6 Things about me:
1. It really irritates me when my husband goes to bed before I do. Now I don’t have a problem going to bed before him, but I hate going to bed after him. Strange, huh?
2. I have green eyes, but one has a brown spot in it. DH calls it my “evil eye.”
3. I’m allergic to bananas.
4. I won’t eat at buffets (Ryan’s, Golden Corral, etc.)
5. I have a scar on the palm of my left hand where I slipped and fell on a piece of broken salad bowl at O’Charley’s when I worked there.
6. I secretly enjoy watching fishing shows.

Tumbleweeds
Tumbleweeds are just blowing past this week, aren’t they?
Brady’s been a bit under the weather for the past few days. He had a small fever Monday night, but was fine by Tuesday morning so I sent him on to school. They called us around 4:40pm to come get him and then DH stayed home with him yesterday. He was running a small fever and complaining that his mouth hurt. His fever broke during the night last night and he seems fine this morning, so I think DH is going to take him to school in a couple of hours. Thankfully he’s really good about trading off when Brady’s sick, so neither of us gets stuck taking off every time. With two working parents, there has to be give and take.
That’s been the majority of our week. Today I’m meeting a couple of friends for lunch at PF Changs. I don’t think we have anything planned tonight or tomorrow night. There is housework to catch up on and various things like that.
Have a great day! Hopefully I’ll have something exciting (in a good way) to write about soon!

Movie Reviews and Celebrity Status
So we went and saw Leatherheads on Saturday night. If you liked O Brother Where Art Thou, then you will love Leatherheads. The same type of humor and even a lot of the same actors. George Clooney was quite the looker, as usual, and Renee Zwelleger was even slightly tolerable. Jim from the Office was great as “The Bullet.” You don’t even have to like football to enjoy this movie!
Right now it’s absolutely gorgeous outside. Bright sunshine and a slight breeze. A thousand times better than all the rain from last week, even though we desperately need the rain. I ran over to register for school during lunch, but the wait was 4 hours. Yes, I said 4 hours. So I’m going to go back later this week when the rush has died down.
On a different note, I got an email today from an old high school classmate. He found me on one of those alumni websites and apparently I was the “Featured Alumni!” I always wanted to be famous, but this was not quite what I had in mind!
I hope you all are having a fabulous Monday!

Happy, Happy Friday!
Happy, Happy Friday!
Despite the cold, gray, miserable weather we’re having around here, I’m so excited it’s Friday!
We have a busy weekend planned. Aren’t they all busy these days? Tonight I’ve got to do a little grocery shopping after dinner (which is to be determined) and then we’ll just hang out at home with Brady.
Tomorrow DH is supposed to have softball practice at 9am, but I have a feeling it’s going to get rained out again. Oh well. There are still a couple of weeks until their season starts. The local library is starting a new weekend story time in the morning, so I’m going to take Brady to that and then to get his hair cut. He’s getting shaggy! I need to run to Walmart at some point and finish up the grocery shopping. I have a total love/hate relationship with Wally-World. I love the low prices, but I hate going there! Then I get my hair cut in the afternoon and tomorrow night we have Date Night! We’re going to do dinner and then go see:
Leatherheads!

Sunday is a big day at church. Our potential new pastor is going to speak and then we’ll vote on him right afterwards. It seems like we should at least have the afternoon to think and pray about it, but they decided to vote immediately.
I may run out and do a little shopping on Sunday afternoon. Even though the weather doesn’t say Spring, the calendar definitely does!
What are your weekend plans??

Birthday Wishes
On a happier note than yesterday's post, my birthday is coming up later this month! I firmly believe in Birthday Weeks. Plus, my anniversary is three days after my birthday, so I really get to celebrate. Here are a few things on my birthday wish list this year:
New Shoes!
A New Bible!
The Vera Bradley Zip-Around Wallet in Raspberry Fizz
I wonder what I'll get!

Hopes and Dreams
It’s been gray and raining here since Saturday and it’s really beginning to get to me. I need a little sunshine!
Between the rain and other things going on in our lives right now, I’ve felt rather down and out the last few days. We had thought we were really making progress on some things and now it seems nothing has happened. I was able to make it home last night before I had my complete meltdown. Poor Dh just stood in the kitchen and looked at me.
I did some crying and some yelling and then I did some praying. A lot of praying. In fact, I’m still praying. And I feel better. We’re refocused on our goal and determined to see certain dreams come true. It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen.
The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Thy faithfulness!
"The Lord is my portion", says my soul
"Therefore I have hope in HIM".
Lamentations 3:22-24
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD, "plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11
