Two Long Rambling Entries

So it’s been an entire week since I posted - what exactly happened to my week last week...

Monday - I did post on Monday - so apparently I had time for that in the evening - but what did I do... oh I remember now - I had a ME night (a night when I don’t answer the phone and I do stuff for me - that usually means laying on the couch and doing nothing) - that was lovely!

Tuesday - we had a wedding shower for one of the guys at work - that was fun - it was a surprise and he was about an hour late - so we had already had a round of drinks and appetizers by the time he got there!  Then I met up with Brandy for yogurt and conversation - always a good time!

Wednesday - prayer right after work and then Bible Study - after Bible Study - helped a friend move some furniture and then hit the gym.  Craig got a workout that an Olympic runner uses when training - so we tried that - thought it might kill me - was a little sore afterwards - but not too bad.  We are supposed to do a mile run at the end of the workout - we didn’t - which was fine for me - I made it up the next day.

Thursday - workout after work - ran a mile and a half and walked half a mile - and the treadmill just kicked my butt!  Then had Children’s choir - they are so cute and so much fun - I help out with the preK through 3rd graders - most of them are 1st grade though.  Then regular choir - which will be the last one for me for a while - can’t make it to practice so I’m taking a break from the choir in October.

Friday - went to a friends for a BBQ - very yummy!  And I have to talk about her pets.  She has a cat - Keisha (aka Cujo - wouldn’t give a second thought to ripping your arm off when you try to pet her) - well, Bless Her Heart - she’s getting old and she has become a two tone cat.  She is grey - but her back half is now a brown color - it was fascinating to see her!  And then their dog, Lucky, he was in the back yard sitting and he all of a sudden started doing this spinning move - I swear it looked like he was on one of  those sit n spins - do you remember them?  It was hilarious watching him just spin in place!  Had a great evening!

Saturday - started with breakfast with friends - went to see another friend to meet her cats for cat sitting I’ll be doing and then I decided that a nap was very important - so I napped.  Then I got my guitar out and practiced some songs since that evening I had to lead music at an Emmaus Gathering - nothing like procrastinating until the last moment!  The Gathering was really good - we had a Tongan youth group come in and do liturgical dance - they were FABULOUS!

Sunday - thought it would be more of a day of rest - ended up at church most of the day - during the service - Craig gave a sermon about keeping people that come and visit - talked about some not so stellar experiences that some of our visitors have encountered and then went through some areas that we can improve on - he then gave a statistic that of 160 people that visited last year - only 12 stayed - and I heard the woman next to me whisper  - in all sincerity - ‘what are we doing wrong?’  And all I could think was - have you been sleeping for the last 20 minutes?  I really had to keep myself from laughing!  I also helped with dinner for the New Beginnings new member class in the afternoon - which was fun - and it was good to see several of the young families that have been coming to Family Fun Night at the class.  And capped it off with yogurt and good conversation with Terrie.

Then last night we had a fundraiser at Ruby’s - so I got there at 5:30pm for dinner (thanks, ladies - it was a good meal and great conversation!) and then ended up staying until almost 8:30pm chatting and dining with other groups.  Kept thinking when I got home last night that ‘I need to post - I need to post’ - but decided that I needed to pick up the clutter in the house even more - so I did that instead - so I thought I would reward you all with two long rambling entries - enjoy!  And I’ll try to be better this week!  As for tonight - it’s turned out to be a ME night - YIPEEE!
