weekend

that's supposed to refer to the last weekend of january, but it's already the weekend again. i don't understand the whole spurting nature of the majority of bloggers, myself especially included. it's like you get inspired with creativity or post ideas for a few weeks and then you get writer's block. or maybe that latter part is just the dull normality of life. however, i figure i prefer dull normality as opposed to a series of crises.

anywho, last weekend we had a couple of friends over on saturday night to eat lindsay's mom's vegetable "beef" (we used turkey and beef) soup/stew. it's so yummy. it made a huge stock pot's worth and i took it for lunch 3 times this week i think.

in monday night small group (well, we call it lifegroup at our church), we have finished foster's the celebration of discipline so we're spending a few weeks just hanging out and playing cards after dinner. we're getting together to watch the superbowl tmrw and then we may start something new the next week. to me, the community aspect is just as important as what we dig into. people need each other and we're building friendships and trust as we spend time together and share meals.

we got snow this week - 2-3 inches by the time it was done on friday. it's around 11 degrees this morning so the stuff isn't melting away soon.

i watched 'sunset blvd' this week and it was pretty wild. made in 1950, i was surprised that it didn't win more academy awards. interestingly, it lost out in a few categories to 'all about eve' and that just came in the mail yesterday.

oh, and jake turns 3 in three weeks. hard to believe. on a similar note, kg will be a dad in less than two weeks. congrats kevin and stacey!!
