Carbon Copy

Various and Sundry Items

Well, I've been a little busy what with starting school and teaching and stuff. That doesn't mean I haven't had time to have fun and take pictures. It just means I haven't had time to write about it on my blog. Until right now, that is. But of course, now everything is all disjointed, and I have to throw it all together into one of these miscellaneous types of entries. Sure, it's convenient, but it just doesn't have the narrative cohesion I try to maintain in my blog entries. (Can you tell I'm back in school? Time to whip out the academic vocab.)

That's enough of an intro. Let's get started with pictures.

Erica and I had to run some errands the other day. I took advantage of her presence to go to Good Will and drop off some bags of unwanted things. See, I have never dropped off anything at Good Will, and I wasn't really sure about the procedure. Stuff like that makes me nervous when I'm all alone, so the bags had been in my trunk for about three weeks. Anyway, we dropped off the bags and I noticed this sign:

If only they had a sign like this at the DI in Utah, some members of my family could've avoided some unpleasantness.

We also went to about five stores looking for a cute teacher tote since we are now teachers, but we couldn't find anything. Although, the sky upon leaving the stores was pretty.

Then we went to Wal-mart (don't judge me) so Erica could get a new TV. We were pretty tired at this point because we had also been car shopping.

On Sunday, I went to a church thing at the Low's again. I really go there just for the drive for the most part. (Socializing is ok, too.) As I was leaving, there was a fantastic sunset. I started to head towards home but ended up turning around and heading west instead.

Sometimes you're headed in one direction and it's beautiful but then you turn around and realize that it's just as beautiful.

I kept driving west until dark and then I turned around. I had to stop by Erica's to pick up some much-needed index cards for the first day of school. She lives by this bakery that I keep meaning to visit. Mostly, I just like the neon sign.

Anyway, the first couple days of school have gone well. I'm already sick of waking up at 6 a.m., but at least the drive to school is pretty. I get to see the sunrise and there is mist hanging over the cornfields. 'Tis lovely.
