I’m home alone this evening- the second of two while Marcel is off working. I had big plans of how I was going to spend my time, but somewhere I lost track and two hours have passed and I’m not sure where they went.
Well, I shouldn’t say that I’m not sure where they went, because I’ve been trying to play ‘catch-up’ because I haven’t spent that much time online lately, and while I’ve made some progress, I’m still not fully caught up with emails- but there’s tomorrow.
I did make tenative plans to meet up with an old friend from High School who will be in the area for a layover while headed with a group of six for a missions trip. I’m excited about meeting up with them and showing them around a little. I’ll find out more details later this week.
I also made plans to meet up with my friend Vivi who lives several hours away. We’ve been talking about getting together for a while, but our schedules haven’t allowed- but we’ve finally been able to work something out. I’m looking forward to it. Even though we’ve only met once, I really like her and I know we’ll have a blast.
Since I’m talking about travels- and friends- I’m on the countdown until Samantha arrives for her trip. Just a little over three weeks and she’ll be headed this way. I can’t wait!! I’ve been planning and plotting, and I hope to make this trip not only special but memorable for her. I love visitors from home!!
Since it’s getting late, I guess I should drink a glass of milk and go curl up on the couch and watch a little television. That shouldn’t take long to lull me into sleep.
Tomorrow, I’ve promised to make some of Marcel’s favorites for dinner. Homemade fried chicken breast strips, italian seasoned breaded zucchini, and potatoes. I know- it isn’t exactly what I’d call ‘healthy’ but he’s been asking for a while, and I decided that tomorrow I’d make it for him. The moment I told him, his face lit up with excitement- and that makes it all worth the effort of cooking two meals. I’ll stick to baked chicken with fresh zucchini, mushrooms, peppers and grape tomatoes. YUM!
