Wake up and smell the coffee...

Well, first off I have to say sorry. I didn't post last Friday or Monday. I had an excuse for Fri., Mon. I was just lazy. :~) Fri. I spent all day at the hospital with my in-laws because my father-in-law was having heart surgery. They ended up putting two stints in, and kept him overnight.

Father's day weekend was uneventful. Saturday, Jamey and I ran errands and went shopping... at the GoodWill. At the GoodWill here they have a separate store for things that you basically pay nothing for. Jamey and I got quite a few items for under $3! Yeah, I like that part of it. After we were done with that, we watched movies and did nothing for the rest of the day. One of the two lazy Saturdays we will have before the big Reality TV Convention... :~) Oh, and in fact the people from CMT will be at the convention! Sooo... I might end up on TV along with Jamey. Yes, maybe my tv debut! Well, it might not be that spectacular, but you never know.

Sunday, we went to Jamey's parents for dinner. Jamey preached for his father because of the heart surgery. He does a really good job preaching. :~) Nothing big happened this day either... What can I say, we're kinda boring sometimes! :~P

Monday, however was not boring. We had invitations to go to Taylor's 4th birthday party! I had no idea what it would be like... I was in for a surprise! They had the party at Pump it Up. It was a party place with giant blow up slides, obstacle courses, and of course just ones you could jump in. I'm not sure who had the most fun at this party: the children or the adults, who for one night went back in time and were kids again... that is until after all the jumping and pummelling their battered and bruised bodies said "Enough, you old coot!" Ahh, the joys of wanting to be childlike again and your body rebelling with every fiber! :~) And yes, there was also sweat in large quantities...

After the romping, came the cake and gifts part of the party. Trust me, ALL the adults needed the sugar to keep them from dropping at this point. Jamey and I were one of the only couples there that didn't have kids... and it showed! We asked Taylor what she wanted for her birthday and went out and got it. At first, I thought it was a good idea. Then as all the other presents were opened, I became very aware that our gift of princess glitter and lip gloss might be frowned upon by the group of parents around us not to mention Taylor's parents. Oops! Mark it up to experience and move on.

The rest of the week up until yesterday went by uneventful. Yesterday Jamey and I got up at 6am (ok those of you who are in shock take deep breaths) to go walking. It helped get us up and it made getting ready to go to work for Jamey a lot less stressful and rushed. We plan on doing this everyday, except for weekends. We take about half an hour to walk, and hopefully by the end of the summer we will have something to show for it.

This morning after our walk, I wanted some coffee. So, I brewed some. As I was brewing the coffee I remembered the first time I made coffee like that, at McD's. I had the filter in my hand and was thinking "What is this and what do I do with it?" My coffee turned out a little weak, but I'll try again soon. It's not half bad with lots of sugar and a little milk in it. :~)

Tomorrow, I'm going to go out with some of the ladies at church that are around my age. One of them is having a birthday and they want to celebrate with mini-golf and dessert. Should be fun! :~)
