Just a few tidbits from our weekend:
* We got the new Wii on Friday night and I’ve really been enjoying playing the sports games that came on it. So much so that I’ve overdone it and I swear, my right arm and shoulder are incredibly sore! Too much tennis, bowling and baseball. I had no idea I could work up a sweat boxing against a computer, but I did. We went on Saturday evening and got another remote and nunchuk (gosh, they really get you there, the cost is high!), so we could play against each other. Needless to say, Tim is much better at this thing than I am 😀
* Half of the flowers that I bought at Lowe’s and planted a couple of weekends ago are already dead. I’m not a happy camper. I bought some more petunias at Walmart (I know, I should splurge and buy the expensive plants from the nursery, but I just can’t bring myself to do it) and replanted them on Saturday. Let’s hope they last longer than two weeks.
* We have two blooms on the “patio” tomato plant I bought and planted for Tim. I have no idea if we’ll actually get edible tomatoes out of it, but I am trying for him. Me, I won’t touch a tomato with a twenty foot pole.
* We ate out altogether too much over the weekend. We started on Thursday by having a friend over to watch Lost and ordering pizza, then we proceeded to eat out or pick up fast food on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday night. Blech – I feel like I’ve gained 10 pounds. It was all good though, and we went to Chili’s one night and got their chocolate molten lava cake for dessert. We both love those things 😀
* My new favorite thing to do on the grill is sweet potatoes! They are so incredibly good. I hope to go to the farmers market soon and get some, they’ve got to be cheaper than the ones in the grocery.
* They’ve started a new series at church, but I’m not looking forward to this one as much as the last ones. For one, they’re going to have several associate ministers on staff do the sermons on Sundays throughout the summer. I understand our preacher needs and deserves a break, but I don’t enjoy these other guys nearly as much as our pastor. That’s the main reason we’re going to this church, and I’m not getting as much out of these other guys. Sigh. Maybe I need to find a new devotional for the summer.
* Tim and I watched “To Kill a Mockingbird” over the weekend. We were both really surprised to find out neither of us had ever seen it. Good movie, and thank goodness for Netflix. Now that summer is here, there’s basically nothing on TV.
* I’ve started a new book I’m really enjoying. Will be back later in the week with a quote that I marked from it, and hopefully some quick blurbs on other books I’ve read in the last several weeks.
Have a great day! 😀
I LOVE grilled sweet potatoes! And next time I go to Chili’s I should skip dinner and just have the chocolate!
You might end up enjoying the series at church more than you thought if you stay open about it. and To Kill a Mockingbird is a GREAT movie! The book is awesome and I wish you’d read it too. 🙂
Sounds like a good busy w/end. Don’t feel bad about the food I was exactly the same!
Hi Stacy–
I have been absent from blogland this past week and thought I would get caught up over the weekend but a big house project arose and my time was spent with that–I hope to blog about that tonight with pictures! I also hope to visit my friends online–you have posted alot and I am looking forward to reading your other entries when I have time. I am on lunch break at work right now so am a bit rushed!
Happy Monday!
Kim
Oooh, grilled sweet potatoes sounds so good!
Glad you enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird! Still not as good as the book, but darn close!
See, now I disagree that there’s nothing good on TV in the summer. All the shows we watch come out new in the summer (The Closer, Rescue Me, Monk, Psych, etc.)
1. You GOT A WII….YEEESSSSS!!!!!!! I am so excited to see what it looks like on that tv.
2. I like that I am now referred to as “a friend” rather than through the common relationship property of which I am usually referred to (i.e. Elizabeth’s boyfriend). I feel loved.
3. I also love grilled sweet potatoes and had some baked ones last week at my grandparents house…very tasty.
4. I remember liking ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ but can’t remember all the details..I need to see the movie and I think it is in my queue.
See you guys soon, Enjoyed Lost and the pizza, thanks for the invite.
Oooh, you lucky girl! I’d love to get a Wii!!
And I love sweet potatoes but I’ve never grilled them!
GOod luck with your gardening. One year I planted petunias 3 times and they all died. Then I just realized that the bed was just too hot for them! I treat myself to one plant from the nice nursery every year and I get the rest at Lowes or someplace.
We ate out all during our vacation last week, and because my mom is here, I am overeating this week as well. I feel horrible, but I keep on eating! I hope your new flowers will work better than the other ones!
That first week, we limped around here like old people, because we were so sore from the Wii. Wonder what that Wii Fit would do to a person? 🙂
