The Weekend That Was

Friday's activities which were including but not limited to going to the mall with my Mom, lunch with Mom and Kaylee and getting all wrapped up in an adventure to get my Vera Bradley Student Agenda.  Three stores and half a tank of gas later, I'm still agenda-less.  In the last store we went to the sales lady said "Well...we had those at the beginning of the year, it's too late for you to get one now."  To which I replied "Lady, it's JANUARY!"  So I guess I'm going to be ordering it online and forking over the $8 of shipping and handling.  But Vera's worth it.

Friday night since my dad, uncle, brother and bro in-law took a weekend trip to the beach, Momma, Bri, Kimberly, Kaylee and I had a sleep over and watched a movie accompanied with sweet tea and Bar-B-Q pizza.  If you don't live in NC and have never had Bar-B-Q pizza, oy, my heart breaks for you.

Saturday morning Kimberly and I headed to church super early for our Church Clean-Up Day!  We got so much done and I was SO proud of us.  Our Sunday School class has never looked better!  We moved tons of furniture, including an old, heavy piano out of our class, then we made ourselves busy cleaning out and cleaning up.

When I got home that afternoon I jumped in and stared cleaning my closet.  Later in the afternoon my aunt and uncle came by.  We had such a good time talking and just laughing.  Truth be told they were telling stories  about all my crazy relatives which always has me rolling.  Once my Momma got here she just took the story to another level and we spent a good while laughing hysterically and then I spent a while wondering if some of that cookiness may be genetic.  Saturday night was spent jumping up and down in excitement as my beloved Packers gave the smack down to the Falcons!  Next up, The Bears in the NFC Championship game.  My brother is a lifelong Bears fan sooooooo that game should be interesting.  I can't wait!

Sunday we had church, the children marveled at the new and improved Sunday School room, not really, they barely even noticed.  After church we had a luncheon for the Sunday School workers and then we started training in a new program our church is starting.  I'm really excited about it and think it's really going to help grow our church and help grow us all along the way.  After our yummy lunch and training I came home and finished cleaning out my closet while watching, you guessed it football.

Monday was pretty lazy, I did go back to school last Thursday and Monday was my second night back.  On the way to school I picked up my new rolling cart, so when I got home I put my cart together and decorated it.  After all most of the fun of getting a new cart is the decorating.

I owe the success of this project to the dose of Cinnamon Twist and Baja Blast that I picked up on my way home.  And my mother for the love of pink and rhinestones.  And my dad for the philips head screwdriver.
