Long Tomorrow

Wow - it's been a long tomorrow! So the puppet festival was fun - Lynne and I have decided that we are going to quit everything and go into puppet ministry full time! We had the opportunity to watch various puppet skits, go to workshops and do a bit of shopping also - so one of these days we will get our act together and start something at Shepherd - but want to make sure we do it right!
So let's see - what has happened since I last posted... was the vicitm of credit card fraud - which has led to a nightmare experience with Weight Watcher's online customer service (or lack there of) - was thrown out of Coldstone Creamery - and then lied to by their manager - and have had several bad experiences at restaurants... I told my supervisor it was her fault because I was put on a special project at work to put together something about customer service and when she sent the email to the group to introduce me - she called me the 'customer service expert' - at least now I have lots of stories to tell on what not to do!
And Weight Watchers - frustrating - it's a long story - but suffice it to say that I was cancelled from the program because I had to close my credit card account and when they tried to charge - I didn't have the new one yet - so this morning - I went to what might be my last meeting - and I had reached my 10% goal - have lost 22 pounds overall (yeah for me). And of course to add insult to injury - the woman that weighed me in - either didn't know or didn't think about recognizing me in the meeting for reaching that goal - figures - what a way to end a bit of a crappy week! In hindsight - I should have stood up in the meeting and just said that I wanted a pat on the back - at least I had two of my peeps there to celebrate with me. Stewed a bit about it on the way to my next event of the day - went ot South County Outreach to sort and put away food that is given out to the homeless. Went with one of the women's groups from church - and what a surprise to see the youth group from our church there also! It was a lot of fun - and truly made me forget all my frustration with WW and the meeting.
In the afternoon I had the opportunity to lay down for a few minutes and little miss Sadie kitty came up on the couch and cuddled next to me - we had a nice afternoon catnap. And then this evening was the Family Fun Night at church - and it is so much fun to get together with all of the kids. There was one little girl - maybe two or three - that was following me after Cal and I played our guitars and sang and I kneeled down to talk to her and she just walked up and gave me a big hug - what a sweetheart - and just what I needed. God is good.
