After the meeting we moved everything over to On Tap at the Galleria and got ready to watch the Penn State vs. Iowa game. Unfortunately it was a disappointing one. Even with an A Class White Out and College Game day being on the scene our guys just didn't have it together. It was nice meeting other PSU people and finding out how they ended up in Alabama though. I left at half time and watched the rest of the game at home where I could yell at my television in private. Bettis was not too keen on the yelling and retreated to the office where he could return to his napping in peace.
Before everything Penn State I was running around all morning. UAB day started at 7am. This is where I set up a booth and talk to high school juniors and seniors about coming to UAB. Surprisingly enough there were more people there than usual and the students actually had questions about their potential dining options on campus. So not a complete waste of my morning. I made the mistake of dropping my stuff back at the office afterwards and got sucked into making 600 bagged lunches for the next hour. It was pouring down rain anyway so not like I could go to the farmers market as I had planned. It had let up enough that I stopped by and picked up the two climbing rose bushes I ordered last week on my way home though. I'm planning on planting them today. I also picked up some tulip bulbs at Lowes while making a return. But of course these are no regular tulips they are STEELERS THEMED TULIPS!! Well technically they aren't, they are called queen of the night and golden apledroon, but one is black and one is yellow so our garden will be Steeler black and gold come March! As long as the squirrels don't dig up and eat all my bulbs, which they do every year! I'm hoping the pecans coming in keep them occupied.
I also finally managed to find shoes for my dress for Rae's wedding this weekend and sparkly
hair pins. But alas I cannot go to DSW and only buy one pair of shoes. I did resist the $89 camel suede knee boots that in all honesty didn't fit quite right anyway. I did pick up a pair of mules! They are by Keen, made of all recycled materials, machine washable and purple! Did I mention there are super comfy too? I highly recommend them. Did come to find that my right foot it a little bigger then my left foot, but that's okay because I can stretch the tops out enough that they fit perfect. Best of all I did not feel guilty about this purchase because we covered need versus wants in my marketing class last week. According to my MBA Marketing professor all purchases are based on some type of need and have a purpose. So my need was for a pair of mules since we are moving into the Fall season and I can no longer wear my flip flops or my toes will get cold. Hence! Fulfilling a physical need. :) I'm really going to enjoy this class.
Today the sun finally came out of the hole it has been hiding in for weeks on end. Susie and I took the dogs walking at Crestwood park. They were ecstatic, seeing they hadn't been outside playing in at least a week with all the rain. My feet are now permanently pruned from my socks getting soaked. I'm going to spend the rest of the day taking it easy, planting my rose bushes and my Steeler tulips. I think Tina is going to come over to watch the Grey's Anatomy season premier that I DVR'd last week, hopefully I can talk her into Thai food for lunch. I call that a good day.
