January's Long Weekend

On Saturday the Chief and I visited two of her sisters/my aunts. The one convalescing wasn't even at home when we stopped at her condo. The little hobbit was at K&W. When she got back, she was game to going to Chapel Hill with us. I love Chapel Thrill! It's the best town in North Carolina, the United States and the World. I played around in the arboretum and walked down the brick sidewalks. I checked out extremely expensive sweatshirts that I cannot afford, which led me down a depressing spiral. My mom helped when she told my aunt the hobbit: "Susan's bonus was more than Joy's salary." Awesome. Rub it in. I buoyed my emotions by thinking: I'm not coming back to my job next year. But I could replace my UNC hat that I lost white water rafting three years ago. Plus, I ate a guacamole taco and a steak taco at Armadillo Grill.

On Sunday MJ and I went to Renovatus' 11:30 service. Wow. I am so not a hipster (that I even use "hipster" verifies this statement). But, the testimony and sermon did tackle porn in a straight-forward way. I will give the church that. I was impressed with that.

I watched Country Strong with Gwyneth Paltrow. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. I liked it. It was definitely a chick flick-- there were three guys in the entire theater. It'd be a great place to pick up a girl for any single guy.

I discussed botox with several people. I got a resounding no from all parties-- and there was a range.

I made beef stew from the meat I bought from the local farm. I finished readingThe Hunger Games and Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I ran twice. I'm ready to go back to school.
