Let the Week End

It was a long, hard week. And so I thank heaven that every week has an end. And this week's end was good.

Friday:

My younger sister went to a high school dance, Morp. Disco style. Her friends and their dates let me be their photographer. We used a disco ball as a prop and we blasted Abba and The Bee Gees in the background. Too fun. Check back for pictures from the shoot... tomorrow or the next day.

And then, I watched one of my favorite movies. It might be my only favorite. Stranger Than Ficition. I'm not really sure why I love this movie so much. It might be the intelligent wit. Or maybe it is the beautiful bakery that Maggie Gyllenhaal owns. Or maybe it is the literary humor. Or maybe it's the wristwatch.

And I ate chocolate peanut butter ice cream from Baskin Robbins. Bliss.

Saturday:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Draper Temple Open House. Learn more. And more. And more.


And at night, I went to a Brazilian dinner party hosted by a good friend. The food was too awesome. They served a rice and beans dish with collard greens and a type of sausage. There is an official name for the dish, but I don't know it (and wouldn't be able to pronounce it if I did).

And even later (as in the middle of the night), I made a polka-dot blueberry pie. For Pi Day. 3.14. March 14th. 3/14. I've made pie on every Pi Day for the last four years. I didn't get home from the dinner party until late, so I didn't start baking until even later. The pie didn't get in the oven until after Pi Day was over. But I'm still counting it as my Pi Day pie.


Now, the pie is in the oven. And I'm just lovin' that it's the weekend.
