I like my Wii Fit age - it gives you an age based on your real age and your fitness level == it makes me about 10 to 15 years younger (depends on the day)!! Can't argue with those results! Harrison and I have also continued to lift weights 3x a week. Ladies, want a way to GAIN weight? This is it! Ha ha. The last thing I need is any more weight (I was shocked to find out that 1 more pound and I get an "obese" BMI) - but lifting has put several more pounds on me. I keep reminding myself it will pay off in the end and I do like feeling stronger - I really hate the more pounds though. Walking has been a challenge as the mold levels outdoors have been so high (mold is my worst allergy so my asthma kicks in big time). I went a little over a mile this morning then gave up on it.
We had dinner with friends Mary and Bob this weekend which was a BLAST! It was GREAT to see them; we enjoy their company so much. I was stunned to find out a few weeks ago, when checking my fall class rosters, that I have Mary and Bob's oldest son in a class! He's still in high school, but will have dual enrollment. THAT will be fun and weird at the same time.
