I decided to write a quick post tonight so that I don’t spend the little time I have planning for classes in the morning on Xanga!  Of course, I’ll still check it to post comments, so this might not help me at all, but we’ll see!

The weekend was mostly uneventful.  Eric and I ran up to the mall on Friday night to buy a gc for Deb for her birthday.  We were home just after 6:00 and I made tacos for dinner which we watched during the replay of Eureka at 7:00 on Sci-Fi Channel.  Eric’s computer had “lost” his schedule of shows to record, so he didn’t get it on Tuesday when it was first on. 

Saturday, we did some running around in the morning.  We went to Tractor Supply Company, a boot store, Dick’s Sporting Goods (where we bought Eric some hiking boots), and MicroCenter…all before noon!  Then home for Eric to play with his new computer toy, which he did while I cleaned the house (swept the kitchen floor, vacuumed, cleaned all of the bathrooms – even the mirrors!).  Then we watched the first half of the OSU game, left at halftime for Cedarville, watched the rest of the game while Mom finished making Deb’s birthday dinner, then spent the evening on the party. 

This morning we got up for church, and after we got home, Eric started packing for his camping trip.  His brothers came around 1:00 to pick him up, and after loading his stuff, they headed to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan to go camping until Thursday.  Yuck!  So I’m on my own…trying to keep myself occupied so that I don’t notice as much that he’s gone. 

This afternoon, after he left, I made a taco dip, cleaned up the kitchen, read the newspaper, did the crossword, went for a walk, made cookies, got small group stuff ready, ate a light supper, went to small group, and came home.  Eric called me on my way home so I talked to him for a short bit…he’s not a good phone talker (especially in a hotel room where his brothers are watching tv…they start camping tomorrow), so we didn’t chat for very long. But now it’s after 10:00 and I’m going to head for bed soon.  So that’s one night down, 3 to go!
