Squee!! Little House!!!

March 27th, 2005 at 04:15 am

I was estatic tonight when I checked the TV schedule and saw that the Little House on the Praire mini-series was starting tonight. I can't tell you how much I love Little House. My mom even named me after Laura - she and I both share brown hair and blue eyes. Smile I knew there was a new mini-series coming out soon, but didn't know when. Wow! I am so happy that I checked the TV schdeule tonight. It'll be on for the next 3 or 4 Saturday nights. Smile Smile Smile It was pretty good. I just loved it when Edwards showed up near the end - although I was just waiting for him to break out in "Old Man Tucker". I'm in high heaven!

I seriously debated about either calling or emailing my ex-bf and telling him about the Little House mini-series. He also really loves everything Little House. But I figured an email wouldn't get to him in time, and a phone call right now would be pretty awkward, so I decided not to. Yeah, he's doing that thing of taking forever to reply again. Wonder if it'll be three months again. Humpf!!

Last night I stayed up till nearly 3am reading (finishing the John Grisham book) and then I slept in till 10am. Then my friend Susie called me to remind me about the radio event we were going to. It was raining pretty much ever since Friday evening, but my umbrella was in my classroom. So anyway, she comes and picks me up about 11:30.

The radio event was really awesome. Deliilah (sp?) was there giving away free books and CD's and signing them. Yay! I listen to her program quite often in the evening. There were a lot of other booths giving away free stuff too. Then there were two guys who spoke about saving and investing money. They were pretty good, but it wasn't anything I didn't already know. Then there were the "Dueling Chefs." They made Creme' Bule' (sp?) and Ganche(sp?). Everyone got a sample of the Creme' Bule' - it was very very good. Next they had some ladies present their line of clothing which could be mixed and matched. Great idea, except that I wouldn't wear most of the patterns they had, and it would have been WAY expensive. They said that it averaged out to about $45 a look, and that there were about 250 different possible looks. The next presenter was this lady from the YMCA who did a mini-Pilate's class. That was pretty good. The last speaker was Delialah. She was really good and funny. She spoke about her kids and she spoke about a new project she started a few years ago in Ghana, Africa in a refuge camp.
It really was a nice way to spend the afternoon, and all for free. Smile

When I got home I was really really hungry because I hadn't really eaten anything all day. I was majorly craving a Schlotsky's sandwich. So I stopped at Kroger's and got a few groceries (and picked up some more Morningstar, they were still on a good sale) then got my Schlotsky's sandwich to go. Mmm mmm good (although pretty expensive!).

I finally did a majorly needed trash run tonight, and ran the dishwasher so I have some dishes to eat on again. Smile My dad is coming sometime tomorrow. I probably ought to call Grandma and find out when he left and if he has a phone. I wonder if Ryan told him about Mom getting married again. I wonder how long it will take him to find a place to live (other than here). I did some more searching last night and found a few more possibilities - even a few rental houses.

My Easter Sunday is going to mainly consist of doing laundry and lesson plans and getting ready for my new little boy.
Ok, now I think I'll be off to read my new book I got for free today. Smile

Spending Log:
Schlotsky's: $6.29 (sandwich)
Kroger's: $21.30

Keeping It Frugal in Texas,
Laura
