Has anyone else wondered...

Why a church affiliated school (Duke) has a mascot called the Blue Devils? I thought that was funny as Jared and I sat in Cameron Indoor Stadium last night.

We had a really good time at the Duke vs. Georgia Tech game last night. We got to Durham around 5 and walked around campus for a while. Then Brad came and picked us up and we went to dinner at the Macaroni Grill (my fave Italian!) and it was awesome. Then we went back to the game. It was my first Duke game and I have to say, it's pretty fun. The fan base is really absorbed in "school spirit". They really get into it and I love that. I can see how it would be quite intimidating for the other team. I would be intimidated. The Big House (in Michigan) is more intimidating, but Cameron is more fun.

The Duke basketball games fall below App football games for fun, but above App basketball games. I have a feeling in about 10 years App basketball games will be just as fun. The fan base isn't there right now, but it will be.

Anywho, I'm back to work now and I'm tired. Here are some pics from last night:

good gravy.

Howdy yall.
I'm having a much better week than last week.

So far, I have not injured myself in any way.
I have not accidentally charged my card with an $1100.00 charge that would put me $900.00 in the hole.
I have not had any tummy aches that would rival the plague.

So far, Jared's completely moved in (as of today).
I had a sweet ass time in Durham, NC visiting my best friend Brad.

I finally finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
I magically got out of having to work last night so I had time to get some cleaning done at my house.
I made it to and from Durham in 2 hours (each way), without going more than 7 over the speed limit.
Tonight I'm going to finish putting Jared's stuff away.
This weekend, my mom and I are flying to Florida to visit my grandfather!
My flickr friend Kari is going to be a mommy!!! Congratulate her!
Tomorrow night is a huge night as it is Carmen's Wedding night!

Things are only going to keep getting better from here.
