This turned in to a movie watching kind of weekend. That rarely happens.

First: Kong. I mentioned this in my last post.

Second: Mission Impossible Rogue Nation. That was with Tom Cruise. I've never seen any of the other mission impossible movies, but this seemed to just drag on forever. I played around on my phone for most of it.

Third: Planet of ( Read more... )

This morning we met up with a group from our Sunday class and handed out water and Popsicles in the park, along with an invitation to the Greg Laurie Harvest America event that is coming to Phoenix in a couple weeks.  It was fun.  We met some nice people and also got to visit with each other, which is hard to find time to do sometimes.

I got a ( Read more... )

Today has been a long day! We left our house at 4 and drove the 4 hours up to my parents old house. Helped them scrub and clean and scrub more and clean more so they can get the place listed and hopefully sell it. They've been renting it out for the last several years but since they've recently purchased another house and my mom has a good job ( Read more... )

Happy Easter!  We went to church this morning  (as usual) and then had a relaxing day at home.  The song selection this morning was excellent and I even teared up,  which is rare for me.

At home we relaxed and did a lot of little nothings,  which I feel like we really need to do more sometimes. Two of us took a short nap, we watched part of a movie ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is a bake auction at church. It is something we do every year because it helps the kids raise money to go to a camp during the summer. This is the first year my son is old enough to go, which also means he will help at the auction.  I asked him what he wanted me to make for it. He chose blueberry crunch bars. It's basically a Blueberry ( Read more... )

I've been keeping up with picking weeds in the rocks in our yard,  but today they have really turned on me. The weeds growing now are different than the ones from a few weeks ago.  These are fighting back with thousands of stickers jabbing me from the stalk when I pick them.  I didn't even notice until I had grabbed a handful. Ouch.  Now I have to ( Read more... )

I recently ordered two leather luggage tags with my husband's initials engraved for him as a gift for our upcoming 3rd anniversary,  the leather anniversary.  They came in today and I'm really happy with how they turned out. They are simple but they look nice.

My tooth spot has been sore the last couple of days but this evening I think it is ( Read more... )

The tooth I was talking about earlier in the week had to be pulled yesterday.  There wasn't enough good tooth left to build a new crown over. I was very sad about it, because I try so hard and still the dental problems come.  In addition to that, I was terrified that I would have another problem with clotting like I did a few years ago. I don't ( Read more... )

This week has been a little bit of a drag. I had been having a little bit of tooth pain over the past month or two, off and on.  So I went to the dentist a week or two ago. He said he thought the tooth needed a root canal but not urgently. I scheduled an appointment for Wednesday for that.  While he was drilling in, he discovered that the problem ( Read more... )

I went out front tonight to do a little yard work. I was chatting with my neighbor, who came over to introduce herself.  I wasn't paying much attention to the ground and some ants crawled up my pants legs and bit me about 5 times.  That stinks because usually I react to them, so probably tomorrow I'll have some large knots on my legs.   Ants are no ( Read more... )
