Second first day

I did an insane amount of recipe research and gave Josh a shopping list for the dinner with his parents. Danielle made coq au vin with carrots, bacon mashed potatoes with chives, and asparagus. Dessert was strawberry ice cream. If becoming a science nerd doesn't work out for Dani she can definitely become a professional chef.

Dani needs some sort of fancy nerdy calculator but we all knew that was coming and I'm paying for half and she's paying for half. It is so nice to be prepared to have to pay a lot of money for something. Danielle was not prepared to be assigned the same locker as someone else. She told me she took one look at the guy, decided he was shady, and carried all her books around all day.

Josh was hysterical laughing at us sitting at the table covering Alex and Dani's books. He said his parents always had someone else do it and he'd never seen it done before. He could not get over this. Alex could not get over the fact that in college you don't have to cover your books. She wants to go to college for that fact alone.

Oh yeah, book covers. I still do it until now (love my books!!). So..... how's the big dinner? The food sounds fantastic. Hope the 'event' itself is even better than that. :)
