Well I don’t have any hot topics to deal with this morning, so I thought I would just write about what’s going on this weekend.
Today I’m pretty much taking care of the domestics. Since Katy has the career right now, I’m taking care of the other stuff, such as: laundry, dishes, cleaning, and vacuuming. I don’t mind doing this sort of work…it’s a little therapeutic for me, plus, I know Katy appreciates that sort of thing, so I can chalk up some points in the “helping out” category (it’s always important to keep score in a marriage).
Katy and I are also going to my niece’s first birthday party tomorrow afternoon. She’s turned out to be quite the cutie-pie, but what in the world do you get a one-year-old for her birthday? Monogramed diapers? A year’s supply of Cheerios? Let’s face it–Finley’s not going to know what the heck is going on anyways. I’m reminded of an old bit Jerry Seinfeld used to do, comparing a person’s first birthday and last birthday. You’re oblivious to what’s going on, your family invites people over and tell you they’re your friends, etc. I have to agree on this observation. But I’m sure we’ll have a blast.
The only thing is, we need to get back home by 8pm so I don’t miss the Cowboys game. I know these pre-season usually aren’t very exciting, but I’m hoping to get to see my long lost cousin play a few downs. Now that I’ve moved to the metroplex, I feel the obligation (and desire) to purify my loyalty and devotion to the Dallas teams. I’ve always liked the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, and Stars, but living in Abilene caused me to be a little wish-washy in team spirit. Especially when all my friends were Spurs fanatics. So, now that I’ve relocated, I’m pretty excited about watching the Cowboys again, getting to see every Ranger game that I want (though there’s not much to see right now), and eagerly awaiting the next Mavericks and Stars seasons. Heck, I’m just glad hockey’s back. I know most everybody thinks it’s a ridiculously dumb sport, but ever since I went to my first Stars game at Reunion Arena, I’ve been a fan. I guess that’s what it takes. And I haven’t even been to the American Airlines Center yet! I can’t wait to go see the Mavs and Stars there! And I suppose I’ll get out to see the Rangers before they go off into the post-season and self-destruct.
The only other thing I’m planning on doing this weekend is test driving another church. I’m going to try for a really good one this week, so make sure and check back on Monday for Episode 3 of Church Visiting. Peace out.
