Weekend Update

In my quest to find a good version of the Bible to read, I came across one I think I'll pass on. This is from the teen bible Revolve (from my 365 stupid quotes calendar):

"The Fire of God's love burns out the sin the same way the hot steam routs the dirt our of your pores."

On Saturday Rusty and I went hiking and then to Subway for lunch. In the afternoon I went to Chris's grandfather's surprise 80th birthday party. The best part of the party? His cousin's 2 beagles, Buddy and Bang (I don't know either). I can just imagine the look I must have had on my face when I finally looked down towards the back yard and saw them. They were freaking adorable! I finally convinced Chris that we're getting beagles. One's going to be named Beau, but I don't know about the other one yet. After that I was pretty productive. I washed my car, put a second and third coat of water sealer on my table, sprayed bug spray around the perimeter of our house (we don't have a basement so we get tons of bugs in the summer), and potted my mint in a separate pot. My tipsters were right; when I pulled out the mint the roots had spread throughout the whole pot, and it was only about 2 weeks ago that I planted it.

On Sunday I went with Rusty to her family's weekly Aroma outing and took a 2-hour nap afterwards (Mmmm, MSG). Then I watched Hell House, a documentary about a haunted house-type thing a church puts on to teach people about the "evils" of society. I wasn't as offended as I thought I'd be except for the part where they portrayed a gay man dying of AIDS, implying that being gay is a choice and AIDS is god's way of ridding the world of gays. The funniest part was when one of the staff members was arguing with 2 teenagers and the teenagers' argument (which was surprisingly well-spoken and well-thought out) left him speechless.
