An Updating Update

I feel like I've been neglecting my blog lately...so here is an update about a little bit of everything random.

Last week I finished reading the comic book series, Preacher.  If you haven't read it, you should.  It's an "adult comic," so there is language and whatnot.  Josh and I had started reading it about six or seven years ago and never finished it.  Then, thanks to Josh's great luck, he made a trade of Magic cards for graphic novels and got the whole series (minus volume three, which we found at Half Price Books).

Yesterday, while I was at work, I answered the phone my usual way ("Thank you for calling Sam's Club, how can I help you?") and was greeted by the most adorable little girl voice who said, "Can I talk to my mommy?"  When I asked what department she worked in, the little girl said, "Sam's Club."  It was adorable.  Apparently, this sweet woman that works in tobacco has a seven-year-old who has learned how to read the caller ID and has memorized mommy's work number.

Last night, Josh and I watched Insidious.  I didn't want to, because, frankly, scary movies tend to be scary.  I like enjoyable movie experiences, not ones where all my muscles are tensed up and I'm forced to routinely check the closet for claw men until I go to sleep.  This movie was creepy for sure.  It was definitely one of the scariest movies I've seen.

Directly after watching Insidious, we watched three episodes of Teen Mom.  Needless to say, it was nearly as scary, but I felt much better.  Janelle is cray cray.

I got three extremely tiny tomatoes from my garden, quite awesome.

Wedding planning has begun.  My mom and I successfully purchased all the vintage postcards we needed the other day when we went to some South Congress antique stores.  The idea is to have all our guests write nice messages to us on the postcards.  Then, on Josh and I's first wedding anniversary, we'll read them all.  Also, I had dinner with my sister last week and she brought her stamping catalog (she's an avid scrapbooker and stamper and will be making the invitations).  She found the perfect stamp for the invitations.  It's two little birds with stick legs and a small heart in between.  She said as soon as she gets the stamp, she'll make a sample invitation, so I'll post a picture when I get it.

I'm going to pick up my new glasses today.  I hope I still like them.  I am very thankful to be back on my parent's insurance and have had a free eye exam and a free new pair of glasses.  Although, this doesn't mean I won't be ordering my super cheap glasses I love from Zenni Optical.

Tomorrow, I'll be going to Six Flags with my mom, sister, and two nephews.  Bring on the sweat and me pretending to be asleep on the way home so my nephews give me a break!

I worked out today with my EA Active Wii game.  I am so out of shape, I felt like passing out afterwards.  Must workout more often.

Josh and I are going to see 311 and Sublime (with Rome) this Sunday.  Nostalgia FTW!

I can't really think of anything else exciting right now (not that anything I mentioned was the least bit exciting to begin with).  I'm off to go pick up my glasses and maybe walk around Ikea.  I don't go to Round Rock too often and Ikea is about the only thing it has going for it.
