Weekend Wonderings

What a weekend! It was awesome and wierd and frightening and overwhelming and just generally unbelievable!!!!

The highlights:

• My first double-date!!!! James & I went out with my friend Kim and her bf, and her son, to Olive Garden. It was WAY FUN!!!! Especially since there was a 45 minute wait, and we made the guys go with us to the JoAnn Fabrics next door so we could shop as we waited!!!! Hahahaha it was too funny. Two men and a 4-year old boy, in a girly craft shop!!!! Bwahahahaha
• I now own a Gameboy Color!!! Yes! $12 at a used book/game store! Now I just need some games... *sad sigh*
• ER visit with Kim's son... he went from normal happy kid, to rapidly-rising fever and screaming in pain, within an HOUR!!!!! We took him to the ER, and I think I was freaking out more than Kim was. His fever was only 99.7 but he felt SO HOT with his little head laying on me. Reminded me of my dad, tho I didn't tell Kim that... then my first time in a hospital since Dad died... They gave her son some Motrin and antibiotics, and he was happy and normal again within an hour! Bizarre!!!!!
• I realized that I am stronger than I give myself credit for... I think sometimes I spend way too much time focusing on my weaknesses, instead of reminding myself of the good qualities too. Must work on this!
• Friday it was WARM!!!! I went outside after work, noticed that, and took some benadryl so I could work in the yard without sneezing. I did a LOT of work in the "wilderness" section (the area between the back of our fence, and the alley... VERY overgrown... poison ivy breeding ground). I also petted the doggie, picked up a few sticks, and picked some seeds off of last years flowers. They are currently planted, as a test run, to make sure they weren't some of those weird/infertile hybrid seeds.
• I caught the kid's cold, I think... yuck!

Now... I'm off to finish our Monday Quote game!!!!!
