Catching up!

It's been a few days since my last post and I have no real good reason why.... I mean, I'm busy, but I could have sat down to type something up.  Nothing was blog worthy, but now that I have a few minutes, I thought I would catch you all up on what's going on.

This weekend was great since we were able to spend it at home!  Jesse was home sick on Friday, so most of the weekend was spent taking care of him and watching movies.  I have my first draft of my lit review for my research paper due this Sunday (which I was able to START on this past weekend)  I'm only about 2 pages in, so I've got a long way to go.  We did get to see some great movies though.  We watched The Proposal which was cute and a must see!  We also watched Lies & Illusions which was the worst movie we've ever seen a very odd movie to say the least. State of Play was the other one we watched and it was ok, not my favorite, and not my least favorite.

Other than that, Saturday, hubby drug me kicking and screaming took me to a speaker competition.... Yes, I said speaker competition.  More on that in a later post, but really, it wasn't that bad.  It was quite humorous and fun to see how creative people are when it comes to building speakers that sound really great.  It's hubby's new found passion in his free time.  He's working on a new project for our movie theater room, so I'll have to show pictures of that soon as well! 

I'm currently loathing my research class.... It's got to be the most waste of time class I have ever taken.  There is so much busy work.  AND get this, the research project we are putting together, well we aren't even following through with the research (or at least we aren't required to and since I'm not currently working in a school, it's quite difficult to do so).  So, I'm going along, doing whats required of us, but not really learning a damn thing in the process... I keep thinking only 7 more weeks to go and I'm finished with the class!!! (I wish it seemed like a short amount of time!)

I'm having a crap-tastic week, I can't really share a lot of the happenings, but just know that I could use some prayers to help fix things... 

I'm excited for this weekend, it's our biggest annual fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters called Bowl for Kids Sake.  Hubby and I are bowling with two of my co-workers, Angie & Katie.  We've raised our money and now we are ready to celebrate!  We'll be bowling, enjoying food, hopefully some prizes and just having fun.  Afterwords, my parents are coming to visit and go out to dinner with us.  I haven't decided on a place yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something! :-) I'll be working on my lit-review the rest of the week/weekend, so no other fun will be had!

Lastly, I just want you all to know that there's only 66 days until Christmas!!! I'm very excited, can you tell?  Although, I'm also almost as equally excited for Thanksgiving when both sides of our families will join us for a home cooked meal by ME!  Yeahhh!! 

I hope everyone is having a crappy week like me great week! (No really, I hope it's better than mine!)
