The weekend and some randomness :)

What a FABULOUS weekend...
Friday night -- supper out with a dear friend and then a sleepover.  Dark chocolate, the movie Andre (based on a real-life story of a family that adopted a baby seal), and laughter...and tears.  The Lord knew that I needed a sweet friend by my side as I learned of another goodbye that will be in my near future.  

Deep-down -- I am super happy for this wonderful answer to prayer...an answer that is going to separate us by approximately 300 miles.  Deep-deep down, I am thrilled that the Lord has opened up this door...but for now, for today, my tears will freely flow.  Please afford me these sad moments and be there with a hug when I am sad.  You don't even have to come up with eloquent words...just BE.  Not only is it 2 adult goodbyes but it will contain 3 goodbyes (well, 4 if you count their furry friend) that just might break my heart.

Friday night turned to Saturday which afforded me a leisure morning and then some errand running before providing childcare to 3 delightful boys (ages 4, 2, and 6 months).  After parental departure, I sat the two older boys down and said, "Miss Angie has 1 rule for tonight and if you obey, we will watch Fievel and read books.  My 1 rule is - we will not do anything dangerous tonight."  (It should be noted that I dropped my voice to a near-whisper when I said "dangerous."  It was quite effective!)  Those boys were nearly angelic all night.  We watched Fievel, I cut-up watermelon into "party-sizes" (they did not consume it...which left me having a watermelon party!), and we watched American Tale.  It was a fun Saturday night.

Sunday -- church, Sunday school, and a leisure afternoon...  I bought a coffeebean grinder so that I could enjoy my bag o'beans from house-sitting.  They are labeled "Grin and Bear it!"  The front of the bag o'beans has a grizzly bear which I believe best is descriptive of yours truly before her mug o'beloved.

So there you have it...my weekend in a nutshell.  

Today was back to the chopping block and a very surreal Monday.  Not sure if it's the weather (well, it's been sunny out) or just the fact that I've been kind of busy for a Monday. 

I'm ready for the weekend.  It's sad for me to say that "outloud" because it's only Monday and I don't want to wish the day away.  

OH -- I just had an epiphany...another part of my moroseness -- I finished the Resolution book.  I know, I know...one would think I would be happy to complete a book...but I'm sad that I am done.  This book will be one that I will be re-reading...maybe annually because it was an excellent read.  The last resolution was about leaving a Godly legacy and how all the other resolutions built-upon one another and all come down to leaving behind a Godly legacy...

Happy Monday!!!
