Xena defending herself against an attack pillow.....

This was the final pillow on the living room couch. I am confident that the pillow provoked Xena, in some fashion

Deer Steak Dinner with friends

We finally invited Kyle and Julie over to our house for dinner and drinks. We have been friends for so long now, but we always seem to end up at their house or in Raleigh since there really isn't must to do in Creedmoor.

So, we decided that we were going to cook for them. Matt made deer steaks on the grill (tenderloin and backstrap) both of which was awesome! I made the salad and baked potatoes for sides.

We has a great time with great friends!

Memorial Service for Kemp Edwards

Church service and Bible study this morning, El Rio for lunch, dropped Boy off at work. This afternoon we attended the memorial service for Kemp Edwards. He was the Supervisor of Recreation where I work. On Wednesday, he shot himself. We have since learned that he was suffering from Depression for many years. The memorial service was a wonderful reminder of who he was and what was important to him: God, church, family, friends. It was very well attended by people who knew and loved him for the wonderful person he was, not for how he died. You will be missed Kemp.

Mike's 40th Birthday party

Spent the day at work....yuck!!!! My neighbor Kim threw a surprise 40th birthday party for her husband....Luau theme! There was a DJ and plenty to eat! I had a great time!

Decided to re-pierce my tongue!

After dinner tonight, I headed over to Blue Flame Tattoo shop because I wanted to have my tongue re-pierced. Years ago I had it done, but since then I let it close up. During this past summer, I stopped in to the local tattoo/piercing shop in Butner and had them do it...... Bad decision..... the piercer hit something and I bled like a stuck pig! I left there with a bloody tongue, not pierced. Fast forward to now...... I explained to the piercer at Blue Flame what my previous experience was..... he listened and explained what he was going to do and voila! Pierced tongue - no blood! He was awesome!!!!!

A note from Christian

When I came home from work this afternoon, I opened up my laptop computer and found a note sitting on the keyboard. I read the note and thought Matt left it for me. So, when Matt called I mentioned that I got his note.... he did not know what I was talking about..... and then it dawned on me..... Christian wrote the note and left it for me to find!!!! He is the sweetest kid!!!!
