This weekend we went on a quadruple date with some friends. Dinosaur BBQ and a movie at the dollar theatre to see The Hunger Games. I thought they did a pretty good job with the movie, but of course I still like the book better. It was fun to compare how I saw things in my head to how it was represented on the screen. I may have done some matchmaking for a friend *smirks* so we’ll see if anything comes of that.

Ben is becoming increasingly talkative. I mean all.the.time. It’s really cute. And yet at the end of the day after he’s gone to bed, quiet time is wonderful too. He’s also becoming increasingly independent, opinionated and stubborn. Such a sweet boy, but he has his moments of toddler tantrums too. Of course, never for grandparents…always saves the testing for mom and dad ;-)

Andy cut the wood for the bookshelves in my office. He put a really pretty bevel on it called a Roman Ogee. I keep wanting to call it a Roman Orgy, but that is not correct, lol. My project for the week (who am I kidding, for this coming month…) is to sand, prime and paint the shelves so Andy can install them.

We hauled and stacked wood all last night. I am so sore but it’s a good ache. I listened to an audio book the whole time and Andy teased me. For some reason he finds the thought of listening to a recorded reading of a book, funny. This amusement may have come from the fact that the last recorded book I listened to was Twilight. Yes, I am 12.

I’ve finally broke the Dunkin Donuts iced coffee addiction and have started making myself a pitcher of coffee at night. Then I have ice cold coffee for a few days after and don’t have to buy anything. I even made coffee ice cubes per Danielle’s suggestion :)
