So as I was saying a few days ago...
We finished at the Health Camp and went back to hang out at the Baylor dorms with some of Jordan's friends from high school. They discussed plans for game day and played FIFA 2008 and I sat back and revelled in the memorys of Quantum of Solace and the fact that I was with people who actually cared about having a fun time together (without the alcohol, profanity, and sex that most other college kids are wrapped up in).
Skipping ahead to game day...
It's 9 in the morning and everyone's cellphone alarms go off at exactly the same time (don't you love technology!) Jordan and one of his friends get up and go doownstairs to visit with Jordan's aunt & uncle while me and his other friend are still sleeping upstairs. At 10 am everyone's finally up and getting ready to eat breakfast and head out to tour the campus. I decide that I'll skip that since I've seen it before and around 11:30 I'm dropped off at the mall to wait for my mom to meet me. I give her a ring once I'm inside and she tells me to get a table at Olive Garden for lunch and she'll meet me there. I must say it was very refreshing to get to eat with my mom and spend the rest of the day shopping- we always did that with Nanny and my sister when I was younger so it was nice to remember the times when life was simpler.
Around 4 Mom dropped me off at the movie theater and I met my best friend from home to see Quantum of Solace for the second time! Once again, the movie was amazing! As soon as the movie credits start rolling Jordan calls me, but since I used most of my phone batteries on the internet while Mom was shopping in Tuesday Mornings it died right as I answered (of course!). Canyon and I spent the next 30 minutes walking the mall trying to find a kiosk that would let me charge the phone (no one had a model that would fit mine) so we drove to an Alltel store I remembered seeing earlier in the day and plugged in to one of their display models to make the call.
Here's the kicker....
My ride pretty much pulled in to a spot at the mall about 10 spaces down from where we were parked right as we were pulling out! After getting over our frustration we headed back to the mall, found the car, and I left with my friends to head back to College Station.
After seeing a small cafe on the way to Waco, the boys and I were determined to stop at it on our way back to sample the homemade pizza. After dozing in and out in the Corolla for an hour and a half we made it to Loretta's Cafe in the sprawling city of Calvert Texas (pop: 1500 est.). It was honestly the best pizza and home style fried chicken I've eaten in a long time! I just ordered a cherrie pie for Jordan's initiation present to be picked up on Saturday.
After eating we made it back to CS in about 30 minutes and everyone was dropped off and we shook hands, said our goodbyes and parted ways.
Later that night...
I went to a friends house and hung out for a while (till they decided to throw up a tent and "camp out" in 40 degree weather) and headed back home to start my Sunday off right- by sleeping till the butt-crack of noon! That Sunday was your standard Sunday- nothing much to report.
That's all for now folks!

Saturday was one of the greatest days for me too getting to spend some q-time with my handsome son. That's really interesting that you thought of Nanny while we were at Olive Garden -- I did, too, but didn't want to spoil such a sweet lunch by mentioning it. Bet that's a sign that she was there too in spirit...
Be sure to give details about your next great weekend (in Austin)!
