I grew up helping dad with his many projects around the house. I've helped build gates, a gazebo and cement block borders but I usually wasn't allowed to use the power tools. (It's probably the safest option for all involved.) But Saturday I successfully used a power saw and several times I might add! I was pretty scared at first, but it was fun! Now I want more projects with power tools.

Weekend fun...
It was a perfect spring-like day today. I really enjoyed the nice weather. Roommate and I went and played tennis this morning. I can't tell you the last time I played tennis. It's been so long ago and I really had fun. We didn't play a 'game' just hit the ball back and forth to each other, but it was really fun. She said something about playing every week...guess I'm going to have to get practicing on my serve (it wasn't very good today).Wednesday, March 11, 2009
Great blog with reviews of books...
This is one of my favorite blogs. I love finding books that I don't have to worry about what I will find halfway through it. She is having a drawing for a book that I really want to read...I'm just waiting for the library to tell me it's my turn! But if I win, I won't have to wait for the library!

well now I feel guilty, tired and hungry...
Roommate's plans changed again and she ended up leaving last night as originally planned. Now I feel guilty for being so happy that she's gone. Is that wrong?!?
Something woke me up at 4 this morning and I couldn't fall back asleep (until it was time to really get up, then I could have gone back to sleep!). It was kind of nice knowing that I didn't have to worry about waking her up too, but there's not much to do at 4 am especially when you've left your book out in the car.
But today's not all bad, it's the monthly potluck lunch at work and I made these cute mini cheesecakes and it's killing me to wait until lunchtime. I did eat one last night because I had never made them before and I had to make sure they wouldn't kill anyone. :) And it was YUMMY! I probably could have eaten the whole batch.

a little dissapointed...
Roommate was going to be out of town this weekend but I just found out tonight that she isn't going now. I am really dissapointed. Now, don't get me wrong, I love living with my current roommate, she's not crazy, doesn't stink up our house with her smoking and numerous other things past rommates used to do and we get along really well, but I was so looking forward to having the apartment all to myself.
I get to spend Friday Night at Friday's Kids, so it won't be all that bad. :) I just wish it was going to be a little warmer this weekend. I could go read my book at the park (the book for bookclub that I haven't finished yet and bookclub is tomorrow!)

Valentines/President's weekend
I had a, well let's call it an eventful, and long holiday weekend. I started it off by getting another cold (it seems like I have been sick for 6 weeks) and this one caused me to lose my voice. So I spent Saturday coughing and not being able to talk.
On Sunday, our choir had been asked to sing for Stake Conference with a couple other ward choirs, since I play the piano for our choir and don't get to sing, I was really looking forward to singing. But without a voice, I wasn't much help!
I got Monday off from work, but my bro and sis-in-law went on a mini vacation and I volunteered to watch the 4 kiddies since youngest sister had them Saturday and grandma had them Sunday. Plus I was the only one who didn't have to work Monday.
We had lots of fun (read that last bit with a TON of sarcasm). I had one with double ear infections, who woke grandma at 5:00, me at 5:45 and then threw up about an hour after grandma left for work. And another with an ear infection and a sinus infection. (we only knew they were sick, my sis-in-law took them to the doctor after she got home) The other two had coughs and runny noses and I am really glad that I didn't catch whatever they all had! We did get some fun in - played games, colored pictures, did some cleaning and laundry, and tried not to bother grandpa who was downstairs in his office working... It was mostly a fun day, but I sure was glad when it was over.
