Since we finished the second season of Lost within less than two weeks, it was time to look for something else, so Ricky bought a season of The Andy Griffith Show.  It is one of his favorite series, but I would never watch it with him because I thought it would be so lame.  I gave it a try, however, and I love it.  It is actually really funny; I love Gomer, and for some reason I feel very American when I watch this show!  We hope to watch some more of it and the latest Smallville season as we just signed up for Netflix. 

Other random happenings:

1. I just finished teaching A Midsummer Night's Dream in my Pre-AP and Pride and Prejudice in my AP class.  We will begin studying Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and Marlowe's Doctor Faustus next week.

2. We recently purchased our tickets to go to Germany this Christmas.  Since I didn't get to go this summer because of my thesis, I am extremely homesick and am suffering from German food withdrawals!

3. Speaking of food, I seem to have acquired a craving for eggrolls.  I have to have one almost every day as an after-school snack; they are soooo good!

4. I am 15 weeks along today.  Last week I switched doctors so I could have the baby at St. Francis instead of in Ruston, and my first appointment with the new doctor will be on Nov. 7.  I feel fine; I just seem to find myself in awkward stage of the pregnancy where I don't really look pregnant, yet my clothes just don't seem to fit right anymore.  We are getting more excited every day and started painting the baby room this week.  Since we don't want to find out the sex of the baby until the birth, we are trying to come up with something that will work for a boy or girl.  Stay tuned for updates!
