OK, Ashley isn't that noisy, but it sure is quiet this weekend with her away! Last night Dan and I went to this great restaurant that a friend, Susan Callahan, introduced me to this week. Thanks, Sue! It was good that she mentioned there is a man there who gives hugs because I would have freaked out as he came toward me. He hugs everyone - even a crusty, scary looking motorcycle guy seated at the bar. There was a wedding rehearsal dinner going on, families munching on pizza, and all in all it is a great experience. It is an Italian restaurant called Capazolli's. Yummy.
Today I got to sleep in, had a pedicure and went to church. They began a new summer series on the book of Ruth and it was very good. Pastor Chris referred to it as a "summer chick flick" and lamented that no one gets blown up or fights, but he was drawn into the story of Ruth, Naomi and Orpah. Did you know that Oprah was to be named Orpah from the Bible, but her mother misspelled it on the birth certificate? Just some trivia to bring you up-to-date.
Now, got to figure out who will go see Eat Pray Love with me tomorrow. Dan said he's had enough of a summer check flick already this weekend. Maybe I'll take a page out of Carrie's book and go by myself! Probably just women there anyway . . .
