Time flies when you're having fun


Progress on the Robot Room

Time flies when you're having fun. Or when you're really busy. Fortunately for me, it's a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. Looking at my blog, maybe a bit too busy.. since I haven't taken the time to post lately.

Saw a few movies - Juno (pretty good, a few parts I would have preferred not seeing), and 27 Dresses (Girly, but a lot of fun). I'm hoping to see the Bucket List, National Treasure, and Jane sometime in the next while. There seem to be a lot more good movies out now than there were around Christmas!

Jeremie's mom and Grandma were here last weekend due to the death of our friend. They arrived here Friday on the Greyhound, and I drove them both ways on Saturday to go to the funeral - a 3 hour drive or so, a whole lot closer than it would have been from their home. It was good to see them again, even if the reason for having them here wasn't the most exciting.

Last weekend our friends Britt & Jer also had a baby girl, Jovi, and she's very cute. We got to see her at one day old - not nearly as ugly and wrinkly as I thought! Jeremie and I both took turns holding her, and she was adorable: all soft and warm and curled up in a small armful. Yay for babies.

I finally got around to writing a familial/friend Christmas letter (belated, of course) and sent it off yesterday, on the policy that late is better than never!

Youth Group has been enjoyable, as usual - 2 weeks ago was curling, and yesterday we had a formal night - at McDonald's. When our bus pulled up to good ol' Mickey D's, we found tablecloths and fine china! I had the honor of waitressing, and didn't do too bad if I do say so myself. Not that I'm considering a career in it or anything...

And after youth last night, we had a bunch of people over to play Rockband. We played for 4 hours, and it felt like two! Amazing. I like the drums best, though they're hardest, and tend to do best at the vocals part of things.

J is working today, so I stayed in bed most of the day and read a few books. Now I'm off to get started on cleaning off the robot room floor. Once it's all cleaned & prepped, we can go out to buy some epoxy and get the cement turned into pretty flooring! I'm looking forward to it. It doesn't feel like we've done that much on the room yet, but looking at the photo above I'd say we're doing alright. I think that J and I will both enjoy him having his own not-so-makeshift lair to build things and hobby in.

Ciao for now!
