Today I decided to take a mental health day so I stayed home, slept in, and went to see a movie by myself!! It was really nice and relaxing! I decided to see Paranormal Activity because I heard a lot about it, and NO ONE will see scary movies with me- so I went alone. It was, by far, the most suspenseful movie I've seen in a long time. It is VERY scary, but of the good 'ole fashion, not-see-the-monster, suspenseful, no-blood-and-guts variety. I thought it was great!!! And apparently the ending in theaters is NOT the original ending, so I'm looking forward to seeing the 'real' ending when the DVD comes out. I'd recommend it if you like a good scare! And I would recommend seeing it with a friend.... I was a little scared to go to sleep last night! Also, PLEASE let me know if you like to see scary movies!!!!

After hours upon hours of work, I finally finished my first round of college recommendation letters. So far...I think this is just for the schools with Early Action dates and the Ivy Leagues. I sure hope MIT, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Columbia, and Stanford know me by name now- I've sure sent them some mail in the past couple of years!! And yes, I do have kids at "those" schools- 2 at Harvard, about 7 or 8 at Cornell, two at Brown, about four at USC and one at Carnegie Mellon. And no, I'm not proud of them at all!!! :) :)

It's a quiet Monday night and we're watching House and Lie to Me. Even Chewie likes Monday night prime time!

It's Restoration Anglican Church kickoff Sunday!!!

I've posted before about the church plant our friends, Jed and Stacy Roseberry, are starting, and today was the first official service! I think it went wonderfully!!! The music, supplied by some members of the award-winning band The Afters was awesome, Jed's message really spoke to me and seemed RELEVANT (I think we all know how, at times, sermons seem a little lofty and hard to grasp) and I loved the energy I felt throughout the service. I thought the environment was warm and welcoming, full of people who LOVE GOD and want to share. It's a come as you are, laid back approach to worship and is truly refreshing! If this sounds like something you would be interesting in, let me know! And check them out online. Have a great week everyone!!!

Dinner and a movie with great friends is always a fun way to spend Friday night! Thanks Kate, Dustin, and Nora for a fun evening at Babe's and watching Adventureland! Oh, I want to hear how the plastic bag of mashed potatoes works out!

Grading. Grading. Grading. I need to figure out how much of my life I've spent grading papers, quizzes, and projects. Actually, I'll probably just be depressed by the results, so maybe not.
