A List on MY Friday

Yes, today is my Friday. And it's wonderful. The day has gone by kind of slowly, but I don't have to be here tomorrow OR Friday, so really...I'm ok with it. Plus, I'm in our card room for probably close to the remainder of the day. Sigh...sometimes work is good.

Anyway, here's the list:
  1. DO NOT eat the Flatbread Melts from Arby's. They are HORRIBLE for you. If any of you know what the points values are like in Weight Watchers, one of them is 14 POINTS. Ugh...and I ate one yesterday without knowing. Not smart.
  2. However, if you do happen to go to 5 Points Grill in Southside, their grilled quesadilla is AWESOME. Probably not all that good for you, but still REALLY good.
  3. My good buddy Hannah and I went to Sips N' Strokes last night. It was SO much fun! Except for the adult-turned-highschoolers sitting behind us. Oh well. We painted a picture called "Circles", and Paul and I plan on hanging mine up in our new office (once it's finished, that is). Mine doesn't look much like the picture, really, but I wanted you all to have a point of reference.
  4. Project stupiddress is in full swing - I lost two pounds last week, and I can tell I've lost some inches. Pray to the Lord Almighty that this thing fits me tomorrow when I go for my fitting. And also pray that I keep this up even after the dress is over and done with.
  5. I'm still kinda shocked that my little brother is getting married. He's not really little, per se, and he's only two years younger than me. He's actually a year older than I was when I got married. I don't know...I guess it's just the culmination of the last 5.5 years that's just so...awe-inspiring. Kari is already a part of our family in all aspects, but this makes it official. I guess this is how people felt when Paul and I got married. I know I'll probably be balling on Sunday just like Jim was balling a couple years ago... ;)
  6. I'm not looking forward to leaving my house by 5:15 AM tomorrow morning. I'm yawning just thinking about it.
  7. We're so going to miss being at church on Sunday! A bunch of people were out this past week, and I wanted to make fun of the burns on the beach ladies...lol... But seriously, I really wish we could be in two places at once.
  8. We saw Prince Caspian on Sunday - it was so good. Up to par with the first movie, actually. I really need to read the books...maybe that would be good plane reading. They're just sitting on one of our bookcases, staring at me...
  9. So as much as my mind has been on Project stupiddress as of late, I'm also really excited because we're having a huge yard sale at the house on June 7th. We have a ton of stuff to sell, so I'm hoping to make some extra cash. Mama needs a new rug for the new office! Our neighbors (and some of the bestest friends ever) will be helping us - Chris will be making homemade cookies, so come on out to H-town!
  10. Paul said something so cheesy yesterday, but it's so true - he said that he loves how when he falls deeper in love with Jesus, he falls deeper in love with me, and visa versa. I think that's such an awesome thought...it definitely puts marriage into perspective, and gives me an even better (if still minute) understanding of what the Marriage is going to be like...
  11. Dude...I can't tell you how excited I am that the women's ministry at SHC is almost up and running! Shana did an amazing job on our bookmarks (PROPS!) and I can't wait to see who my "Barnabas Buddy" will be. LOL...we definitely need to change the name...

OK...I guess that's enough for now. I should be doing work...eh, whatever... Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day!!!

FYI...I'm doing weight watchers too. It's going pretty slow but has potential.

Props to Paul on #10.
And I can't wait to help with the yard sale - so much fun!

So I have to say that I love you... you and Paul are some of my favorite peeps ever. I'm praying for you and the stupid dress. Really hoping it goes well. You'll be beautiful even if the dress is the color of watermelon.
