Had a long post but for the third time Aol kicked me off and I lost everything.  Maybe tomorrow I will be able to expound on my vacation theories, Marty goes to Hollywood, and subject titles.  In many colors and fonts!

Wednesday

I have to take the trash out tonight.  They changed our garbage pick-up from Monday to Thursday morning probably a year ago, but it still doesn't seem natural.  I want to clean up my room tonight also.  I'm still trying to get the desire to do that, but I guess I will go do that now.

 

Bye!

Dinner

Why can't tired be a mood?  I'm sleepy for some reason tonight.  Maybe because last night I slept on the sofa to keep the puppies company.  It was so cute.  Twice Koti jumped on me, then he looked at me & laid down next to me.  He really wanted to cuddle.  He was so sweet & cuddly.  Then at one point Blitzen wanted a little attention.  Then Koti put his paws on the arm of the sofa stuck his head over and gave my nose a kiss.  Awww.

It's chilly in here for some reason.

I made halibut tacos tonight.  Just for the hal - ib - ut.  I know groan.  It was okay.  Soft taco with lots of taco fixings.  I couldn't find cilantro so I skipped it and used lime juice instead in the guacamole. - I don't suggest that.

I'm going to go feed the dogs & psyche myself up to iron.

Monday

I had meetings from 11:30 on today.  So fun.  And I love when you say something, and someone else says no.  And then you realize, the other person didn't say no because it was a bad idea, but they are afraid it's better than theirs and you'll look better than them?

That's about all I can say.

The second part of Youth Sunday and the senior dinner went great!

Koti and Blitzen are two adorable dogs.  Oh! and I watched the Preakness.  My heart was in my throat.  I'm glad Barbaro survived the surgery.  And I feel bad for Bernardini.  It should have been a triumph for him, but instead everyone's upset about something else.

Should Thursday be the beginning of the weekend?

You know what I miss the most about college?  Even after seven years! Thursday evenings.  I know the joke is college students start drinking then, but even those of us who didn't drink did that.  We'd go to Primetime for Campus Crusade.  And we had the most awesome praise band ever.  Then someone would have a party and we'd head over there, or over to Shriver Center to get smoothies and hang out.  I miss that, then there were only Friday morning classes, Noon Praise, the afternoon classes then the weekend.   Now I'm sitting home on Thursday nights.  I want to go out and celebrate the coming weekend!

Work

So  I forgot to mention the big news from Monday

1.  We had a new intern start.  I know I'm confusing her with little details.  Let's just hope she catches on quick.  And I went to jr. high (and high school) with someone who had the same name.

2.  While we were talking, the company president walked around introducing some one - I turned around and it was Carl3.  OMG!  He shook my hand and repeated my name like he'd ever remember it.  But Good day to wear the polo shirt with fish on it, since he's known to be religious.

 

I'll write more after I meet anyone else famous or rich!

My comments: wanted and otherwise

From www.sweetvalley.com

So I finished reading this book tonight.  Sadly yes, Sweet Valley High does still amuse me.  However, I'm not as fond of Senior Year as the others.  It's sooo the drama!!!  And I don't care if Elizabeth is with Conner or Jeff.  One, Jeff corrected people in Sweet Valley High when people called him Jeff not Jeffrey, why'd he change now?  And Conner - so not into slackers.  Besides Liz belongs with Todd.  But it was a fun hour to read.

What am I really frustrated about?  I found out someone at church has decided that no group in the church can "do" an entire Sunday Morning service.  Because evidently the decision maker is the only one who can decide what worship is.  It's not - the choirs having a music Sunday or Hymnody Sunday.  Or the Sunday School or youth group sharing their view, or any other group within the church.  How nice to know that God fits neatly into a traditional box.  And by traditional, I mean a song, prayer, offering, sermon by a minister, prayer, song.  And that no one in the church is convicted by God to share something.  Please pick your own adjectives, because I'll quit before I get nasty.

Monday

So Youth Sunday Part 1 is finished! Whew!  So good, but so tiring.  Well, the lock-in was very exhausting.  The kids were great and quite frankly they were so happy when I brought the sugar & caffeine at 2:45 in the morning that really made it worth it.  The Prodigal Son drama was amazing.  And I really like my shirts and seeing all the college kids!  So I'm tired, but happy.

AND, the insurance company is paying for everything on my car!  Though if I was to get a new car, which does everyone like better the Fusion, a cheap Escape, a Limited Edition Escape, or a cute, but completely impractical Mustang?

I'm being cleaned around! Help!

So I'm being cleaned around, and I'm doing not a whole lot since it's 10:45pm.  Would anyone care to explain why my mother who was watching tv, got a sudden desire to clean the house at 10:30 at night.  And from the noisy breathing, I'm guessing it's a problem that I want to finish reading my email.

I do have a huge praise for the day.  I pipe was bouncing around I75 today.  It hit my car and scratched, scraped, and nicked my hood, grill, and driver's door.  But the car still runs!  And seriously, I thought the pipe was going to come through my windshield.  So I guess we can all just be happy that I'm still alive.
