Movies and Books

Today, Andrew and I are going to see The Lorax and John Carter. We're going to the drive-in! The best part about the drive-in is the old commercials they play when they are telling you to go get snacks at the concession.

I ordered a book on Amazon last night. It's called: Mrs. Dunwoody's Excellent Instructions for Homekeeping: Timeless Wisdom and Practical Advice. The book description says: "Mrs. Dunwoody is a character based off of the author's great grandmother and other traditional Southern woman who believe in the importance of making a house a home." I saw it being read by a girl in another blog and thought, "Oh, my! I  H A V E to get this book!" There's timeless classics in this book. It goes from the way to choosing a spouse, proper etiquette, throwing parties, cooking and cleaning. It's pretty much a how-to guide on keeping your house a home. It will be perfect for me for when I get married. Good thing to start now, eh?

Andrew and I started last night reading the bible together. We're doing the bible in a year thing. We started yesterday so we're a little backed up, but hopefully by the end of the year we'll be caught up. We read 2 Kings 1-4. It was kinda funny in a disturbing kind of way.

Mom has been gone since Monday. She's in Birmingham, Alabama with my godsister, Judy. Judith is hopefully going to be accepted into the Poor Clares (specifically Mother Angelica's order). I've been babysitting all 4 of the kids all week. It's been an interesting week of playing the role of mother. Never thought I'd see me doing that until my own kids but it's okay.

OH! I bought a bunny. Her name is Lucy. She's the sweetest thing and loves you to hold her. I will be posting a picture soon!

Anyway, must eat some breakfast!
