Kim is getting excited about buying baby stuff for them…I’m just going to start stealing stuff from Russell and Melanie’s house!!

Yesterday was pretty relaxed. Kim went over to her mom’s for a little card playing party. I went over to Chief’s to watch football and drink the beers.

Then today, mom called me and let me know that my grandmother is having some tissue from her lung biopsied. The doctor is pretty sure it is cancerous, but we will know for sure on Tuesday. The good side to this (if there can be a good side to lung cancer) is that it was caught in her routine checkups, so it hasn’t progressed to the point of her being able to notice side effects from it. The doctor also says that it is in an operable location in the lung, so they can go in and remove it. Of course, she’s an older woman, so anything is dangerous.

We also went with Brian and Amber this weekend to see that “..make a porn” movie — it is really funny, and really shocking. Today, I went and saw “Religulous” by myself. It isn’t really insightful or super entertaining at all…basically just a “All religious people believe they have the correct religion, and all religions preach of a war against the others, and these are the people making the decisions in our country” kind of film. We all know that fanatics are…well…crazy…nothing new in the movie really.

I wonder what the argument is against that.  I have only lived in one place in my life where you could go buy wine/beer in the Wal-mart/Target in your weekly trip, and I must say it is so much nicer and more convenient.  Having them far away, in my opinion, just makes the streets more dangerous because if someone runs out of beer (after they have already been drinking), they are going to go travel that much farther to the beer store.  If there was one on the corner or at the gas station, they could theoretically walk (which they wouldn’t, but at least they aren’t on the road quite as long).

Oh well, it doesn’t really matter one way or the other to me.  When I was the beers I just pick them up on my way home.  Saturday evening I went over to Chief’s to help him celebrate.  I’m not sure wha the was celebrating, but there we drank beer…so it must have been something.

Sunday we hosted a family dinner.  Susan, Jesse, and Lance (from Kim’s work) came.  It was quite a good time.

Monday was horrible though (and it’s only 10:24am on Monday).  I got stuck in traffic.  By the time I got to see the accident (1 hour after it occurred) there were still something like 6 or more cars piled up.  I was sitting there for forever!  They closed the road off behind us — and it took more than an hour for those of us that were unfortunate enough to not have an escape route to get through.

The class reunion was pretty fun.  It was good to see all the people I haven’t talked to in a long time.  I’ll definitely go to the next one.  One highlight was that Casey Collier was voted (back in 1998) as “Most likely to change the most” and “Most likely to still live at home.”  I suppose that is only funny if you know him.

One group of people dressed up in wigs and crazy clothes for the union (Mr. Cool, Yancy, some other people).  They were apparently completely drunk before it even started.  I don’t think the reaction they received is the one that they were looking for.  Most people kind of just looked at them in pity, thinking along the lines of “how insecure do you have to be to do that?”  I guess they rolled the dice on that one — it was either going to be really funny, or really awkward…and I don’t think I heard anyone laughing.

April makes the best sandwiches ever….and congratulations to Sarah on getting engaged!

After the eating and the shopping though, Kim dropped the hammer on her manipulative plan…and said she wanted me to take her home and that I could go watch a movie by myself.  She’s a clever one…

But I went and saw “Traitor.”  It was pretty good.  I’d give it a 4 our of 5.  Maybe 3.75, but more than likely 4.  I wanted to see the “Burn after Reading” movie, but after Kim’s Tom Foolery, I didn’t get a chance too.

We were walking out of the place, and a Home Depot guy comes up to us with a bucket and say “Would you like to draw for a prize?” (He probably said what the prize was…I don’t remember).  I said “Oh no thanks, I’m not much of an artist.”

**UPDATE**

I forgot to mention that we bought our first real piece of artwork.  You can go here and see them.  In the top section, scroll (put your mouse on the picture at the far edge) and find the painting that are 4 separate paintings that each have a tree on them.  The painting is called “Four Seasons.”

Anyone that wants to come, just let me know.
