weekend update

here are some odds and ends some meaningful-
most not; from our life.

for those of you hoping that this post will top in funniness that of SNL's weekend update;
please don't hold your breath. we don't want anyone dying while reading this here blog.

:: jennifer, charles' sister is coming to visit us next weekend. it will be my first time meeting her in person.
:: last weekend, i planted some perennials that lori split for me. i'm very grateful.
:: i've been reading some stanley hauerwas and some jean lasserre. i find them interesting.
:: i was excited to hear that john ashcroft** was resigning. my verdict is still out on the new appointee.
:: i was going to put something in here about yassir arafat. but... [edited for the use of better judgement and trying not to say inappropriate things].
:: my mom just used the phrase "bigger than mrs. billy be damned" to describe an annoying parent in her class. classic.
:: i'm a scratching my head over an article in harpers weekly on how the partial birth abortion ban came into law.
:: i'm looking forward to our last weekend of peace prior to all hell breaking loose in holiday mayhem.
:: sunday is international day of prayer for the persecuted church. isn't it weird that we need a day alloted for such things?
:: i got refused [to donate blood] by the american red cross for being married to charles (b/c he's nigerian). i have mixed emotions about it. i'm kinda pissed.



** i should note that the article has made me further investigate j. ashcroft's role in keeping the law. a new found appreciation for the man i have previously disliked.
