Lessons from Macy's

The girls spent last night at their grandparents house (Darin and I did not have any more advance notice-- I could have been fondly reminiscing about a date night last night- but no dice!) instead Darin watched Lethal Weapon movies while I slept on the couch! Sad for me because Mel Gibson is hot in those movies. But anyhow- back to my reason for blogging - I am not in my usual routine this morning, sans kids, so I am bumbling around the Internet and decided to shop for china at Macy's'! (as if I have the money, as if I entertain, as if I can put it anywhere, much less display it!-- but hey don't kill my dream!)
SO- digression aside while shopping I found this Did you know??--- Josiah Wedgwood (yes, that Wedgwood!!) was Charles Darwin grandfather!! Hmmm-- cool and interesting -- I don't agree with Darwinism-- but I like his granddaddy's china!!
I probably should get out more, but oh well!
Love to all,
Beth

Dain, Pantry, Macy's

How about that for an eclectic title!!

So Darin is out of town/state this week for an Intensives course for his Master's Degree. He is up at Liberty University, which he delighted in telling me was in a beautiful area of mountains in Virginia. I hope he gets to enjoy some of it when he is not in his 8 hour class days!
Sophia, however, decided that 10 minutes after he left was too long and has now set forth on calling for him every hour. Ava, apparently, is more accustomed except for that it is usually his cop car that is gone for the duration and this time it is his truck, I think it is confusing her.
I have big plans for this week-- I am cleaning out my pantry- there is way too much food in there that is going to waste because we are not and will not ever going to eat it. Darin would just as well throw out vegetables, but alas I say to him as I say to Ava "tough cookies".
Well there it is , my big plan -- yes I know that there is only one item on the list-but it is a pantry-- it is for my own desire for organization that I even want to do this- it is not because it is fun. Fun would be going to Macy's, not my pantry. (I should note that I will be going to Macy's as my reward IF I get this accomplished this week!) I will post my reward IF - I mean when I get it -- so feel free to hound me!!
