Stardust & deals

Hello all. I haven't blogged over the weekend, cuz we didn't do much. We skipped the balloon fest since Brian was studying very diligently the entire time! And, it was pretty dreary here anyway, so we didn't know if they'd have the balloons there anyway. After we went to see the movie Stardust on Friday, I had to read the book. I finished it on Saturday and I won't say this often but I liked the movie more than the book. The book was good, but the movie had more little details, which is usually the other way around. If you liked Princess Bride, you should like Stardust. I was smiling the whole movie. It just made me heart-happy.

Today I'm "pounding the pavement" in that I'm really getting into this whole job hunt thing. I've been a little bored not working, but on the other hand, I've kind of enjoyed being a housewife...our house is cleaner than ever before. (which is really saying something since we've just moved in.) And, I've been honing my cooking skills - I made homemade banana bread, which turned out to be quite tasty! I've also been working out with my new found freedom from work. The workout room at the complex is SUPER tiny, which would be awkward if someone else came in, but so far, it's just been me. (Thank goodness!!)

Brian emailed me after his first class - it went well. He'll probably blog about it later, so I don't want to steal any thunder with details.

And for any visitors coming out (Danny - I have to call you back!) if you stay at the Country Inn, you should say you're visiting a university student and you'll get a deal on a rate. And, they have a really good continental plus breakfast....other hotels may do it too, so it doesn't hurt to mention it.
