In the Past Week

• I felt the Baby move for the first time! It was sooo cool. Starla or anyone else who works in the medical profession, please don't tell me that's not possible, because I did and it wasn't just gas. :)
  
• Natalie and I attended a funeral for a good brother in our ward. Other than President Hinckley's, it was Natalie's first time going to an LDS funeral. I've probably been to a million. I guess people don't die in Georgia. Maybe that's another good reason to move there.
• I played tennis for the first time in a very long time. Totally wailed on the EQP who lives in the apartment above us. I think he was letting me feel good and he'll wallop me the next time we play.
• I lost my right contact twice, but recovered it once. When I went to put them in one morning, the right one had vanished. I checked everywhere, including my eyeball, but to no avail.
• I went to the hospital...for an interview, not an injury.
• Discovered that Starburst makes two varieties of jelly beans. There's the original flavors bag and now the Tropical bag, including some pretty sweet flavors like mango melon.
• Had my first Cabela's experience. Too bad I was on the clock an in a hurry. I pretty much went in, found the super-sonic earplugs my boss needed for a gig (yes, I still don't have a really real job) and was on my way. But I'll go back again some day...thumpedy thump thump...look at Jackie go.
• Bought the Nancy Drew DVD, which I love, and I defy anyone who thinks I'm a sissy for.
• While we were doing the dishes together one night I started singing the third verse of The Star Spangled Banner. I thought it was funny Natalie had never heard those words. She thought it was funny I have them memorized. If you've been deprived of knowing the full song, click here, or look up Hymn #336 in the LDS hymnal. The third stanza of the original poem is not included in the hymn book. (This is a pic I took of the replica of the original Star Spangled Banner now flying at Fort McHenry in Baltimore).
  
• They installed a stop light at the top of the freeway on-ramp next to our place. I think this is a complete waste because the lane doesn't merge, but becomes an exit-only lane for the next exit. Silly.
