I had a lovely weekend. My small group got together for a spaghetti dinner Friday night and watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I love that movie. And my small group. We should do that more often. And next time, we'll pick an even girlier movie, since the men are grossly outnumbered! (Insert evil laugh here.) I'd say we should find a really sappy one, but we might be hard pressed to find one they haven't already seen. Bahahahaha (Sorry, guys. Love ya! Mean it!)
Saturday I went to a cookout at my cousin's house. I want to move in with her. Really...I don't need more than a closet. I don't even really want to move into her house. Just her backyard. Think lush grass, emerald trees, pond. It may not work, though. I'd have to fight her for the paddle boat. She spends hours away from the world, floating on the pond with a book and a cold drink. I'm definitely jealous. But you know what I learned on Sunday? When you're avoiding laundry, a wicker patio set and a fenced suburban backyard works just as well.
Before I escaped into my own little world, I had dinner with my mom, my brothers and my sister in law. I really can't wait until my sister can be with us on these occasions again.
Okay, I love my kids and my mom and spending the day with them was awesome, but one of the coolest things that happened followed a strange phone number on my cell, snapping me back from the World of Kindle. A little voice I thought was Catie said "You don't know who this is, do you?"
The girl identified herself as Catie's BFF (Catie was at church), who was calling just to tell me Happy Mother's Day. "And tell Catie I said goodnight and I'll see her tomorrow. Bye, Mommy!"
'Cause I'm her second Mama, she says. Hey, I'll take it. :)
So glad you had a good weekend - especially Mother's Day! I will be thinking on the next movie...(-;
