what a weekend!

what a weekend!

And it’s not over yet! :-) We have had a really busy yet fulfilling weekend! Yesterday evening Paul and I went to see Prince Caspian. More on that later, but we loved it! :-) Then today I woke up early to help our friends move to their new house! Let me say, we LOVE their new house. Paul and I helped them move a few loads last week, and we both commented after we left that it was exactly the…

stereotypes abound

stereotypes abound

So let me tell you a story. There is this person I have been interacting with recently. Let’s call her Patty.

my name is Ashley and I'm an internetaholic

So just HOW addicted to the internet has become more apparent in the past few days. Our wonderfully incompetent cable company decided to do some “upgrades” to the cable internet, which has brought our internet down. They of course are “confused” why we’re not getting internet, so they’re sending someone out tomorrow to come fix it hopefully. Right now, I am at the library taking advantage of our county’s free WiFi – hooray! Let’s just say that not having internet…
