The only thing Penny loves more than curling up on a pile of clothes is laying all over Nate's laptop case.

Birthday Celebration
My grandpa turns 75 this month so we surprised him by meeting up for lunch in Champaign yesterday. We also celebrated Mimi's birthday and their 54th wedding anniversary.

Grass
Penny loves her Christmas present from Flurry (and Ben and Amanda). Apparently grass is good for cats even though they can't digest it. We googled it and the grass has fiber and nutrients that are extracted and then she throws up the grass when she's done.

Happy not colonoscopy day!
I was supposed to get a colonoscopy today, but after becoming frustrated with my insurance and my doctor's office, I cancelled. So instead, I got to do a bunch of other fun stuff:
1. Craft night yesterday with girls from small group.
2. Not having to work since I already had the day off.
3. Getting my run in before the snow started.
4. Lunch out with my sister for sushi.
5. Baking a pie for when Nate gets home.

Mission Possible: Date Night
Friday night = date night. Nate and I went out to dinner to Puccini's and shared a veg-head pizza and then saw the new Mission Impossible movie. Which, despite our expectations, actually was a pretty good movie.
And this caused us to reflect on the previous 3 Mission Impossible movies. #1 is definitely the best. I watched it a lot as a kid. #2 is probably the worst. I can say this because although I never saw #3 in it's entirety, I did see the second movie three times in the theater (don't ask). So, as Nate put it, if you want to see a movie that doesn't make you think too hard, go see Ghost Protocol.
