Gross! Peeps are just always yucky, I think!
Unfortunately, I don’t really have anything that exciting to post
about. Friday night we hung out with some friends from church
(pizza, salad, and I made an ice cream dessert). We ended up
having to watch the kids’ movie (Sky High) because the downstairs DVD
player broke, so we all sat around and watched a movie. It’s
actually not bad…definitely a kids movie, but with lots of humor to
keep the parents entertained. And a good moral ending, too…
Unfortunately, Eric’s back was bothering him again…but just a dull
ache. Then when we arrived at Tom & Vicki’s house, he was
mocking my tendency to explode into nonverbals (imagine intense, highly
frustrated shaking of fists in the air…but no noise) when I’m grading
particularly bad papers. In punishment for this, I think, he
actually hurt himself and started having sharp, shooting pains in his
back muscles. He spent Saturday in moderate pain (dulled by pain
reliever, ice packs, and Icy Hot…Trisha, do you remember brushing
your teeth with Icy Hot at my Grandma Campbell’s house a long time
ago?). Anyway, by Sunday, he was back to the dull ache again and
was much better. I wish I knew why his back keeps doing this…
Anyway, while he was sitting, I ran to Sam’s Club and cleaned my
house. But not the bathrooms. I saved that for another
day. Actually, I would’ve gotten to the bathrooms, but I suddenly
realized that I needed to make dinner (it was 6:30), and after dinner
we went to Home Depot to get Eric out of the house. We looked at
countertops and paint colors for our kitchen re-do (currently scheduled
for this summer sometime). Then we came home and went to
bed. Sunday was church, relaxing, doing “homework” for small
group, going to small group, little bit of flag-waving, then sleep!
Wow…guess I did have stuff to say…
It sounds like a fun weekend…at least the flag waving part! And I agree with Julie, you could have gone into much more detail!!
and you just went FAR, FAR past it, Julie!
At least you said, “little bit of..” That makes it sound more innocent. I think Kimberly should have approved. I mean you could have said, “We waved the flag until the neighbors started complaining!” or something like that. But you didn’t. You stayed above the line.
Who knew doing something so much fun could disappoint someone?!
*shakes head* Shannah, you’ve disappointed me…
I do remember the Icy Hot thing – though I try to forget it… thanks for bringing it up.
We also looked at countertop colors this weekend! It was a bit more annoying than I thought it would be, seeing as Kyle thinks he needs to have an opinion, but we ended up picking a color I really like, so I’m happy! Only a couple of more weeks till our kitchen remodel! (If you feel like you want some practice, feel free to come help with that!!)
