Update

Hi everyone, it has been a little busy since getting back. Ended up not scrapbooking but taking Hannah to the "beach" where there is a little lake in our county. Nothing super impressive, but it's the closest thing to a beach in the area. That was on Tuesday. Lots of work on Wednesday and again today. Yesterday was pretty uneventful as far as anything exciting, but I did have to run Hannah to the doctor for a shot for middle school and then spent the rest of the day running errands.

So, I wanted to let everyone know that my neighbor in FL had her baby on Tuesday at 5:15, a cutie too. A little girl named Lily. She was able to go home and everything is fine, so thank you for your prayers.

Hannah is REALLY excited about middle school and is in the process of making an altered clipboard to put a count down calendar on. She can barely stand it. Even though it is nice to have some down time, she is missing her friends and is bored.

She got another mention in the Light the Night newsletter for her fundraising efforts. The walk is coming up next month. More about that later.

The other day, Keith, Hannah and I went to lunch at Cheddars. My favorite thing is the vegetable plate. It comes with a salad or soup. Well, I decided to go with the potato soup on this particular day. When it arrived, I was stirring it around to melt the little bit of cheese they had sprinkled on top and I felt my spoon scrape something. I stirred some more and hit it again. I saw something dark and thought it was maybe a spot on a potato, fished it out and there was a hard nugget. Then I thought maybe it was a bone from some chicken stock or something. No, it was a ROCK! There was a rock in my soup. How the heck...? I've heard of stone soup before, but that was really unexpected. The manager said it must have been in one of the potatoes and fell in when the machine was dicing things up. It was bizarre all the same.

Finished reading Wicked and LOVED it. I was expecting a warped fairy tale or perhaps the Wizard of Oz as told by the Wicked Witch of the West, but it was surprisingly a little bit of a tragedy, political commentary, religious statement, and social awareness novel (did you know that green people were discriminated against?). There were parts that were hysterical and parts that were a little heavy handed, but overall, I truly enjoyed it. Started on Breaking Dawn. Not too sure about it yet. I'm about 100 pages in and so far, well, I will keep my mouth shut since it hasn't been on the shelves long.
