Happy Family Day!
Hmm. and where is my family - let's see: Ashley is in Palm Springs. I've seen pictures on the "barn" website, and it looks warm and beautiful and Ashley was just hanging out in shorts and a tank top. Patrick, just arrived back in Victoria from a 5 day trip to Florida with the Sura's. I haven't had any details from him yet, as he and his friends were heading out for dinner and then he was finishing studying for a midterm tomorrow. Guess I'll get the low down sometime this week. Bill is sitting in the family room watching "G.I.Joe movie!" All I keep hearing is "this is a stupid movie", but he doesn't seem to be turning it off. I pop in there every now and then to see how much time is left in the movie. Maya is sitting on Bill's lap, and doing what she does best; relaxing. I decided to start another project - I'm not sure which one I'm going to give up for now; I'm back to my card making. I've decided this year, I'm giving cards as gifts; blank notes, thank you's etc. They're not the greatest, but if you consider the joy, enthusiasm and love I put into them, they don't seem too bad. I'm not sure why I make cards the same way I make friend rice, there is a mess everywhere - even when I do my best to keep everything contained.
Sunday was a nice relaxing day as well. I suggested to Bill we go watch the "monthly cheap" movie at Crowfoot, and without thinking he said, yes (sorry Shaunan, but I was pretty sure after church you would be bagged from working the night before.) So $10.00 for the movie (for 2), $5.69 for the popcorn (saved 10% with my scene card, and of course snuck my own water in) and watching "To Kill A Mockingbird" with my husband - Well $15.69 - you do the math. You thought I was going to say "priceless" didn't you. Thank goodness cellphone devices have to be turned off during the movie, otherwise who knows how long he would have been on his. Although I can't really complain too much; just as we were sitting down in our seats, my phone went off - so trying to manouver my seat, and the popcorn to grab my phone (which was on loud) probably gave some people more entertainment then they anticipated. Turns out it was Robin. When I told her where I was, she asked why my phone wasn't turned off!!!!! Really!!!
Had a nice phone call from Mom on Sunday as well. I haven't been over since Thursday. She sounded a little bored. I think the novelty is wearing off and she's running out of things to do. I'll try and dig up more pictures for her to look at. She does have access to a computer, and we tried looking at pictures the other day, but it is terribly slow and both our paitence tends to run out.
This week is a short week, but a busy one. This will be our first complete empty nester week... Hmmm I wonder how many "stupid" movies we'll end up watching.
Have a great week everyone.
