Mamma Mia!

I very much understand now why some people either a) slack off on updating their blog or b) update it every day. I had previously categorized these people as slackers or obsessors. I rationalized that the slackers were too unorganized to be able to actually update their blogs as they said they would or that their life just wasn't interesting enough. I categorized the obsessors as people who just had nothing better to do, or people that thrived on getting feedback from other people. Now I realize it is almost impossible to find a healthy medium. I was trying to save everything up for a once a week post, but things are just too exciting this summer as the once a week post is seemingly too overwhelming. However, I'd go nuts at a once a day post (although I think it would be much easier). Anyway, I am still being harassed by non-bloggers for not blogging in an adequate timeframe per their standards; I will try to do better. Too bad I can't just dictate to the computer.

This weekend was a whirlwind weekend but a lot of fun. Three friends from Atlanta came to visit. We snacked and played Euchre on Friday night. It brought back my freshman year of college where we would come back from SAGA and sit in the dorm and play Euchre for at least an hour. How awesome to be able to play Euchre five times a week! Those were the days.

Saturday morning I was up early (thanks Stella) and trying to be quiet to let the guests sleep in. Stella does enjoy a morning bark or too and hasn't figured out good manners when guests are in the house. I took Chris to his church and then Toni and Pura and I met Cynthia at Pepper Place, which is a big Saturday morning fresh market. We shopped a little and had drinks. Then, we got Chris, ate lunch at Newk's and then shopped in downtown Homewood. I think all were pleased with the purchases! After a little break, we headed down to the Mamma Mia sing a long at the Alabama theater. What fun it was! Imagine a whole theater singing "take a chance on me"....it was pretty funny. We hit the bars afterwards in Lakeview, and then called it a night. I put my culinary skills to use and made cinnamon rolls, breakfast casserole, fruit salad, etc. It was kind of fun to cook for a group.

Yesterday Stella and I napped and I tried to get some things down around the house but had a hard time...nice weather outside but a little humid. Stel and I were up early yesterday and she was a bundle of energy, that is for sure!

This week will be very busy...looking forward to a trip to see friends AND Stella's first birthday on Sunday.
