happy 60th!

i really need to get with the program. i'm averaging less than one post a month. just sad. i guess i just haven't felt like i've had much to share. life, these days, feels mostly like i'm just going through the motions. each month is a repeat of the month before. so, i haven't felt like there was much that was worth sharing. i will be attempting to update much more frequently. we'll see how that goes.


this past weekend was great. we got to spend time with the fam. my mom's 60th birthday was saturday (happy birthday, momma!!!) & the whole family went to the olive garden to celebrate. it was chaotic, but we had a blast. i'm pretty sure mom had a good time. her best friend, carol, came down from memphis for the big celebration. plus, anna kate (now 3) & rachel (not quite 5) kept things exciting. they had so much fun playing together, even though we vetoed anna kate's vote to eat at mcdonald's - you know, where there's a playground. ha! they managed to occupy themselves in a real restaurant. rachel, of course, had to use the bathroom right when the food came out. i volunteered to take her, and ended up fielding a million questions, e.g. why is that music playing in the bathroom?, there's soap in THAT?, how are little kids supposed to know that's where the soap is?, etc. she made it worth it, though, because when we were on our way to the restroom, she said, "re re, you look beautiful tonight." so, needless to say, i didn't mind answering every question she threw my way. anyway, it was a great night. we really should start planning family nights more regularly.
