My weekend

I had Friday off from work which was amazing. I was able to finish my quilt top which just so happens to be slightly enormous and colorful like a circus. I may start on another top before I finish this one bcuz my brother has put in a request for one. I'll have to look through my fabric and see what I have that could even work. Friday afternoon I went to La James beauty school to get my hair done...and did not come out until four hours later. It was out of control. It always is. You have to devote half of your day to the process every time without fail. But I do have some sweet highlights to show for my afternoon in the barber's chair. Friday night I finally got to attend one of the dtc's java jazz events. It was a fun atmosphere and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Saturday morning I got coffee with my dad at one of the local hotspots and we got to have a good conversation about the state of the economy, politics, and the end of the world. We could talk for hours. Its sick, really. After that I headed downtown to the farmer's market and met up with the outreach group from church to help tear down. Its so sad that the farmers market is almost over, it is one of our city's best events in my opinion. After the market we grabbed some lunch at Lucca in the East Village. The building was really narrow and the walls were brick. yay. The food was amazing as well. Unfortunately my fun was ended as I had to go to work afterward. My weekends have been pretty much booked up with working. I get one weekend free the whole month of October. yay for me. And its next weekend during which time I will be making my way to Kansas City to help the ole bro and wife move. And I am so excited to take my latest garage sale purchase with me for use with Brockett my almost 5 mo. old nephew. I will include a pic of a similar model not nearly as cool as mine with the sweet boy scout patches sewn on it. And to think I got it for nothing! The lady asked me to take it off her hands. gladly.

saddest news of the week: Nick Reynolds, a member of the Kingston Trio died this last Wednesday. I have one of their records...ahh folk music, one of my many loves.

most disturbing news of the week: On a recent visit to the Des Moines Register, John McCain said and I quote, "I just want to make a comment about the obvious issue and that is the failure of Congress to act yesterday. Its just not acceptable. […] This is just a not acceptable situation. I’m not saying this is the perfect answer. If I were dictator, which I always aspire to be, I would write it a little bit differently. "

comic of the week: Baby Blues (its all about chin hairs...ya, ya, just trust me on this one)

song receiving most play time in my car: Everything's Gonna Be Alright-Joshua Radin

verse of the week: Psalm 33:18-22
