Last Words

Lest I leave you for the weekend thinking I am totally boy-crazy, I will attempt to talk about something unrelated.

…………….thinking…………….

I’m going to a youth ministry training event tomorrow. Its kinda strange, getting trained for something I won’t be doing so much of soon. But I’m not really leaving ministry forever – …keep reading

Fashion Police Sighting

The bus is always a great place for fashion police sightings, but none are really worth repeating. This morning, though, I saw something that I can’t help but share.

A woman got on the bus – she was older than (so late 50s early 60s) but her age wore on her – she looked …keep reading

Last Night

I tried posting yesterday afternoon, but I lost my post and couldn’t recover it. But the computer I was working on at is older than dirt. Well, it runs Windows 97. Close enough.

So last night, we told the kids that I’m leaving. Everyone took it really well, didn’t have too many …keep reading

The sights and scenes around me

Here’s what I stare at everyday:

Purse, breakfast, filing…

Computer etc

I’m surprised – the pictures turned out pretty good. But pretty boring. Especially if you take into account that when I took the picture I was sitting at the “far” side of my cube.

However, today when I came in, there was a lovely …keep reading

O Happy Day!

My elbow now moves enough that I can type with both hands. Yay!

Backtrack…
At Wednesday’s doctor appointment I was diagnosed with tendinitis, which sounds pretty wimpy (tennis elbow anyone?), but since it had the ability to make me cry and lose sleep, it’s not really. I was told to take 600 mg of ibuprofen, ice …keep reading

Pain In My---

Elbow. I can’t move it. At all. It’s the left one. I have a doctor appointment today at 2. It hurts so bad I couldn’t sleep last night, and that was after the Excedrin (which hasn’t lasted the full 6 hours but without it I just want to cry). …keep reading

Who Knew?

I got what I needed to make an omelet and hash browns, and headed back as soon as I found them all. She was playing the piano as I returned. Now if there’s anything as sexy as a girl playing a guitar, it’s a girl playing the piano. And she was good at it.

Today’s Fortune, for fun

You’re feeling a bit confused — and you’re so frustrated, you’ve just about had it with everyone. Don’t let that attitude ruin your evening. Keep your plans. They’ll definitely cheer you up.

OK, that could be my fortune every day. Seriously. “You’re so frustrated, you’ve just about had it with everyone.” That only describes days that …keep reading

whew!

I finally figured out who that woman on Revelations is. She looked so familiar, but I couldn’t figure out what I’d seen her in last.

She was the love interest of Jim Carrey in The Truman Show.

Now I can sleep tonight.

On an unrelated note, someone has just called me three times and hung up. …keep reading

my weekend

kinda sucked. Now, it was filled with cool stuff, and I did have fun, but once you get the overall view, I think you’ll see where I’m coming from.

side note: I bought a new purse this weekend. Isn’t it cute? [Link removed] (Two small problems: no inner pockets, and it smells STRONGLY of plastic. …keep reading

[insert appropriate exclamation here]

I knew I looked good today when I got on the elevator to go up to the 5th floor. I held it for a guy walking behind me (as the man in front of me had done for me – the elevators go from the first floor to the 17th, and it’s just polite …keep reading

Why I love

…Minnesota. People here (myself included – I’ve lived here long enough to pick up certain… idiosyncrasies) act as if there are only two seasons: winter, and summer. When we get the slightest hint that winter has released us from its icy grip, when temperatures rise above freezing and snow is nowhere to be …keep reading

Two good verses on Wisdom

Proverbs 19:8

“To acquire wisdom is to love oneself; people who cherish understanding will prosper.”

Proverbs 24:14

“In the same way, wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, you will have a bright future, and your hopes will not be cut short.”
