My parents are getting their house re-roofed, so I've been hanging out at their house during the day. Mom's at work, Dad's been out of town hiking, and I haven't been scheduled at either job so I might as well be here in case the roofers have any questions ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my Mom's birthday, so to celebrate I took her to the mall. That might sound like a lame present, but when you think about it, it's a kindness. Let me explain. Mom won't go into the stores I would buy clothes at, so if I go to the mall with her it's a trip that will only include stores like Coldwater Creek or Eddie Bauer - that is, ( Read more... )

Church group was really fun tonight. The group has shrank so much since our first meeting back in January - only six-eight people show up at each meeting now. I wonder why all the others didn't stay. Did they think we weren't deep enough? Were we uninteresting? Too conservative? Not conservative enough? A lot of the people who stopped coming ( Read more... )
