Ever wonder why people make these things? Me neither.

The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, Hello".
"Mrs. Ward, please." "Speaking."
"Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory.
When your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a
biopsy from another Mr. Ward arrived as well, and we are now uncertain
which one is your husband's. Frankly the results are either bad or
terrible." "What do you mean?" Mrs. Ward asks nervously.
"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the
other one tested positive for AIDS. We can't tell which is your
husband's." That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?" questioned
Mrs. Ward. "Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these
expensive tests one time."
"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off
somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep
with him.

Is it really truth that we seek, or just a sweet enough lie to settle
our minds so we can sleep at night?

I swear, it seems like only yesterday that I was trying to figure out what to get people for Christmas!

Anyway...It was a nice weekend with the girls. I didn't go to my night job on Friday, so that I could spend the time with them. We make homemade chicken alfredo which whole-wheat noodles, and salad with homemade Italian dressing. Saturday we sort of took as an easy day. We had a late brunch at Bob Evans, scooted up to a movie theater to see The Wild, a kids film, and then spent some time at a park. I chose a likely piece of mulch, and began a miniature penis sculpture with my pocket knife. I told the kids it was a fence post. We had dinner at Red Lobster (ooo, those cheesy biscuits!) and ice cream at Cold Stone.

Sunday we had a late brunch at Arni's. I had the "Big Daddy" sub, which was new for me. I don't usually get stuff which has barbecue sauce on it. This was turkey, ham, roast beef, diced tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, and barbecue. It was insanely tasty, and I'll have to have it again. We went to Holliday Park, where I finished my sculpture and presented it to Cat. It turned out mucho bettero than my first try from two weeks or so ago. Dinner was here at the apartment. I made chicken fried rice. As I started cooking, we found that we were out of soy sauce, so Cat graciously drove out to get some while I continued cooking. I used my food processor to chop stuff up, which is what usually takes the most time with my fried rice. So, we had that, and then I baked a sleeve of those chocolate chip cookies you can get from the refrigerated section of the grocery. I did them as slices of cookie circle, which only made about 18 cookies from a batch that was probably supposed to make 36. Pillsbury, baby!

Ok, so it wasn't the world's most incredibly interesting weekend from the point of view of someone addicted to roller-coasters and racecars, but it was really nice, and I loved having the girls here.
