This is a pretty fine week. :) The days race by, but a few things of note...
Had fun at the Youth game night Tuesday. They even did some Karoke with Primary Songs. It was very entertaining. And Liz's Bowling pins are always a hit. Wednesday Rachel and I went on a date to a movie. She has been wanting to see Spiderwick Chronicles, so that's what we did. She was very excited and only hid her head a few times. ;) Thursday I was able to get ready at my convenience and stroll into work at about 10. Lucky me! Usually I go in late on Mondays so that I don't get overtime, but not this week. It worked out fantastically, I think. hehe. Wednesday morning Rachel had made my favorite Sunshine Toast for breakfast, then on Thursday Dave made a Strawberry smoothie for breakfast. YUM! It was a fun day even though I had to work, as three friends stopped by and I had several phone calls. Even Dave stopped in with an incredible arrangement of roses. I meant to take a picture, but never had my camera with me. Maybe it'll still be lovely when I get back to work Monday and I can take one then. :)
That night Mom and Dad and John came over for dinner and banana splits. DE-licious! Poor Dave, he managed to even get the floor mopped while taking care of 5 kids. What a trooper.
And then Friday, after a long day of fasting, we went out to the best sushi I've had yet. (I think I say that almost every time, but this was especially yummy. THANKS M&D) Saturday was pretty low key. Maybe a little too low. But it was a nice rest. Fabulous week, no?

Tell Us Everything...

Everything. OK! I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out... But the worst thing I ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

Starting a new journal (or blog) when you don't really have one you're continuing from is quite overwhelming. It's always a where-to-begin kind of puzzle. So, I'll start with this week. I always tell Dave, "We go from here," and I think the advice applies to this endeavor.

This was a rough week. Sick people. Some at work, some at home. It really puts everyone behind. It means I'm behind already when the week hasn't even started. Thank heavens I haven't been one of the sick ones. ;) Wednesday was the first day Dave was hit hard by the flu. I worked all day, only to have church obligations after work. It gutted me that I couldn't stay home to relieve Dave. I was able to enjoy going to the temple with the youth though. I am glad I went. I needed the little lift it gave me that allowed me to stay sane through the rest of the crazy week.
And we go from here.
