Bless Your Heart

friday night

i collected morgan & nelson and we went to my other sister’s (sara) house for dinner and a movie. husband was working until midnight yet again. =( we watched some america’s funniest videos first while we had dinner then sat down to watch i am sam. let me just say that i’ve never been a huge sean penn fan. he’s a great actor, i’ve just never been over the moon about him. he did an amazing job as sam. totally believable. it’s a good thing i never saw this movie in the theater as i was a blubbering fool crying buckets. it was so sad because you know they want you to want the daughter back with him, but part of you knows she might be better off if she lived with a family of “normal” capabilities. too bad a family couldn’t adopt both of them.

saturday

husband and i went to lunch at monterrey mexican restaurant, then we went on a mini shopping spree at best buy . i got amelie on dvd, the amelie soundtrack, and norah jones. so excited! both cd’s are so good. perfect for making dinner to. which i did later on when sara and morgan came over to watch amelie. morgan is so cute- she said to me about the dinner i made “shanny, this is so good! you should cook for hotels!” well, i had just made some chicken with rice & tomatoes, nothing special- but it was tasty=). sara says “yeah, a hotel really needs some new minute rice dishes!”

sunday

we were so productive i can hardly stand it! got up and cleaned the house while husband took care of the yard. then we headed out to run some errands. the biggest thing was we bought a new washer & dryer at sears . i am sooo excited! laundry has been a nightmare at my house since we moved. the washer got all mucked up and the balancer is off so i literally have to sit on it during each spin cycle. and our plumbing is old and a wreck so i have to manually drain the washer for each load or the water goes all over the floor. the plumber is coming thursday so this weekend i’ll be all set. i can’t believe i’m excited about laundry.
