Ok, so the reason for the last post is because this has been a topic of debate for a few of us around here. What is that thing you wear on your head in the wintertime to stay warm called? Well, apparently in the South it is known as a "toboggan"...at first I just thought this was a "Bekah-ism" from east TN...however, as I asked more people, I found that it is truly a phenomenon of the south! No one from the South replied...but had they, I'm sure we would have seen that one. Though I have grown up calling it a stocking cap or something of that nature, I think I am now going to adopt "touque". It's just kind of fun...and to me, a toboggan is still a sled. :)

As for the leaving on a jet plane...I get to get on a plane early in the morning and fly home for the weekend. My dear friend, Missy, is getting married to a wonderful man, Joe. So I get to take part in the festivities...and see my family and another good friend who is on furlough from Senegal...good thing for long layovers in which to catch up on studying!! :)
