We had a giant weekend. We hosted 3 big events at the house including bible study on Friday night (which includes a meal and the requisite clean up), International Food Night (homemade Korean gala dinner for 8), and a Super Bowl party on Sunday that had the house maxing out. Just finishing the grocery shopping for those 3 events tired me out on Friday!

It was all good -- it's a blast to have a house that can handle entertaining and I've grown to love it. That said -- I'm still recovering. I find that I just wear out a bit more quickly than usual since completing treatment. I can do a lot and go, go, go...but then I stop, stop, stop. I just don't have quite the stamina of yesteryear -- at least not yet.

It's awfully cold here these days -- getting out of the electric blanket in the mornings is brutal. I'm looking forward to cuddling up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket and watching Ellen on AmericanIdol tonight. Can't believe it, but it's true. I need some veg out time and Hollywood Week is just what I need.

Tomorrow I'm supervising Christopher's battle of the books team at District, where they'll compete against about 50 teams from North Anchorage. The Chugach 5th/6th teams competed and took 2nd and 3rd at District for their age group. This has Christopher feeling a lot of pride for his Wish him luck! Then it will be moving on and trying to find the next big set of books to get his attention and exhilaration.
