saturdays are giving me the blahs

another saturday, another blah day.  i know i should be looking at these saturdays between football season (when we have games every week) and baseball season (when we sometimes have six games on a saturday) as a time to be productive and accomplish something, but i have definitely been bored.  the highlight of today was caroline putting together our new exercise bike.  she did a great job--doing 98 percent of the work and craig helped her with the other two percent.  thank you!  i'm excited to use it.

i took caroline driving in the morning.  we got a good 1 1/2 hours in.  we drove to ogden and visited two of my favorite stores:  the needlepoint joint and the shepherd's bush.  then we stopped at target and got 13 more cases of coke zero, which was on sale ridiculously cheap.  we arrived home in time to watch byu play at the pit in new mexico.  as is often the case, so much energy and emotion was put into beating sdsu this week, we lost to nmu--a major contributor to the blahs.

the boys were somewhat productive, delivering salt, going to basketball practice, doing a food drive (sam did this for school and collected over 200 lbs. of food for the food pantry) and craig prepared his sunday school lesson.

craig and i went to a movie tonight.  we saw "the way out" a story about some prisoners who escaped from a siberian prison and walked to india.  on a scale, i enjoyed it more than i didn't, but we did have to watch a lot of walking.  and dying.  i was glad when they finally got to india.  some of the prisoners in the movie were polish as it takes place at the beginning of world war two, so then i dreamed we were harboring poles.  what an exciting life we lead.
