so here's your holiday..

It feels weird not to have blogged all weekend.. I had such a full weekend too. Hair did and work crawfish boil Saturday..oh and in between those 2 things, lots of apartment cleanting. Sunday, brunch at the Myrtles, Angola Rodeo, and kid time with pizza..I was so exhausted last night. It was the first time I've ever gone to the rodeo..it wasn't what I was expecting at all. The only reason we wanted to go was to see all of the crafts that the prisoners made..and dang they are very talented. There were sooo mannny crafts..rocking chairs, paintings, jewelery, purses, earrings (I should have bought some, they were very cute) and the list goes on..I bought a swamp painting, which was the exact thing I was hoping to purchase. The prisoners all stand in a big caged area, yelling out prices of things you are looking at. When I saw the painting, one of them yelled out $50..well I talked him down to $35. I think I could have gotten it for less, but I'm a sucker. and he was a really nice guy (wellll..he seemed that way..he's in that prison for a reason!). I saw this awesome wolf picture that I really wanted, but I couldn't get the guy that made it to go down below $40. And I wasn't about to pay that. Although, in real life it would have probably been about $80. But this is prison! I wasn't scared or nervous of the prisoners..I almost felt drawn to them..or maybe I was just feeling nosy. It was so sad to see them just hanging on the fence staring at everyone that passed by. Then again, they are there for a REASON. But! Jesus still loves them.

Tonight after I cooked dinner (which was a lasagna conglomeration..wheat noodles with ground turkey and sauce, baked in the oven yum!) I made an awesome zucchini bread..I just used the Paula Dean recipe and it turned out awesome! I didn't put all of the sugar..substituted the white flour for wheat, used a lot more zucchini than was called for, and threw plenty of pecans in there. I made some in a muffin pan, which will make them easy to grab for breakfast.

Today I found out that one of our past patients passed away :[ I hate that. Especially the ones that are unexpected. All I can do now is pray for the family..

Have I rambled on for long enough?? I think so!

PS- If anyone knows of anyone that is looking for a roommate, please let me know! Ethan is looking for a roommate.
