Weekend? Busy. Fun. Tiring.
By Moriah on September 15th, 2008
Just a quick weekend update. My friend Jenny called me Friday afternoon for another spontaneous movie night. We watched “What Happens in Vegas,” which I’d already seen but I’m always up for free movies. It’s a fun one. El flicko chicko.
(No, I don’t speak Spanish. I don’t know if that’s grammatically correct.)
(Don’t care.)
Saturday morning Andy took Drew and Madeline to the mall to get himself some new running shoes at Rack Room (BOGO1/2off) because he’s running a marathon at the end of the month. Try to wrap your head around that one. And then he also let them run around in the play area and eat Chick-Fil-A.
I got to vacuum underneath my couch cushions so clearly life is fair.
I called my sisters to see if they wanted to run some errands that night, and they did (I knew they could be counted on for shopping and food). We went to Target and they needed to go to the party store for a Mexican-themed dorm event. (FUN!) Then we had fast food for dinner and stopped in at Walmart on the way home for rice milk and bananas. We had a fun time together, as usual.
Sunday we went to church and then had lunch plans with a friend. The kids got to do a little swimming, and then we all came home for marathon naps. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had that good of a nap.
While we were fixing supper, my cousin called and wanted us to come up to Aunt Collyn’s for popcorn. (That may or may not mean anything to you.) We gobbled down our food, ran out the door – in the rain – and drove on up to her house.
Other than trying to contain the kids and keep them from breaking anything, we had a really nice time hanging out with the college crowd and singing hymns. Actually, Andy sang while I chased three unnamed kids.
(Hey, shout out to Jeannette, I finally met your sister Luisa!)
After we were home and had the kids in bed, we popped “Daniel Deronda” into the dvd player and I may or may not have dozed a little to that. That’s another good movie I’d recommend, along the lines of “North & South,” “Wives & Daughters,” and the Jane Austen movies.

Oh fun! Yep, she’s around.
Waah! popcorn!!
i was thinking about Sunday popcorn all day yesterday
North and South is one of my all-time favorites. Wish we could have joined you at Aunt Collyn’s – Dib, that’s fun Luisa’s at Covenant!
“Aunt Collyn” Okay, so does that mean that you’re somehow related to that huge swath of the American populace called the Belzes? I know many Belzes, and I’ll have to work you into that family tree :)
Which reminds me again…how long has it been since I made Belz’s Bash?
Girl, when you start saying things like “fixing supper”, I know you’ve become a Southerner.
