A Good Weekend

Had a fun day with Mom and Munchkin yesterday. Mom called and said she had some "holes" in her cool weather wardrobe and she needed to do a little shopping. Well, color me happy and count me in.

So, we went shopping, we ate a really great meal at the new restaraunt in town and we had a really nice day.

Last night, Munchkin and I went to see Barrage at the CAC and it was fun. I wish they'd played more of the world music that they advertise on their website but, apparently, that was at the second show. The music they played was excellent, just not as varied as I would have enjoyed. I wonder if they set the playlist to be deliberately more palatable to a younger crowd. Unfortunate. I don't think the selections, although played well and very entertaining, stretched the imaginations of anybody there.

Today was a church day and it was great - as always. I really like this new church. The preaching is really solid without resorting to shock value - just to prove he can be edgy. He's doing a sermon series on the book of James and it's pretty edgy all by its little self. Today was about the tongue and how our words can evicerate those we claim to love if we cannot tame it. It was a really powerful sermon.

This afternoon, we laid around all lazy, like cats. Then, after a little nap, we played around in the house - Munchkin drawing pictures and writing notes while I just sat by, watching her creative little mind. We made more cookies - most of which, I'm sure, we'll give away again. There's just no way we'll ever eat 3 dozen cookies.

Have I mentioned that I have just completely gone nuts over the show, "So You Think You Can Dance?" Well, I have. I've watched the 2nd and 3rd seasons and I just LOVE the dancing! I know, I'm a complete geek. Yes, I know.

I'm going to bed. Well, actually, I'm doing laundry and am going to sit in a hot bath until I can't keep my eyes open.

'night, folks!

Her Name is Betty

I bought a new car! I meant to tell you all about it but, as usual, the rush of life and all.... WEll, here she is. Her name is Betty - isn't she pretty? She's a 2006 Dodge Caravan,

Never thought I'd be excited about a minivan but, let me tell you - those are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in and it has a DVD player for Munchkin. You can even plug in the playstation for family trips. Yahoo!


I' put my Temple Wildcat sticker on the back right away and it's really kind of endeared me to some of the folks in the office. The day I brought her to work I went over to the athletic office and got my new sticker.


Well, I'm excited. It's my first (mostly) new car since ... well, it's been a while.

Things are hectic and crazy as ever but at least I'm riding around in mommy-style. *grin*
