I did almost zero school stuff this weekend. The second part of my research proposal is due Thursday. I am meeting people at the library to work on it this morning. We were all supposed to have rough drafts, and mine is especially rough. I will be able to sit down and finish, but it will probably be Wednesday, when there is a true sense of urgency. Instead of working on the paper, I chose to blog. Yay me.
Friday we went to the McCoy's home. They are our friends from Hunter Street. A few weeks ago Buddy (the preacher) challenged the congregation to open up their home and get to know some people. We had a lot of fun. They are from Mississippi, so they relate to Chris's redneck stories, although I do not think they are rednecks at all. They just aren't as culture-shocked as some people when Chris tells his outrageous stories. Anyway, we were glad they opened up their home to us. Fun times.
Saturday Chris and I went to The Home Depot to exchange the blinds. We bought some other random things. Next we went to the mall and I got some rockin' jeans and some Yellow Box shoes. When we got home I fried chicken and pickles (fo' sho') and we watched the Bama game. Actually, Chris watched it and I napped. He went to hang the new blinds but when he took them out of the box, he discovered that they had been custom cut, so they wouldn't fit! Ha! The Shuberts have yet another trip to make to try to get blinds. God sure does have a funny sense of humor. Chris and Amanda are both equally incapable of purchasing blinds.
Sunday Chris went to the races (surprise) with his family. I refuse to go to the races. I went many years ago with my dad, and the races are not my thing. I was too lazy to go to church. I worked in the flower bed yesterday afternoon. I also organized our closet as it was getting out of control.
Nothing major to report from Brooks. His crate in now in the garage. He will probably be mad when we get home. He enjoys the weather. He goes in the backyard and rolls around in the grass and falls asleep in the sun. Then he realizes that he is outside ALONE and unsupervised so he tries to break down the door. But that's about it. No more sink incidents since the new crate, thank goodness.

I can't believe you two have been together for 8 years, but if I really make myself concentrate, that does seem about right... haha
Chris doesn't really seem like that much of a redneck until he starts telling redneck stories, and then I guess people sort of wonder. haha BUT one of those redneck stories DID give him that extra edge with med school stuff, so...
Yay for blogging instead of doing other stuff. I kept thinking that this morning I would get all sorts of stuff done... but no. I keep sitting down at the computer. I'll start something else and then wander back to the computer. Oh well. It's Monday.
And poor Brooks... Quinn said he'll go play outside with him. Rolling in the grass and taking a nap in the sunshine might be fun. If it's a short little bitty baby nap.
