A Hodgepodge of Stuff

New layout and format at Anywhere Is. I didn’t make it, though. I got it from one of those neat free layout sites. I know, I’m a cheat. But I really don’t care. It’s pretty and free and I had to do very little work, and it looks way better than what I had made.

Did you guys hear about the guy who allegedly killed himself at Ground Zero because of the outcome of the Presidential race? Okay, if that’s why he did it… I can’t help but feel it’s a bit drastic. In four years, the President will be out of office. Presidents come and go! But to end your life over that? How desperate. What made him feel like he had no hope? πŸ™

Moving on… it’s very disturbing to listen to a bunch of clearly er… nonhip people on the radio in the morning try to figure out slang words. Lord help me. “What does illin’ mean? Do you know what ‘po-po’ is?” *sigh* Just give it up folks.

Last night, I seriously conditioned my hair and I trimmed the ends. It’s so soft and shiny and smooth now! It’s the little things….

My new boss–the 2nd director I’m supporting–is so funny. He’s from Philadelphia and he has these bright blue eyes. He said he downloaded LL COOL J ring tones to his new cell phone, but they don’t sound as good as the ones on his old phone. Then he came over to my desk with his old phone and had me dial the number so I could hear “The Freaks Come Out At Night.” He’s so random and fun. My other boss is out of town for a few days.

I need to order some new contact lenses. My current ones are driving me a bit mad, but I honestly think I look better without glasses. AND I can wear sunglasses when I’m driving when I have my contacts in.

For itskels: What had happened was…

$5,269,658.

The members of Heritage Christian Church committed $5,269,658 for our building expansion compaign. Our membership has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years. When I first started attending, there were two services. Both on Sunday: 930am and 1115pm. A 6pm Saturday service was added sometime last year, and earlier this year, they’ve added an 815am Sunday service. I am gobsmacked at the impact this church has on lives. It’s had quite the impact on mine.

Church was cool today. I saw a lot of my friends. I get overwhelmed because their are so many people I want to sit and talk to and there is never any time. Lunch afterwards helps some, but I do wish I could have more quality time with my friends.

Kelly P had on the best orange golashes ever. I wish I’d taken a picture of her in them. πŸ™‚

This time change is really screwing with me. akfjlafjklafjl! It’s so dark out, and I feel like it should be about 9pm, but it’s really not even 7pm. Oh gosh. As much of a night owl I am, I HATE the longer nights and shorter days.

While we were coming home from dinner last night, we spotted a house all decorated for Christmas. Chris was complaining and saying they were being stupid. In hindsight, I realize he was jealous. He and Aidan went off to Meijer and came back with all kinds of decorations and lights and then he PUT THEM UP. Luckily, they are not lit yet, but still. *shakes head* He even got one of the inflatable Poohs. Aidan looks at him at goes “bah.” πŸ™‚ :O

Alright. I’m at Chad and Christy’s now and I’m going to take off and get back home so I can get stuff done. Monday Monday Monday is looming. I need to do laundry, shower, do hair, get stuff ready for work. Later, gators! πŸ™‚
