Week of August 19

Another week has gone by already?  It's going to be Christmas before you know it! 

Here's a peek at our week:

Sunday

After church on Sunday Caleb and I walked to Burger King and this was sitting on our table.  Umm, gross! Caleb said he would be willing to try it.

 

Sunday night I was skyping with my family and I got Oscar out to say hi to them, and the little goober bit me.  I don't handle him much so I dont know if he just got scared or what his deal was. He's never bit me before. As punishment I didn't break up his pellets Monday morning when I fed him.  Turns out, he's big enough now that I don't need to break up his pellets.  Sigh.

 

 

There's guilt all over that face.





Monday:

This was a beautiful sunrise Monday morning.

Please don't mind my dirty windows.

Tuesday:

Oh look!  Another pretty sunrise!

It was also the first day of school for Louisville's public schools.  The school along my route to work doesn't have a place for buses to drop off students other than right on the street. So,if the timing hits right, I have sit and wait for mutiple school buses to drop off kids at their "mini-versity".  That's what it's called, I don't make this stuff up.

 

There's a Save-A-Lot that is not too far away from where we live.  I go there for several things that I can get cheaper than anywhere else.  The only problem with it is that it is kind of ....ahem...ghetto. On Tuesday as I was getting ready to back out I saw this car.  I've seen this kind of thing as decoration before...but I'm pretty sure this wasn't decoration.  You never know what you are going to see here.

 

Wednesday:

Today was a big delivery day for us!  A few more of Caleb's books came in.  He now has all of them except for 2 that are available for free as pdfs that he can download to his kindle, one that he is borrowing from a friend, and one book that isn't published yet.  Needless to say, I won't be hanging out with him much this semester.

 

Thursday:

My seminary wives program started up again tonight.  I'm taking a class on women of influence.  It's a pretty small class and I'm excited about it.  :-)

 

Also, Caleb decided to drop a class today.  There is just too much reading to do along with being on call for work on the days that he doesn't have class.  He dropped one with a super heavy reading load.

Here's his new stack of books for the semester.  :-)   It took out 4 books along (including the one not published yet) with some hefty required Bible reading.  It doesn't look like much of a decrease, but it is.  Some of his books are for a marriage in ministry class that met this past week for 2 days and all he has to do now to complete his credits is read some books and write a response and a paper (i think, there may be more).  I'm planning on reading some of the books to himwhile we travel to and from Missouri next month.  That way I can have the benefit of reading them also and he can listen to me talk for hours at a time because i just KNOW that it's one of his favoritest things to do.  Right, Caleb?  :-)

 

Friday:

 

I got all of my hairs cut today.  I wanted it cut just like I got it cut last time, but she hacked off a little more than I expected.  It's more noticeable in the back.  I'm still happy with it though.  I don't know that I have ever had my hair this short before, other than when I was a wee tot.

Saturday:

I got some mail from my pappy yesterday.  It was my all time favorite movie when I was little.  I used to watch it over and over again.  I'm not quite sure why, but I did.  He got it for free at a garage sale and mailed it to me.  Since Caleb had a lot of reading to do today, I decided to watch it and boy did the memories start flooding back.  I still don't know what I liked so much about this movie.

 

 

This was a project that I started a few weeks ago.  Caleb found a hunk of wood one day out by a dumpster and he brough it home.  I drew an "S" and had him cut it out.  I painted it and tried to crackle the paint it but I couldn't get the paint to do what I wanted to, even after two attempts.  I decided just to cover it in some fabric that I got on clearance at Walmart awhile back.  I hung it on the door at the top of our stairs that leads into our living room to replace our year-round Christmas wreath.  I think it turned out good, I just feel like its missing something.  Opinions, anyone?

 

I'm excited for this upcoming week...my family is coming into town!  Even my sister gets to come this time.  :-)
