The One About An Update

Today was a good day.  I mean, really good.  I got the worship planning done, went to Dallas, did a lot of mobile working, got arrested for Kaufman County Crime Stoppers, got some more work done, got G$'s "I passed the TAKS test" cell phone ordered, made dinner, and now I'm in bed about to write a paper.

The a/c is going (gone) out in my car.  I'm praying it only needs freon.  Pity party.
I plunged G's toilet tonight for 20 minutes. 20.  Pity party.

The good news is, once I write my paper, the only thing left for the semester is to take a final on Thursday. I'll be off all summer from school.  Almost four months.  I am beside myself with giddiness.  Here's what our summer looks like:

1. VBS, first week of June.
2. WDW, third week of June.
3. Kids Camp, first week of July
4. G$'s bday, last week of July - GWL

G is getting a Kindle for his bday, and I am SO excited to give it to him.  I'm getting it early, so he can take it on our trip to WDW.  A very generous friend gave me a gift card to GWL, and that's how we're making that happen in July.

I'm really excited.  It looks like we're going to have a lot of fun.  I hope there's not too much planned.  I'm off on Mondays, and next Monday is my first one where I don't have class.  I have three Mondays all to myself before G is out for the summer.  I feel a little selfish, because I'm excited about those days.  I might just shop, go to movies, sleep, eat out...or maybe just stare at the wall.  But I'm excited.

I'm enrolled for two classes in the fall.  Statistics (have to have a math to graduate) and an Anthropology course - Society & Culture in Europe (that one just fit my schedule).  The stats class is on Wednesday nights, which means giving up acting in Kidstuf for a semester.  That's tough, because I love Kidstuf - but I have to have this class, and its the first time a math has been offered in the evening.  Its also going to be difficult to balance work, because the band rehearses on Wednesday nights.  So moving rehearsal to another night so I can be there kinda stinks for them.

Thanks for the comments on The One About OBL.  The convo with G went well.  I had to back up all the way to 9/11/2001, but he gets it now.  He's so tender-hearted...tonight he asked me to come in while he took a bath and tell him some more about it (he likes to hear the same things over and over) - but that's when I saw the toilet was clogged.  So we didn't talk anymore about it tonight.

I have a reading list for the summer...what should be on it?  Right now, all the books are ministry/work related.

And finally, a random thing I heard someone say to my Pastor today..."I know a lot about men's drawers."  A few questions.  Who calls them "drawers"?  And is knowing a lot about them something to brag about?  Is there really that much to know about - ahem - drawers?  How does one come by this information?  Of course, he took the comment unflinching, which made it all the more hysterical for me.
