Mother's Day!

So Mother's Day was fun. I got a card in the mail Friday from Jere, Tim's brother, for the Mother to Be. It was awesome and totally unexpected! I also went to lunch with Tim's parents today and I got another MTB card and a cute figurine of a pregnant woman. I spoiled an argument between two of my friends this evening. They wanted to know whether or not Tim got me anything for Mother's Day. The husband felt like Tim shouldn't have to b/c there is no actual child yet. My girlfriend felt like I was already "taking care of the baby" by eating right, staying healthy, etc. I ruined her argument by saying I hadn't expected Tim to get me anything b/c technically there is no child yet...however when Father's Day roles around he better remember this:)

This weekend I went through my wardrobe and began to siphon out clothing I don't ever wear, clothing I won't be wearing for another year, and clothing that I received from a friend that I'll be wearing for the next four months. I'm so glad we are having a yard sale this weekend! I hope to make some extra $$$ from the stuff I haven't worn (and honestly won't wear) in forever. We are holding the yard sale with our next door neighbor and I'm hoping that we'll unload our old treasures into someone elses hands. I'd hate to have to bring everything back into the house...in fact most of it will go to the Salvation Army if it's not sold. Our house just isn't big enough for all of our stuff...and since we won't be moving for a few more years it will be good to reduce the amount of stuff we have...and I imagine with a new child we'll be increasing thier stuff!!

On a fun and totally random note: I got to meet Francis Ford Coppola on Friday evening. He was in town on a press junkett for Wine DayDreams and Memories which is his travelling road show promoting his wines (Rosso&Bianco, Diamond Collection, www.ffcpresents.com) and telling stories about how he got into film and food. It was a great evening and a lot of fun. Coppola definately weaves his family and history into everything he does. I was completely impressed as he didn't shy away from talking to everyone after he completed his portion of the program. He talked, took pictures, signed things. He looked tired (and knowing his schedule, that's not unwarranted), but still took the time to speak to everyone and treat them as if they were the only person in the room (which is hard when you have five people trying to get your attention at once). I got one picture with him which I'll post tomorrow or later in the week. If anyone finds themselves lucky enough to get a ticket to this show I definately recommend going. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity!
