mother blessing

I finished the two big walls in Jane’s bedroom today – the new color looks awesome, and I hope I’ll be able to see it with the new carpet, too.
Jane had friends over for a mother blessing (similar to a baby-shower), and the food looked oh-so-tempting even though I’m not even hungry – it’s definitely mental exercise.

With the exception of Jane, we all drove into town to pick out movies and buy meat for curry. We had four of us involved in the decision-making process, we wound up with four different DVDs, got up to the counter and then found out it was cheaper to rent six – so we now have a lot of movie-watching ahead of us.

The afternoon was taken up with an exercise class, a sauna and a spa. Dinner was vegetable juice for me, Dean and the doctor, and lamb leftovers for Jane and Oceana. We watched In Good Company (not that great) and Garden State (one of my favorites) after dinner.
