Wednesday was a big day in our house; not only did we have the "dinner party," but our brand new washing machine was delivered! We didn't hook it up until yesterday, and haven't used it yet (but plan to today), and I am quite excited to say goodbye to the days of twin-tubbing. It's a combo washer/dryer, which means when it rains for days on end, we can still have clean clothes. Exciting times!
Thursday was reasonably uneventful, despite a frozen pork fiasco that resulted in the disinfecting of the kitchen, but also in a tasty dinner. Our volleyball team won a decisive victory in the evening, which was awesome. We played well and had a lot of fun. I'm pretty well used to the new rules now, and Jesse's game is steadily improving. His cricket team did fairly well, too, so it was a winning night at the indoor sports center for J&J.
Yesterday, I hung around the house and got some much-needed cleaning done while Jesse ran a few errands. A girl from church came over to hang out, and we ate leftovers (pot roast, canneloni, and sweet and sour pork) for dinner and watched Music & Lyrics, which she hadn't seen, and is a movie I greatly enjoy (one of a handful of movies I actually own, aside from Jesse's collection). We followed that up with an episode of Numb3rs and then Law & Order before calling it a night.
Today has been a lazy day so far. I've been playing Scramble and the Typing Speed application on facebook, and Jesse's playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii. At some point, we'll start getting ready for the youth leadership conference, for which we leave very early Monday morning. It's in the Blue Mountains, where I have not yet been, so I'm quite excited to visit there. I'm also looking forward to getting some instruction on working with the youth, and hopeful it will reinvigorate Jesse, the two leaders, and me to better teach them. Needless to say, I will be incommunicado beginning Monday, but let's face it; I haven't been that consistent with posts anyway, so perhaps no one will notice ;)
