Spent a lot of the weekend trying to stay warm. It was chilly, and snowy. Saturday we went to Caribou for coffee then did some shopping (Target, Radio Shack, Safeway). I had a nice 2 hour nap, and then yummy pork chops for dinner. Sunday spent the whole morning at church, and then cuddled up in bed with Honey. Tonight we’re having homemade pizza for dinner.

Exciting huh? Eh, can’t complain too much. I am going to Park Meadows mall with Jayla tomorrow, and Thursday I’ll have Mom To Mom again. My group has to bring snack, so I’m swinging by Krispy Kreme on the way there. I go by it every Thursday anyways, and the hot light is always on, so it makes sense. (I’ll eat some for you Athena!)

Last night we watched Walking Tall. It wasn’t awful. I didn’t expect much so I wasn’t disappointed. I would have liked to see more people get the business end of the 2×4, but it was pretty entertaining when that did happen. I got some episodes of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 out of the library, so hopefully we’ll have time to tackle that this week.

I’ll close with a quote from The Mummy Returns.

Rick: All right – you’re here, the bad guys are here, Evie’s been kidnapped – let me guess…
Ardeth Bey: Yes. Once again they removed the creature from his grave.
Jonathan: I don’t mean to point fingers, but isn’t it your job to make sure that doesn’t happen?

Brooke’s surgery went well, and she’s practically back to normal. It was a hard thing for Lisa to watch, but she’s a trooper. FYI, Brooke had to get tubes put in her ears to allow for the drums to be opened wider. The tubes will fall out on their own in the next 6-12 months.

I’m glad it all went smoothly Lisa. Love ya.

I’ll post my random ten and then we’ll go from there.

If You Could See – Tonic
Just – Radiohead
Confessions II – Usher
He Wasn’t Man Enough – Toni Braxton
Canned Heat – Jamiroquai
Jesus He Knows Me – Genesis
He Reigns – Newsboys
It Falls Apart – The Odds
Shy Guy – Diana King
All Things In Life – Toad The Wet Sprocket

Yay, it’s Friday. I guess. My weekends don’t always feel all that different from my weekdays. The problem is I want to get out on the weekends and away from home. Geoff, who has been away from home all week, doesn’t want to be out driving anymore. I’m hoping to find a compromise. I need to find someplace I want to drive to. After posting (and boasting) about our wonderful spring weather, it snowed! Gone are the 70 degree days. I don’t mind so much if it’s at least 50. Not knowing the conditions of the roads, I’m hesitant to drive up to Boulder Falls (the 36 scares me).

Brooke is having surgery this morning, so my mind is occupied with that. I know she’s gonna do fine, and I hope this will solve her health issues. Lisa is going to call me this afternoon and let me know how it goes.

Been looking into the Edmonton trip idea, and frankly I’m not sure the money is there. It wouldn’t be so bad, but the car rental is what kills ya. So we’ll visit the idea in a few months and go from there.

I’m going to close with a quote from Rushmore. Have a good weekend everybody.

Max Fischer: Maybe I’m spending too much of my time starting up clubs and putting on plays. I should probably be trying harder to score chicks.

Since I got a comment from Geoff about not posting a “real” post, I thought I’d try to come up with some stuff.

Things are good. I’m healthy, my weight is at a good level, I’m feeling good about life. Yeah, I had a bad day last week, but when I put my “problems” in perspective to those around me with bigger problems, it makes me feel blessed. Elijah is good, he’s a sweet little boy. Some moments he’s a handful, but overall he’s a good kid. Geoff is good, he’s busy, but he finds time to do little things for me to give me attention. I can’t complain much. I’ve got visitors coming in 2 weeks, and 2 different visitors in April. I have a vacation in June, and hopefully a trip to AB this summer to see my new nephew and my “niece” Stephanie. Life is great.

I’ve been watching a lot of tv, and I’d like to get my nose back into some books. Our trip to Nederland this weekend is off, no frozen dead guy this year, we’ll have to aim for next year. I’d still very much like to get out of town for the day, but I’ll have to check with Geoff and his running schedule. Maybe we could go to Boulder Falls, or Estes Park. It’s so spring-like here, we’ve got spring fever. I want to get out and see Colorado!

With the last of my iTunes money from Kelly, I bought Youth (Collective Soul) which was released a few years ago. It’s a fantastic album. The last album of theirs I bought was Discipline Breakdown, and I LOVED that album. Youth is very good, a few stand out tracks for me are Better Now (quickly becoming my new theme song), How Do You Love, There’s A Way, Home, and Feels Like (It Feels Alright).

Yes I watched the Oscars, and overall I was entertained. I thought Jon Stewart was pretty funny, and hands down Reese Witherspoon was the best dressed. I don’t know why Jessica Alba was getting all the attention. I don’t think she’s all that pretty, I don’t think she’s all that talented, and why was she there anyways? Obviously she has a good publicity agent. Geoff and I always fill out ballots for who we think will win, and Geoff won 13 to my 11 this year. Last year we tied. I didn’t count on Memoirs Of A Geisha winning so many technical awards.

It was a little like Joaquin Phoenix week for me last week, I watched Walk The Line, The Village, and Signs. Could’ve rounded it off with Gladiator if I had more time. 🙂

I’ll close with a quote from Signs.

Merrill: Morgan, this crop stuff is just about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend their whole lives. They’re like thirty now. They make up secret codes and analyze Greek mythology and make secret societies where other guys who never had girlfriends can join in. They do stupid crap like this to feel special. It’s a scam. Nerds were doin’ it twenty five years ago and new nerds are doing it again.

We love you very much. Life got so much better when you came along.

Thanks Amy’s boyfriend!

I was surprised by this result.

Sweet little Honey Cat is lucky we love her so much. The dentist bill was more than we anticipated, so it has been put on hold for a little while. We need to save some money up, and then we’ll go back and get it taken care of. But today she had the cleaning done.

Elijah had fun at MTM, I had an okay time. I mostly enjoyed the fellowship, and God Bless the person who brought powdered donut holes!

Last night we watched Walk The Line. It was good, I dug the music, and Reese Witherspoon was wonderful. I also really liked Ginnifer Goodwin’s performance. She’s a great actress, I loved her on Ed (the tv show), and Mona Lisa Smile.

Got the word, Kelly’s coming to CO in April. Whoo-hoo! April will be a busy month with Glen & Diane also coming for a visit, and Geoff going back out to CA for a conference. Ah but busy can be good.

Been trying to catch Deal Or No Deal this week, but things keep coming up at 7 preventing me to watching a whole episode. I’ll aim to catch the reruns on CNBC. House is back next week, and we caught up on the Scrubs episodes from a few weeks ago.

I’ll be tuning into the Oscars Sunday night, and rooting for Walk The Line. I’ll close with a quote from that.

Warden: Mr. Cash, please refrain from singing songs that would remind them that they’re in prison.
Johnny Cash: You think they forgot?
