Ein Hundert Neun und Zwanzig (there ya go, there's your German for the day!)

The day today started off to a normal start, but I should have guessed something would be amiss as I woke up at all kinds of crazy hours throughout the night. Pat and I went to the Wellhealth Center, basically a gym for older people - they get their pulse taken every so often there during their workout, etc. So I'm the youngest one there, of course! We started talking to one of the gentleman there and he asked how old I was and was surprised when I told him. He said it was a good thing. Then he went on to inform me that I had my smile going for me - just like his late wife did. He got cards of regret and people said how they would remember her smile and laugh. I decided that this is one of the things I want to be remembered by as well!

Well, here is where the day starts to go downhill...we got home and I went to get my clean clothes and hop in the shower, when I saw a gazillion of ants crawling around all my clothes in my suitcase .... the trail continued into the closet and who knows where it started! Eeeeeekkkk...so Pat and I went on the adventure of de-anting my room, my clothes, my bag, even the quilt on my bed! We sprayed the room, turned on the fan...yuck. I felt so itchy during and after it all. And of course, the thought of little crawly ants in my clothes made me need to wash all my clothes (I was gonna do laundry anyways, just didn't realize it would be all the clothes I brought for this trip!). So that, in a nutshell (a somewhat larger one) is the craziness that happened to me today.

Now on to the 129th day of GST:
- clean and dried clothes after saying adios to the ants (Texas heat (104) works amazingly fast on wet clothes!)
- spending quite some time in a Christian bookstore and coming out with a few books plus some things for my classroom!! :)
- receiving a Christmas gift in July
- Casa Herrara with my Grandparents and Aunt Gaye and Uncle Kermitt
- a very sweet email from my bf ;)
