This makes me laugh so much.
So so so much :-)

Weekends, I love the weekends!
In between some of the bigger happenings like kayaking Lake Bryan and a failed attempt at a half-marathon, were some really sweet times.
Like... grabbing supper from HEB and watching The Office at my office. Like, CC asking me to marry him (a second time) under the Century Tree. Like a sighting of first flower of spring at Lake Bryan. Like sushi and sandwiches overlooking the water. Like exploring the peninsula on the lake and getting attacked by ants (this means spring is coming!). Like introducing CC officially as my fiancé for the first, second and third times. Like sunburns and a "working date" at the coffee shop. Like how on the water, we decided to be a camping, biking, kayaking and hiking family. Like... like, well, the whole weekend was nice.
But, about that failed half-marathon... Want to hear a story of the Lord's protection? Neither one of us were taking this thing seriously. Chris was injured. I hadn't been running, but we decided to do it anyway. Not the smartest.
The run started at 7 a.m. at a park just down from my house. I was picked up and we were gone by 6:30 knowing we'd be there by 6:35. No worries, right? Wrong. All the entrances but one were blocked and we were rerouted to Hwy 6 to idle at the end of a line that stretched to the movie theater. Cars were also sitting on the highway's exit ramp trying to get over in our lane.
We were not moving.
When the race started we were actually a little farther away from the park than we would have been standing in my front yard. At that point, it was just too late.
So, we left the line and went on our own run... to Shipley's (hahahahahahahahahahaha) for a cup of coffee. Really, it was good that we didn't make the starting gun. What with CC's injury and my lack of training. The Lord knew how stupid we were being. Had we not been denied entry, we were totally about run 13.1 miles. So dumb.
Next time, run. We'll get you next time.
I sure like weekends.
They're fun. :-)

This weekend I:
* talked to Kat while driving
* was surprised by a bouquet of beautiful flowers
* ate super delicious C.C.-made tacos
* had a family sing-along to Grease
* packed mucho mucho Tupperware boxes in a multi-person attempt to move my parents from their house and into a RV
* made great friends with a label maker named Larry
* stacked boxes in truck beds
* stacked boxes in barn
* ate hot dogs, cake and pickles at a special 3-year-old boy's birthday party
* played Wahoo... and lost
* had fun at church
* bought an empty carton of sushi because I ate it while grocery shopping
* watched West Side Story
* partied at a Super Bowl gathering
* made yum pizza in the outdoor pizza oven
* talked about how yum the pizza was
* drove back to CS Monday morning with a fake house tree in my back seat
* drank coffee that C.C. brought over before my early-morning departure
* typed this list... and realized that... today is Monday... hence, the list of what I did this weekend has been compromised :-)
Oh well :-) :-) :-)

Mission- Complete first refashion
Inspiration-
found hereMeet my first project.
One that will most likely take me a couple months to finish as I have a way with knotting up the thread on my machine. :-)
Using a too-big-for-me shirt, can I snip and clip and sew my way into cute history?
I believe I can. Especially if I can win this fun contest! (http://fabulous-k.blogspot.com/2010/01/lisa-leonard-giveaway.html)
