Yesterday, I figured that because it was Thursday, not too many people would be out and about. Yes, it was Christmas break, but it was Thursday. I had the harebrained idea to take Mike out to see a film. So, we went to Crocker Park and it was an absolute mad house. I have seen Crocker Park be overcrowded before and this was way beyond that. It was crazy! I was depressed for trying to see a movie. Then Mike valiantly called that movie phone thing so that you can find other movie times. Well, we decided to go out to Elyria’s Cobblestone theater. It is usually not too crowded. EVEN IT WAS MORE CROWDED THAN ANY TIME I HAD BEEN THERE. There is a Cracker Barrel close by and neither of us had really eaten a proper supper, therefore we thought it would be nice to go there. Unfortunately, the line was out the door. We were tired of all the let-downs and didn’t want to risk another crowded restaurant. We traversed many moons to a Giant Eagle. Low and behold it was practically deserted! Needless to say we hung out there. Okay that was a lil stretch but we did get a pizza. Then, I remembered that my dad was fasting in preparation for a colonoscopy (spelling?). I was afraid the smell of baking pizza would drive him insane. Thus, I called the house and got dad’s blessings to bake the pizza. Because of all the heartache of the night, Mike and I went crazy and bought a stuffed crust pizza. It was marvelous! Mike and I watched about half an hour of Animaniacs and then he went home. Some date huh? The plus side was that Mike got an ipod for Christmas. Actually he wanted a cd player for his car but his mother thought that this way he would have all of his music with him without putting his cd’s at risk of being stolen from the car again. I thought this very wise. So, amidst all this driving around, we listened to our favorite songs and sang at the top of our lungs.
Alas, for me, the night was ended with discovering that Sassy, in her old lady like incompetence, had left me a lil something on my fitted sheet. If it was on the comforter I could have just removed the comforter and gotten an extra blanket. Yet, the gift being on the fitted sheet meant that I would have to completely remake my bed. ARGH! What a night!

This past friday marked a rousing reunion of friends. The American themed party was to welcome home our dear friend from overseas. There were baked beans, cheeseburgers, and jello. Anna baked a gorgeous apple pie. We all sang the first stanza of our national anthem to mark the occasion. It was such fun! It was a wonderful way to start off this present packed weekend of Christmas! God Bless America! Merry Christmas! (Happy Holidays to all those who may be offended by my enthusiasm in the birth of the world’s savior. On second thought, I don’t care if you are offended. Suck it up.)

So I got my grades for this semester and they were all A’s! I don’t think that I have gotten complete straight A’s since grade school. There is always at least one evil lurking B. Three cheers for Piper! Hip hip…(you echo hooray), hip hip…(again you echo), hip hip…(last time, repeat aforementioned echo).

Last Saturday, Emma surprised me with a phone call for a date to Mitchell’s Ice Cream. Of course I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to see a dear friend (and ice cream). Then she said Sarah was coming and that was just icing on the cake. Then when we arrived(myself and Mike, they invited him too because they all secretly love him more than me) there was Ellen and Audra! What a bonus! It was like old times after football games when we would all go to Mitchell’s. It was such a nice Thanksgiving gift to talk with them all and catch up. Besides the mountains of calorie free mashed potatoes (everything during the holidays is calorie free right?), it totally made my weekend.
Here’s a funny story. The main character is a man you all know as my organist friend (to Joanne it’s Matt). He was frantically looking for his glasses the other day. He completely upended his house, his office, and car. Lo and behold he was watching the telly and was eating chips. As he reached in for a another mouthful out came his glasses! He claims he must have meant to place his glasses beside the bag of chips last time he ate them and must have accidentally put them in the bag. I just thought that was a funny visual and something you would see on a sit-com so I shared it.
