We Live
Wow, my last post was on November 30th? That's just sad. Ye olde blogge is sorely neglected.
Is anyone still checking in?
Here's a load of random stuff from the past couple of weeks:
1. Watched Night at the Museum 2 - not as good as the first, we laughed in places probably not intended to be funny. Hank Azaria was not funny. 2.5 stars out of 5. Next up: Julie & Julia. Amy Adams, yet again, in all of her perkiness.
2. We have beef. A large quantity of it. It looks very good - nice and lean. We managed to screw up in our order of the cuts wanted, which resulted in a lot of ground beef, but that was our fault. The first to be eaten will be t-bone steaks on Monday or Tuesday.
3. Jesse is entering the challenging 3s. I loved 2. He's just shy of 3 and there are times when I wonder if he'll make it to 4. The problem is his insatiable curiosity and intelligence. My fear is that he will figure out how to dismantle the DVD player (or something similar). Yesterday he decided to decorate his room with Boudreaux's Butt Paste. I won't go into further details, except that attempts at clean up involved Orange Glo furniture polish. I'll be breaking out the OxiClean tomorrow. Truthfully, I haven't had a chance to investigate the whole situation yet because I haven't been in his room in daylight since it happened.
4. Traffic is killing me this week - it took me 2 hours to get from work to our church last night, which is actually closer than if I had gone home. I had band practice, so I had to be there. Got no dinner and I didn't get home until after 10pm. If Beau hadn't brought the to the pot luck lunch at work I wouldn't have seen either of them at all yesterday. Boo.
5. Why is December so freakin' busy? I have worship team this weekend. Then next weekend I have a worship arts team Christmas party at our pastor's house on Saturday night (with the departure of our worship leader in the spring, we've been lead by a team of folks in the interim. Supposedly we're supposed to hear the vision at this party. I have heard bits and pieces from various staff that trouble me.) On Sunday night my small group ladies are having a Christmas pot luck. I'm not sure if we'll then have our regular Monday night meeting or not, but I know the plan was to be finished with the Meyer book before Christmas, so I think we well.
6. On the Meyer book, I have mixed feelings about it. The general principles are good and the encouragement to go to Scripture is well needed and excellent. However, I have issues with a few of the things she has said - not major theological things, but things that could be taken wrong if out of context.
7. Still no word on a date for my transition to the new job. It's beyond frustrating. I'm sure my stuff is sitting on some drone's desk waiting for action, while said drone is out on his/her use-or-lose leave.
