Officially

It's officially been a long time since I blogged.

It's officially Fall.
(Are you suppose to capitalize seasons?? I feel like it needs to be done.)

It's officially 90 degrees outside in Memphis at the moment.
(Which sort of makes Fall slightly less fallish)

I officially had my first student with me this week.
(I officially don't think I'm a very good teacher. This will get better over time. I hope.)

One week ago tomorrow, I passed my Registration Exam for Dietitians at 9:45am.
OFFICIALLY

I can now sign my name Mary Renfroe, RD.

It's felt like I lost about 50 pounds of stress this week. I have watched way too much TV. I tried to enjoy a glass of wine Monday night but realized I still do not own a wine opener.
(Don't worry -- that problem has finally been solved.)
I am getting a massage tomorrow morning as my gift to myself.

Lately I have started attending Bellevue Baptist Church. It's right up the road from my apartment. I'm going to sing in the choir for the Christmas music. Excited about this. I haven't sung in a choir since high school and I realize I really miss it.
The people there are so kind. And let me tell ya, there are a lot of people there.

(I'm currently watching FRIENDS on DVD. It's the episode where Phoebe and Chandler go to pick out an engagement ring for Monica, and Phoebe tries on all the jewelry and then wants to hold the musket. I'm laughing.)

I have this inkling to go to Hobby Lobby and buy a whole bunch of Fall decorations.
I kind of love pumpkins and leaves.

As a housewarming gift, my parents gave me a piece of Tom Jones pottery.
An original Jack-o'-lantern.
He makes 200 every year in a different color.
This year they were maroon!!
Her name is Jackie.
Isn't she pretty??
Can you find the "M" for Mary??


Love and miss
