There's nothing like a box of Velveeta Shells and Cheese!

Happy Sunday, well happy almost over Sunday. Since I have been out of class for the summer, life has seemed so much more relaxing. There is no stress from what assignments I have due. And somehow I am at peace with my schoolwork right now. Most of you know that I am graduating in July. After I write the dreaded 60 page exit paper. My topic: Does eliminating the SAT as a college admissions requirement increase minority and lower-income enrollment? Sounds like a blast to read right? Well my prospectus (10 page paper outlining the topic) is due tomorrow and I turned it in on Thursday. So for now it is a wait and see game of what feedback I have from my exit chair before I jump into draft one. Until then, I get to enjoy my Sundays.
Today, I took a break from taking my grandmother to church, and despite going to my own church, I slept in. You could say, my body needed it. But honestly I do need to return to Oak Hill. Ever since grandaddy passed away last year, I pretty much take my grandmother to her church every Sunday. JT and I have really only been to Oak Hill probably 5 times since we got married. We need to work on that.
Anyhow, we ate lunch at my grandmothers still and it was positively delicious! Roast, creamed potatoes, green beans, gravy and yeast rolls. YUMO! And for dessert, a lemon meringue pie!
Later, I went to my parents and laid out in the sun for a couple of hours. Then I came home and have been snuggling in the bed with the hubs since then. JT and I hardly ever get to spend QT together and amazingly this weekend has been packed with it. It makes me realize how much I love and miss him!
I awoke from a nap and made a box of mac and cheese and decided man, is their anything better than a box of mac and cheese, or homemade mac and cheese. In fact, when I lived in NYC, there was a restaurant called S'Mac in the East Village. They have all kinds of flavored mac and cheese and they serve it in different sized cast-iron skillets. It totally reminded me of the south. Their website is http://www.smacnyc.com/ if you're every in NYC check them out!
