I always think I'm going to get a ton of stuff done on the weekend, especially a three-day weekend.

After doing a little weeding and planting strawberries, we walked to Nancy's and back, with three eggs. Our chickens have been pretty steadily productive, too, so that I know have about 3 dozen eggs. I'm planning to make quiche today.

We didn't have to sing this week, but we went to the service anyway. It was about Labor Day and social action, and included Tammy Webb talking about Haiti. Also Linda Lloyd talked about voter registration. She said they are not allowed this year to have a table at DFCS, where they usually register about 30 people a day, or the library, or several other places, including Family Dollar, where they called the police, when they were in the parking lot. It was depressing. I really feel like giving up sometimes. We have been working for so long and we're going more and more backwards.

We went to Julene's house afterward, to play her piano. I like it and we will try to buy it and have it moved here before Christmas. The best place for it is in the guest bedroom, which is not really great, but we don't have a lot of interior walls to put it against. Poor design--I didn't think about having a piano.

Had a little tuna, lettuce, green beans from the farmer's market, olives and peppers--faux salad nicoise. Tasted great. Did some class work.

Met Janna and Ron at Beechwood to see Hope Springs. It was great, just not as funny as I had expected. It is really couples therapy for older couples, disguised as a movie about an older couple, with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones. They were convincing. Janna and I cried a lot. We met Becky and Kent for dinner at Longhorn, which was fun. I had a blackberry mojito, salad, and ribeye with baked sweet potato. Of course, I brought some home and didn't order dessert, since we had popcorn, Coke and Sno-Caps in the movie.

We were home before 9 and watched some TV, including parts of my Super Ex-Girlfriend, which was not very good, but somewhat funny. The moral? Don't break up with someone who has super-powers.
