Girls night anyone?
So Carolyn and I have decided that we need to have a girls night. A night where we can chill without toting adorable babies and to have a bit of a break. So I'm proposing a girls night next week on Tuesday or Wednesday around 8:30 at my house. I suggested watching While You Were Sleeping, but I'm totally up for other options. Also, I figured a big pan of brownies or cookies need to be around. Or ice cream. So, this is the question I need you to answer:
Tuesday or Wednesday?
Which movie?
Okay, so that was two questions. Let me know!! It'll be fun to party!

Lover's Quarrel
Lauren (thinking about her potential new Christmas dress): So did you like it?
Jesse (thinking about his recently eaten dinner): yeah, hun, it was great.
Lauren: But you didn't love it?
Jesse (relatively exasperated): I liked it.
Lauren (frustrated): But you didn't love it.
Jesse (confused as to why Lauren is getting angry about how he liked dinner): It wasn't the best, but it was still good.
Lauren (saddened): Why didn't you like it?
Jesse (ultra-exasperated): Why does it matter??
Lauren: Because I want you to like it! I want you to be excited about it!
Jesse: You wanted me to be excited about it? WHY?
Lauren: Because! How can I be excited about it if you're not! I'll just feel stupid!
Jesse (in raised voice): You'll feel stupid? Lauren, I said I liked it. Okay? It was good for a dinner, okay? It wasn't the best, but it was still good.
Lauren: (Stupor of thought)
Jesse: What?
Lauren: I was talking about the dress! Not dinner! What made you think we were talking about dinner?!
The End
I believe this is proof that men have a one-track mind.

I'm grateful for...
Random acts of kindness.
I should have taken pictures. I really should have. We had THIRTEEN huge stuffed bags of leaves on our front lawn today. It took us 3 1/2 hours to get them all gathered up and into bags. We've been gone for the last several weekends and Jesse's life has been too crazy to help me, but today we decided that they had to be done. When we had almost finished, we were staring at the overflowing black marshmallows of leaves when a guy who was cleaning up the leaves at his father's house next door came over. Well, rather he backed up his truck and said, "Hey, why don't you just throw those bags in! We're on our way to the compost site. Just throw them in and I'll take them." I was shocked. Fortunately, and yet unfortuately, this is the one of the first acts of kindness we've received from anyone in the neighborhood (we're STUDENTS, therefore we're shunned). After we threw the bags in, I ran in to check on Abby and came back out to find the guy cleaning up the rest of the leaves/rosebush clippings on the side of my house. I asked what we could do to pay him back and he just waved his hand and with a big smile said, "Nothing." I'm so grateful that he was willing to help us. He probably has no idea how much it helped us. Thank you to that man. And thank you to anyone who has the bravery to help a stranger!
