Weekend Highlights

In random order:

- Planting a dozen or so bulbs that should eventually grow into beautiful flowers in my wee lil’ garden.

- Flying a kite higher than the telephone wires for much longer than just a few seconds. The kite featured a picture of Bart Simpson and the words "Old School." Cost of kite = .88¢.

- Getting one of those cell phones that takes pictures.

- Cleaning my filthy, dirt-coated car inside and out.

- Receiving a honest-to-God hickey.

- Watching "Sister Act" for what is estimated to be the 322nd time. I’ve been overusing the word "joyous" lately, but no other word better describes the parts of the movie wherein the nuns bring their beautiful voices and hand-claps together in Whoopi-Goldberg-guided harmony. A truly fun albeit so-retarded-90's movie.

- Remaining unimpregnated.

- Sloppily sewing a rip in the lining of a purple throw pillow that I sleep with each night.

- AJ accidentally putting the first and last names of Skeet Ulrich together while reading the movie info for "Chilly Dogs" aloud and calling him "Skeech." (Note: Has anyone ever actually watched "Chilly Dogs"?)

- Repeating the word "Skeech" in the form of a question in a crazy redneck accent for the rest of the weekend and laughing very hard, usually while alone. "Skeech?"

- Putting a new last name on my mailbox even though our wedding vows are still almost four months away from being officially uttered.

- Feeling like a grown-up without being intimidated by the sensation.

- Viewing free Showtime.

- Martha’s release.

- Sleeping well (Sunday night not included for some reason).
