Last night at Awana I told one of my girls that I liked her haircut and she said, "Thanks, I got it stacked just like yours!" I was flattered, even though she was wrong - mine isn't stacked and neither is hers. But whatever.

Awana - "Bring a Parent"

Last night was "Bring a Parent" night at Awana. We only ended up with one parent in my group, and she split her time between her 2 kids, so it wasn't really as bad as I was anticipating. There is a boy in Chad's group who is always the last kid to be picked up. Every week we sit with him and wait and we discuss how he will go home and tell his mother that we dismiss at 8:15, not 8:30 (as he previously told her). It never happens. So last night Chad wrote him a note to help him remember and pinned it to his t-shirt. We even helped him plan what he was going to say - he would start by calling a family meeting of all people who would ever have an opportunity to pick him up. Then he would say, "Attention, ATTENTION! Awanas gets out at 8:15! Katie and Chad are tired of sitting with me for 20 minutes every Wednesday night. Especially tonight, because they wanted to go home and watch Lost!" And as John was getting into the car to go home, we heard him yell, "Attention, ATTENTION!" So maybe she'll finally get the message this week?

I had an embarrassing moment at Chipotle today.

It went a little something like this:
Me: "Hi, can I have a salad to go, please?"
Nice Lady: "Where is your husband today!?"
Me: (caught off guard) "Um, he's not with me today."
NL: "He is your husband, yes?"
Me: "Yup"
NL: "Well, we sure are happy to have you guys as customers!"

That's right. Chad and I are at Chipotle so often that they are worried when we they see us alone. Was this embarrassing enough to cut back on my Chipotle eating? Of course not.

New Laptop, New Coach Bag

Tiny, Yes?

New laptop, Chad's laptop, my old laptop.






















Todd supervises all three laptops.

Would I rather use my tiny laptop than pick up the living room? Yes. Is it still that messy? No.




















My walls aren't swirly near the light switch, I had just wiped the cat prints off with a wet sponge.

I am so very busy today, but I just have to take a moment to tell you what my husband bought me - a tiny laptop! Like a regular laptop, except mini! Don't worry Josh, I'll post some pictures of it tonight! :-)
