Weekend , Steve's b-day and dish rags!

Well, from the stack above you can tell what I have been doing!!! I have been watching a lot of TV. My sister and Patty say if I am knitting while watching TV it is not wasting time, and my sister jokingly said if I was watching the History Channel then I am definitely not wasting my time. I told her that I actually was watching the History Channel part of the time. I actually have been doing less sitting and more doing. But I have definitely caught the knitting bug. Steve's says I look like a grandma when I am knitting in my glasses, I said,"well I am a grandma!"

Yesterday was one of those amazing day's that at the end of the day you feel very tired, but great. I did a little of everything, including working in my greenhouse for 40 min. I washed clothes and actually folded them, did the dishes, cooked meals, read my scriptures, worked on my calling, read out of Jane Eyre (which I am reminded why I always feel a soft spot when I think about it), watched Ellen while I folded clothes, knitted, watched the last Little House the movie with Steve and last but not least watched American Idol.

Speaking of American Idol, it is getting harder and harder to vote people off. I am anxious about tonights show.

Sunday was Steve's b-day. It was just the two of us. I had meetings all day, I felt bad for him, he went to church alone, came home to an empty house until I finally got home at 5:00. I made him cubed steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and salad. I already made the chocolate pie the night before. He ate so much at dinner he never wanted his pie. Finally as he was about to go to sleep, I said I have to sing to you! So I got out a candle, lit it held it up in front of his face, while he was laying on the couch and sang happy birthday to him. He took his sweet time blowing it out. Finally the next day he ate some pie. I had some on his b-day.

Well, that's about it, Saturday was just busy getting ready for Sunday. I did have a neat experience on Saturday. I have been very negligent in my calling. I think fear of the whole scouting thing made me paralyzed. I lost something that was very important to me that had to do with the 11yr. old boy day camp. I had searched the house over. Well, after I had put in several hours on Saturday working on getting ready for my Pres mtg. and brushing up on my handbooks, I found the thing I had been looking for while I was looking for something entirely different. I almost started crying. I knew that HF was displeased with me for ignoring my calling. After putting in just that little bit of time, I felt like he handed me that gift for finally doing my job. He is amazing, I don't think we are quite that quick to forgive!

Well, I am loving Jane Eyre for the 3rd time. If you have never read it, put it on your list. Oh we also watched Dan in Real Life, it was cute, we enjoyed it. Dad would like it mom. Well, hope you are all well!
Love you all!
