Just Me and Blanco

Wes has to be in Dallas for a week for some work training. I spent my first night alone...just me a Blanco. I thought I would feel protected with a dog - but then I realized that he is just an 11 week old puppy that loves people, including strangers. He is not a protector yet! I went to a devotional last night and got home just before a thunderstorm rolled through. Scary movies always have a thunderstorm...I tried very hard not to remember any scary movies I'd seen. SCREAM was the first scary movie I ever watched - I watched it in middle school secretively behind my parents back (I was 12 and it was rated R...why we thought that was cool I don't know!). I had nightmares for weeks and finally confessed what I had done! I wish I would've stopped there with horror movies...SCREAM is funny now when I think about it, others are not so funny - like The Chainsaw freak.

On the bright side, I was able to read more of Blue Like Jazz, and I've really enjoyed it. I was also able to talk with my mom (who is also alone right now because my dad is traveling for business). Conversations with her are always easy going and fun.

Laura and I will be going to Dallas on Wednesday to meet up with our husbands. I'm already looking forward to it - a great time to get away for a while and to have a relaxing weekend with family. Until then, it's just me and Blanco!
