Potato Salad and other things

I just made my first potato salad. I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it's any good. But I put bacon in it just to make sure it will be edible.

We just read the first two books in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (well, I did. Trey is still working on the second). It's a bit like reading Monty Python, except the character and plot development are more thorough (or should I say, it has character and plot development---the characters are actually dynamic! yay!).

By the way, we borrowed these books from the Sauerweins; I still haven't broken my vow (much to Uncle Jim's chagrin). But, Uncle Jim, this should encourage you: Trey went to a youth leaders' conference these weekend and bought upwards of ten new books. We have a new stack!!

I have been fairly productive today, so I think I'll go see if I can do some leisure now.

Last week, I went to three barbeque's in three days: one for my work, one for my church, and one as a fund-raiser for my sister's youth group.

I think potato salad is stalking me.
