Goodbye

Last night, Bryan and I had to sadly say goodbye to an old, dear friend...

Jack Bauer!

It may sound silly, but we're both really sad that it will no longer be on TV. We have each one of the seasons on DVD, but it's no quite the same. Bryan loves watching football and "24" more than anything else on TV, but the thing about "24" that made Bryan truly happy, is that Bauer always defeats the bad guys. And you just can't say that about football...especially when it comes to the poor Aggies.

So, goodbye, Jack. We love you.

Question...

What happens when dear friends of the family ask an innocent pregnant lady if she would like to buy Girl Scout Cookies?

She buys 4 boxes!! This isn't even all of the cookies either--the Thin Mints are in the pantry, (I didn't want them to effect the flavor of the other cookies!).

In my defense, I supported our friends' adorable little daughter. And I read that chocolate and carbs are good for the baby!!

I also bought a box from the nice crossing guard at Sarah's school (his granddaughter). So, for those of you counting, yes, that's 5 boxes! I just can't help myself when it comes to these once a year treats! Don't worry, I'll pack some in Bryan and Sarah's lunches too!

Cards

I love cards. And I really love giving cards for no reason at all, just to let someone know I'm thinking of them. (Bryan has two boxes completely full of cards I've bought and made him over the course of our relationship!) So last night after reading the Bible to Sarah and turning off her light, I decided to make a little card for both of them. Hopefully, it will bring a smile to their faces!

Sarah's card will be tucked into her lunch box today next to her sandwich and grapes. And Bryan's card will be waiting on his desk when he gets home this morning...next to his Heisman figure that Sarah painted for him a couple of years ago!

Mandarin Oranges

Last night as one of the sides for dinner, I made a simple fruit salad. One of the fruits I added, (much to my own dismay), was Mandarin Oranges. Bryan and Sarah love them, and I cannot stand them. But, to be a good wife and mom, I buy them. Sarah kept asking me why I don't like them, and all I could say was, "I just think they taste yucky." So Sarah told me to try one, and I simply replied, "Nope." Then she went in for the kill and added, "But Mommy, you always make me try different foods!" What was I supposed to say to that?! She trapped me! I had no other choice but to eat one because I didn't want to get caught in the ol' do as I say, not as I do dilemma. Although the Mandarin Orange was still yucky to me, I was proud of myself! And I think Sarah was proud of me too! : )
