Evidence was caught back in February….

And yesterday….

Geoff has named him Mr. Bun Bun.

Decided to list ten random songs from soundtracks.

Beauty School Drop-Out – Frankie Avalon (Grease)
One Of These Things First – Nick Drake (Garden State)
Higher Ground – Red Hot Chili Peppers (Center Stage)
She Caught The Katy – Blues Brothers (Blues Brothers)
I’ve Got A Theory/Bunnies/If We’re Together – Cast Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer (Once More, With Feeling)
Lonely At The Top – Randy Newman (You’ve Got Mail)
Working In A Coal Mine – Windfred Louder Staff (Drew Carey Show)
Birth Ritual – Soundgarden (Singles)
Happy Birthday Lisa – Bart Simpson (Songs In The Key Of Springfield)
Haben Sie Geh̦rt Das Deutsche Band? РBrad Oscar (The Producers)

It’s an interesting collection.

It seems we have a lot to do this weekend, clean the house, go grocery shopping, do our taxes, couples group, and Geoff has to do a run on Sunday. Tuesday night the guests arrive, and depending on how the day goes, Geoff may go alone to the airport. It’s very up in the air right now.

Elijah has been whiny the last few days. I’m not sure if it’s the two new teeth coming in, if he’s getting sick, or what. Last night he went to bed at 7:15-7:30ish was up at 8:15 until 8:30 then up again at 10 and didn’t go to sleep until 12:30am. He wasn’t feverish, just really whiny. I may try using the tiniest amount of teething gel next time to see if that helps.

I had a wildly fun idea about spending some time in Victoria with my brother, but it isn’t going to work out. Everyday I’m wavering about will-I-or-won’t-I make it up to Edmonton this summer. If we have the money, I want to. I may even give up on the idea of being able to rent a car. It works out okay, most people I know there have a car so they can probably get to me (& Elijah). My grandpa hopes if we make it up there we can go out to the lake to see them, as that’s where they will be.

Last Friday night we watched Survivorman on the Science channel (it airs on OLN in Canada). He was trying to survive in Nunavut. It was pretty cool.

He apparently has done a ton of outdoorsy tv shows. It’s an interesting concept for a tv show, considering he films it all himself.

Elijah is napping, and that sounds like a wonderful idea to me. I’ll close with a quote from 10 Things I Hate About You.

Walter Stratford: Hello, Katarina. Make anybody cry today?
Kat Stratford: Sadly, no. But it’s only 4:30

Saint Patrick’s Day (March 17) is a Catholic feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (386-493), the patron saint of Ireland. It is a national holiday in the Republic of Ireland (but not Northern Ireland); the overseas territory of Montserrat; and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish people and increasingly by many of non-Irish descent. Like Christmas and Halloween (which originated as the eve of All Saint’s Day) it is increasingly celebrated in a non-religious manner, the celebration themed around all things green and Irish; both Christians and non-Christians celebrate the secular version of the holiday by wearing green, imbibing Irish food and drink, and/or attending parades. The largest parade in the world is held in New York City. Parades also take place in Dublin and in most other Irish towns and villages. Other large parades include those in Savannah, Georgia, Manchester, Montreal, and Boston. Large parades also take place in other places throughout Europe and the Americas, as well as Australia and Asia.

As well as being a celebration of Irish culture, Saint Patrick’s Day is a Christian festival celebrated in the Catholic Church, the Church of Ireland (among other churches in the Anglican Communion) and some other denominations. The day always falls in the season of Lent and sometimes during Holy Week. In church calendars (though rarely in secular ones) Saint Patrick’s Day is moved to the following Monday when it falls on a Sunday. If it falls in Holy Week, it is moved to the second Monday after Easter. It is traditional for those observing a lenten fast to break it for the duration of Saint Patrick’s Day.

In many parts of the U.S., Britain, and Australia, expatriate Irish, those of Irish descent, and ever-growing crowds of people with no Irish connections but who may proclaim themselves “Irish for a day” also celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, usually by drinking alcoholic beverages (lager dyed green, Irish beer such as Murphys, Smithwicks, Harp or Guinness, or Irish whiskey, Irish Coffee or Baileys Irish Cream) and by wearing at least one article of green-colored clothing.

This story is probably only funny to me, but it really made me laugh.

I was telling Geoff that I was up to 15 friends on myspace, and that one of my friends was Steven Page. And he said, yeah so, it would be more impressive if you were Jimmy Page’s friend. I replied, why would I want to be friends with someone who worships the occult? And in true Jesus-like fashion he says, that’s exactly who you should be friends with!

And he is right. That’s what Christians are supposed to do, love EVERYBODY. That was also the sermon on Sunday, to show kindness to everyone, not just people who are kind to you. And I felt like Pastor Jim was talking to me. Because I’m not always nice to everyone. In fact, when people are mean and hurtful to me, my response is to ignore them. To distance myself from them. Because why would I want to leave myself open to being attacked? So I’m going to pray on it, and ask God to help me love those who aren’t always nice to me.

Elijah has been really needy (and clumsy) the last week. It’s like turning one changed him. He seems to play fine by himself, then he realizes I’m not right beside him, and he wants to be held. One the positive side, his personality has always grown into him being quite the character. He’s so funny!

Yesterday I went out to Park Meadows mall with the girls (Nicole, Jayla and their girls). It was alright, the highlight for me was eating in the food court. I had a cheesesteak. Mmmm. It’s a nice mall, has a lot of the shops at Cherry Creek. Next time we go out there, I want to hit the store surrounding the mall, like REI, or The Great Outdoors. I want to look at camping stuff. I’m not sure how a group camping trip will work out, as Nicole is due to have her baby in July, and Jayla said Dave took a summer coaching job. It may end up being just us the Wyomingites. Which is cool by me. 🙂

Yesterday was also Meg & Mike’s 2nd Anniversary. Happy Anniversary! Has it really been two years? It feels like Mike has been with us forever.

It snowed all day Sunday, and it melted yesterday. We may get another small dose of snow next weekend. I don’t care, so long as it warms up by the time my mom & grandma get here on the 21st. My mom find a sitter for Fonzie (her kitten), and I think my grandma is thrilled at the idea of getting off the farm for a few days. This may be the start of a travel phase for her. Wouldn’t that be exciting? I was telling her the other day how I want to do a cruise of Alaska, and she was agreeing it would be nice. Grandma also told me Angela & Craig are in Costa Rica right now. Those two don’t let grass grow under their feet I guess.

In honor of it being sunny today (and a high of almost 50!), Elijah and I will walk up to Safeway and pick up a few things.

I’m gonna close with a quote from Miss Congeniality.

Kathy Morningside: Of course he had a gun. This is Texas! Everybody has a gun. My florist has a gun!
Stan Fields: I don’t own a gun. My ancestors were Quakers.

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?
