NEED TO BLOG MORE

I really need to blog more. I noticed that in the last two weeks or so, I've only been posting once a week. If I want to keep an on-line journal of my life, I need to write more about my life!

How about a weekend wrap-up. My brother does those every weekend. I think I've done a couple. Let me see if I can remember how this weekend went.

On Friday night, Mandy and Christy thought they would come over to scrapbook. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate, and they didn't make it. Since Dwane was driving the taxi, that left me home alone with the boys. Nascar qualifying got rained out, so I didn't even have that to watch. I think I watched "Gone Country" on CMT (which isn't as good as I hoped it would be--at least not so far). I remember that Eben and I started to watch the game show "Amnesia", but I didn't stay awake much past 9:30. (When Dwane drives the taxi, Caleb sleeps with me in the bed, and Eben sleeps on the floor of my room--it's like a slumber party.)

Hmmm. Saturday morning. What did we do? I think we went into town. Yes. That's right. We did a couple of errands, and we ate lunch at Amato's. I had spaghetti & meatballs, which came with a free pazzo bread. Eben and I shared it, and we were both overly stuffed when we got done. I took a quicky nap in the afternoon while Dwane was out on the snowmobile for a bit. There was a "Love Comes Softly" marathon on the Hallmark Channel, and I actually sat and watched movies for most of the afternoon and evening. Those of you who know me best know that I very, very rarely make it through a movie without falling asleep, and I made it through 3 full movies, and half of another one. I love those movies!

Dwane got home at 3:00 AM, and as he fell into bed he said "I'm in pretty rough shape." After a taxi shift, drivers are expected to wash the cars. As it was so cold outside, the water from the car washing froze. Dwane had fallen on the ice. I asked Dwane if he had filled out an accident report, but he said that didn't. He told me that he thought he had bruised a couple of ribs and through his back out a bit. He fell asleep quite quickly, and I was left wondering how hurt he really was. He didn't go to the ER, and didn't fill out an accident report, so I wasn't sure. I am much more pain tolerant than he is, so sometimes it is hard to know. Anyway, he didn't make it to church, and when I got home from church, I saw that he had a huge bruise from his armpit to his him. It was swollen some, and it looked like those kinds of scrapes when you've fallen on the rocks at the beach. We watched all of the rain delay activity for the NASCAR California race (Amy--I'm so glad for you that you decided to go to Vegas instead of California) and then headed to church. Church was awesome. Bob Bellows preached about abortion. We went to McD's after church for a quick supper. I think I went to bed shortly after we got home. I had intended to watch the Oscars to see all the pretty gowns, but I didn't stay awake long enough to see but one award. Thus, the end of my weekend was upon me.

Today, I drove Dwane to work and hung out at Wal-Mart while he was at the Samoset. (He just had to be there for an hour or so.) At Wal-Mart I bought one of those giant Rubbermaid tubs to put Caleb's birthday toys in so they wouldn't litter the living room anymore. I also found Book 3 in the series I am reading, "Return" by Karen Kingsbury. I've got about 100 pages left in Book 2, and I really should be in bed right now reading those pages. I didn't have any luck getting the other book I am looking for, "Really Bad Girls of the Bible" by Liz Curtis Higgs. I did go to the Bible Bookstore in Rockland, but they didn't have. Wal-Mart doesn't have it. Bookland doesn't have it. Sam's Club doesn't have it. I guess I'm just going to have to order it. I'm "scheduled" to finish "Bad Girls of the Bible" on Saturday, so I really need to get it orderd. (I've already read "Slightly Bad Girls of the Bible"--I've really enjoyed this series.) Someone once asked me if I was to compare myself to any one woman in the Bible, who would it be, and last week in "Bad Girls of the Bible", I read about King David's wife, Michal (prounced Mee' kal with a soft "k" sound). I actually see some similarities between her and me. Not totally, but in parts. You can read about Michal in I Samuel, Chapters 18 & 19 & 25, and II Samuel Chapters 3 & 6, if you're interested.

Well, there. Now I've written a book. Aren't you lucky!! I think I'm now off to read some more in "Remember". Dwane's playing on the Playstation, so there's not a whole lot of sense to sit up. (Eben has an 8:00 bedtime, and Caleb's at Nana's tonight.)

Good night. Smile. Hug. Kiss. I love you all!
