This and That

This weekend was good for the soul. We were quite productive. Friday night we went out to eat BBQ with Dac's brother and sister. We went on a little driving tour and I purchased a new read. The book is super cute and I just had to have it. =) Then, we stopped for ice cream on the way home.

Saturday, we woke up and got right to work. We took our piles and piles of recyclables to the drop off, took tons of bags of clothes to the Salvation Army, and took some old pipes and stuff to the metal recycling place - even landed ourselves $30 for that. =) The house is like a whole new place now! Then we got ready and headed to Pitt for a fun engagement session! We had a really good time and I'm hoping we got some great pictures to show for it. We stopped at McDonald's in Independence on the way back to grab some chow at around 9 p.m. This McDonald's was seriously W.T. (That's white trash people). It. Was. Horrible. I don't think I've ever left a restaurant so mad in all my life.

Yesterday was church, pizza, and lots of house cleaning and laundry. Still lots of cleaning to do, but I did get a few heavier cleaning-type things done so I feel good about it. =) I even took a nap - and when I woke up I had my Scentsy order waiting for me on the porch. Hallelujah, I love me some Sugar Cookie Scentsy people. Mmm Mmm good! Speaking of Scentsy - a blogger I follow is hosting a giveaway for a plug-in warmer AND a bar.

In other news, Osama Bin Laden is apparently dead, as I'm sure you've probably all heard by now. I'm certainly glad that he personally is not a threat anymore. Unfortunately, his ideals live on in many others. I'll tell you what else is unfortunate... this justice does not bring back the lives that have been lost due to his heinous acts of terrorism or those lost in the hunt for him and for those like him. I find myself a bit torn. I'm definitely no softy when it comes to criminals and I do not oppose war or the death penalty. I do, however, find it hard to truly rejoice in a death. I think that kind of misses the big picture not to mention it doesn't really do any good. Anyway, there's my two cents. I'm still glad the hunt is over and I'm grateful for all the work and sacrifice that our armed forces have done to make it possible. Here's praying they all stay safe and that the war on terror can end soon.
