I didn't get to see Marie Antoinette on Friday because it didn't come out here in freaking Bowling Green! So Friday we watched Friends With Money, which was depressing. I do not recommend it. But Saturday night Shannon and I went to Nashville and saw it there. It was very colorful. I think I liked it. It made me want a cape. :) Although we were fairly certain that many of the other patrons did not know what happened to Marie and Louis because the movie ended before they lost their heads and they all seemed confused. I think that was the longest movie I've ever seen with that little dialogue. Does that make sense? There just wasn't much speaking happening. But you understand what's up and what they're thinking.
Saturday was also One Great Day, which is a thing our church does twice a year where members go out into the community in ugly orange shirts and help people. My group was working at BRASS (Barren River Area Safe Space) and we weeded (I don't do gardening) and mulched a playground area and also painted a gazebo. It was fun, but I left early so I didn't get to see the finished products. I was painting and even though we were outside, by the time I left I remembered why I'm not supposed to paint. My nose had started getting way funky and my throat hurt. Stupid allergies. But they are sooo much better than they were for the first 21 years or so of my life. Yay allergy shots and tonsil removal!! Anyway, last year only three members of our small group showed up and no shots of us made it into the slideshow at church the next morning. This year we had about 12 show up from our group! A shot of Amanda painting the gazebo made it in and I was kneeling in front of her, so the back of my head made it. Weirdly enough, my mother recognized it. I would have thought I would be the only one to recognize the back of my head. It made me strangely happy that she at least knows what I look like that much because she generally knows almost nothing about me. That was a poorly put together sentence. Anyway, my friend Jennie said my mom told her, "I know that hair!"
Sunday was our Groundbreaking for our new building, but I didn't get to go because a friend's sister was bringing me a washer and dryer at 3:30 and the thing was at 3:00. But I got a washer and dryer! And it was really cold out yesterday. But my dad said they had a pretty good turnout and it was nice.

It was really cold here, too. We did family portraits yesterday. They may be cheesy. Your mom always talks about your hair, so I am not surprised. Any thoughts on what you'd like for Christmas? I am still waiting for that post.
That was a really random post...you're a random person:-) Nick thought it was weird that we both wore blue sweaters at church yesterday. Which makes me worry that he pays absolutely no attention to me...when do I not wear blue?
