is it Saturday yet?

I know, I know....not for a few days, kiddo. :) Just finished up a long, fun, exhausting weekend. Our friends Brent and Hannah got married on Saturday, and we were very involved in the execution of the wedding. Plus, our good friend Sonya came up from Texas for the wedding, so I stayed up later than I should wanting to spend as much time with Sonya as possible. The wedding went really well, and was very special and sweet and pretty. And I remembered what it is like to wear healed shoes all day :). So today...I think I'll put off cleaning my bathroom until tomorrow and take a nap. I've got four more early working days ahead of me, so I'm going to try and start the week off on a good note.

a few good movies

I've watched a couple of good movies recently (not in the theater, mind you, so some of ya'll out there have probably seen them already). One of the movies is Scoop. It has Scarlet Johansen, Hugh Jackman, and Woody Allen. It was a kind of whimsical murder mystery. Hugh Jackman and Scarlet Johansen were funny and witty and really good in there roles, and the movie was very entertaining without being over the top, which I appreciated. Only down side...Woody Allen's character grated on my nerves. Another recent movie that I enjoyed recently was Friends With Money; a contemplative drama with some light, funny moments thrown in. But not too contemplative, so not depressing. Basically it's just about life and relationships and making choices...but again, not too depressing. I feel like I've seen some other movies recently, but can't remember what they were (clearly they didn't stand out all that much).

Ta ta!

book sale

Today I went with Nicole and Jeanette to the public library's bi-annual book sale. As a friend of mine (who is a library volunteer) put it...it was like being in a candy store! Seriously, it was a good thing that I only brought a certain amount of money with me because I could have done some damage...and the books were cheap! $2 hard back, $1 trade paperback (those are the large-size paperbacks for anyone who isn't familiar), and $.50 mass market paperback and children's books. I spent $15.50 and came home with 12 books. Awesome!

M.I.A.

I know, I know...Patti will be harrassing me for not posting in months. :) The last couple of months can be summed up like this: baby shower, wedding shower, school, baby shower, lingerie shower, wedding planning, school, wedding shower. Oh, and little book reading, t.v. and movie watching (especially catching up on 6 seasons of Gilmore girls), and work thrown in. So, I've been having fun, but staying busy that's for sure.
Next week will be the last week of school for the semester; this week and next week I have A LOT of work to do. But the first semester has flown by with only one or two minor meltdowns. Like riding a bike; a tad cliche, but true. I can't take any classes this summer because of scheduling, but I'm looking forward to the fall semester, and I'm going to try and volunteer at our local library this summer for some experience; figure it can't hurt.
What else....
Here's a fun tidbit -- I think that I wrote a WHILE back about an exercise challenge that my friends and I entered in; basically we have to exercise 30 min. a day/5 days a week. For each day we don't exercise we put a dollar in a jar. (so if we only exercise 3 days we put $2 in, etc.). And of course, you get sick days. We started the first part of January, and so far there is only $8 in the jar. yay!

hope this weekend is one with plenty of joyful moments.
