My Mom and I took a little trip up to the 5th most toothless state! We drove up Tuesday evening and returned this afternoon. It was a really great time, and I finally got to see my sisters abode. They are right on the lake in a little house that they’re fixin’ up. Took us about 4 hours to get up there, but the drive really wasnt too bad. Mom and I listened to a book on tape, and I had a the ipod loaded up with good tunes that my mom and I both like, an eclectid mix of Talking Heads, Frank Sinatra, Dire Straits, and praise & worship songs! Among our Maine adventures were shopping, eating out, story telling, touring prefabricated homes, snowmobiling, movie watching, cat petting, and moxie drinking. It was a great trip!

Last night I attended a Napoleon Dynamite viewing at the Woods place. It was a sweeeet time. We had tots and did glamor shots! Becky & Peter were awesome hosts, and was fun to watch the movie with a crowd of enthusiasts.

I enjoyed a good Valentines day First, I had it off, which is always nice. Ben had most of it off too, so we just had a nice, leisurely day together. Then we had a young life Valentines night which was really a ton of fun. Then I got back into school and had little (and big) kid’s valentines waiting for me. Overall, a fun holiday for kids, but I’m not too into it as an adult. We are not really the buy-clocolates-and-have-to-go-out-to-dinner kind of couple. Simple pleasures suit us, I guess. Right now Ben is reading to me The Great Divorce, by CS Lewis, which is good but kinda a deeper intelectual book than what i am used to. Anyhoo, off to read now!
