Weekend Spree!

Well I had a fabulous weekend! I was busy busy busy!! I still don't believe that I did all that I did in such a short span of time. But God is good!!

I have a white kitchen and a white bathroom. Meaning everything is white, including the floors! Cabinets, fridge, etc. The only hint of color is my wood table, the counter top which is speckled grayish and some lovely yellow flowers that I put on top of the cabinets. Everything else is sparkling white. lol So this Saturday I got up early and cleaned like a maniac on speed! I scrubbed those lovely white cabinets and those hateful white floor tiles till they gleamed. I scoured that bathtub and walls and window sills till they were almost faded. lol Since I had some beautiful frames in a corner in the living room just sitting there, I decided to throw those up on the walls in the kitchen. Cause the white was just giving me a headache!! lol

I'll spare you the rest of the details, you know the running to the bakery, running to the dollar store, running to the hair salon to drop my sister off, running to my husband's friends house to lend a helping hand, then running home to start all the cooking and salad making and finish cleaning/organizing.

The dinner went just great. I served the salad (romaine lettuce, radicchio, mozzarella cheese, sliced ham, cucumbers, tomatoes), fresh french bread with butter. Then the main course was red beans, arroz con gandules, oven roasted chicken. Dessert was fresh cupcakes from the best bakery in town!

We had a lively conversation. The pastor and his wife bought us coffee. We gave them an abbreviated tour of the house. And then we sat down to chat. I love these people. And I thank God for them because they truly care. They also had a good rapport between them (my big word for the day). They just flowed so easily in conversation. There was no power struggle, no domineering on either part. But I guess that comes when you submit to the Lord Jesus. Also they have been married for 35 years! Now that's a real accomplishment in these days. My 6 1/2 years seems to pale by comparison, but then again it doesn't because in the day of online divorces 6 1/2 years is almost a lifetime. :)

On Sunday, we got up to go to church. And I had a great time. God just wanted to be worshipped and I was happy to oblige Him. :) After church we went to pick up the creator of this blog and we held her hostage for a bit in the morning. Then she took off to places unknown and when she returned we had a blast. I made eggplant Parmesan for the hubby. I won't touch it. I wont even taste it! lol I don't know why but I can't imagine myself tasting it. eek! gross! Anyway, Lisy and I had a great time talking. I always enjoy her company. She is so diversified and can carry herself almost regally in any atmosphere. Well maybe not in the purse section of any department store, but that's another blog topic altogether. lol

Sunday night was spent pretty peacefully. My hubby was listening to the oldies station. And I sat in the living room writing a letter to my pen pal Danny (my hubby's cousin), writing a few thank you notes, reading the Bible, reading my Al-anon devotional and reading thru my town's telephone directory. Yes I am such a book worm that I even love the phone book! lol

I have a few things to mail and I'm thinking that I should go to the post office and buy some stamps. I'm just so lazy to cross that highway. I hate it. lol Let's see. Well I think I've blogged enough. I'm trying to get enough entries on here so that I could send it out to my mother on a monthly basis. She just loves to read all these things. And well my mom is pretty wonderful and fabulous. So I love to give her little treats here and there. :)

Oh before I go, we got our very first book club member that's not a known friend. Woo hoo...we're expanding!! Yay!! Have a great read and tell us about it.
