– QUOTE OF THE WEEK –
A lot of people say to me, ‘Why did you kill Christ?’ ‘I dunno… it was one of those parties, got out of hand, you know.’

Had a nice visit with Lisa this weekend. Coffee, hookie, Indian food, mystery, party, church, and pizza. Last night, I saw the oscars and read about serial killers. Ewww. Last night it was snowy and lovely. But tonight Jess and I are meeting with Hallie.

– Howdy there. I haven’t felt much like blogging this week. Next week will be more like normal around here.
