Friday afternoon

What's going on:
I am making bbq chicken, sauteed onions, corn, and mac and cheese. Nothin' green.

The kids are playing nicely in their room after an afternoon of screeching and squabling. They are making nice now that Daddy is on his way home. Maybe they overheard me tell him on the phone that they were driving me nuts, and now they are conspiring to make me look crazy. Lately, I guess I have not needed any help in that area.

I sort of almost burnt the chicken and the kitchen was filled with smoke. So I opened the kitchen window and turned on the exhaust fan. Two things happened: Sprite came to the window and started bawling her head off (this cat does not meow, she cries!) and this petrified lizard that had been caught between the window and the screen for months (maybe a year?) fell out and into the kitchen sink. I have been avoiding that lizard for so long now, and then I was forced to deal with it. Couldn't just leave it in the kitchen sink. I've been cleaning all afternoon so I did not want something as unattractive as a sun-dried lizard in the sink when Dave came home.

We are watching Ike and wondering if we might be taking a trip to Grandma Jane's in KY this coming week. We'll have to wait and see. It seems that we will be likely to take a trip up there to escape a hurricane at some point this fall. We're always up for a road trip, but don't really want a hurricane to be the motivation for going.

I am headed out to a scrapbooking night tonight! Very much looking forward to that! I am going to scrapbook December of 2007, and I have some fantastic pink/green Christmas papers that I am going to use.

Anna is walking around chatting on the phone with her Uncle Coco (my bro. Cory). That girl loves to talk on the phone! She's just like her Nona Donna, she has to walk around the whole time she talks. Jonathan is in his room making some mad Lego creations. He is getting REALLY good! Not even 5, and he's already surpassed me.

After scrapbooking, I am going to come home and stay up late reading New Moon (the second Twilight series) book. I am halfway through and it has suddenly turned very suspenseful.
I keep thinking, if I were Bella, and if I had to choose between a vampire and a werewolf, who would I choose? The answer seems pretty obvious to me. Any out there read these books, and read this blog, and would like to tell me what you think?

Hope everyone has a fab. Friday evening!
