Random Thoughts

I just feel like blogging, so for all of you who are bored and want something to read...here ya go.

I got my hair cut on Thursday and I really like it. Nothing drastic, but it sits right above my shoulders. I think it makes me look a bit older. I can't decide if that is a good thing or not.

Friday on my way out the door to work, I decided to unload the dishwasher real quick. Well, that is when I experienced my Friday the 13th moment. When I was putting the bowls away, the shelf fell out and all my bowls crashed to the floor. I just stood there and watched it happen. Then I cried. Then I called James. He told me to just go to work and he would take care of it. And guess what, when I got home from work there were no signs of glass anywhere. He came home on his lunch break to clean it up. Man, I love him.

James and I went out on Friday night to Bucca di Beppo for dinner. It was so, so, so good and worth the hour+ wait. We thought we would outsmart everyone else and go out the day before Valentine's Day, it didn't work. If you go, please order the Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken. If you don't know about Bucca, some see me and I'll take you just so I can order that again. It was heavenly.

Saturday I had my first "teacher class". I was expecting maybe 50 people to be there, just add another zero and that's how many really showed. I sat next to a guy a few years older than myself who is a structural engineer. He was layed off in September and has decided he has to make some kind of decision on a new career. Hearing his story made my heart ache for all the people around me who are experiencing real hardships due to the economy. It caused me to come home and thank James for all his hard work and fall on my knees and thank the Lord that we have not been directly hit by this mess. I know that could change any day. I pray that it doesn't.

Last night James decided we should attempt to face the crowds for some Mexican food. You know what? It wasn't crowded at all. Interesting how that worked. After stuffing ourselves with The Valentine's Day special, we came home and layed on the couch the rest of the night. It was wonderful.

Today, we went to church, had our weekly breakfast at Corner Bakery and then headed to Lowe's to ask about what to do with our kitchen cabinets. All I have thought since Friday is that Riley could have been at my feet when it happened. I would have been devastated and that absolutely can not happen.

They fixed me up with some new bigger, stronger pegs and assured me all will be well now. I changed them all out and feel much more confident that it won't happen again. We also got a quick visit from cousin Tyler today.

I'm off tomorrow, but will be keeping my favorite boy (other than James, he is actually a man).
Now I'm off to read some of Twilight. I started it this week thanks to Lacey and others encouragement to do so. I'm not sold on it yet, but I'm sure it's going to happen. Gnite my friends.
