Time for an Update!
What have I been up to lately, you may ask? Well, obviously not blogging! Here are a few things that have been occupying my time:
1. Work: I work at the church from 9am-2pm on Mon, Wed, and Fri and Miss Kay is not quite feeling good enough to come back yet. She was hoping to come back last Monday but still had a fever, so now she is hoping for this coming Monday. So my job could end at any time. I am just playing it by ear right now. While I am here (I'm at church right now) I type the bulletin, update the prayer list, answer the phone, answer the door, sort the mail, and delete all the emails. Well, almost all of them :). I also play games online (www.popcap.com has some fun games!) and email people while I'm here because it gets rather boring at times.
2. Friends: I have made a new friend down here. Mrs. Bridges is Alex's co-worker's mom and we have a great time together. We usually go out for lunch and spend the whole afternoon together on my days off, because she is home by herself all day too. Both of us are 1-vehicle families, so usually she drops Todd off at work and we go out partying and Alex and Todd just do lunch together and come to our house after work to meet us. Yesterday we had a delicious Italian lunch of Calzones (and Tiramisu for dessert!!!), then we went to Walmart and the library! I suddenly felt like listening to a "Hank the Cowdog" book on tape, so I got "The Case of the Deadly Ha-Ha Game" while were at the library :). I was too embarrassed to go asking the librarians, so I was just going to search till I found it, but Mrs. Bridges went and got help :). What a loyal and brave friend! :D
3. Church: Alex is the T&T director in Awana, and I am one of the leaders in his group. Well, sort of. I'm not officially in any one club yet but so far I've been in T&T almost every week. Last Sunday night I helped out in Sparks because they were short-handed though. Anyways, we have a great time with the kids. And we also have fun planning the council time lesson every week. Its hard to try to balance it so that it is interesting for the kids and keeps their attention, but not so interesting that the object lesson or examples are distracting to the real message. I think Alex is doing well at it, and he is improving all the time :).
4. Saturdays: Well, that's my favorite day of the week because there's always a chance that Alex won't have to work that day :). Last Saturday he was positive that he was going to be working because his boss really overbooked them for the next couple of weeks, but he said that they kind of snuck out of work right on time Friday night and Gerald didn't really get a chance to ask them to work :). So we got to go shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond and get some necesary items, like a sillicone muffin pan, pastry blender, skirt hangers, and... maybe that was all. We won't be so fortunate this weekend though, Gerald asked them all on Wednesday to work this Saturday. So there's no escaping it! :)
I think that about covers every day of the week! So now you all know what I am doing. And when I'm at home after work I usually do a lot of emailing and whatever housework that is desperate to be done. Usually I don't do the housework until its desperate :D. Oh yes, and cooking. I love the cooking stuff :).
And Alex's birthday is coming up next Wednesday, so I'm trying to be sneaky about his gifts :). I picked up a very practical one at Walmart yesterday. I don't know if he will consider it to be very practical, but he really needs one! :) And I ordered a less practical one off Amazon :). I hope it comes when he's not at home!!
And if Alex's birthday is coming up, you all know what that means. And just in case you don't, I'll tell you... MINE IS EXACTLY 3 WEEKS LATER!!! So mark your calendars... only 26 days till my birthday! I haven't updated you on that countdown for quite a while now :). I'll be an old geezerette... 23 years old! Goodness gracious! Next thing you know I'll be wrinkled and grayhaired! Anyways, that's about all I have to say for now. Adioodles!!!
