Hey ladies!! Today has been pretty good. I went to my ladies group this morning and got to hang with Andrea and little Walter for a bit. That was fun. I need to bug her about hanging out here again but I know she is just swamped between school, kids, husband deploying again, etc. Plus her scrapping leans more towards altered art so I think she hangs at Deviant a bit these days since she does some CTing over there. But it was great to see her and the little one, plus a little fellowship is always nice. Yesterday I took the kids to see Soul Surfer...it was a great movie and the kids loved it. Tonight we are making wings and having people over. The guys won't listen to me that wings are better if you fry them and then bake them for a little bit to get the stuff all thick and yummy on it. Stupid boys. Nobody wanted to talk to me about anything so I have had one heck of a time planning for it. But I have made a few things now and am pretty ready. I made a bean dip...it is kind of a bean pico kind of a dip. I love it and so does Derek and I made a ton of it so they better eat a bunch of it because I love it and want to eat all of it but am containing myself because of the dieting thing. I feel like tomorrow I will have to not eat to make up for today...not that I would actually not eat (I love food) but just eating a lot today. It is the same feeling after Thanksgiving and Christmas where you feel like you had you fill of food for a week.
So that is my world today. No big Father's Day plans. Ethan really wants to get Derek a bible for Father's Day but it hasn't happened yet. I am a horrible mommy for Father's Day. Hopefully Derek will get back with the car soon and Ethan and I can go figure something out before anyone arrives.
Laurie - Enjoy speaker shopping. That sounds fun to have in the basement. Sounds like that flood was just what you guys needed to get your basement the way you wanted.

Have fun getting your butt whipped by the new instructor. I hope you learn something great!!
LindaS - I am so glad you attended a great funeral. I love it when it is a celebration of life and not just a big sob fest. A mix of the two is great too. When a friend of mine died a few years ago the memorial was super sad, although they did a lot about his life but after we went to his house and had a big bonfire with friends and memories. I'm glad you had the time to share memories together. Congrats to your nephew!! How cool!! Have fun appliance shopping. That scares the crap out of me.
Chris - I wish I lived closer. I would come over, plug in a chick flick and clean up your house while we watched, chatted and you just rested. Are you regular sick or Lyme sick or a mix of the two? I hate it when you feel so yucky since I know you feel yucky as your regular so feeling yucky is just Crap!! I'll send some prayers and happy healthy thoughts your way.
Trudy - sounds like besides the working you have a fabulous weekend planned. It is a weekend I would enjoy anyway. Enjoy your no cooking weekend. I'm about to make some mac'n'cheese.
Kristy - so glad your bday party is indoors and out of the rain. Enjoy your weekend.
