chestnutcurlsThis is going to be a weird week.
I'm wanting to post about last year, and where I was when I heard, and those kinds of things, but I'm going to save them till Wednesday. But the state of the nation is constantly on my mind, as it must be on everybody's. I keep seeing patriotic baked goods at Kroger, and thinking, "Why are they still selling flag cakes after Labor Day?" and then it comes back to me for the millionth time. I had sort of felt that the 11th should be made a holiday, but this morning I read in someone's journal that the thought of some car salesman someday having a "Big Sept. 11th Sale" made her nauseous, and I have to agree.
On to cheerier topics. I had a busy weekend. Kathy's birthday party went off well. I spent most of it listening to Royce tell about his and MaryElaine's honeymoon, which might as well have been called National Lampoon's Hawaiian Honeymoon. (Just for starters, their "five-star" hotel room was actually a MASH-like tent on the beach. :)) Later, we went to the improv show. It was not that funny, except for one game in which the actors played Marco Polo while walking around in an area full of mousetraps. :)
On Saturday I bought my aforementioned scrapbooking supplies. I had a long phone conversation with Evan, after which I felt much better about life in general. :) Then he and Ryan and Jamie came over and we all ordered pizza and watched Nurse Betty.
Me: Morgan Freeman's in it. It can't be that bad.
Evan: Even the best actors have one bad movie. This could be his.
Ryan: Oh, come on. Schwarzenegger made 15 great movies in a row.
Evan: Yes, and then he made Last Action Hero.
Sunday morning Ryan and I went to another church to hear Luke and Myla sing a duet. Then I spent a happy afternoon sleeping, scrapbooking, and watching Friends, and then went to Sunday Night Fellowship. Then I talked online with a bunch of you guys. :)
Boy, this is so exciting. I'm going to blame it on the fact that I'm exhausted and my brain feels like pudding. Good night, all. :)
