Pictures of Mandy's BBQ

Here are some pics from the BBQ last Saturday. Not professional quality.

Here is Jennifer Stout - she was looking at me for a moment, then looked away.

Me acting silly:

Catch Phrase and Segregation...Travis, Alex, Brittney, Melissa, Mark

Two cute little dogs: Bunny and Chewey (like in Star Wars)

Church & Lunch

Today I went to Ecclesia again. I sat with Lindsey. She brought a guy that she is dating. The sermon was on God's love. We cannot do anything to earn God's love, He already loves us as much as He can. Because of his love, we are good and right already. We can love other people because God loves us. I love the sermons at this church. However, I have never taken communion while there. So I don't know if they don't do it....or just do it once per month...

After church, I went to Tony's house because he wanted us to go to lunch with Pam & Scott. We ate at Chili's. Scott loves onion strings....so we ate TWO orders of onion strings before our meal came. Pam had margaritas while Scott had a couple beers...I had diet coke and Tony had Dr Pepper. By the way, Chili's just changed their menu and it is totally different. All the food I like is gone and there is lots of strange stuff in it's place. No more pitas, no more turkey sandwich, no more southwestern salad. Bummer.

My favorite topic of conversation was pre-marital counseling. Pam & Scott were outraged at the hour and a half long sessions. Scott said "Just talk to each other and pay your bills....that's all you have to know." I couldn't have imagined better counseling!! I thought that was beautifully simple. I want to get a plague that says that for our home.

Friday Night

Good News! My weekend assignment was delayed until Monday. So I just have to study a little bit tonight, and can spread it out throughout the weekend. I'm studying at Tony's house. We got Papa Murphy's pizza. We had coupons and it is alot cheaper than delivery, and we like it because we can pick out everything on our pizza. A large pepperoni is only $5.00. Tony's slices have all meat (sausage, hamburger, canadian bacon, and pepperoni)....ridiculous. My slices have all veggies (spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, green peppers). Yum! You buy the pizza raw and cook it in the oven for like 15 minutes.

While I study, Tony is working on his fishtank. The fishtank of glory that he bought recently is not precisely how he wants it. So he is constructing his own fish tank stand. When I arrived at his house, he had purchased tons of wood and was nailing it together in his tiny backyard area. After my study time, I'm going to use the internet to look up ways to deal with the fact that he is obsessed with his fish tank. Possible subject for pre-marital counseling. The first picture is of his fishtank now...then the following are pictures of the wood and his new construction.

Loosie is sleeping on my snuggie tonight. She didn't have any pizze, but she did have some pepperoni that fell on the ground. When Tony uses his drill, she barks at him.

Playing Professor

Today, Dr Rinaldo went out of town. So I showed a movie in her class....like a sub. The movie was about the ethics of marketing to children. Here are pictures of the class watching the movie. I tried to sneak the picture so they wouldn't be creeped out by me.

The movie was pretty interesting. It is scary to realize the way marketers are reaching kids. Sponge Bob was particularly effective. Children now have Sponge Bob cereal, macaroni, bed linens, backpacks and school supplies, toys, etc! If I have children then will never watch tv or use the internet. They will play outside and read classic novels or non-fiction books on the New York Times Bestseller list.

Trivets!

Today I finally picked up the trivets I painted at Art Avenue for Mallory's birthday. It is one of those places where you paint ceramics. They turned out pretty good!
