This week's wrap-up

Kind of a stinky week in some ways so I'm glad it's over. Instead of dwelling on the negative, I'm going to cover some of the positive things:

1. I had another class and passed the test I needed to pass. One more class to go then I schedule a simulation and then I'm done. What I'll get, you ask? Well, a fancy piece of paper that will make my resume look all pretty and smart.

2. The college kids are coming home! I served in YW for a long time so have a lot of very dear but much younger friends who truly light up my life. I was able to hang out with one of them on Friday night. We went to Target, Panera and then I had the best M&M cookie at the Cow Chip place. (By the way, I always thought I liked their chocolate chip cookies the best but truly, the M&M are the bomb.) Anyway, Friday was fabulous - love you Callie & Kim!!! xoxo

3. I bought a 2nd guitar for Guitar Hero at Target thinking that would be the lowest price around (for just the guitar since I already have the game.) Well guess what? Game Stop had the same exact guitar for $20 bucks cheaper. Yes, you read that right. TWENTY STINKIN BUCKS CHEAPER! Go Game Stop! That store will hereafter be my first, um, Stop, for my Wii purchases.

4. My niece Makenna turns four tomorrow but her party was yesterday. So to her, she's already four and don't even bother telling her her birthday is tomorrow either because it's not. ;) It was a very fun party. We did the old family favorite "drop clothespins in a jar while kneeling on a turned-around chair" game. I have such memories of playing that game with my own grandma at the party, many many years ago.

5. I had two camp meetings this week and yesterday's was with the 2nd YCLs (the girls who run camp.) We got some major things accomplished, which was the greatest. We have a fun new camp song written by some of the talented girls, made decorations for our Camp Kick-off next month AND we decided on our logo and t-shirt color. You'd think this would be easy but you try getting a room full of 16-17 year olds to come to a consensus.

6. I love my TiVo. I've had such a busy week but everything I want to watch is just there, patiently waiting for me to get to it. I did get to watch Grey's Anatomy (loved it, except for the icky roaches and guts stuff. Oh and I love Meredith, but loathe Izzy. In case you were wondering.) Survivor was another surprise. (Poor, gullible Jason. And I cannot stand the lying personal trainer girl with the bad eyebrows - I know they have to lie but she is reveling in her dishonesty. Hopefully it'll come back and bite her.) Oh and The Office! Ryan's a cokehead? Wonder how long before he loses his job and is back in Scranton, working in the Annex with Kelly? And why didn't Phyllis just call her husband Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration to come and get them out when they were all locked in at work? His warehouse is in the same office park, isn't it? That was such a big mistake by the writers. Unless I'm wrong and pay far too much attention to stuff on TV. And that certainly could not be the case.

7. I got to try a new cupcake from Trophy Cupcakes this week -- Chocolate Peanut Butter. Yum! Thank you, Kim for being the best delivery person ever!

8. Movies I've watched recently: I saw "Sydney White" last weekend. I was so pleasantly surprised by that movie! I thought it was very entertaining and cute. I went to the theater and saw "young at heart" with a work friend on Monday night. It was really good. (Yes, I know the title has an @ in it -- but I'm not savvy enough to make it work here.)

Gotta go do some stuff for Primary. L8R.
