. . . enjoyed refreshing worship and a very relevant sermon at church.
. . . enjoyed Ethiopian food at a restaurant where we are becoming familiar folk. (At first my taste for Ethiopian food was lacking a bit – I’m not very adventurous in the food realm. However now I look forward to eating injera, and I have a list of things that I call “my favorites.”)
. . . wore my new beads – love them! (Seriously, go check those beads out. . . even if it means leaving here in the middle of this post! I’m okay with that; they are beautiful beads for a great cause!
. . . went to the laundry room to wash my new jeans (can I hear a shout out for new jeans!) and to sneak bites of cheesecake. (Had some left over from our hot date last night, and I totally didn’t want to share; please tell me that this doesn’t make me a terrible mother!)
. . . got a few more scrapbook pages done, and am even closer to having Gus’ scrapbook caught up! That is HUGE in my book!
. . . kissed my husband (I found that as one of the items on my iPod to-do list; I think someone has been playing with MY iPod.)
. . . realized that not only did I get to have a date last night with my wonderful husband, but I get to have another one next weekend! (Two dates in one month! It’s usually a big deal, if we get one date in two months!)
. . . ate popcorn for dinner. (Mmmm. . . and easy!)
. . . enjoyed the day! (Just like saving a penny here and a nickel there eventually fills the piggy bank, some days have lots of little events that add up to a full heart. Today was one of those days!)

Ya for dates! This weekend I was so bummed cause we had a date last week and can’t really afford two in a month. I need to find me a book on cheap dates!
After medical school and residency, I might qualify as the queen of cheap dates…’cause if we were gonna have any dates at all they were CHEAP ones!
I’ll have to do a post on that soon – perfect preparation for Valentine’s Day!
