A grand adventure!


“Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon”

Winnie the Pooh


It's Friday, it's Friday! This is the little song that I am singing in my head. You would think that Winnie the Pooh would have some "thoughty" comment to make about Fridays. I suppose that since he doesn't work outside the house or go to school, one day is pretty much the same as the next to him. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I am excited that it is Friday, though. I am looking forward to sleeping until 7 tomorrow. And to the piles of laundry that will swiftly disappear as I get the chance to do the wash. I am purposefully ignoring the fact that piles of laundry will appear in it's place. If I don't think about it, maybe it will go away. (Insert bucket of sand here. MJ.) Then there's the ironing. If you repeat the previous sentences and insert the word "ironing" everytime you see "laundry", you'll get the picture.

I also plan to sweep up the mounds of dog hair that have found their way to the far corners of the house. If I'm feeling particularly industrious, I might build a new dog out of the leftover hair. Not that I need another dog, but after four or five, who notices one more?

We are planning on going to see Prince Caspian Saturday afternoon. I loved the first Narnia movie and am really looking forward to this one. Plus, we so seldom go to movies (mainly because I don't like to sit in a theater. Yes, I know I'm odd. Count that as numbers 76 and 77 on my 100things.) Anyhow, I will let you know what I think of it. Unless we don't go. Then you can tell me what you think of it. (There is a possibility that we will spend Saturday on the "Great Car Hunt")

There is a new restaurant opening down the street from where I work and they have graciously invited us to be their guinea pigs. So we will be trying out the Mongolian Grill at 7 that evening. I know it's a late dinner but I told Josh that we would be the second to the last group they will be cooking for so they should have the whole process down perfectly. The whole setup looks really cool. I will be interested to see how it goes since The Boy is the pickiest eater known to mankind. And they serve vegetables. Gasp! Perhaps we'll finally discover one he likes! Maybe I'll take pictures. It might be a media worthy event.

So, how about you? What are you planning on doing this weekend? If you don't have plans, you could always drop by my house and help with the laundry. I'd even fix you a chocolate poptart and a big red!

Sounds like a fun weekend!

Our weekend looks like this: tonight my husband comes home from a business trip(yay!) tomorrow, S has baseball practice and K has her final Show Choir show, and Sunday we have no plans other than church. I love it when we have a free day with no activities!

Have a great weekend!

I'm loving Friday, too, this day, and Pooh is so wise. Narnia is one of my favorites, so enjoy the movie, and Mongolian food. J. will like it because he can choose his own veggies I think, if it is the style I am familiar with. Hope you have a joyous weekend filled with the blessings of productivity and pleasure! Love, Annette

I was just talking to my hair dresser about the reasons we don't have a dog right now. She couldn't believe a vet wouldn't have a dog... I love Golden Retrievers. I know what you mean about the hair! Our weekend will be pretty low keyed. We are going to help our good friends who are having a garage sale before they move. I'll help you with your laundry if you help me wash windows!
Have a good one!
Love,
Angie xoxo
