I had a great and relaxing long weekend. We saw two movies… Sabrina had practice twice. And I read a couple of books. Made a crock-pot meal for the AllRecipes AllStars Program took a picture and reviewed it. We went to church. If you want more details read below….
Friday… We didn’t do much because Sabrina was going to have practice early Saturday morning.
Saturday… Sabrina had practice from 8:00am to 2:00pm for Winter Guard and then had a parent preview at 3:00pm for all of the family members since the practices have been closed and we haven’t been able to see their program yet. It was great and they have been working so hard. They still have a little more to work on but they look so much better than what they did for marching band. Their show is titled “Fix You” and is about child abuse awareness. After practice and the parent preview, we went home and ate my AllRecipes AllStar crock-pot meal. I made Slowly Deviled Beef on egg noodles and it turned out pretty good. It needed something but couldn’t figure out what… You can find the recipe here… http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slowly-deviled-beef/Detail.aspx. After dinner, we ran some errands. After our errands, we went and saw the new movie Joyful Noise. We actually really liked this movie. Great music!!! I actually had to cover Sabrina’s mouth a couple of times so that she wouldn’t start singing right along with them…
Sunday… We got up and went to church. I have to say that I absolutely love our church. I feel a sense of calm when I walk in and it tends to last me until we go back the next Sunday. People at work have noticed a change in me as well so I attribute it to this church and having GOD in my life. Please see below regarding our DO SOMETHING NOW for January 2012. After church, we went to a great lunch at Red Lobster where we ate way too much and will have to make up for it this week. After lunch we went and saw our second movie of the weekend…. You need to remember I have a girl. And growing up it was all about princesses so we went and saw Beauty and the Beast 3D. They did a great job on the 3D part of it and Beauty and the Beast is probably my favorite princess Disney movie. We went home after the movie and spent the night watching and catching up on our shows… Sunday nights are Once upon A Time and Guy & Rachel Celebrity Cook Off.
Monday… Our original plan was to go to the Indiana State Museum and the Fogo de Choa for dinner but plans fell through because of Color Guard practice…. So we revised them to just run errands but those fell through as well because Sabrina’s dad wanted to see her so I just went over to Mia’s and watched Water for Elephants. Wow what a movie. I am not saying it should be up for an Oscar but there were some parts I was like “Oh my God is this really happening”.
Today…. (Tuesday January 17, 2012) I am taking my child and signing her up for Drivers Education… I can’t believe I have a child that is almost old enough to drive.
Now back to the DO SOMETHING NOW at my church….
Malaria is a preventable, treatable disease, yet a child dies of malaria is not treated and cerebral malaria develops in as quickly as two days. Once this happens, a child can slip into a coma and eventually die. Families in poverty need help dealing with this potentially fatal disease. Many cannot afford insecticide-treated mosquito nets or medical treatment. This is where you can help. Make a difference by purchasing a mosquito net for $10.00.
