I woke up the on Friday and smelled the fresh spring-like air. I had to keep telling myself it’s February because it certainly did smell like the first spring rain. After work I went and decided to get my hair cut. Friday night we went to a birthday party. The pastor’s son of the Brazilian Assembly of God church was celebrating his 18th bday and it was quite a big event.
The next day was a great and beautiful Saturday. Cesar and I woke up a little earlier than I would normally like to pick up and fix the trailer that he’d left behind the day before after the tire popped. From there we went to borrow Isabella’s Costco card and we tried Costco for the first time. I love Costco! Good stuff. Seriously. There, of course, are still things we’ll get at Wal-mart (I am aware they are part of the rival chain, but where you shop is not about loyalty), but I think a majority of our shopping will change as we plan on getting a Costco business card. Cesar found things he used on a regular basis for at least half the price he paid for them. Then Cesar dropped me off at Isabella’s and Isabella and I went on our Saturday run/walk. The second time around still left us a little sore, but not quite like last time, so I imagine we’ll building on and running more, walking less each week. No shin splints this week. Tighter muscles, but not sore. Feeling good. So then Cesar and I, tired from the day and the week spent the rest of the evening at home. He watched Fireproof in Spanish. I can’t stand watching a movie that’s dubbed (I prefer subtitles if I’m watching international movies), so I went and watched In the Valley of Elah. Not a bad movie, not a good one either. I think Tommy Lee is trying to make the point with the movies he’s doing that things just aren’t what they used to be. I say it’s not all that bad really. Horror has existed through the generations.
So has amazingly cute things like my niece saying “Peace out” and “What’s up dog?” Soooooo cute. I’d like to think that nothing so cute has ever existed. Haha. Sunday we got up and made breakfast. Things seem to taste better to me when I know we have enough food to go around. That’s why I love(d) Costco! Hehe. And we pretty much bummed around until Sunday night at church.
Sunday night at church, I had the kids watching one of the parts of the Nooma series called “Dust.” We talked quite a bit about it because, of course, the DVD, while short, was made for an older age group. They did pretty well, though. I think the majority of the kids I’m blessed to teach enjoy learning in some aspect (depending on the day, of course. They are 10 years and younger). I liked my haircut when the lady styled it, but after washing it and with my style, it looked a little 70s/80s. I knew it could look better, but didn’t know how to get it there, so I wore it in a ponytail as usual. Isabella noticed and said she’d straighten it for me to where to work tomorrow. She taught me some things to do to style it. Now all I need is a good straightener like hers. Hmm.
Well, the day is almost done and just beginning. I’m going now to cook something creative with the food that I now have. And I need to remember to search high and low for my social and my birth certificate. I know they’re somewhere safe…. I just can’t remember which somewhere safe that is. Much love to you all and happy non-Spring spring!
