Cade and Dad game


Cade and Dad game

The past few weeks seem to have flown by. Here are the highlights from my calendar:

- Girls' Movie night at Jessica's. Britt, Joss, and Heather game too. We watched Stardust and chowed down on pizza, veggies, and brownies, and had a grand old time

- Dentist appointments. I had my teeth cleaned, which I love - my teeth always feel so smooth and amazing after. I had one cavity to fill, so I went back this morning to get the filling put in. They didn't need to use a rubber dam to block off my mouth, but just squished mouth-tampons on either side of my teeth to soak up anything that might go awry. I'm not sure if it was more or less comfortable than the old way of doing things. Either way my jaw is a bit sore from holding my mouth open for so long.

- My car is all spiffed up. I went in for a type C maintenance, which entails an oil change and tire pressure fixing, as well as break checks and who knows what else. My dear car drives a bit smoother now, which is lovely. I filled 'er up and washed 'er at the same time, so my car is now a dream on wheels. Fabulous.

- Hair cut. My hair was getting too shaggy for even the shaggy-cool factor, so I got a trim today. I'm not sure what I think yet, but it isn't amazing enough for me to go back to that hair dresser again.

- Hung out with Colleen. She has 3 kids and was babysitting 2 more. We had a good time and a good visit, but it was a bit of a nuthouse sometimes. I was glad to get back to the peace and quiet of just Cade. We're going for dinner there in a week or two. Sounds fun!

- Thanksgiving. Erika drove up for the weekend, since Chuck is off on a road trip with the guys. It was great to have her here, and she was a major help with turkey dinner. We even made pies for dessert. And home-made piecrust, which I haven't done often. Everyone can ooh and aah now!

- My birthday (the big two-nine, first time around). Erika was here for my birthday, which was fun. It was the birthday of books, since I got 3 JK Rowling books and 2 Stephenie Meyer books as presents. Not that I'm complaining - I love reading a good escapist novel. The birthday party is still to come, next week. Here we come, Survivor madness. Make sure you aren't voted off the island!

Anyway, dinner is ready and Cade needs a little lovin'. Ciao for now!
