Two weeks of crazy

The last two weeks have been a maelstrom of activity. I like that word, maelstrom. It reminds me of that ride at Disneyworld in the Norwegian land, in Epcot. It's such a silly ride but we always go because we just want to stop walking! Epcot is one of the largest parks there, after all.

Anyway, I'm going to detail out a list of our family's activity.

Sunday, August 12 - church, dinner with M and K - sort of our last dinner as a family before M moved out.
The week of Aug 13 - Volleyball two-a-days all week.
Monday, August 13 - M moved out to her new place. It's a condo, and she's staying with one of her friends from her first year of college who I love, and whose family I love. Then, K also invited some friends to spend the night, so we went to Taziki's and ate and then went bowling. Fun times!
Tuesday, August 14 -  dinner with Beth and her girls, then painting pictures for fun.
Thursday, August 16 - Dessert night and the last night of summer bible study! Read "Girls Gone Wise" which sounds a little sketchy but had some really good, biblically-based truths. You can get it at this link.
Friday, August 17 - My friend Lynn's 40th birthday party! We had a spend-the-night gig at Amanda's and went out to Fig for appetizers. We even did a shot with some whipped cream vodka. We also played a board game based on Awkward Family Photos. Lots of giggling with hilarious women.
Saturday, August 18 - Went four wheeling for the first time in my life with my boyfriend and his daughter. Then went out for dinner and watched the third Bourne movie. What a great day!
Monday, August 20 - First day of 10th grade for K. What? WHAT?! We also found a rug and duvet cover for her room while bargain shopping that day. Woot woot!
Thursday, August 23 - took some soup to M, who was under the weather, and it was only the second day of class for her. She is a trooper.
Friday, August 24 - Worked at a Habitat For Humanity house for the first time in my life. Got to use a nail gun to put in window casings, then built some window casings with a miter saw and a table saw. We met the homeowner, Earlene Jemison, who was adorable. It was an amazing day but man was I wiped afterward!
Saturday, August 25 - K's first volleyball tournament. She didn't play at all (on Sat, she did play on Friday, but I played hooky that day). We then went shopping and headed towards our friends' the Ditoros for a book club event. Delicious food and a bloody mary to boot!

So...not much time to write. Only a little time to think. But good, clean fun. Well, the four wheeling was a little dirty...
