I have several items to report:

• My mom’s parents have upgraded to cable internet service, so now they can surf the Net at warp speed. Yeehaw!
• I got my first adult tooth filling yesterday. Although I was quite upset at having tooth decay, Dr. Butler did a great job. They can now fill cavities with tooth-colored material so that it looks completely natural.
• I am now officially a grant-writing volunteer for ALARM. Celestin (the president/founder) and I had a great meeting on Monday. They have lots of great ideas and just need help finding the money to pay for them. That’s where I come in.
• Our garage sale prep is going GREAT! Our Sunday school class and families are contributing lots of stuff, and our living room is filling up. We plan to run ads in both the Keller and Fort Worth papers to boost publicity. We’ll be open for business March 23-24 from 8-3. If you’re in the area, come shop or just hang out!
• My stocks are not doing well! This isn’t as much fun when the price doesn’t keep going up. At least my Prosper borrowers are paying me back.
• Tonight I went to poker night with the guys from my men’s Bible study (ironic, eh?). We ate manly food like wings and tacos and then played Texas Hold’Em, which I’d never played before. Not surprisingly, I only won one hand and was first to leave the game. Good thing we were playing for free chips instead of real money or, even worse, clothes.
