Happiness

YAY!!! I just got a notice from Amazon that my books have shipped: Three Cups of Tea: One Man... $8.25
1 Breaking Dawn (The Twiligh... $12.64 1 $12.64
1 The Host: A Novel $15.59 1 $15.59


I'm soooo excited! I probably won't get Breaking Dawn until Monday (ARGHHHHHH!) but then I'll have two weeks to read before the semester starts (I have one class to finish but only have studying and one final after this upcoming Monday and I'll have two entire weeks to study, then I have one week with no classes whatsoever). I really wish I had time to read during my semesters, but that just doesn't happen. Not if I want to get good grades and be part of my family. :)

On another note, due to all the stress in my life recently... We've decided to bring the kids out tonight to "Time Out Corner." We've been there once and had lots of fun. It's been open a few months now and I know the kids would like to go. So tonight's plan is to eat dinner (most likely at home) and then head out to have fun for a couple hours playing games in the arcade and playing miniature golf on the black-light lit neon course. Tomorrow we plan to go to Sam's in Topeka and will be bringing the kids there too. What could possibly be more fun than Sam's??? Maybe we'll find something fun to do in Topeka too, but at least we'll be together. That's my goal for the weekend, ignore chores and have fun with my boys.

Have a fantastically fun weekend!

You know, I have Three Cups of Tea. Dad gave it to me. I could have given it to you. Dad met the guy recently when he talked at UM-Duluth.

Yep, he told me all about it too. I've even suggested to the DLT Civil Rights Leture Committee that possibly we could bring him here next year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll want to next year. We have this year's line up already.

Oh, we went to dinner (Famous Daves), went to a 3D movie (Journey to the Middle of the Earth?), and then played miniture golf at Time Out Corner. It was very fun! AND I successfully ignored my chores...lots to do this week now. We also broke the bank. No more fun this month (we'll see about that!).
